GABRIELLA (V.O.)
Previously on Connor...
INT. PIKE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
An unconscious CONNOR is laying in Pike's bed. GABRIELLA is
standing over to him, pressing the bright glowing EYE OF
ANUBIS into Connor's chest.
KAIA (V.O.)
Connor's body is rejecting his
soul.
EXT. G&C'S CONDO - PATIO - NIGHT
Connor SCREAMS and doubles over in pain. He gets up to his
knees and throws his arms out as a SECOND CONNOR, this one a
pale, transparent blue rips away from him.
GABRIELLA (V.O.)
And if we want to save him-
FADE TO a few moments later. Connor is laying face first on
the ground. His blue alter ego ripples and fades away.
GABRIELLA (V.O.)
-we have to remove it.
INT. GABRIELLA'S BATHROOM - NEXT
Kaia is sitting slumped over on the toilet, holding up a
pregnancy test. Gabriella's standing in the doorway.
KAIA
(downtrodden)
Pink.
JUMP CUT TO a few seconds later.
KAIA
What am I gonna do? I can't deal
with a baby right now.
GABRIELLA
Well, you can start by telling
Pike.
INT. LARGE ESTATE - FOYER - NEXT
CLOSE UP ON Gabriella, as she screams to no avail.
BACK OUT, as the future version of PATRICK MYERS pushes his
hands into her back, and a SIZZLING sound is heard.
GABRIELLA (V.O.)
The Mark of Saa.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - GABRIELLA'S ROOM
Gabriella, with her back to Connor, lifts her shirt up,
exposing her back and the plainly visible MARK OF SAA.
GABRIELLA (V.O.)
It's a legendary binding spell.
Supposedly unbreakable.
INT. GYM - SWIMMING POOL AREA - RESUME
A large werewolf LUNGES at Connor, but quickly changes
direction and BACKHANDS Pike across the chest, sending him
flying into the pool.
KAIA (V.O.)
You know that werewolf that
attacked Connor?
EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT
Kaia kneels down and tugs Hunter's pants a couple of inches
down his waist, revealing a small BIRTHMARK on his hip bone.
KAIA
(shocked)
Colby?
EXT. PARK - DAY
Gabriella and Kaia are sitting on a bench.
GABRIELLA
(disbelieving)
You're telling me that your brother
came back from the future and tried
to kill Connor?
EXT. SINCAID FAMILY HOME - NEXT
Pike jumps straight back, sailing over the porch banister
while firing both guns and hitting WOLF KAIA in her stomach
multiple times!
INT. HOSPITAL - KAIA'S ROOM
CLOSE UP ON Kaia turned on her side with blankets drawn tight
over her. Pike's standing behind her with a look of shame.
KAIA
(tears welling up)
You killed our babies, Oli.
INT. PALACE - FOYER
FUTURE CONNOR turns and shoots FUTURE PIKE through the chest!
GABRIELLA (V.O.)
It's Connor. He's not supposed to
be...
FLASH CUT TO Future Connor grabbing Kaia's right arm with his
free hand and RIPS it clean off her body! Kaia screams at the
top of her lungs.
PIKE (V.O.)
What? Evil?
JUMP CUT TO Gabriella shooting Future Connor with the same
gun he shot Pike with. He drops to his knees, dying.
CONNOR
(icily)
I hate y...y-
Connor falls face first to the ground.
EXT. G&C'S CONDO - PATIO - NEXT
Gabriella and Pike are sitting in chairs facing one another.
Gabriella is idly stroking LESI's head.
GABRIELLA
If I can't stop it, then I'll have
to stop him.
EXT. CITY STREET - TUNNEL - DAY
A powerful, blinding BURST OF LIGHT explodes out of a
screaming BRIDGET REILLY, blowing away everything in sight.
COLLEEN (V.O.)
We were hired by Wolfram and Hart
as part of a special program that
started a few years ago.
LAURENCE (V.O.)
Project Prodigy. We're basically
brought in to act as parents to any
special children that Wolfram and
Hart want under their control.
PUSH IN on a dumbfounded Connor looking on from his car, with
LAURENCE and COLLEEN REILLY in the seats behind him.
CONNOR (V.O.)
Like Bridge?
LAURENCE (V.O.)
And you.
INT. PROFESSOR MARRUS'S HOME - OFFICE - NEXT
Connor has PROFESSOR MICHELLE MARRUS pressed up against a
wall by her throat.
CONNOR
What about Project Prodigy?
PROF. MARRUS
(strained)
I... created it!
EXT. PROFESSOR MARRUS'S HOME - BACKYARD - NIGHT
Prof. Marrus yanks a red hot poker out of her fire pit and
STABS EVE in the heart with it! Eve gasps and stumbles back,
eventually falling to her back.
CONNOR (V.O.)
(furious)
You work for Wolfram and Hart?
EXT. FIELD - DAY
Bridget kicks a soccer ball past a diving Connor into a net.
As she jumps up and down in celebration.
PROF. MARRUS (V.O.)
Subject Bridget has been implanted
with a neurological trigger as
planned.
INT. MEDICAL LAB - COMPUTER LAB - NEXT
Prof. Marrus sits at a computer speaking into a tape
recorder.
PROF. MARRUS
When activated, subject's powers
will manifest beyond subject's
control.
INT. CABIN - ENTRANCE
Connor is mounted over a prone Eric Marrus. He pulls Eric's
head up and SNAPS his neck! His voice echoes and elongates
when he screams:
CONNOR
Die!
PROF. MARRUS (V.O.)
The desired result has been
attained.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM
A furious Gabriella faces off with a downtrodden, blood
soaked Connor.
GABRIELLA
You murdered him!
JUMP CUT TO Connor's eyes FLASHING.
Gabriella is knocked into the air from an energy blast from
Connor. She crashes through the coffee table.
PROF. MARRUS (V.O.)
He's killed.
She throws her arms out and CLAPS her hands together. The air
in front of her PULSES out, smacking Connor in the chest and
knocking him through the patio door.
PROF. MARRUS (V.O.)
He's alone.
INT. PROFESSOR MARRUS'S HOME - GUEST BEDROOM
Prof. Marrus flicks the light switch and holds the door open
for Connor to walk in.
PROF. MARRUS (V.O.)
He's ours.
FADE TO Connor in bed curled up in a ball, the blankets
pulled tight around him. The lights are off now.
FADE TO BLACK.
TEASER
FADE IN.
INT. HOSPITAL - PSYCHIATRIC WARD - NIGHT
ON a set of closed doubled doors. There a BUZZ off screen and
the door opens. A burly ORDERLY dressed in scrubs lets CONNOR
enter ahead of him. They start walking down the hall.
CONNOR
(to the orderly)
Has he been here long?
ORDERLY
Never even got to county lock up.
He went into this weird pseudo-coma
while he was in a holding cell. I
dunno. Docs can tell you more than
I can.
The orderly stops in front of one door and swipes a mag card
through it. A green light blinks and he opens the door, which
swings towards the frame, blocking the contents from view.
Connor peers in and frowns.
ORDERLY
You know you're his first visitor?
CONNOR
Really? What about his parents? The
rest of his family?
ORDERLY
His folks were here when he checked
in, but they wouldn't be in the
same room with him. And you're the
only person that's asked to see him
since then.
CONNOR
Does he ever... talk?
ORDERLY
(grim)
Just occasional "I'm sorry." 'Sides
that, he just stares out the window
all day. Don't stay too long.
Connor nods and the orderly walks away. Connor steps into:
INT. HOSPITAL - UNKNOWN PATIENT'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
There's a chair with a tall back facing away from us. The top
of a head of black hair is barely visible over the top.
Connor walks around to the side and sits on a foot stool next
to the chair.
ARC AROUND to see he's sitting next to TYLER DUGGAN, the
Angelus copycat from episode 2x01.
He looks almost catatonic. His skin is pale and he's
noticeably much thinner than we last saw him. His eyes stare
out the window into a serene looking garden, never blinking.
Connor opens his mouth to say something, but no words come
out. He briefly bows his head before looking up again.
He tries to talk again with no success. He takes a deep
breath and sighs.
CONNOR
I don't know why I came here,
Tyler. I guess I...
(beat; shakes his head)
I told you that you didn't know
what it felt like to take a life.
(beat)
And I guess I didn't either.
TYLER
(stoically)
I'm sorry.
Connor nervously rubs his legs, struggling to find the words.
CONNOR
I pushed you to killing-
(pauses; thinks)
- whatever her name was and hadn't
thought about it until now. Now
that I've killed someone too.
(beat)
I thought it was right.
(gulps)
Part of me still does, but what's
scarier is even now, knowing Bridge
is alive, it still feels... good.
(beat; shaky)
I don't know what that means.
Tyler doesn't look like he realizes Connor's there. He just
continues looking out the window as if he were alone in the
room.
TYLER
I'm... sorry.
CONNOR
I told you it takes a real monster
to kill. That you never come back
from that.
Connor stands up.
CONNOR
I've never wanted to be more wrong.
Tyler slowly turns his head and looks up, directly in
Connor's eyes, though it seems he's looking through Connor
rather than at him.
Connor slightly flinches in shock.
TYLER
(solemn)
I'm sorry.
CONNOR
(low)
So am I.
Connor turns and pats Tyler on his shoulder as he leaves.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM - MORNING
GABRIELLA walks out of her room, wrapped up in a bathrobe and
drying her soaking wet hair with a towel.
GABRIELLA
(calling out)
Lesi!
LESI comes bounding out of the kitchen, stopping just at the
entry to it. She excitedly wags her tail and dashes back into
the kitchen.
Gabriella frowns.
GABRIELLA
(crossing the room)
What're you so excited about?
She walks past the makeshift patio door composed of a thick
sheet of plastic taped to a wooden frame and into:
INT. G&C'S CONDO - KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS
ON the entryway as Gabriella takes about one step into it
before she FREEZES and her jaw drops.
CLOSE UP on Lesi having her head scratched by a pair of
slender delicate hands.
TILT UP to reveal ALESSIA SAKARA, Gabriella's (dead) cousin
from Connor I, grinning back at Gabriella.
ALESSIA
I don't know why you're so
suprised.
Alessia stands up. For someone who had her throat slit by
Drusilla two years ago, she's looking pretty damn good.
ALESSIA
I always had a way with animals,
remember?
Gabriella blinks. Then she blinks again.
GABRIELLA
A... Alessia?
Alessia walks over to the stove with a flabbergasted
Gabriella watching her every move. Alessia picks up a skillet
and bends it down to show Gabriella the perfectly folder
omelette inside it.
ALESSIA
Breakfast? I hope you still like
your spinach and cheese.
Gabriella blinks. Again.
GABRIELLA
(shrugs)
Huh?
BLACK OUT.
END OF TEASER
ACT ONE
FADE IN.
INT. G&C'S CONDO - KITCHEN - MORNING
Alessia whistles to herself as the toaster pops up two
freshly toasted pieces of bread.
Gabriella is still watching her cousin in awe as she
nonchalantly continues preparing the meal. She reaches out
and pats the wall next to her, finding and picking up a
cordless phone from its mounted base.
She dials a number, still keeping her eyes squarely on
Alessia.
Alessia sets two plates at the table and spatulas the
omelette she was making onto the plate closest to Gabriella.
GABRIELLA
(into phone)
Hey, Kaia? I, uh-
(laughs softly)
- think I'm going
insane. Can you get Alicia to close
for me tonight?
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. KAIA'S CAR - SAME TIME
Kaia's driving with her phone pressed to her ear. She rolls
her eyes.
KAIA
Okay, Gab? This might be
insensitive of me, but it's been a
a few days since the blow up with
Connor. "I'm not feeling well"
isn't cutting it anymore.
Alessia's pouring two glasses of orange juice now.
Gabriella's still watching her closely as she has her
conversation.
GABRIELLA
It's not an excuse! I legitimately
think sometime between when I went
to bed last night and now, I lost
my damn mind. I'll explain later.
Kaia sighs.
KAIA
Okay, fine. Classes are over for
the semester anyway. Need to keep
her ass occupied. Get some rest.
Kaia hangs up and we END INTERCUT staying with her.
KAIA
(mumbling; bitter)
It's fine. It's cool. I only got
almost got killed not too long ago
and I'm back up and about.
(scoffs)
Wuss.
She yanks her steering wheel. Another car's horn BLARES in
the background. Kaia looks out her window and flips a bird.
KAIA
Screw you too!
END INTERCUT
Gabriella knocks the phone against the wall until she finds
the base, her eyes never leaving Alessia, who is sitting in
front of a plate of toast and scrambled eggs.
ALESSIA
You wanna say grace or should I?
An exasperated Gabriella throws up a "time-out" signal.
GABRIELLA
Okay, I'm officially past
dumbfounded now. Who are you?
Really?
ALESSIA
You know it's me. Now sit down and
eat. You look a little thin. Have
you eating well lately?
Alessia takes a spoonful of eggs into her mouth.
GABRIELLA
Alessia!
(beat)
No, you're not-
Alessia cuts her off by dropping her fork and letting it
clang off the plate. She swallows the food in her mouth.
ALESSIA
I don't have much time here, Gab.
I'm assuming that whole time you
were staring at me, you were
checking my aura, right?
Gabriella doesn't answer, but like Connor earlier, she opens
her mouth and tries to.
ALESSIA
(nods)
Thought so. I don't know how long I
get to stay. They didn't specify.
GABRIELLA
They?
Gabriella finally sits down across the table from Alessia.
GABRIELLA
They who?
Alessia snickers to herself.
GABRIELLA
(irritated)
What?
ALESSIA
They said to only use pronouns at
first to get under your skin.
Something about you getting annoyed
by the "it" thing? That make any
sense to you?
Realization dawns on Gabriella's face.
GABRIELLA
The Powers sent you?
ALESSIA
(nods)
Mm hmm. Only on the condition that
they let me cook you breakfast
before we got to serious stuff.
GABRIELLA
What serious stuff?
Alessia picks up her fork and wags it like a disapproving
parent.
ALESSIA
Nuh uh. Food first, stuff later.
Gabriella looks down at the omelette. Sighing, she picks up
her fork and breaks off a piece.
Alessia smirks and takes a bite of her toast.
INT. COUNTY JAIL - VISITING ROOM
PIKE, in an orange prison suit, is lead into the room by an
armed prison guard. His eyes show the same sense of defeat
he's been carrying since he was arrested. His wrists shackled
together.
The guard lead him around a metal table in the center of the
room with a curved handrail on one side of it. Pike takes a
seat as the guard unlock the shackle from his left wrist and
locks it around the handrail, bounding him to the table.
PIKE
(looking up)
So who's here to see me?
GUARD
(not looking at Pike)
Your lawyer.
PIKE
(sneers)
I didn't hire a lawyer.
GUARD
(cold)
Public defender.
Without another word, the guard exits, loudly slamming the
door behind him.
Pike sighs and buries his face in his hands. We stay on him
as the door opens and shuts again, out of frame.
MAN (O.S.)
Attorney-client please.
Pike ever so slowly looks up from his hands, not bothering to
pick his jaw from the floor.
ON a small black camera in the upper right corner of the wall
opposite Pike. A small red light turns off.
TILT DOWN as a scraggly, unshaven man about Pike's age,
dressed in a suit way too good for him, turns away from the
camera to look at Pike with a wry grin.
Pike looks positively stunned, his mouth and eyes randomly
opening and closing.
PIKE
B... Benny?
BENNY, the namesake of Pike's preferred gun, winks at Pike.
BENNY
Orange ain't your color, bro.
PIKE
(squints; shocked)
Wh... what?
BENNY
(scoffs)
All the crap you've seen since high
school and this gives you a stroke?
Benny calmly sits down and swings a leather briefcase up on
the table.
BENNY
(giggling)
So wow, dude, it's been years. I
guess since-
In a flash, Pike grabs Benny by the collar with his free hand
and YANKS him over the table so they're face to face.
PIKE
(through clenched teeth)
Since I staked you on prom night?
Benny, not dropping that smug expression, simply laughs.
BENNY
(grinning)
Come on, bro. I look like a vamp to
you?
He EXHALES deeply, blowing a breath of hot air into Pike's
face. Pike frowns, then looks off to the side, getting it. He
releases Benny, who slides back into his chair.
PIKE
You're... not a vampire.
(beat)
You're alive?
BENNY
Oh hell no, bro, I'm still dead.
This is something of a reprieve.
Pike leans back in his chair, now more curious than anything.
PIKE
What're you talking about?
Benny opens his briefcase and starts to remove a few file
folders. He speaks casually as he works.
BENNY
Got a chance to visit an old friend
and drop some knowledge. They
wanted to ask your Pops, but I
convinced them I'd get more than
two words in before-
PIKE
(holding his hand up)
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up.
BENNY
Back up? Pike, I haven't even
started yet.
EXT. GABRIELLA'S SHOP - MORNING
Kaia is leaning against her car, holding her phone to her ear
and looking quite agitated.
KAIA
No, Alicia, I can't work the whole
day. I need you here by 2 o'clock.
(beat)
Well, gosh I'm sorry, but I have to
go to the police station again to
go over my statement since somebody
went behind my back and turned Oli
in to the cops.
She starts walking towards the store while continuing her
conversation.
KAIA
Sitting on my ass? Excuse the hell
out of me for wanting to recover
from miscarriages and near fatal
gunshot wounds first!
She flips through the mass of keys on her keychain, getting
to the one that opens the door to the shop.
KAIA
(frowns)
Hey, who's the damn Alpha here? I'm
not asking you anything. Be here at
two on the dot.
She slams her phone shut and opens the door, letting herself
into:
INT. GABRIELLA'S SHOP - MAIN SALES FLOOR - CONTINUOUS
Kaia punches a code into the beeping alarm box to deactivate
it and flips on the light switch.
She turns and GASPS when she sees a redhead teenage girl
sitting on the counter and swinging her legs back and forth.
Kaia doesn't know who it is, but readers of episode 2x06
would instantly recognize her as TAYLOR SINCAID.
TAYLOR
Right on time. You always were
pretty punctual.
KAIA
(icily)
You have three seconds to tell me
who you are or you'll replace for
that cereal I skipped this morning.
CASEY SINCAID walks out from the back room and leans forward
on the counter. Kaia looks even more on edge now.
CASEY
Christ, Mom. You've used that
threat all this time? I figured you
were cool at some point.
KAIA
(blinks)
Mom?
(beat)
Okay...
Kaia's eyes flash BLACK and she growls. Very low, yet
incredibly menacing.
PEYTON SINCAID steps out from the aisles to the right of the
counter. Kaia's face jerks between all three of the girls.
PEYTON
(snickering)
You're sizing us up, aren't you?
Kaia's eyes go back to her normal color just before she
SNIFFS the air. The anger (and color) drains from her face.
KAIA
You smell like... who are you?
TAYLOR
Think of us as what could have
been? Or... what would've been
until what? A month ago now?
Kaia's eyes flick between the three girls again.
KAIA
(disbelieving)
No.
Taylor slides off the counter and throws her hands up.
TAYLOR
You picked up the clan pheromones.
We know exactly when you lost us.
And our timing might be off, but
Gabriella already jumped through
time, right?
Kaia is silently stammering, just like Pike did earlier.
PEYTON
And if all the crazy stories you
told us about are true, and by the
way I still don't believe the whole
chair hopping in mid air thing,
then you've seen stranger things.
Kaia steps down from the landing in front of the doorway and
takes a seat on it.
KAIA
How?
CASEY
Well, the only thing that sucks
more than dying is getting your
whole timeline erased so you were
never born in the first place.
PEYTON
So we're all chilling, hanging out
waiting for the final judgment,
when oops, stuff changed! You three
technically don't exist anymore. So
you get to hang out in limbo for
the rest of eternity.
(pumps her fist)
Awesome!
TAYLOR
So when they asked if we wanted a
missionary job, who are we to say
no? Beats playing Rock, Paper,
Scissors.
Kaia's reeling from all this, if her shaky, uncomfortable
body language is anything to go by.
KAIA
So... I actually had you three?
CASEY
Yeah, but Mom, we're on borrowed
time here and need to get past
this.
Kaia runs her hands through her hair, then cups them together
over her mouth. Information overload.
KAIA
Okay, let's say I believe you. You
said the timeline changed.
Obviously, because you're all...
She stops herself, not wanting to say it.
CASEY
(waves her on)
Dead. It's okay, you can say it.
KAIA
(beat; to herself)
Dead.
(out loud)
This missionary job, it's from the
Powers that Be, right?
All three of Kaia's (woulda-coulda-shoulda been) daughters
nod.
KAIA
But what do they care about me?
(beat; blinks)
This is about Connor, isn't it?
PEYTON
Always knew it wasn't Daddy we got
the intelligence from.
Kaia stands up and crosses her arms, looking between her
"daughters" with noticeably less skepticism.
KAIA
Okay... girls.
(squints)
So... what are your names?
