LEADER: The Council will remind you of the heavy losses
emanating from this San Francisco.
From what we have learned,
all of the witches there have been charmed.
DRAGON: I descend from a long line of Dragon warlocks.
When my father died, he left me two things:
The power of flight,
and the passionate hatred for those who killed him, witches.
And I will not rest until I put all witches to rest.
The Council is intrigued.
However, all who have used force on these witches before have failed.
There is another way.
A genie? You can't be serious.
Tell them what you told me.
Well, actually, that was kind of a just-between-you-and-me thing.
- Tell it! - All right.
Well, personally, I think that the best way to destroy witches
is not to treat them like witches at all.
You treat them like humans.
Most of your evildoers, naughty types,
think it's best to deprive humans of what they desire.
No. You want to get them, you give them exactly what they desire.
You grant them their wishes, it'll lead to their undoing.
We don't know that. He's a genie!
If Council agrees, how do we proceed?
Well, just make sure that the bottle cross paths with the witches
and let El Genie Grande take it from there.
With all due respect, genies only work for themselves.
If he grants them three wishes, he goes free.
How do you know that he won't betray you?
Remember, getting your freedom does not make you free from us.
As long as you are a genie, we can find you anytime.
Anywhere.
PHOEBE: Check my to-do list.
It says "bank, dry cleaners, pedicure.”
Nowhere on the list does it say "kick-box a beast."
Just walking along, minding my own business, and wham!
It was like a random attack. A demonic drive-by.
Nothing in our lives is random anymore.
You know, we keep saying that, but what does it really mean?
Is there some kind of cosmic order to all this?
Are we on some kind of list? And if so, how many points are we worth?
- Phoebe... PHOEBE: What?
We've had a great year. We've wiped out a ton of nasties.
I just want to know if we've tripped some supernatural alarm or anything.
Owie!
And are we ever gonna learn what it really means?
Well, not to sound all whitelightery,
but everything happens in its own time.
You know, you can't rush what's to be.
Okay, how about what already is? Dan is back in town.
- So? - So, what am I gonna tell him?
The last time I saw him,
he handed me proof that you were killed in 1942.
He's gonna expect a reaction from me.
How about, "Hey, Dan, you're right. I am a necrophiliac.”
- Phoebe. - Ow!
Why does everyone always "Phoebe" me?
- Hey. - Where are you off to?
- Lunch date with Dick. - Dull Dick?
Prue, you are too hot to have to duty date.
Yeah, well, all demon-hunting and no play
has made me a lot less picky.
I gotta figure out a way to put some more balance in my life.
Yeah, but you don't need Dick.
Hmm.
What I mean is, you should be excited to see the guy you're dating.
You look like you're off to the Inquisition.
It's not that bad.
Okay, I have to go open the club.
Are you gonna be all right, Pheebs?
Yes, and I think I'm-- Thanks, Leo.
I'm gonna take a walk and try to loosen up my ankle.
What is that?
- I don't know. - Somebody got a secret admirer?
It's so dusty. Who would send us something so dusty?
[COUGHS]
Your wish is my command.
PHOEBE: I don't get it.
You've been stuck in that bottle for 200 years,
someone finally sends you to us,
and you have no idea who licked the stamp?
I kind of find that hard to believe.
What, and a genie man standing in our living room, wearing that,
offering to grant us each a wish isn't?
Well, I don't get it.
You win the lotto and you're asking for explanations?
Actually we'd just like to know who to send the thank-you note to.
All I know is that you rubbed!
And now I serve.
Oh. Look at that.
Mmm.
Snacks.
What I wouldn't give to taste food just once.
- Smell it even. - Ow.
I don't trust him. Genies are tricksters by nature.
They can and will do anything just to be freed.
What are you, the butler? Come on!
Everybody's got wishes.
I mean, most people spend their entire lives
with their wishes never coming true. Here's your chance.
No way is this legit.
Oh, you don't think so? Well, I'll tell you what is.
I stay until I grant three wishes. One from each of you.
Those are the rules. No wishes, permanent houseguest.
And I snore. I make phone calls I can't even pay for.
You think I'm gonna be putting the CDs back in the right case? No.
All right, talk amongst yourselves.
I'll be over here, all right?
I have a hunch that I'm going to be here for a while.
This is a nice house.
Uh...
He's enjoying this.
All right, Leo, what else do you know about genies?
Well, one good thing is they're not evil by nature.
I mean, they can't harm you unless you wish for something.
Well, I mean, what is so dangerous about a wish?
Well, with genies, there's always a catch, an unseen consequence.
For example, say a man wishes for a car.
The next day, his dad will die, and he'll inherit a car.
So as long as we don't wish...?
You're free and clear.
Clear enough to make a lunch date?
If what Leo says goes, you two go on ahead.
Leave the genie with the cripple. I'm not really in a wishing mood.
- Thank you, gimp. - Mm-hm.
- You sure? - Yeah. I'll look through the Book
and see if we could UPS him back to where he came from.
All right.
So, what's it gonna be, master?
So have you been here before?
Oh, it's close to the office. I don't like to take long lunches.
What's good?
The Caesar's fine.
The pasta's fine. The fish is fine.
- Steak is... - Fine.
Yeah, actually. How'd you know?
Wild guess.
What have I gotten myself into?
Hey, Dick.
[COUGHING]
Don't you just love butter?
Creamy goodness. To your health.
Uh...
Dick, are you--?
Sick and tired of trying to pass myself off
as even being halfway worthy of dating you? You betcha!
Look, you and I both know I'm dull as mud.
I can't help it. I know who I am.
I know I'm not the guy you're looking for.
I---
The question is, what are you looking for?
I mean, come on.
How do we make it to date three when you really know I'm not the guy?
Uh, it's...
I don't know.
You know, I mean, at this point, I just...
...feel like dating is kind of a job, you know.
I mean, you get numb, but you feel like it's your duty to stay out there.
I just want to feel excited by love again.
I wish it was like it was the first time.
Your wish, my command.
Hi. How about great fortune? You want that?
- After taxes, not worth it. GENIE: No?
- Land? Power? Beauty? - Nope.
- Okay, who am I kidding. - Why are you not in this book?
Because the only way to get rid of me is to make three wishes.
Come on! Large or small. I do all kinds.
Only no world peace. I can't do that.
The fine print of wishing. Your job has its limitations.
Yeah, well, so does yours.
Occupational hazard.
Doesn't have to be.
You could wish to be as powerful as you want.
Nope. Nope. I am not interested in that.
Oh, "not interested.” Not interested in absolute power.
You're a rocket scientist.
PIPER: I mean, poor Dan.
It would just be so much easier if I could be honest with him.
But other than saying, "Leo is a whitelighter,"
what am I gonna tell him?
Well, what more does he need to know?
Well, maybe it's about what I need to know.
I mean, you've been watching me my whole life,
and I don't even know where you spend yours.
If there's anything you want to know--
It's not exactly about knowing, it's more about experiencing,
and experiencing it with you.
I mean, I have no idea where you go when you orb out.
Do you have a house? Friends? A CD player?
It's not really like that.
- Dan. - You've got to be kidding me.
Wait.
I think it's time we talked.
I don't think there's anything to talk about, Piper.
It's your life.
Leo, can you give us a second, please?
Yeah, yeah.
What do you expect from me? I'd really like to know.
At this point, I don't know what to expect from you.
I mean, how can you be with this guy after everything I found out about him?
He's a fraud.
Dan, I know who Leo is. I always have.
What?
It's not that I don't appreciate everything you--
Wait. I've spent all this time worrying about you,
worrying about who he is...
...and you've known all along?
Well, uh, it's...
It's very complicated.
Complicated?
Complicated.
[PIPER SIGHS]
PIPER: He's right, he deserves to know.
But what am I gonna tell him? What am I gonna do?
I wish there was somehow he could just move on with his life.
Your wish, my command.
Do not do that!
Is that a wish?
No, it is not a wish!
So figure out how to get rid of me yet?
Yeah, I have to get you back in the bottle.
I have no idea how to do that, but I will figure it out.
Well, wish it and it will be so.
Otherwise, your only shot is if I volunteer to leave willingly,
and, news flash, that's not gonna happen.
Oww!
I'm sorry.
Look, could you stop trying to banish me
just long enough for me to try a little something on you?
It's wish-free.
All right.
Ow.
Ow. Ow.
Wow.
Oh. Ah.
- Where did you learn how to do that? - Little something a sultan taught me.
Um...
Just out of curiosity, what would you wish for yourself?
I mean, you must have heard them all, right?
So, what would be your wish?
Well, I mean, that's easy.
I'd wish for the little things, you know. Things people take for granted.
I mean, the feeling of a suntan.
Taste of ice cream, preferably chocolate.
Sex. That looks like that could be a little bit of fun.
I don't know, to be human.
Yeah. That's what I'd wish for.
So, what did you do to yourself here?
I was demon-duelling, and one of my kicks was a little off-centre.
So, uh, did you finish them off with your, uh, scary witchy power?
No, that is my power.
- That's it? - That and premonitions.
You're a witch with no real powers?
I mean, no, you know, premonitions, those are, uh:
- Those are great, but... - I know. I know.
I mean, I would love an active power, but what can you do?
Ow.
You've just done it!
And I know exactly where to get one.
- Was that a...? - A wish? Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
And that's three, and I'm free.
- Three? That wasn't even one. - That's three, I'm gone. Yeah.
Okay, if you're free, then where's my power?
Hello? Genie.
Um, I'll be right back.
Well, thank you very much for your time, I appreciate it.
- Good luck. - All right.
What's going on?
I, uh... I got a job offer in Portland.
I just thought I'd take it.
Just like that?
I just think it's time that I move on with my life, don't you?
Look, I really gotta go.
Right.
- Something's not right. - But it's probably for the best.
No, something he said when I asked...
PRUE: Hey! Piper, check it out!
Okay, so the valet guy said that this cool ride is mine, can you believe it?
Ooh.
Who's the cute boy?
Prue?
Hey, are you okay?
I mean, don't take this the wrong way, but you're looking kind of old.
PIPER: Yeah, and you're back in braces.
PHOEBE: Help! Is anyone home?
- Prue! Piper! LEO: Phoebe!
PHOEBE: I'm up here.
I can't get down.
I don't know how I got up.
PHOEBE: Gently. LEO: I gotcha.
- Thank you, Leo. - No problem.
That is so totally cool.
So do I get that power when I get old too?
All right, let's get something straight. We are not old,
we are just older than you are right now, for some reason.
Wait a minute. Exactly how old are you?
- Seventeen. PIPER: Seventeen?
Prue was a nightmare at that age.
- Why would she wish for that? LEO: She probably didn't.
She probably wished for something she could only get by being 17.
Which explains why she has no memory of being older.
But how is that even possible? I mean, it's so we-- Ooh!
Okay.
All right, maybe you should just keep your arms down
- till you learn to work the controls. - Got it. Good idea.
You sure you don't remember anything about witches, genies, Dick?
No, but it sounds totally bitchen.
- This is such a cool book, what is it? PIPER: I'll tell you when you're older.
Let go of it. Stop it! Stop it!
You know, you guys have another problem.
At 17, Prue didn't have her powers yet. Makes you guys more vulnerable.
Yeah, especially if whoever sent the genie is a demon or something.
DRAGON: Where's my power? I want it back!
- Who is that? - A demon or something.
You stay here.
DRAGON: Come here! - You stay.
Remember what I told you about wishes and the strings attached?
That genie gave you a power, but he must have stolen it from him.
PIPER: Are we thinking demon or warlock?
PHOEBE: I don't know. - Oh, my God! Who's the hottie?
Oh, my God. Get her out of here, now!
- Go! - Piper!
Okay. Okay.
- Okay. All right. - Easy, easy.
Okay, now what?
Well, we can't vanquish him if we don't know what he is.
So why don't I just fly him out of here and dump him somewhere.
PIPER: I don't know, can you do that?
I have no idea, but I could try to do that.
I mean, I've always wanted an active power, right?
- Uh-huh. - So let's see what I can do.
- All right. - All right.
[PIPER CLEARS THROAT]
[SCREAMING]
Phoebe?
[DRAGON SCREAMING]
[GASPS]
[DRAGON SCREAMING]
Your new little sister's in the bedroom checking out the clothes.
Nice to see some things never change.
I think I found our fire-breather.
PHOEBE: Guys! Hello! - A Dragon warlock.
LEO: Most feared witch-killer there is.
He can fly, breathe fire, has supernatural strength.
You're gonna need the power of three to vanquish him.
PHOEBE: Whoa. - Which we don't have right now.
If I ever find that genie again, I'm gonna wish him into oblivion.
[PHOEBE SCREAMING]
- Did you hear that? - Hear what?
[PHOEBE SCREAMING]
PIPER: Oh, my God. Are you all right? PHOEBE: Uh-huh.
- I'm great. PIPER: All right, okay. All right.
Oh, oh. All right.
Flying's awesome. It's the landing part that's a bitch.
Yeah.
All right, Leo. How do we fix this?
PHOEBE: Oh, I know how to fix it.
According to the Book, we gotta get the genie back in the bottle.
It's the only way to undo the wishes and make everything normal.
First, we gotta find him, and we don't know where to start.
Well, he's really got a thing for food.
Maybe he went back to that café where he found Prue.
It's worth a try.
This guy's not a genie, he's a pig.
Hi.
Want to know what I'm wishing for now?
Look, you're probably a little bit upset, huh?
No, I've moved past upset and right to pissed off!
You tricked us,
and now there's a warlock trying to turn us into witch kabobs.
Warlock? What warlock?
A Dragon warlock. The one you stole the flying power from?
- You remember him? - Oh, wow. He came already?
Wait a second. How did he know where to look for you?
- 1 don't know, you tell us. - Well, I didn't tell him.
Look, he probably just tracked it somehow, that's all.
I don't know. We're not partners.
I got this gig on my own.
Wait, "gig"?
So somebody did send you. Who was it?
Well, you see, that's part of the whole genie-client privilege thing.
I couldn't possibly tell. Yeah, plus, that and they'll kill me.
They're gonna have to wait in line. Let's go, put that down.
All right, just one more. That chocolate's so good.
- Put that down. - You know, you are a real killjoy.
You know what? You're going right back in that bottle, buddy.
What happened? Where did he go?
I thought you said freed genies don't have powers.
They don't. Somebody who does must have wanted him, badly.
LEADER: It has come to our attention that you violated our pact.
Your accuser will speak.
He used the Halliwell wishes, not to destroy them,
but to free himself from his bottle.
What do you say to this charge?
It was all part of the master plan, all right?
And those witches would be dead right now
if Puff over here hadn't screwed everything up.
Screwed everything up?
You stole a power from me.
Borrowed, okay? The term is "borrowed."
And I knew that it would piss you off so bad
that you would be that much more motivated
to get out there and kill you some witches, right?
But your plan failed.
The Dragon's attack was thwarted.
Look, you don't go after the witches with power.
You go after the one without.
Cool.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
When I first got the call, I naturally dismissed it as a crank,
until I realized it was the deputy mayor on the other end.
Okay, Darryl, can you speed this up, because I'm kind of busy right now.
What, flying?
Now, see, I've learned to interpret those pauses as admission.
- What did he see? - Actually it was his wife.
Who swore she saw a brown-haired woman fly over the house earlier.
Without a plane.
- How about a broomstick? - Phoebe, this isn't funny.
Just the fact that a call like that got routed to me
gives you some idea of the pressure that I'm under here.
PIPER: Phoebe? - In here!
Okay, Darryl, I'm really sorry, okay? It won't happen again. I gotta go. Bye.
- You didn't find the genie? - We did, but then we lost him.
Where's Prue?
Upstairs, reminding me what a pain she was at 17.
Now you know why she was lucky to make it to 18.
- Why? What do you mean? - Well, you remember better than I do.
It was Prue's rebellious stage.
She thought everything bad was good,
especially the guy she thought she was in love with.
- Until he attacked her. - What?
And Grams went crazy when she found out.
Come to think of it, that guy disappeared not too long after that.
You don't supposed Grams...?
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
I'll get it. You go watch Prue.
Can I help you?
Piper, why the hell is this happening to me?
Prue snuck out of her window. We have to go find her.
Phoebe, that's Dan.
[MODERN ENGLISH'S "I MELT WITH YOU" PLAYS ON RADIO]
[GASPS]
How about a lift?
[PHONE DIALING]
PIPER: She's not answering. - Well, maybe she doesn't know how.
Were there even cell phones ten years ago?
She knows what a ringing phone sounds like, doesn't she?
Maybe I should fly around and see if I could spot her car.
You'll never be able to find it. You have a hard enough time
controlling the power in the daytime, let alone at night.
Why can't I get a premonition when I want to?
If I had one wish right now, that's what it would be.
At least your wish isn't hurting anyone. Look what mine did.
It's not your fault.
How can it not be?
Dan is aging because I wished for him to move on with his life.
He would be fine if it wasn't for me.
It's not fair, he doesn't deserve this.
It's bad enough the wishes are biting us in the ass, but not him.
This shouldn't be happening to him.
We have to find the genie. It's the only way to save Dan.
And Prue.
So, what, you don't have a name?
DRAGON: Well, I go by a lot of names.
Depends where I am.
So why are my sisters scared of you?
Why did you come to our house tonight?
Because they have something that I want.
Something that's mine.
Are you scared of me?
No.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Okay.
God, it's ringing again. How do you turn it off?
PRUE: Hey, easy.
Okay. Hey, hey, easy.
Easy!
Are you scared of me now?
[PRUE SCREAMING]
It won't be too long before she calls her sisters to come and rescue her.
It's the perfect trap.
You didn't hurt her, did you?
Because I thought I heard screams.
You've spent too much time with humans already.
Developing a conscience.
You want your freedom, you do exactly as I say.
- You understand? - Absolutely.
[DAN BREATHING RASPINGLY]
Dan, I'm so sorry.
I don't understand.
This is gonna be hard for me to explain,
and even harder for you to believe.
We're witches.
Prue, Phoebe and myself.
And not your everyday kind of witches.
We have supernatural powers that we use to fight off...
...demons and warlocks.
You know, all the family emergencies that I used to have.
I never told you before because I didn't want you to be hurt because of it.
I didn't want something like this to happen to you.
And I'm the same Leo Wyatt that died in 1942.
I'm a whitelighter, a guardian angel for witches.
Yeah, right.
Piper!
I just had a premonition. I have no idea what it means.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hello? PRUE: Oh, my God. Piper.
Thank God. You have to help me.
- Prue? - Where is she?
Piper, he's trying to kill me. Dragon.
He's trying to kill me, and I don't think he's human.
Okay, calm down.
- Where is he now? - 1 don't know.
I think he's following me. You have to come quick!
Okay. Prue, where are you?
Golden Gate Park.
Okay, listen to me.
Go to the lake where Dad used to take us fishing, remember?
And hide under the bridge until we get there, okay?
I think he's coming!
Prue? Prue!
- What? - Dragon's after her.
Well, it's a trap. You know it's a trap.
Doesn't matter, Leo. We have to go anyway.
LEO: Well, at least go with a plan.
Try using your new power, fly overhead,
- and spot him before he spots you. - All right.
- Stay with Dan, we'll be back. - You better be.
PIPER: We gotta hurry, it's gonna be light soon.
Okay, you think you can control the power this time?
I'll have to, I have no choice.
Right, I spot the Dragon, you freeze him.
Then we find Prue and get the hell out of here.
All right, go. Fly.
Piper! Piper! Piper!
- Prue? PRUE: Piper!
PIPER: No! Prue. PRUE: Piper!
PIPER: Go back!
- Go! Go! - Piper!
What are you doing? Let go of me!
- I'm sorry. - Let go!
[PRUE SCREAMING]
Let go of her, damn it!
No, I can't.
- Piper! - No!
Come on, keep coming.
- Come and save your little sister. - No!
No. No. No!
- No! - Prue.
Prue!
Time to get my power back.
[PIPER CRYING]
PIPER: Let go!
Prue!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! What do we do? What do we do?
Leo can heal her. I know he can. We just need to get her home.
Go get the car, Phoebe. Go get the car!
Oh, my God!
Oh, God, what have I done?
Leo! Leo!
- What happened? - Never mind, just heal her. Come on.
What's the matter? Why isn't it working?
Leo?
I can't heal the dead.
Yes, you can.
[BOTH SOBBING]
What the hell is he doing here?
Wait, wait, just hear him out. He may have an idea.
Listen, I'm so sorry.
All I ever wanted was my freedom, that's it.
That's all that I was thinking about. Look...
- ...I'm just a genie. - Get to the point!
He's willing to give up his freedom.
Go back in the bottle and reverse the wishes.
I'll return everything to the way it was.
- Even Prue? - It should.
I mean, teenage Prue is the one that got killed, not adult Prue.
How do we know this isn't just another trick?
Well, if it gets Prue back,
you'd have the power of three to vanquish the Dragon.
What do you got to lose?
After you.
Try to fly.
Prue.
It worked, Dan's...
No, it didn't.
All it did was turn her back into her adult self.
- It didn't save her. - Wait.
The genie is back in the bottle, so if we can get him out,
then we have three more wishes, right?
All we need is one.
DAN: Piper? - Dan, get down!
- Did you see where the bottle went? - No, I have no id-- Wait, yeah.
In my premonition.
- You distract him. - Right.
Too bad you don't have my power anymore!
Hey Dragon-breath, over here.
I wish Prue were alive.
Piper, go check on Prue.
- Where the hell did you come from? - No, no, that's where you came from.
[CHANTING] The power of three will set us free
The power of three will set us free.
[DRAGON SCREAMING]
Hi.
Look, Piper, I really don't feel like talking right now.
Wait, wait. We're gonna have to talk some time.
No. We don't.
I don't know how you expected me to react to your secret, but I don't...
I'm really sorry you told me.
I wish you never did. I wish I never saw what I saw.
I never imagined things like that even...
...existed.
- Dan... - Please, just go away.
I don't want to know any more.
And I don't want to know any more about you.
They call themselves the Council and they're scary dudes,
very high up on the evil food chain.
It's only gonna be a matter of time
before they send somebody looking for you.
Means we're doing something right if we're getting their attention.
Plus it means that there's some method to this Wiccan madness,
some greater purpose.
It's nice to finally know.
Be careful what you wish for.
Oh, I am a reformed wishaholic, believe me.
I'm in no hurry to get any new powers.
Besides, the power you already have is the one that saved the day anyway.
PHOEBE: I know and I love it.
I do. I just have to work on controlling it better.
Yeah, and I'm gonna concentrate on finding Mr. Right,
not settling for Dick.
Well, speaking of wishes, you still got two left, you know.
Yes, we know, and we already know what one of them is.
If you're up for it, that is.
We want to make you mortal.
Keep you off of the Council's radar, once and for all.
True freedom. And not just from the bottle.
Although, mortality is the consequence.
And feelings too.
Even the painful ones.
That's okay. I think I'm ready. Feeling pretty sensitive these days.
Let me ask you something. Why would you do that for me?
I mean, especially after I helped kill you.
Yeah, well, you also helped bring me back.
And besides, once you're human,
we don't have to worry about you tricking us again.
But there's one wish you have to grant first.
One that I need.
I want Dan to have peace of mind,
to forget about all the horrible things that happened the past couple of days,
about who we all really are.
I wish that Dan could truly move on with his life,
without consequences.
Your wish is my command.

No tricks. I promise.
Got no powers.

Interesting couple of years.

They're calling me, I gotta go.
Not so fast.
If we're ever gonna make this work,

I'd like to meet them.

Positive. Take me to your leader.

What are you--? What--?
Don't worry, I'll be back.
Worry? I'm not worried.
I mean, of course she'll be back, right?
Of course. I mean, why would we worry?
