[edit] Episode Guide

The sisters have been transformed into beautiful and powerful Greek goddesses. Phoebe is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, with long blonde hair. Paige is Athena, the Goddess of War, with a trident. Piper is the Goddess of Earth, and is very skeptical of the whole thing. Chris warns them to stay focused so their powers don't consume their humanity, as happened the last time the Elders turned people into gods. He explains that he came to their time to keep the Elders from being completely wiped out, as happened in his time; having Leo release the God powers was the only way to protect the surviving Elders. However, Phoebe wants to go to a bachelor auction that The Bay Mirror had been organizing, and whirls out. Paige wants to get target practice on some demons, and disappears in a burst of lightning. Chris tells Piper that her role is to keep Phoebe and Paige from getting carried away by their newly minted powers. Piper thinks Leo could have easily told her that himself, but Chris replies that Leo probably won't be coming back until they defeat the Titans.

Cronus and Demetrius are after the surviving Elders. Demetrius is still upset that Cronus killed Meta, but feels they needed to hit the Elders when they least expected it. They whirl away to finish off the Elders.

The auction is well underway at P3 when Phoebe arrives. Several men fall all over themselves to bid on her.

Paige accepts homage from several demons in a forest, in hopes of making them help her sisters fight the Titans. Piper whirls in, and chases the demons off by stirring up a minor earthquake. She and Paige whirl back to the manor, where Phoebe is being waited on by several men. Piper blows them away from Phoebe, and they scurry out. Leo "jingles" to the sisters to tell them Roland, one of the surviving Elders, is under attack. A leprechaun tries to rainbow him away but the Titans blast him. Roland falls out of the rainbow. Just as the Titans go in on him, the sisters teleport in. Paige fires lightning at Cronus, but he deflects it with a wave of his hand. The Titans then try to blast the sisters and Roland, but the sisters raise a force field. They can't move to get Roland out, however. Piper calls for Leo, and he remotely orbs them out.

The sisters find themselves in an underground tunnel, a sanctuary for the surviving Elders. Leo has created this refuge with fairy magic so that the Titans cannot find them. Roland tells them that he has long sold Leo short, especially after he married Piper. However, he's very grateful that Leo has been able to save so many of his colleagues. Leo has been away from Piper for so long, however, that she is becoming upset -- and an angry goddess is not a good thing. She starts a small earthquake in the cave.

Phoebe lures Demetrius to the manor. Cronus finds him and is briefly angry, and then the Titans attack Phoebe. Paige appears behind them and the Titans are revealed to be mere images, one of many "war games" run by Paige. Phoebe thinks that the sisters might have to declare themselves goddesses to defeat the Titans, but Paige would rather die than lose her humanity. Chris orbs in and refuses to bring Leo. Phoebe and Paige begin to think of how Leo constantly saves the day, and now they'll have to work without him.

The Titans go to the heavens; Cronus is convinced that there has to be someone still alive there. Demetrius is skeptical; he thinks that the world's magic has increased since they were entombed. He'd also rather be hunting down the sisters. Cronus, however, believes they have to track down whoever's still alive in the heavens to prevent new gods from being created. He senses Leo, but Leo hides behind a pillar and cloaks himself so the Titans can't see him.

Piper is upstairs with Wyatt when Chris comes up; he's worried history is playing out as it did in his future. Piper is insistent on Leo coming down. Chris relents, orbs up and draws the attention of the Titans while Leo orbs down. Leo explains that he had been cornered by the Titans. Piper wants Leo to hold Wyatt and then have some time alone. Leo wants Piper to channel her maternal instincts into fighting the Titans.

Piper and Leo head downstairs, where Phoebe and Paige are still drawing blanks on how to defeat the Titans. tells the sisters that they don't need him, that they can fight the Titans themselves by declaring themselves goddesses. However, he thinks that unlike the Greeks, they won't lose their humanity. He then explains that he turned Phoebe into Aphrodite because of how well she rebounded from her relationship with Cole. He turned Paige into Athena because she's always wanted to become a more powerful witch, but hasn't let the power consume her. He turned Piper into Gaia because he considers her the embodiment of everything that is good in the world. Leo thinks that if the sisters channel everything that motivates them into their powers, they can destroy the Titans once and for all. Afterwards, he is surrounded by a golden glow.

Leo is playing with Wyatt when Piper walks in. Leo doesn't know what's happening to him. Piper calls for Chris, who is not happy because the Titans are after him. He says that Leo has a chance to become an Elder. Piper is upset; if Leo becomes an Elder, he won't be able to stay with them. Chris wants Piper to go help her sisters, but Piper wants him to tell Leo he isn't an Elder. Chris isn't willing, and Piper and blasts Chris across the room. Leo tells Piper that she just found the power she needs to destroy the Titans. Shortly after, a commotion occurs downstairs; the Titans have attacked. Just as they gain the upper hand, an earthquake knocks the Titans off their feet. Piper whirls in. One of the Titans tries to blast her, but it has no effect. Piper opens a hole in the earth, and Paige zaps the ground out from under the Titans' feet. The Titans fall in. Leo tells them it's time to give up their powers. However, a distraught Piper wordlessly whirls away.

Leo removes the god-powers from Paige and Phoebe, but Piper, upset, is raising a huge thunderstorm around San Francisco. Paige and Phoebe find Piper and tell her that Wyatt needs his mother. Piper shimmers "Up There" and confronts Leo. Leo is sorry for Piper but he feels he has no choice in the matter: he will become an Elder. Piper at last releases the god-powers. Leo promises that he will never leave Wyatt's side, even if he can't give human love.

Leo orbs down in front of the manor, and tells Chris that he is the Charmed Ones' new Whitelighter; he can't go back to the future, as the future is vastly different now. As Leo orbs up, Chris gestures and Leo's orb is thrown through a portal, his whereabouts unknown. Chris then heads back to the manor and telekinetically closes the door.
