Elizabeth sits at the end of the table in the underworld, her red hair pinned back in a bun. She tried to be nice and get them to allow them to voluntarily bring her grandchild to them, now they have denied her and killed one of her men. Now it's time for her to be forceful, in her hand is a dark red liquid in a potion vile. It's sort of like the tonic that the Seer was giving Phoebe when she was carrying the Source's heir to keep her evil, but this one instead of going to Eliza will be given to Cole. One drop will weaken the 'good' in him and allow Balthazar to corrupt him and attack good witches, while the sisters are distracted on reversing the potion she will shimmer in and kidnap Eliza.
The perfect plan, now she just has to figure out a way to slip this entire potion in his drink; waving her hand over her face she feels her body morph. Standing up she walks over pulling back a red curtain revealing a long, body mirror and smirks at the younger appearance she took on. Her son has a thing for blondes and brunettes, so she picked a short, beautiful lady with hazel eyes and dark blonde hair. Smiling she wraps her fingers around the potion before shimmering out and appearing outside of his firm behind the bushes.
"Mommy's coming Coleridge" she says and smirks as she walks in the door.

Cole stumbles into the condo after work feeling under the weather, Eliza is still at work. He loosens his tie and stumbles into the bathroom pushing the light on, sweat covering his face. He watches as his skin flashes from white to red with black stripes and then back to white, stumbling back he knocks things off the wall before falling to his knees. He throws his arms and head back screaming which then turns into a roar as Balthazar emerges, he stands up and looks at himself in the mirror before disappearing in flames. The only thing on his mind is killing the Charmed Ones.
Piper and Leo are arguing about Leo spending too much time up there when they hear a loud crash followed by Paige's scream, Wyatt force field comes up around him and Leo takes Piper's hand and orbing them in the attic to see Paige lying on now broken pieces of wood and Phoebe standing behind the Book or Shadows. Balthazar is standing in the middle of the room as Piper rushes to help Paige up.
"Cole what the hell is your problem" Leo asks?
"I came to destroy the Charmed Ones" hr growls and forms a fire ball in his hand.
Phoebe runs and sends her hand out against his wrist, the fire ball flies out and goes towards Leo who instantly orbs out of the way. Balthazar hand comes up grasping Phoebe by the neck and raising her up so her feet are lifted off the ground, Piper hands comes up and with full force sends her combustion power at him. He stumbles back a little before sending an energy ball at her.
"Energy ball" Paige says watching as the ball is surrounded in orbs before throwing it back at him.
It hits him in the shoulder and the sisters run to each other.
"Cole what the hell has gotten into you" Phoebe growls.
He summons an athame in his hand as the front door closes and Eliza walks in the house, it's like he is conflicted and human Cole flashes quickly.
"Phoebe help me. I can't stop it" he says before turning back to Balthazar.
Paige saw a black mark on his neck close to his ear, it had veins sprouting from it.
"He is under a potion or spell" Paige says.
Eliza feels this second sense inside of her like something is wrong,she looks up towards the attic and starts to go towards the stairs when a woman with red hair appears in front of her.
"Hello daughter-in-law" Elizabeth says.
"Stay away from me" Eliza says slowly backing away.
"I think we are long over due for a family chat" Elizabeth says.
"You aren't family" Eliza says and sends her hands out but instead of sending her backwards with her combustion power a fire ball comes out her hand.
Elizabeth ducks just in time but it hits the edge of her shoulder, Eliza looks at her hand confused before forming two fists feeling this new power radiating off of her. She then feels this odd feeling and appears in the attic, she sees Paige lying unconscious and Phoebe shielding her as Leo heals Piper's stomach wounds.
She turns around just as Balthazar pushes the athame forward, Eliza gasps as does everyone else. Her hands come out on the side of her stomach, she looks down to see the blade has stopped a few inches away from her stomach. His hand is shaking before it flies across the room and scatters across the floor.
"Eliza be careful he's under some type of spell" Paige says.
"I know. My mother-in-law paid me a little visit downstairs" Eliza says and places her hand on Balthazar's chest and one on his face. His face holds anger and confliction.
"If she did this than maybe we can reverse it" Piper says.
"How, last time this happened we made him human and he became the Source" Phoebe says.
"Then he has to break it on his own" Paige says.
Balthazar hands comes up gripping Eliza's shoulders before he growls and pushes her away from him, she sees love and guilt in his eyes before he disappears in flames.
