Blinded by the White Lighter
Phoebe agrees to meet with Reece Davidson who she met at Cole's office, and who is investigating his disappearance. He tells her that Cole is a shadowy figure, and that bloodstains and occult paraphernalia were found at his apartment. While he senses that Phoebe knows more than she is saying, he thinks she is holding back because she is afraid of Cole, not because she is implicated in his disappearance. Later back at the manor the pressure of keeping her secret becomes too much to bear and, after swearing him to secrecy, she confesses to Leo that Cole/Belthazor is still alive.
Leo and Piper's relationship appeared under some strain during this episode, at first because of Piper's frustration over their apparently endless probationary period and Leo's secrecy; and later when seeing Leo with a female White Lighter colleague with whom he had a shared (non-romantic) history and a good understanding stirred feelings of jealousy in Piper. However at the end of the episode Leo announces that due to the Charmed Ones' efforts in protecting the realm of the White Lighers from a dangerous warlock, the probation is over and he and Piper are officially engaged.
