Paige Matthews and Cole Turner



The relationship between Paige Matthews, a charmed one and Cole Turner, a ex-demon however, is not a romantic one. They more or less had a love and hate relationship together. They had numerous heated discussions due to Paige's hatred towards him and his somewhat hatred towards her.

Season 4
When Paige first met Cole, him as well as Phoebe were spying on her and Shane from a near building, waiting for the attack from Shax, the demon who killed Paige's older half sister, Prue Halliwell. When Shax did attack, Paige was able to orb out, thus surviving the attack. However, Shax was still after her and followed her through the building. Phoebe and Cole then shimmered over and saved Paige from getting killed by firing numerous energy balls at him while Phoebe said the vanquishing spell which technically makes him the one who saved her from death.

Cole then risked his own life to help find Paige so The Source wouldn't kill her and/or turn her to the side of evil. Although, this nearly cost him his life when the Source stabbed him in the stomach, fatally wounding him. However, with the help of Leo, him and Paige were able to heal Cole together, thus returning him the favor. . But, Paige's suspicions of him grow larger and often refers to him still being a demon long after he got his powers relinquished by Phoebe. . When The Source of All Evil attacked The Charmed Ones, Cole was the only one who could help them.

With The Seer's help, Cole took in hollow and thus gained demonic powers again. He shimmered into the the attic and gained the power to throw Fire Balls. He threw them continuously long enough for Paige and her sisters to say the spell and vanquish him. However, the Sources essence transported into Cole making him the new source. . Paige instantly sensed something different in Cole's behavior and attitude. She came to the conclusion that he has gone back to his demonic ways, however she didn't know he was the Source. At one point, she did find out although, she had recently been infected by a power broker and after the power was released from her, she forgot anything Cole told her.

As another way to get Paige off his scent, a group of Vampires attacked Paige, thus turning her into a vampire, which Cole thought was a good idea, seeing as he can easily kill her than. However, when he sees how upset Phoebe is, his inner-good comes out and ends up vanquishing the Vampire Queen and stopping Paige's full transition into a vampire. Although, the next morning Paige talks to Piper and talks to her about what happened whilst she was a vampire and adds that she thinks Cole is evil again and Piper finally agrees and comments that a lot of things about him lately, don't add up.

Paige and Piper get up enough courage to tell Phoebe that they both think Cole is evil, however Phoebe has news of her own, she's pregnant which causes the sisters to hold off telling her. However, Paige randomly tells her while Phoebe is working, she storms off to Cole and attempts to confront him. In the end, the sisters find out Cole is actually the new source, and Phoebe gives up her sisters, to go with him and be his queen. However, it doesn't last and Paige and her sisters vanquish Cole for good, or so they thought.

Season 5
Cole finally arrives back to San Francisco in order to win Phoebe back into his life, however Paige argues with him heatedly and telling him that Phoebe is not a mermaid cause of him. This cause's Cole to start packing up his things, however Paige learns the real reason why Phoebe was turned into a mermaid, not because she hated Cole so much, but because she was still madly in love with him. She then confronts Cole and casts a spell on him, so he will be able to feel what Phoebe feels, and finds out that Phoebe loves him more then anyone of them even realized.

Although, technically that was a turning point for them two, showing that they are able to work together if they need two. The relationship between them two went down hill, extremely after Cole nearly kills Phoebe, kills countless innocent people and criminals. However, when Barbas the demon of fear returned, Cole in order to give Phoebe what she wants, gives up his powers with the help of Paige. This would be another turning point for them, as it is seen they have bonded, as friends, for the first time since the death of Prue Halliwell.

However, the "friend" relationship, was short lived after Cole technically crazy and became a avatar in order to crate an alternate reality, where he was still married to Phoebe and Paige died the night Shax attacked her. Fortunately, when this reality was being created Paige orbed out of P3 and ended up in the new reality. She was then able to convince her sisters and Leo who she was and they were able to kill and vanquished Cole once and for all. The world was then set back to normal.
