Phoebe and her new boyfriend Miles go upstairs to Phoebe's bedroom and are starting to get horizontal when Phoebe has a premonition of Miles being caught in a police shootout and shot dead. Meanwhile, Piper and Leo enter the manor, coming home from grocery shopping, only to find Paige making out with some guy on the couch.
In the morning, Piper, Paige and Leo are talking about Paige's new guy. Paige has a new "couch buddy" (as Piper calls him) named Max. Phoebe and Miles come downstairs and agree to a lunch date before he leaves. Phoebe tells her sisters and Leo about her premonition and asks if one of them could come with her to help protect him. She and Piper barely reach the scene and Piper's car is blocked by a delivery truck. They run to the scene of the shootout and Piper freezes the scene. The suspect is caught, and Miles is saved. On kissing Miles after saving his life, she has another premonition of Miles getting stabbed at the manor.
Shortly after Phoebe and Miles leave the scene for their lunch date, the warlock Bacarra tunnels in from the future. He blinks into Cole's apartment and presents him with Cole's wedding band. He tells Cole that Phoebe had saved a man who was destined to die, and that she would repeatedly save him and after six months she, too, would die. He also tells Cole that Phoebe falls in love with Miles. He tries to convince Cole to kill Miles as he is meant to die, but Cole declines to do so. He also claims to be Cole's future adviser as ruler of the underworld. Cole doesn't believe Bacarra, so Bacarra decides that he must kill Miles himself and blinks out.
Leo, Miles and the sisters are having dinner at the manor. Cole fades into the kitchen and only Piper notices his arrival. Cole warns Piper that Bacarra is after Miles. Piper has Cole leave before Phoebe notices him. Phoebe enters the kitchen, and Piper warns Phoebe that a warlock is after Miles. Just as Piper tries to hurry Phoebe back into the dining room with dessert, Phoebe remembers that Miles was killed while they were serving dessert. Bacarra blinks in just as Phoebe runs back into the dining room. He throws an athame at Miles, but Phoebe dives over the table and the athame misses. He manages to fight the sisters off and escapes. Phoebe has another premonition upon kissing Miles, this one of Miles falling off a balcony.
The present-day Bacarra is pursuing a witch. The Bacarra from the future cancels the witch's invisibility spell and renders her unconscious. The two Bacarras plot to steal the Book of Shadows by cloaking themselves in good.
Cole tells Piper and Paige what Bacarra told him, that Phoebe must let Miles die to save her own life. Leo says the Elders also think that it might be Miles' time to die. Piper and Paige tell Phoebe, but she doesn't believe them.
Future Bacarra blinks into the manor and throws an athame at Piper. She freezes it but Future Bacarra casts his cancelling spell. Piper is wounded. Present Bacarra blinks in, teleports the athame to him, and with Piper's blood is able to cloak himself and steal the Book of Shadows.
Meanwhile, Miles falls off the balcony and Phoebe saves him again. Miles tells Phoebe to stay away, that he seems to be jinxed. Phoebe hugs him again and has yet another premonition: this one of Cole entering Miles's bedroom as he and Phoebe are asleep. Phoebe confronts Cole in the living room while Miles is sleeping, and Cole assures her that he'll take care of Miles and that he's after Bacarra. Just then, Paige calls Phoebe and tells her what happened. "If I kill him," says Cole, "you'll never trust me." Phoebe decides to trust Cole and go with her sisters.
The two Bacarras blink in while the sisters are preparing a potion and say a spell to remove the sisters' powers. They kill Phoebe and Paige. Leo orbs Piper away in time. Future Bacarra tells present Bacarra to demand his rightful place in the underworld.
Leo and Piper look for the time ripple that future Bacarra used. Piper finds it, but future Bacarra attacks. Leo tackles him and Piper goes back in time, to the time and place where Phoebe first saved Miles. Future Piper tells present Piper that Phoebe must let Miles die. Present Piper points Phoebe in the wrong direction so they will be too late to save Miles, who is consequently killed in the shootout. Phoebe caresses Miles's body in tears. Both Pipers watch on sadly and then Future Piper fades away.
Later that night, Piper and Paige find Phoebe dancing in her bedroom. Phoebe decides to keep going and believe that she will find love again. Piper promises to not stand in her way when she does, which makes Paige and Phoebe suspicious.
