jeno:
Think of what you want your MC to learn in the scene, and/or what new problem he'll have after it's over.

Taurus425:
I'm a rabid note taker so my suggestion is a bullet point outline.

3 POV's; have they been aware of each other going into it, does one personality like one over the other, what are they fighting about, are all of them going to be speaking or is one just observing, is there a narrator/mediator or is it an all out chaos of voices, what do they hope to accomplish at the end of it...

and those are just things I'm curious about :)

Sir Huron Stone:
It's First Person, and its the first time the MC has seen any of them aside from the beast one. He had to conquer his beast part back when he was eleven.

I would say approach it from two sides; form Taurus425's notion of coming to it from before, and from figuring out what you need the outcome to be like so you get what you want to happen next. With luck those two things will meet in the middle for you.

MClark:
You could also consider whether the scene is supposed to be a Scene (mostly conflict) or a Sequel (reflection and decision making). Jim Butcher has (had?) a blog with an essay describing the Scene-Sequel process.
