[edit] Episode Guide
The owner of the phone company, John Normand, appears in the newspaper; he has admitted to cheating his customers.
Paige is hiring a new literature professor at Magic School. She has finished interviewing Miss Donovan, who turns out to be able to astrally project, when a man on a motorcycle portals in. He skids to a stop, breaking a table. He also wants to apply for the job. He shows an impressive knowledge of literature.
Sheridan is back on the force; Kyle has healed her and wiped her memory. She does not remember the Charmed Ones.
The man, Drake, is a former demon whom a sorcerer made human nearly a year ago. He denies ever killing a human, having preferred to read books instead. He has retained his demonic powers, but if he uses them offensively, the sorcerer will get them. He and Phoebe hit it off.
Drake magically dresses himself as Robin Hood, and then the sorcerer attacks him. The sisters return and fight the sorcerer off, but now Drake is convinced he really is Robin Hood. He finds the sisters' phone bill, which Phoebe had been complaining about, and resolves to confront John Normand, whom he calls Prince John. Phoebe tags along to try to talk him out of it. He finds the office manager and starts a revolt among the customers that have lined up to complain. Outside, he robs an armored car and scatters the cash.
Drake and Phoebe go to the phone company. Sheridan arrests Phoebe as Drake enters the building. He threatens John Normand and demands that he return the money he's stolen. The police surround the building and Darryl convinces Sheridan to let Phoebe go in. She and John talk Drake into leaving, but the sorcerer casts a spell and John then changes his mind.
The sorcerer holds Miss Donovan hostage. She projects into the attic and tells Paige and Piper what has happened. They determine that Miss Donovan is a distraction and they need to help Drake first.
John Normand taunts Drake, who sprouts fireballs from his hands. He blasts John out of a window, but he catches the edge. Phoebe rescues him as the sorcerer takes Drake's powers and casts him into hell.
Paige scries and finds Miss Donovan. The sisters suspect a trap, but Phoebe suggests thinking like Robin Hood. In the sorcerer's lair, an image of Miss Donovan taunts him. After a moment, two more images appear. The sorcerer realizes too late that it isn't Miss Donovan, but the Charmed Ones. They say a spell and vanquish the sorcerer. Drake reappears in his lair.
Paige hires Drake, and assigns Miss Donovan as his assistant. Drake tells Phoebe that he is to die one year after becoming human; he has two weeks to live.
