Plot
With the Book of Shadows in Zankou's possession, the Charmed Ones take refuge at Magic School. Zankou and his henchmen take control of the manor. Zankou opens the Nexus and takes in the Shadow -- but the sisters cast a spell and expel it from him.

Agent Keyes from Homeland Security meets with Inspector Sheridan. She tells him of all the unsolved cases connected to the Halliwells. He tells her that the Halliwells have supernatural powers.



A number of magical beings come to Magic School and, with their help, the sisters launch a raid on the manor. Zankou is briefly turned into a pig, but reverses the spell. Phoebe tries to take the Book, but it repels her. Zankou throws a potion and steals Phoebe's power.

The sisters enter a vampire cave and Piper starts blasting. The vampire queen comes out and the sisters ask for her help preventing Zankou from controlling the underworld. The sisters orb to the attic -- but the vampire queen betrays them; Zankou had got to her first. He throws a potion and steals Piper's power.

The sisters go to Victor and leave Chris and Wyatt with him, along with the deeds to the manor and P3. They believe they may not survive their fight with Zankou.

Sheridan enters the manor wearing a miniature camera. She intends to catch the sisters using their powers. She finds no one home and goes to the attic. Keyes tells her to get out, but she finds Zankou, who kills her with an energy ball. Keyes calls for a SWAT team.

Zankou breaches the defenses of Magic School and flames in. The sisters flee and scatter. Zankou throws a potion at Paige, but nothing happens -- the sisters have astrally projected and their images disappear. The sisters are really in the manor, and Zankou isn't. They say the Power of Three spell and regain control of the book just as Keyes arrives with the SWAT team.



The sisters try to open the Nexus, but Zankou blasts them and takes in the Shadow. The sisters say a spell to vanquish the Shadow, destroying both it and Zankou in a massive explosion. The SWAT team storms the manor, but finds no one. Keyes had seen the Halliwells through the window and thinks that they are dead.

Outside, three young women pull Leo aside. Once they're alone, they drop their glamours and reveal themselves to be the Charmed Ones. They plan to start a new life without constantly fighting demons. They resume their glamours and give one to Leo as well. Darryl, though, silently figures this out as the four walk away. Darryl then proceeds to walk down the steps leading to the Manor for the very last time. The Manor door is then magically closed, by Prue.

Quotes
(When explaining to Kahn about the Charmed Ones...)
 * Zankou: You can't take them head on. It doesn't work. That's how demons die. Not this demon, not this time.

(At Magic School...)
 * Paige: I don't think we're getting out of this one, girls.

(After the sisters' astral selves returned back to their bodies)
 * Piper: Thank you, Prue.

(After absorbing the Nexus...)
 * Zankou: You can't stop me now.

Paige: Oh yeah?

Piper: Watch us.

(Seeing the sisters and Leo in their new identities walking away from the manor...)
 * Darryl (laughing): Well all right, all right.


 * Piper: Wasn't there a confidence spell in the Book of Shadows?

Phoebe: Yeah. Remember, we cast it on that waiter at Quake?

(Piper's eyes widen)

Piper: Wow. Quake. That was a long time ago.
