"You mean the Elders put Phoebe out of commission so that we could vanquish Cole without worrying about her interfering? That's insane!" Paige slumped into a chair trying to comprehend what had just happened. Piper didn't have to answer because Leo orbed back in with a grim look on his face. "I put her on the bed. She's comfortable at least." He crossed to Piper and put his arm around her shoulder. She buried her face in his chest and tried hard to collect herself. She was the oldest; she had to stay calm. Figure out what to do. He smoothed her hair and she pulled away taking a deep breath. "OK what are we going to do about this?" Paige looked up at them and said "Umm I hate to be unsupportive of the star-crossed lovers and all that, but if Cole is the Source and vanquishing him is the only way to get Phoebe back, then maybe we should vanquish him." Leo got a strange, almost guilty look on his face. Piper turned to him and noticed it. "What? What is it?" He stalled for a moment and ran his hand through his hair. "Well there is another way. An antidote to cure Phoebe. I mean, it doesn't directly help with the problem of what to do about Cole. But at least then you'd have the power of three."

Cole flamed into the bathroom, hoping no one would notice he had been gone. He went into his and Phoebe's room and saw her "sleeping" on their bed. He bent down and kissed her lightly. She was so beautiful. He had never felt he deserved her beauty, her goodness and now . . . well maybe he really didn't. Maybe the Seer was right. He went to the dresser to get out a change of shirt. The one he was wearing reeked of death and the Underworld. His eyes flashed black as he thought of the Seer and he slammed the drawer shut, making the vial of perfume fall to the ground and shatter. He turned to apologize to Phoebe for waking her, but she hadn't stirred. He felt a terrible fear in the pit of his stomach. "Phoebe?" When she didn't respond he sat on the bed and took her by the shoulders, gently shaking her. "Phoebe?" he yelled. And then got up and ran downstairs.

Cole bounded into the kitchen too furious to see straight. "What happened to her? What the hell is wrong with Phoebe?" He demanded angrily. It was all he could do not to let his demonic half out right then and there. Piper stood and crossed to him. "She's fine Cole she's just asleep." Cole stepped back away from her and glared at her. "Like hell she is. I couldn't get her to wake up. Did a demon attack? Why aren't you telling me." Paige stood and stared at him, "Maybe because you aren't exactly yourself right now." Leo and Piper turned to her in shock and Cole looked at her suspiciously. 'Do they know?' He asked himself, but it wasn't possible. He knew it wasn't. Paige stared back at her sister and brother-in-law in defiance. "Well he isn't. He's letting anger cloud his judgment. We can't trust him when he's like this." She said emphasizing the last sentence. Cole waited a moment, his eyes darting from Paige to Leo and then to Piper. Maybe they did know. Would that be such a bad thing? Maybe they could help. For a moment he almost told them, but the demon inside of him reared up and wouldn't let him. His anger resurfaced even stronger and he grabbed Piper by the arm. "What is wrong with Phoebe?" He growled low and at this Leo stepped up. "Cole calm down and let go of my wife right now." Piper only stared at him, shocked. She knew he was possessed, but this was just so unlike Cole she couldn't even react. Cole would never hurt her, she knew that, but just then he was terrifying. Cole looked up at Leo and wanted to kill him. He had to let the anger out somehow. Desperately the side of him that was still human struggled to resurface. He let go of Piper and sunk into a chair with his head in his hands. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Please just tell me what's wrong." He said softly and lifted his head to look into Piper's eyes. She stared back and then threw up her hands, freezing him. Leo let out a sigh of relief and took his wife into his arms. "What are we going to do?" she mumbled into his chest. He held her tight and then pulled away. "First you need all three of you. I'm going to get the antidote for Phoebe." He paused for a minute and then kissed Piper passionately and orbed out. "Whoa that was more than I wanted to see." Paige said. Piper turned to her, with a face like stone. "Paige you don't understand. There is only one way for Leo to get that antidote. He has to steal it from the Elders themselves and if he's caught . . ." Her voice trailed off and her eyes teared up, but she shook herself out of it. "But we have to trust that he can do it. Meanwhile, what are we going to do about." She gestured to the frozen Cole. "Well it would be nice if we could just keep him like this." Paige said in a complaining tone. "Maybe we can." Piper said. "Maybe we just need to deal with him like the Elders did with Phoebe." Paige nodded, understanding. "I like the sound of that." She said.
