9.04 – Hit Or Myth
The Charmed Ones have been on edge lately since they were told about a major threat that will come after them soon. They've been preparing potions and spells in case of an early attack. But other than that, the three have been getting on with their lives as per usual. Paige (Rose McGowan) has tried to bring the romance back into her relationship with Henry (Ivan Sergei) after they've been growing further apart, whilst Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is on a constant demon-hunting spree, and P3 has been doing incredibly well thanks to Piper (Holly Marie Combs) with sell out night's everyday. But as three unusual demons strike, attacking one sister each, the peaceful lives of the Charmed Ones comes to yet another halt.
After managing to fend off the extraordinary creatures, the sister's gather at the Halliwell Manor to search through the Book Of Shadows for their demons. Even though the creatures were disguised, Paige knows that they had scales. The girl's stops at a page detailing reptile demons but these are males and the demons that attacked were female. In the meantime, Coop (Victor Webster) requests Phoebe home where he asks her to investigate a series of broken love relationships in which he initially played match-maker for. It seems all the couples are slowly breaking up, with no real reason. Back at the Halliwell Manor, the three demons attack and reveal themselves by removing their disguises. The demons have scales for skin, blood red goggling eyes, snake-like tongues, brass heads, and venomous alive snakes for hair. Piper doesn't have time to react before she looks at one of them and she instantly turns to stone. Paige throws a blinding potion at the creatures as they disappear. Phoebe returns to find one sister injured and the other frozen in stone.
Elsewhere, Leo (Brian Krause) is preparing to reclaim Magic School by renovating and restoring the old domicile with the help from many of the magical community. Paige suddenly Orbs in, demanding for a leprechaun and a fairy immediately. The community also take this opportunity to apologize to Leo, and the sisters, for betraying them earlier in the year by siding with the enemy. Paige returns to the Halliwell Manor with the two magical beings where the leprechaun uses luck and the fairy uses pixie dust to help free Piper. With an additional blast from a potion by Phoebe, Piper is released from the stone. Soon, the girls discover that the demons are three creatures known as the Gorgons. Three sisters- Euryale, Stheno, and Medusa- from the ancient Greek period used to terrorize citizens of the town. Euryale and Stheno are both immortal but Medusa, who is only mortal, was killed centuries ago by a warrior who beheaded her. By looking at one of these creatures, you may be turned to stone. Piper jokes about being stone like Paige was four years ago. Phoebe wonders how Medusa came back to life, with head intact and everything, and she realizes that the major threat which is coming for them must be behind it all. Together, the Gorgons are of such power that they can easily overpower the Power Of Three.
Alongside Coop, Phoebe quickly goes to investigate the broken relationships before going back to her sister's to vanquish the ultimate Gorgons. Phoebe later learns that the couples are being pressured to break up with one another by an impostor posing as a Cupid. Phoebe realizes that this fraud is the cause of the down falling relationships of Paige and Henry, and even Coop and herself. Coop senses the impostor and just before Phoebe can say a spell to banish him, he disappears. Then, Phoebe is needed back at the Halliwell Manor where the Gorgons are attacking.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige have no clue about how to vanquish these three most powerful demons. Paige insists that they've gone up against strong demons before, so they'll do it again. Piper proposes using the method the warrior used years ago to kill them, but Phoebe says that it'll only work on Medusa because the others are immortal. As the Gorgons gain on the sisters, Phoebe remembers that without one Gorgon their power as a whole is weakened. She blocks her eyes using a mirror as Medusa, the most vulnerable Gorgon, looks her way, but instead Medusa sees her reflection and she's instantly turned to stone. Piper blows the sculpture up, and now the remaining demons are basically powerless. The Charmed Ones chant the Power Of Three spell, with closed eyes, as the demons explode. Paige declares that someone really is out to kill the Charmed Ones and they're sending the strongest of strongest demons out to get them- this someone is also bringing back demons from the dead. The sister's agree to stay cautious and they realize that their fight with evil is not over yet.
The sister's join Leo and Coop at Magic School to witness the grand reopening of this enchanted palace. Together with the whole magical community, Leo announces that good has reclaimed the school. Random supernatural beings wish Leo all the best and hand the school over to him; Leo is now permanent Headmaster. Later, Phoebe tells her sister's about the impostor who is tearing couples apart and warns Piper to watch out for him since he's already got to Paige. Piper sombrely says that they have to combat more than ever now, especially with two powerful demons on the loose; one of whom will do anything to stop the almighty Power Of Three.
