Synopsis
Template:Spoiler Phoebe has chosen to stay with Cole and take on the role as Queen of the Underworld, but a premonition of an innocent in danger compels her to rejoin her sisters. Word spreads that the Queen is responsible for saving an innocent and Phoebe and Cole may be facing a bloody coup, with the only solution to prove their dark allegiance being to kill Piper and Paige. Cole convinces Phoebe to drink a tonic (prepared by the Seer) that will keep her with him (by turning her evil), but when she learns Cole killed a man "for their good" she runs to the bathroom and throws it back up. While she is in the bathroom, Piper and Paige orb in and begin placing crystals around Cole to trap him. They are one away when Cole stops them and threatens to kill them so Phoebe will stay with him forever. Phoebe comes from the bathroom and picks up the last crystal and goes to Cole and begins kissing him. But with a goodbye, she completes the crystal circle and traps him. The sisters say a power of three spell and he is destroyed with a huge explosion. Days later Phoebe is still weeping in her room for Cole. The show ends with Paige and Piper climbing into bed wordless to hold her as she weeps.
