Phoebe walked over to her sisters and said,
"Maybe we should help him."
"You're crazy, right?" Piper said, shocked. "It's obvious that he's lying!"
Barbus appeared transparently in the room and said into Piper's ear,
"How can you be so sure? Maybe Cole is telling the truth. It would make sense."
"Listen Piper, I have a gut feeling that Cole is telling the truth." Phoebe said.
"You're right." Piper said. "And it does make sense about Cole being resurrected."
Paige looked at Piper in confusion and said,
"Now you think that Cole's telling the truth too? Didn't we make this mistake once already?"
Before Barbus could say anything to Paige, there was a loud crash downstairs. Prue was lying on the ground and a demon was standing holding a fireball.
"Hey! Stay away from her!" Phoebe said.
Piper blew up the demon.
"What do we do? When she wakes up, she'll attack us." Paige said.
"It doesn't make any sense." Leo said.
"So, what do we do?" Chris said.
"Let's just put her on the couch for now. We have to find who resurrected her." Piper said.
"I'm betting that it's the same person who brought Cole back." Paige said.
"Cole, do you know who brought you back?" Phoebe said.
"No." Cole said. "I'm sorry I can't be more help to you."
"That's okay."
He looked at Phoebe's eyes. His heart skipped a beat. Cole realized that even though Phoebe had sent him to hell, he still loved her.
"Maybe I should go." Cole said.
"Is that such a good idea?" Piper said. "If you are being controlled, you should be here where it's safe."
"But what if I attack Prue?"
"All right. Go. But if you need anything just come and find us." Phoebe said.
Cole shimmered into the penthouse. He knew that if he continued helping Barbus then Phoebe would end up getting hurt. That was the last thing that he wanted. Barbus appeared next to him and said,
"Good job. The sisters are convinced."
"Paige isn't." Cole said, still thinking about Phoebe.
"Don't worry about Paige."
If he stopped helping Barbus, Barbus would try to kill him. Cole thought that maybe he should tell the sisters about Barbus' plan.
Anastasia was watching all of this from a large crystal ball that sat in one of the rooms. She was happy with the way things had turned out so far. It was only a matter of time until Barbus gained control over the Underworld. Once he did, Anastasia would make her move.
