| Summary: Piper contracts a rare blood disease and quickly falls into a coma. Leo is not allowed to help, so her sisters perform an awakening spell to bring her back. Unfortunately, the consequence of the spell is the spreading of the disease to others. The sisters now face a decision: let countless innocents die or reverse the spell and lose their sister. |

| Piper: Wait, you enrolled? Phoebe, this is huge. Phoebe: Hugest thing I�ve done since I came back home. I mean, aside from vanquishing demons and saving the world from evil of course. Phoebe: Wait, you smuggled it in? Piper: Oh, it�s fruit, Phoebe, not drugs. Piper: So what�s wrong with me? Prue: Um, they don�t really know. We�re just sort of waiting for blood test results. Piper: I�m sure it�s nothing too exciting. It�s probably something trendy like mono or Epstein Barr. Prue: I know, it�s just that after everything I�ve seen in my life and believe me I�ve seen a lot of weird stuff. It takes a lot to scare me. But this time I�m really scared. Phoebe: Prue, if good witches could really vanquish diseases, do you think there�d be one sick person in the world? Phoebe: Screw the consequences. Dr. Williamson: Draw some blood. I wanna run comparatives. Nurse: Yes, Doctor. Piper: Um, then can I go home? Because no offense, but I hate hospitals. Piper: Strange, though. With all the demons we�ve faced, this bug, this thing was the scariest of them all. Jack: Prue, if someone wants to believe in something that may not be altogether true but it�s true enough for them, then what�s the harm in letting it be? Jack: Prue, the world is made up of almost perfect. It�s nothing but near misses and necessary compromises. In this case, I think we got a little bit of both. That�s okay, I know how you feel. I�m just asking you not to look so close. Nothing bears up under that kind of scrutiny. Phoebe: This is ridiculous. Why won�t they tell us anything? Piper: They�re lucky they�re in the other room, I�d freeze their butts. Phoebe: Well, his bedside manner sure could use a little work. Prue: Piper, um, we already talked to Leo, he�s not allowed to help. Phoebe: They won�t let him. Piper: Oh. Great. Well thanks for doing something I specifically asked you not to do. Leo: Hurry, take my hands. We don�t have much time. Piper: Am I dead? Leo: No, not yet. Not if you take my hands. Prue: Jack, it's not about the painting or Buckland's new philosophy. I've been thinking about this for a while. A lot has happened to me in the past year and a half. I've seen, I've seen things I never imagined existed and it's changed me. It's made me wanna make changes. Leo: You don't have to say anything. You didn't do anything, I did. I guess in the back I always hoped someday, somehow you and I would get a second chance. Piper: I'm with Dan now. Leo: I know. But I also know now that I'm a mortal, I'm gonna fight for you. May the best man win. |
