Paige-orbing-knox

Montgomery Knox is trying to kill Piper and Paige. Paige has a flashback of Henry deciding to leave; because of their situation with Prue turning evil and wanting to kill their family. Henry has decided to take the kids with him for their safety. Paige tells him they're already safe at Magic School, and Henry is upset that she took them there without talking to him. Paige tells Henry that the kids are staying where they are and that he can't keep them safe. Henry also doesn't feel like she can keep them safe either. Paige is upset with Henry because he did not comfort her regarding their situation with Prue; but instead acted as if she was supposed to know this would happen. Henry tells Paige that coming back was a mistake and then angrily leaves their house.

Back in the present, Knox is still trying to kill them when Paige channels her anger and manages to orb all three of them to Cupid's Temple, where they discover a blood bath and Prue holding Phoebe up by her neck. As Prue notices them, she drops Phoebe down to her death below. Paige quickly orbs out and catches Phoebe. Piper, meanwhile, is held by Knox and confronted by Prue. When Piper punches Prue, trying to snap her out of her sadistic ways, Paige orbs her out in the nick of time. The Charmed Ones try to orb out with Coop but fail, so Paige has to orb the three of them away. Prue turns back into her true self. She wants to go after her sisters, but Knox informs her that she is above them and she turns back into Patience. Coop begs Prue to stop; telling her that he and Phoebe have a family and that Phoebe is pregnant. Prue ominously smiles and replies that she is too.

As the sisters return to the attic, Piper suggests that they find out if it is really Prue who is doing this or if Heremus's essence is possessing her. As the sisters begin a spell, Amelia, Darryl and Andy arrive at the manor. Amelia is not surprised that they are working up a spell she was going to suggest. In the attic, the spell composes of Prue's blood on a picture of her recent form, but when a figure arrives, the sisters are shocked to see Patience, who immediately tells them to go and get the front door.

Downstairs, Piper and Phoebe are as happy to see Andy as Paige is surprised to finally see him. Phoebe is angry to see Amelia though and doesn't know why she is helping them after what happened last time, but unknown to the rest of them, Amelia has more than a dozen souls screaming at her to save them. Phoebe, ultimately, decides to let go of their past and accept Amelia's help in stopping Prue and the Old Ones.

Patience reveals to the sisters everything that has happened to Prue since she inhabited her body. She insists that it is Prue who is doing all of this. She explains that while Heremus was destroyed, all of his power clung to the most powerful being which is Prue, and that the sister is constantly at war with who she used to be and who she is now. She says that while she was trying to get out, Prue possessed her body, and when she merged with the All, all Patience could do was watch. The Grimoire inside Prue was reaching out for something old and powerful, and so one night when she was asleep, her will extended her power and reached out for Tyler, unlocking his Archai power within him. When Prue's mind still wasn't powerful enough to access the whole of the All, she saved Kyra from her fate and turned her human, taking her power of demonic foresight that enabled her to sort of see into herself and the All.

Then, she gives the reason surrounding Cole's death and Prue putting Benjamin's soul in his son's body. She explains that sacrifice is truly power and that Cole's sacrifice and Ben's past sacrifice to save his son, were so powerful together. Prue used Ben as an anchor for spells, managing to journey inside her mind for answers to what she was doing. When she found the part of Patience that was still inside, Prue destroyed it. She insists that she is sorry, that their sister has been long gone, and that she is no longer there. Patience says that she isn't either and then fades out. The sisters want to know if Amelia and Andy have a plan, who tell them that they have a crazy plan.

Through a spell, the sisters and Andy enter Darryl's body in order to connect to Prue's mind. Andy lets them know that they have to show their undying love for Prue in her mind.

Old-one-sacrifices

Meanwhile in Salem, Prue is killing Knox's body and release his seeds which inhabit the missing Knox Academy students who are unconscious around a tied-up Kyra, Ben, Coop and Tyler. As a seed inhabits Tyler, he is forcefully made to open portals in the sky, releasing the Old Ones.

Back at the manor, Henry, who seems both guilty about his fight with Paige and worried about her safety, shows up to check on her. Henry admits to himself that he's just afraid for Paige and their family and feels helpless, which is why he lost his temper in the first place. Henry goes to the attic only to find Darryl, Andy, and Amelia. As he makes his presence known, Paige's astral self calls out Henry's name, slightly leaving Darryl's body, which Henry witnesses for himself. Amelia orders him to stay where he is and takes herself, Darryl, and Andy away to Salem. However, since Henry was still touching Darryl's shoulder at the time, he accidentally tagged along with them.

Prue-andy-reunited

When they arrive in Salem, they see Prue holding the Ancient Athame and the demons escaping the portals. While Henry and Amelia distract Prue, Darryl surprises her and manages to touch Prue, transferring the sisters and Andy into Prue's mind where they meet her true self again. As Prue apologizes for everything she has done and tells them that she loves them, including Paige, Heremus's dark influence on Prue interrupts, destroying the family moment. Prue sends the sisters and Andy out of her mind, believing that they tried to hurt her again.

When Amelia tries to attack Prue, Prue throws some sort of lightning at her, presumably knocking her out and ending her connection with Andy, causing him to fade out and return to the afterlife. Apparently, Piper and Paige have a secret plan. and Paige faces off with Prue as Piper and Phoebe run to release Coop. As they release Coop, he reveals that he heard Dominus say they need a human sacrifice and the blood of a twice blessed mortal to bring back the Old Ones. Piper, surprising Phoebe, reveals that her and Paige will take care of it, and she orders Coop to take himself and a pregnant Phoebe to Magic School and stay there until everything is over.

When Henry tries to attack Prue, she becomes angry at him for leaving and hurting Paige. Her eyes glow and she turns him to stone. Prue throws Paige at him, surprisingly not destroying him...yet. As Prue is angry that Paige got to marry someone and have a family, she holds the Ancient Athame tight. Paige, on the ground, begs her to stop, but Prue simply says no and swings the athame away, shedding blood.
