Powers of the witches rise,
Course unseen across the skies.
Come to us who call you near.
Come to us, and settle here.
The furniture rattles as if the Manor were enduring a mild earthquake. The Ps glance around nervously before The Source blazes into the room behind them. There's a bit of the "whuh?" and the "huh?" before the gals realize that the spell summoned The Source because he now possesses their powers. To affirm this, The Source blows up a corner of the hall with Piper's molecular manipulation. The Ps dash through the lower level to the stairs before The Source conjures up an FBOD that he flings into Piper's shoulder. Piper smashes into the drywall beneath the staircase and slumps limply into the loveseat below. The Source grins as we head into another commercial.
Manor attic. Phoebe and Raige lug a half-dead Piper through the door and tote her over to the center of the room. Piper's face is criss-crossed with crimson welts and gashes. As Phoebe and Raige set Piper down on the carpet, Phoebe begs her to gather her strength just long enough for the urgent task at hand. Raige snits, "We have no powers!" Phoebe claims that that's not a problem. The gals can still "make this plan work" without their powers' help. Phoebe orders Raige to arrange the crystals on the floor. Raige sprints across the attic to retrieve the crystals, but The Source blazes in, blocking her path. "Seems almost anticlimactic after all this time," begins The Source. He then hurls Raige into a discarded mattress against the wall. "Say hello to Prue for me," The Source continues, wiggling the fingers on his right hand by way of goodbye. He conjures his version of the FBOD, but Phoebe levitates through the air to land a boot in his chest. The Source drops to the floor. Raige tosses a couple of crystals over to Phoebe, and the two arrange them in a circle around The Source's body. He rises to his feet, needling Phoebe with, "Your power was always the weakest -- hardly worth taking. Your life, however, is." Raige slams the last crystal into place, igniting the force field. Phoebe and Raige dart over to Piper's side as The Source sneers, "Crystal." The force field is broken as one of the crystals orbs into his hand. The Source prepares another FBOD, this one with Phoebe's name written all over it. The Collow squiggles into the attic to scamper over in front of Phoebe. The FBOD disappears into his back. Interestingly enough, Cole doesn't wink out to allow the pellets to absorb The Source's powers. The Collow flings FBOD after FBOD at The Source as the gals recite the ancestor vanquish from the floor.
