[Scene: Manor. Paige's room. Paige is there lying on her bed, talking on the phone.]

Paige: Hey, it's so good to talk to you. I was getting worried about you. You've been gone for far too long, Glen.

Glen: Yeah, I'm sorry, I-I should've called and let you know that I was alright. I guess I, uh, ended up staying a little longer than I thought.

Paige: That's okay, you'll just have to take me to dinner tomorrow night to make it up to me.

Glen: Dinner... I-I can't tomorrow night, Paige, I got plans.

Paige: Oh.

Glen: I still wanna meet you though, I mean, I really wanna see you.

(Paige flips through a photo album with pictures of her and Glen inside.)

Paige: Good, 'cause, um, there's actually something I really want to talk to you about.

Glen: Really? Sounds mysterious. That's actually great because there's something that I really wanna talk to you about too.

Paige: Great. Then it's a date. (The room creeks and Paige ignores it.) Uh, so I'll see you at 11:00.

Glen: 11:00 is good, 11:00 is great. (The phone cradle starts to slide across the side table by itself.) Usual place at the lake?

Paige: (to the moving phone) Damn it, no!

Glen: Or we can meet wherever.

(The phone floats into the air.)

Paige: Stop it I said.

Glen: Stop what?

Paige: Uh, nothing, I'll just, um, yeah, see you tomorrow, it'll be great.

(Paige pulls the phone out of the wall and sighs.)

[Cut to Pandora's bedroom. Leo is asleep in bed. Pandora is in the nursery mumbling to herself. Leo reaches over to Pandora's side of the bed and wakes when he feels she's not there.]

Pandora: I am so sick of this.

Leo: Pandora?

Pandora: Hm?

Leo: What are you doing?

(Leo sits up. Pandora walks out of the nursery carrying a packet of diapers.)

Pandora: I'm putting the diapers back where they belong, that is what I'm doing.

(She puts the diapers on a shelf.)

Leo: But it's 2:00 in the morning.

Pandora: Yeah, well, apparently our little ghosts and goblins are not sleeping, so how can I? I wish they would just attack us rather than move stuff around.

(She goes back in the nursery and picks up a pile of diapers from under the crib. She takes them into the bedroom and places them on the shelf.)

Leo: I told you, they're not ghosts, they're-they're pests. Residual energy left over from all the demons you vanquished here. Besides, the Elders said they would dissipate over time.

Pandora: Yeah, okay, well, they're not dissipating. It's getting worse. They're, like, organising and they're making it impossible for me to keep the baby things in order.

Leo: I know, but it's 2:00 in the morning.

(Cackling and groans heard. Pandora looks at the shelf and the diapers are missing. She goes into the nursery and the diapers have shown up under the crib.)

Pandora: Ohh, I'm telling you, Leo, they are trying to drive me crazy. (They hear a cow bell clang and Phoebe chanting in a very loud voice.) What was that?
