Summary
The sisters are offered the chance to relinquish their powers by the Angel of Destiny in reward for vanquishing the Source. This becomes extremely tempting when the sisters find out they are being spied on by the FBI and an agent is blackmailing them into finding him a witch hunter. Paige is the only one who is not keen to relinquish her powers, but is overruled by her sisters. Once they find her, they realise they have been tricked and the agent (Jackman) is the real witch hunter and Selena is an innocent witch. They orb to save Selena from being burned at the stake by Jackman but he has buried an ancient amulet to neutralise their powers. Piper and Paige try to free Selena while Phoebe battles Jackman. Jackman tries to shoot Phoebe, but Cole, with his new powers from the Wasteland, teleports in and uses chrono-telekinesis to change Phoebe and Jackman's posistions, causing Jackman to be hit by his ow bullet, killing him. Cole teleports away again, but not before promising not to give up on him and Phoebe. Piper and Paige save Selenam but realise they don't like not having powers and refuse the Angel's offer.

Also, Cole begins to appear to Phoebe from the Demonic Wasteland. She astral projects there to tell him it's over and he has to move on but he returns to Earth anyway, with the help of leftover demonic powers. Cole absorbs the powers, kills the Beast of the Wasteland and keeps absorbing powers until he's able to return to Earth via teleportation to save Phoebe's life.

Piper finds out from the Angel that she is pregnant at the end of the episode.
