"There's got to be some connection between all of these attacks," Paige
said, flipping through the Book of Shadows to try to find the demon.
"Definitely," Phoebe confirmed, pacing back and forth in front of Paige and the Book. "I didn't even know that many powerful demons existed at once."
At that moment, Chris appeared. "Have you guys found any more information on the demon?"
Paige closed the book defeatedly. "I don't think it's in here."
"Again?" Phoebe sighed. "I have all but love for that book but lately it's really been letting us down. I guess we'll just have to figure this one out by ourselves again." She headed toward the doorway, followed by Chris.
"Wait."
Phoebe turned around. Paige's face had the look she always had when she was in deep thought and trying to remember things.
"I think I've figured out the connection."
"What connection?" Chris asked a little too quickly.
Paige raised her eyebrows. "Between all the powerful attacks."
"Just tell us already," Phoebe urged impatiently.
"They haven't been in the Book of Shadows."
"That's not true, I'm sure a lot were in the Bo-"
"Oh my God, I think you might be right, Paige!" Phoebe cut Chris off mid-sentence. "Let's go tell Piper."

Leo walked slowly and quietly into the room in which Piper was feeding Wyatt. He just stood there, watching the two of them for a while without speaking. The scene was so peaceful and beautiful. These were the times when he truly appreciated life and everything in it, observing his son and the mother of his son in a safe, ordinary environment, having a mother-son bonding.
Piper paused in feeding Wyatt for a second and sensed someone else in the room, but she didn't have to turn around to know that it was Leo. "You really have to lay off Chris, Leo," Piper said, keeping her eyes on Wyatt.
And of course, Chris ruins the moment even when he wasn't in the room. "I have a gut feeling about this, Piper."
"Leo, if Chris weren't here, we'd still be in the same place that we are right now. Nothing would be different between us. Chris had nothing to do with our breakup."
"If I was still your whitelighter, and Chris hadn't manipulated things so that I would become an elder, then we'd still be together, wouldn't we?"
"Leo."
Leo put his hands on her shoulder and turned her around, looking her straight in the eye. "Answer me honestly. Wouldn't we?"
Piper gently but firmly took Leo's hands off her shoulder. Giving him just as an intense look that he had gave her, she said, "I think you're letting our relationship, or lack thereof, cloud your better judgment."
When Leo couldn't come up with anything to say in return to that, Piper left the room.
"Definitely," Phoebe confirmed, pacing back and forth in front of Paige and the Book. "I didn't even know that many powerful demons existed at once."
At that moment, Chris appeared. "Have you guys found any more information on the demon?"
