A male half-witch, half-Whitelighter shows up at the Manor, determined to take Paige as his wife. Piper runs into an ex. Billie found Christy, but the latter seems restless, and keeps talking about someone who "are coming". Meanwhile, the demons who were in charge of keeping Christy locked up summon their masters: the Triad.
Tropes
- Back from the Dead: The Triad, despite having been vanquished by Cole five years ago. An explanation for their recovery will be provided later.
- British Stuffiness: Simon Marks is incredibly pompous and entitled towards Paige.
- The Bus Came Back: Greg the fireman makes his third appearance.
- Entitled to Have You: Simon is convinced that he and Paige should be together because they're both Whitelighter-witches, have been foretold as each other's perfect match by various oracles and wizards, and will be powerful together. The fact that Paige doesn't like him, doesn't want him and is seeing someone else means very little to him.
- Foreshadowing: Christy leaves with the demons and sets Billie on fire. This sadly foreshadows their final interaction at the end of the series - Christy being offered a second chance, turning on Billie and being killed because of it.
- I Kiss Your Hand: Simon tries to do this to Paige who immediately pulls away from him.
- Kill It with Fire: Billie and Christy combine powers, Billie using her projection to amplify Christy's pyrokinesis and destroy all the demons.
- Oddly Common Rarity: Relationships between witches and Whitelighters were initially presented as "unthinkable:" Piper and Leo had to fight for years to get married, and half-Whitelighter Paige had to be given to Muggle Foster Parents to avoid the Elders' wrath. Here, we suddenly meet Simon Marks, a half-Whitelighter who's from a prestigious magical family and, according to a blink and you'll miss it pedigree, apparently has married parents and three brothers. No mention is made of any drama about this, and it seems odd that nobody mentioned this family until now.
- Rewatch Bonus: When Christy is revealed to be working willingly with the Triad next episode, the scene where she reassures Billie that she didn't really attack her and was just being controlled reads very differently.
