Leo had borrowed Phoebe's car and had driven to P3 where, as Phoebe had anticipated, Piper was. Piper had immediately thrown herself into work. She was going through files that needed to be sorted hoping that menial work would distract her from the ever-looming situation occurring at home. Leo made his way down the steps into the bar area where Piper had strewn piles and piles of papers across the bar top.

"Not now, Leo," Piper said knowing full well that he had made his way inside.

"Then when, Piper?" Leo asked. "Your sisters need you now more than ever, all three of them." Piper turned away from Leo shuffling a pile of papers behind her. "I know you feel guilty for what happened to Prue but you know full well it wasn't your fault."

Piper remained silent and decided to head to the back room. Leo followed her determined to get some sort of reaction out of her. "Prue is meeting her nephews for the first time right now and you aren't there to see that. Now that's not the Piper I know."

Piper turned around and blasted the row of stools directly behind Leo. "ENOUGH!" Piper shouted. She then saw the destroyed stools behind Leo and buckled backwards. "That wasn't supposed to happen." Leo went to grab Piper before she fell over.

"Something is wrong with your powers," Leo said. "Your emotions are getting the better of you but so are your powers. That was a powerful blast, more than usual."

"I don't feel so good," Piper said.

"Paige!" Leo shouted. There was no reply. "Alright, come on Piper," he said. Leo then picked up a very fatigued Piper and took her to Phoebe's car. "Something's not right," he said more to himself than to Piper.

Elsewhere Paige was having a rather difficult time controlling her orbing. After her encounter with Cole she had tried to orb back to the Halliwell manor but instead wound up in a river in South Africa. Something was whacky with her orbing abilities. Paige had only just managed to orb back to the manor after a few unintentional pitstops.

Paige walked up the steps to the manor and opened the door. Phoebe was coming down the stairs at that moment. She spotted Paige and immediately put at afghan from the couch over top of her. "Paige, what happened?"

"My orbing is all out of whack," she replied.

"What?" Phoebe said.

Paige nodded as she took a seat on the couch, Phoebe following suit. "I was at Magic School when Cole appeared to me."

"Cole? As in Cole Turner my ex-husband and former Source of All Evil Cole Turner?" Phoebe said. "I thought you vanquished him in that other world?"

"I thought so too," Paige admitted. "Somehow he escaped."

"That's not possible," Phoebe said. "Cole is smart, I'll give him that but to escape eternal damnation?"

"But that's not the weirdest part, it's what he told me," Paige continued. She then looked around. "Where's Prue?"

"Upstairs with Chris and Wyatt, why?" Phoebe asked.

"Well according to Cole, Prue's been on the run from the afterlife," Paige said.

"And you believe him?" Phoebe questioned.

"No, don't be silly," Paige said shaking her head quickly back and forth. "But he did know about what happened when Prue and I touched. Apparently, it's bad news."

"Maybe we should consult with the Elders on this," Phoebe recommended.

"Over my dead body," Piper said from the doorway. Immediately Paige and Phoebe rushed to the door to find Leo bringing Piper in.

"If you aren't careful that might be the case," Leo said. He turned to Paige. "We tried calling for you, where were you?"

"South Africa," Paige replied. Leo and Piper looked confused. "My orbing is on the fritz."

"What happened?" Phoebe then asked. She went to put her hand on Piper and was taken aback. Her eyes closed and she began to have a vision. A few moments passed as Paige, Piper and Leo watched Phoebe carefully recognizing the signs of Phoebe's premonitions.

"What did you see?" Paige asked.

Phoebe looked to her sisters with a look of dismay. "Nothing," Phoebe replied. "I saw nothing. It felt like a normal premonition but it was like someone turning off a television set."

"Okay something is seriously wrong with your powers and I have a feeling it's because of Prue," Leo said.

Piper then left Leo's side and started walking upstairs. "Where are you going?" Phoebe asked.

"To do something that is long overdue," Piper replied. "Don't follow me." Phoebe and Paige made to go after Piper afraid of what she was about to do but Leo stopped them.

"She needs to do this, let her be," Leo said. They reluctantly agreed.

"You better fill Leo in on the Cole situation," Phoebe said. Paige nodded and the three left to the kitchen.
