Halliwell Manor has been empty for several years. The layer of dust that has accumulated on the furniture is unpleasantly thick. There are cobwebs in every corner, waiting to spring themselves on an unsuspecting visitor. The rooms smell musty, like a waterlogged library. Though the garden shows signs of maintenance, the interior is oppressively lifeless. Without people to fill it, the house has become a shadow of its former self. Underneath all of that, the place is the same as the sisters remember. Halliwell Manor looks like home.

"I'm never fully confident about that. It keeps life interesting."
He reads the spell.
"Guiding spirits, I ask your charity. Lend me your focus and clarity. Lead me to the one I cannot find, restore that and my peace of mind."
The book glows, and he orbs...
...across the room, to Theo.
"...close enough. The Elders won't whine to you guys about us, anyway. Good enough for me."

"Please don't. Their success rate can't be 100% and failure would make Felicia sad."
"I'm not going to get your boyfriend killed. What kind of Whitelighter would that make me?"

"They're not stupid enough to burn bridges until they know exactly how far gone I am. If they realize I'm going to oppose almost everything they do, they might."

"Depends on the demon. I don't think there's anything you could have offered to convince me."

"I have- what you could call employers. They expect reports whenever I go back. They'll notice immediately, and they might not make it obvious if they think they can use me against you. I have some friends who would notice, and I can't be sure if I could turn them."

Theo lists them.
Ravo, the Grimlock, who enjoys killing good witches a bit too much to stop, but he might be convinced not to turn on Theo if he doesn't interfere with his hobby.
Bartok, the Noxon demon, is brave but stupid, and his temper is famous even among Noxon. He would turn to Good for love, but he'll turn Theo in otherwise.
Dawad, the Executioner demon, hunts anyone his masters tell him to. As long as he has someone to kill (or "vanquish"), he'll play nice. They could use him.
"There are other demons, but they won't notice anything my masters don't."
