Phoebe Halliwell wandered back and forth across her bedroom, it looked so

empty. Yes, Cole hadn't been living there since they were newly weds- then

they had moved into the penthouse, but since Cole had died, the place just

felt so lonely.

This time, Cole was definitely gone for good. When he used his newly

found powers to change reality so he could be with Phoebe, he became

Belthazor once again, and Piper, Paige and herself were able to vanquish

him, now that he was no longer indestructible. She was finally free of him,

after all this time; when the bounty hunters that attacked constantly when he

was Belthazor, what she went through when Cole became the Source and

she became his queen, and of course the pain of accepting Cole's vanquish

as the Source.

Phoebe was finally getting her life back together and came so close to

divorcing Cole, and then he used his new demonic powers to return to Earth

from the demonic afterlife. She suffered so much during Cole's twisted

attempts to get her back; Bacarra, the mummifying, the kidnapping, and the

switching of reality... and now he's finally gone.

She had so many reasons to hate him, to be glad that he was no more,

but she couldn't help but miss him. Cole may have done many awful things,

but he did a lot of good in the last 3 years. If it weren't for him, Piper would

have died during her vigilante stage (when all she wanted to do was chase

dangerous demons regardless of the consequences); Phoebe may have not

been able to reach Paige before Shax attacked her for the first time; they may

not have found out that Paige was another Charmed One, and when the

power broker attacked, Paige would have died if Cole hadn't jumped in with a

solution even when Paige almost killed him. Cole helped Phoebe through the

grief of losing Prue.

Phoebe swallowed. This was dangerous ground she was treading on.

The last thing she needed now was a heart full of sorrow over a demon. She

collapsed on her bed and looked to her right. The first thing that caught her

eye was a picture of her and Cole that Prue had taken of them at P3 before

they discovered that he was the demon they had been hunting. Against her

own freewill, she stretched out her arm and picked up the photo to look at it.

She was overcome with dizziness- the kind she had before she was hit by a

premonition...
