Make them see what cannot be:
Flames that leap to make them flee.
The armored van's dashboard erupts, and the panicked guards abandon the cab. Unfortunately, the spell didn't work quite as it should have, and sleeve of the driver's jacket is on fire. Instead of, oh, say, racing to his side to smother the flames with a blanket from the police cruiser, Phoebe chats with Mr. Rick for about three hours regarding the unpredictability of hastily-composed spells as the guard screams and howls in agony on the street not five feet from where she's standing. Mr. Rick finally hustles past the driver to deal with the other guard while Phoebe retrieves a policeman's coat from the squad car, with which she beats out the driver's flaming arm. Mr. Rick knocks the crap out of the other guard with the butt of the shotgun, then makes to blow his brains out all over the asphalt, but Phoebe tackles him to the ground. They tussle for a bit until Mr. Rick points the shotgun in her face, threatening to kill her. Promises, promises, you bastard. Instead, Mr. Rick hops up into the van to retrieve the cash. Phoebe, thinking as quickly as her puny brain allows, ad-libs the following:

His deepest worries come to bear.
The high whine of police sirens immediately hits the soundtrack. Mr. Rick freaks and hustles Phoebe back to the purloined squad car as the shot dissolves over to the Manor's façade. Up in The Prue Halliwell Memorial Bimbo Boudoir Of Paisley Tit Slings And Other Fashion Atrocities, currently occupied by The Doltine Psycho, and if that's so, where the hell is Raige sleeping, but forget I asked, because this show is ass, so whatever, Piper gazes at the slumbering Psycho and sighs, "I wish I was asleep." Daddy Dearest counsels some shut-eye for his middle child, but Piper insists that she'll remain awake "until Phoebe's back, and Chris's demons are vanquished, and I accept the fact that apparently I die young." Such a martyr. And so passive-aggressive about it, too! Victor remains silent, leading Piper to realize, "You know, don't you? When it happens." Victor reminds her that the future might already have been changed, and adds, "I do know that Chris loves you." "Yeah?" Piper smiles softly. "Yeah," Victor confirms, smiling in kind. They share A Moment that's interrupted by a crashing sound from the floor below. Piper orders Victor to remain by the littlest Psycho's side, as he'll be protected from demonic hijinks by the force field, and heads for the hall. Raige scampers by, instructs Piper to remain where she is, and vanishes towards the stairs.
