    On a beach near San Francisco, Phoebe Halliwell has built herself a kingdom out of sand. Proclaiming it "Phoebeville" she smiles at Prue who is busy taking pictures. Unfortunately, Prue doesn't share her sand induced enthusiasm. She has come for the sole purpose of giving Piper and Leo some newlywed alone time at the maonor.  She's not a big fan of the beach, she explains. This is where Grams brought them after their mother's funeral and it makes her angry. The sisters decide to abandon Phoebeville in exchange for some lattes. But before they can pack up Prue spots a woman up on the cliff taking pictures of her. Prue sees a shadowy form beside her and tries to warn her, but she runs away.
    Elsewhere in the city, Cole's former landlady is showing his old place to two creepy looking guys. Anyone with any kind of instincts would be quick to point them out as potential baddies, but the lady seems not to notice and soon enough she has fallen victim to their vampire like teeth.
    Back at the manor, Piper is worried about her attire. She and Leo are going up to visit his side of the family. She wishes that her sisters could go, but Leo insists that he's not a taxi service. He just wants to introduce his new wife to everyone. Phoebe comes in and they promise to stay within calling distance should Prue's shadowy figure show again. Then they disappear.
      Prue comes in just as the doorbell rings. It's Reese, the investigator looking for Cole. He tells Phoebe what's happened to the landlady but Phoebe still won't tell him where Cole is. Finally he leaves and as the sisters watch him go, Prue spots the lady by his car. They seem to be working together. Prue decides to follow her.
    At the mausoleum, Phoebe warns Cole about both Reese and the toothy fellows looking for him. Cole explains that those must be the Seekers, then worries that they might find Phoebe through him. He wants to deal with them on his own. But Phoebe insists that she's ready to fight for him.
    Prue watches Reese and the woman, Andrea, talking in his car. Apparently he's having her follow the Halliwell sisters. As she goes into his office to drop off some photos, Prue follows her. Unfortunately she doesn't get into the office quick enough and the Seekers attack and kill Andrea while searching for Reese. Prue rushes in and sees the shadow which suddenly materializes into a man. Andrea turns all ghostly and goes with him but not before Prue demands to know his identity. He tells her that he is Death and that he will be back.
    At Cole's old apartment, he and Phoebe remember their past times together. Waking up with Phoebe was Cole's first taste of humanity and he never felt evil with her (which is good since he's with her right then :) Moments later, Phoebe has a premonition of Reese being killed by the Seekers. Strangely enough Prue is there and turns her back when he dies.
    Back at the manor, Phoebe's looking through the book for the Seekers. Cole refuses to get too close, remembering how it shocked him the last time her touched it. Finally she finds the right page and learns that they collect info by extracting their victim's brain cells. They're obviously following their information from person to person until they find Cole. Prue arrives then and tells them about Andrea's death. She calls Leo and Piper back and everyone is surprised to see the lamp they return with. It's their wedding present and it is rather bright. But Prue is more concerned with Death. Leo insists that Death simply exists and that he's not evil. Prue is convinced that he is coming for Reese though and that she will be there to protect him. Phoebe tells her sister about her premonition, but Prue refuses to believe her. As they are talking Cole walk out of the room then shimmers away.
    Reese is being interviewed about Andrea's death. When he leaves, Cole meets up with him. Sensing that the Seekers are nearby he shimmers away with Reese.
    Meanwhile at the manor, Leo is trying to find a good place for their wedding present. But when he sets the lamp down in any visible area Piper immediately shakes her head. Prue and Phoebe realize Cole is gone and that he probably took Reese to the mausoleum. Prue insists that she can astral there quickly and that Phoebe's premonition will not come true. Her sisters reluctantly let her go.
    At the mausoleum the Seekers arrive, having tracked Cole's shimmer. Prue arrives then and Reese freaks out with all the supernatural madness. He tries to run away but gets knocked out. Death appears and Prue runs to fight him, but kicks nothing but air. Poor Cole is attacked by both Seekers and is nearly killed. But finally they retreat and so does Death.
    Back at the manor Leo is still trying to find a spot for the lamp, but Piper refuses to approve any of his placements, telling him that it's kind of bright. But it's supposed to symbolize the light of their eternal love. Piper immediately worries that this means they'll have to keep it on all the time. She tries to bring Phoebe to her side, but Phoebe stays out of it.
    Just then Prue and Cole arrive carrying Reese, who's still unconscious. Cole's angry that Prue didn't try to help him. But Prue's bitter that he left in the first place. If he had been caught then the Seekers would have learned about them too. Cole had never thought about that. He was trying to protect them. Leo decides to go consult the Elders. As he orbs out Reese wakes up and, still freaked out, pulls a gun. They warn him that he is on Death's hit list but are forced to let him go. Piper and Phoebe follow him, insisting that Cole remains at the Manor. Prue leaves on her own mission.
       On the beach, Prue calls upon Death. She says that she called him about Reese, but he realizes the truth, that she's still angry about her mother's death. If she manages to save Reese then she will have finally beaten him. But he tells her that no one can beat him and that she's wasting her time trying to stop the inevitable. In order to show her what he means, he takes her hand and they disappear.
    At a nearby cemetery, Reese is attending Andrea's funeral unaware that Piper and Phoebe are watching from her jeep. The Seekers approach him and he agrees to go with them so as not to make a scene and hurt others around him. Seeing what is happening, Piper and Phoebe follow.
    The Seekers take Reese to a building within the cemetery. Prue and Death arrive and when they kill Reese Prue does indeed turn her back as Death tells her that there's nothing she can do. Standing at the window, having been locked out, Piper and Phoebe watch in stunned surprise. The Seekers leave and Death takes Reese. Finally Piper and Phoebe get in, demanding to know how Prue could've let Reese die without a fight. But, crying she tells them that it was his time. Then she goes over to Reese's body and apologizes to him.
    Back in the manor, the Seekers have finally found Cole. They attack and Cole fends them off until the sisters arrive. Phoebe manages to knock one of them out while Prue viciously beats on the other. Finally Cole gets her to stop and the trio vanquish the two demons. Prue is happy that they at least saved one innocent and Phoebe smiles, pleased that Cole has reached innocent status.
    Moments later Leo arrives. The Elders told him to miss the big show, explaining that Prue needed to learn a lesson, that Death is not evil. She walks out of the room and Phoebe and Cole aren't far behind her. Piper and Leo are left alone together, regarding their wedding present. Piper has decided  that its certainly not worth fighting over and that maybe she can learn to like it. They kiss but as they do they bump the table and the lamp shatters on the floor. Piper smiles, liking it even more now.
    The next morning, Prue is back at the beach. Death arrives and Prue wants to know why she couldn't fight the demons, why she had to let Reese die. She is surprised to learn that Death knows her name. He tells her that he read it off of her list. Had she not let Reese go, then she would have been next. That's why she was able to see Death, because she had focused all of her anger on him. That made her vulnerable. But Prue isn't sure how else she can be. Death tells her that she needs to grieve and let go. Then he disappears, leaving Prue to cry on the beach.
