"Look Phoebe, if you waited 'till
now to tell me about Cole in hopes that we'd die and you wouldn't have
to deal with me, you have another thing coming."
-Prue
It's night and
poor Darryl remains at the office, trying to convince a man to be cautious,
that
someone
is after him. But Mr. Chang isn't ready to listen. Darryl explains to him
that his picture was on the Metro page of the newspaper and that several
people who have had the same honor have ended up dead in the past few days.
Mr. Chang doesn't seem too worried though and he quickly leaves.
Outside the
integration room, the three Halliwell sisters talk to the inspector. Turns
out Pheebs had a premonition about Mr. Chang being killed. Phoebe seems
to be more ready to vanquish than ever. Apparently, she's gotten over Cole.
So the sisters split up to follow the man, Phoebe and Piper go one way,
Prue and Darryl the other.
Back in a dark
alley, Prue and Darryl spot the demon attacking. Prue tosses the demon
against a
wall,
then lets him go. She just stands there stunned. She dated that demon.
The next morning,
Darryl is over and Piper is watering the plants. Apparently she waters
when she's nervous and few things make her more nervous than finding out
that the oldest of the Halliwell clan has also dated a demon. It's a disturbing
trend.
In walks Prue,
her college year book in hand. She shows them the captain of the football
team, her former boyfriend, and newly christened baddie. His name is Tom
Peters. Then she heads off to the kitchen, looking for Leo. Everyone follows
and soon the whitelighter appears. But he has issues. Piper is horrified
to learn that he's lost her mother's ring. She gave it to him to give back
to her at the
perfect moment, but now it's gone. Piper threatens bodily harm if he doesn't
find it.
Prue, meanwhile,
is more worried about her ex. Leo informs her that humans can be turned
into demons. They can be recruited by evil and then put into a training
school. In order to graduate to demon status, they have to kill an innocent.
Since Tom has yet to kill his innocent, Prue is determined to save him.
After everyone
else has left the kitchen, Leo tries to convince Phoebe to confess her
secret about Cole to her sisters. But Phoebe's more in to making up for
her mistakes by becoming a better witch. She goes out to the living room,
wondering about a spell to find Tom. Poor Piper just wants a
spell
to find her ring. Phoebe explains that she might have one-to find Tom that
is. Piper follows her into her room and Phoebe reluctantly hands over a
lost and found spell. After asking her what she was trying to find, Piper
finally learns the truth about Cole. Needless to say, Piper isn't too happy.
But Phoebe insists that she just couldn't kill him. Piper seems more upset
by her lying, than anything else though. And she wants her sister to tell
Prue the truth too. Phoebe's not quite ready for that yet.
Prue is over
at Tom's mother's house, trying to find out more about him. Apparently
Tom was depressed after he hurt his knee playing football. Mr. Kellman
his business manager was helping him, but his mother hasn't seen him in
years.
Back at the
house Piper and Phoebe do the lost and found spell. Prue walks in, rather
impressed that her sisters have gone to such efforts. Piper mutters that
Phoebe didn't exactly do it for her. She spends the rest of the conversation
hinting about Cole, even as Phoebe kicks her under the table. The youngest
Halliwell wants to know if they plan to vanquish Tom. But before Prue can
answer that they hear something hitting the door. It's a newspaper...with
no pictures, except for one, a picture of a lady in the Metro section.
Phoebe hurries them out the door, realizing that she must be Tom's next
victim.
The trio arrives
in a parking lot and Piper freezes Tom, before the woman has even realized
he's there. Then Prue decides that they need to take him back to the manor.
Her sisters just look at each
other.
Up in the attic
Piper continues to freeze Tom, who is tied to a chair. Once again she wants
to bring up the issue of Cole, but once again Phoebe changes the subject.
Prue finds the demonic school in the book. If Tom is a demon he should
have six chevrons branded into his arm. He only has five though. Phoebe
still wants to vanquish him. But Prue reminds her about Cole and how when
he was the demon in question...Pheebs had a whole different perspective.
Phoebe insists that she learned from that mistake.
Finally Tom
unfreezes as the doorbell and phone both start to ring. Piper and Phoebe
go downstairs while Prue stays with him. Phoebe answers the door. It's
Darryl, having found Tom's file.
Suddenly a white dog runs in. Piper is rather surprised when she realizes
that it's their grandmother's dog who's been lost for seven years. Apparently
the lost and found spell worked a little too well.
Piper goes to
answer the phone... only to find that it's an old friend of Prue's calling.
As she searches for a pencil to take a message she opens a drawer. A bazillion
pencils spill out, along with her wedding ring. Piper hangs up, and when
she turns around Phoebe and Darryl are there. And Phoebe's brown hair (which
she technically lost) is back again. Phoebe isn't too happy with that.
And then suddenly a million socks start to appear from the laundry room.
Oops...
Up in the attic,
Prue tells Tom that she's going to save him whether he likes it or not.
But he wants
to
be a demon, and he says Kellman will kill them both if he fails. As she
finally leaves the attic, Prue loosens his ropes with her powers.
Down in the
kitchen Prue finds her sisters and Darryl buried under hundreds of formerly
lost items. Darryl's worried that their previously vanquished demons might
be wandering back also. Prue asks him about Kellman. Then she hears Tom
escaping. But it's all part of her plan. Now she and her sisters can follow
him.
Prue,
Piper and Phoebe, track him to an office, but once inside, he seems to
have disappeared. Phoebe modifies her spell and says it again. Suddenly
a doorway to an elevator opens. Prue and Phoebe step inside, dragging
Piper along. They yell as the elevator abruptly drops downward. When it
finally stops they get out and hear fighting. There's a wrestling ring
with a bunch of demons
standing
around it. Inside some poor guy who has failed in his innocent killing
task is wrestling with a big demon guy. The sisters watch as a fiery hole
opens up beneath the man. He falls in and it quickly disappears. Then Tom
is sent into the ring.
Phoebe wants
to get back in the elevator, but Prue insists that they have to save him.
Finally Piper freezes the demons. But Kellman and a few of the stronger
ones don't freeze.
Meanwhile, Leo
orbs in to see Darryl. He can't sense the girls and he's worried. Darryl
tells them about Kellman, and Leo hastily orbs out before Darryl can ask
him anymore questions.
Somewhere down
below, Kellman has thrown this metal sphere at Tom. There are sharp blades
protruding from it and it hovers by Tom's neck. But Tom assures everyone
of his wish to become a demon, then joins Kellman outside the ring. And
then Piper freezes him, telling them that Tom won't
be able to kill an innocent now, and that if they hurt her, he'll stay
frozen for ever. Then Prue makes a deal to fight for Tom. If they win they
get him back.
As they prepare
to fight, Prue decides that Piper should stay out of the ring to make sure
Tom stays frozen. And then worrying that they might soon die, Phoebe finally
decides to tell Prue about Cole. Piper's horrified at how lousy her timing
is, and Prue doesn't take the news well. And to make matters worse Kellman
sends out two huge demon guys for them to fight.
As they get
into the ring, Prue glares at her sister, ready to kick more than just
demon @ss. As they start to fight, it looks like they might have a chance.
Piper plays coach from the side, trying to egg them on, by reminding them
of how mad
they
are at each other. Unfortunately for poor Piper, Kellman throws one of
his spheres into her back. Piper collapses as Tom unfreezes. They've called
her bluff. Of course, with their sister now mortally wounded, Prue and
Phoebe become a little distracted. Phoebe nearly gets dropped into the
fiery pit, but Prue saves her. Then she explains that they have to win
if they're going to save Piper. They fight harder than ever and in the
end, it is the two wrestling demons who end up in the fire. But by this
time, Kellman has taken Tom back up to kill his own mother, hoping that
that will finally turn him evil.
Prue and Phoebe
carry Piper back up to Kellman's office. Luckily Leo is there, still trying
to find him. Piper has stopped breathing by this point and Leo quickly
takes the sphere blades out of her back. As his powers work their magic,
Leo
explains
that the only way to stop Kellman is to turn one of his recruits against
him, which means saving Tom. Now they must get Tom and his mother over
to their house. Phoebe will have to fix her spell again to bring Tom to
them. They finally go, leaving Leo with Piper.
As they walk
out of the office, Phoebe wants to talk. She explains that she only wanted
to save Cole in the same way that Prue now wants to save Tom. But more
than anything Prue is mad that she lied. And besides Tom started out good.
He deserves a chance.
Back in the
office, Piper finally wakes up. She smiles and tells Leo that she
found
her ring. Then they hug.
Over at the
manor, Darryl has brought Tom's mom. Unfortunately the house now seems
to be plagued with lost souls who are flying around. Tom and Kellman finally
show up and Tom nearly kills his mom with a fireball. And then Kellman
throws one of his sphere at the woman's throat. Prue tries to talk to her
ex, even as the spirits fly around. Tom walks over to his mom, seemingly
ready to kill her with the sphere. But then instead he throws it at Kellman,
killing him. He hugs his mom and Phoebe hastily reverses the spell, getting
rid of the lost souls.
Later that night,
Piper is finally wearing her ring. Tom is home with his mom
and
Leo has returned their Grams' dog to the family he was living with. But
they're still going to need to have a lot of garage sales to get rid of
all the "lost" stuff. Finally she and Leo go out to their much deserved
dinner, leaving Prue and Phoebe to talk.
Phoebe burns
her lost and found spell and apologizes again, telling her sister that
Cole won't be coming back. But Prue explains that that doesn't fix it.
Phoebe lied to her sisters, a lie that could still get them killed. She
feels betrayed. Phoebe wants to know where she should go from here.
But Prue doesn't know. They just sit in front of the fire, staring at each
other.
