Full Storyline
The Charmed Ones save an innocent, Dr Griffiths, from a demon called Shafts. When Phoebe goes to the attic for a vanquishing spell, Shax bursts through the door and blasts Piper and Prue through a wall. He tries to kill Dr. Griffiths but Phoebe chants her spell making Shax disappear Then she calls Leo to heal Prue and Piper.
Prue feels that Shax is still alive, so she and Piper search for him. He attacks and Piper uses her power to blow him up. Unbeknownst to them, the scene is caught on tape by a news reporter. The girls tell Phoebe what happened and convince Griffiths to keep their secret. Phoebe wants to use the potion to remove Cole's demon side on him. She asks her sisters to send her to Cole. Face to face with Cole, he grabs her by the throat, she smashes the potion on his back and he kisses her.
At a television station, the reporter and her boss decide to air the tape and try to get an exclusive interview. At the police station Darryl sees the broadcast about the Halliwells. He calls the girls and tells them that their secret is out. The girls are still not sure they defeated Shax and go to the hospital to make sure Dr Griffiths is safe. They decide to take him with them but as they are doing so, Shax attacks again. This time they once and for all. unfortuately the whole incident appears on the news again. A mob surrounds the manor and the girls find out that Griffiths is giving a live TV interview.
Leo tells them the only way to fix this is to contact the Demon Tempus and have him turn back time. At that moment a deranged woman, Alice Hicks, barges into the house and says she wants to join their coven. Prue uses her power to throw her out. The girls tell Leo to find Phoebe and ask Cole to find Tempus. Leo doesn't want to go down below, because he won't be able to hear them if they need help.
Cole tells Phoebe that The Source has arrived and she has to leave. Leo orbs in and tells them that The Charmed Ones have been exposed a s witches and that they need Tempus's help. Cole says he doesn't have the power to summon Tempus but The Source does. Leo suggests they ask The Source for help since the demon world has also been exposed. Cole visits The Source who offers him a deal. He'll order Tempus to turn back time but omly if Phoebe stays below and crosses to the dark side. When Cole argues that she'll never do it The Source counters with "Even to save the life of her sister?".
Cole tells Leo and Phoebe the news and Phoebe tells Leo to check on her sisters. Prue and Piper are barricading the house when Alice Hicks shoots Piper. Prue calls Leo to heal Piper, but he can't hear her, so Prue takes Piper to the hospital. The crowd surrounds Prue's car and she uses her power to move everyone out of her way. They get to the hospital and Piper dies. Leo orbs in and Prue tells him that he has to fix this.
Leo tells Phoebe that Piper is dead. Phoebe accepts The Source's deal on one condition, Cole must warn Piper and Prue about Shax or they're already dead. After the deal is agreed, The Source tells a minion to kill Phoebe and prevent Cole from leaving. Time is reversed. Prue, Piper and Dr. Griffiths are back at the manor for the first time. Shax comes into the house and attacks the girls, Phoebe is not there to send Shax away or to call Leo to heal her sisters. The demon kills Dr. Griffiths and leaves Prue and Piper to die.
