Billie is in the kitchen getting some food for Christy, who is free again, when Piper enters with boxes. She's complaining about all the errands she has to run: check on Chris, do grocery shopping, pick up Wyatt early from preschool, bake cookies for his Valentine's Day party, and drop off misdelivered supplies to P3. Piper finally realizes that Billie's also in the room and that she was being insensitive to what Billie is going through. Billie tells Piper that she's worried that she'll never get through to Christy, but Piper reassures her by telling her to just give Christy some time and be there for her before leaving. Billie enters her room, but finds Christy cowering in the corner. She tries to reassure Christy that she's safe now, but Christy only tells her "They're coming".
A man orbs into the manor; Paige orbs a lamp at him, but he catches it, identifies himself as Simon Marks, and claims to be Paige's future husband. He claims that the Marks and Warren families worked together during the Salem witch trials, and that 40 oracles and soothsayers had predicted his marriage to Paige, "plus a wizard or two". Paige tells him of Henry and Simon makes fun of him, always calling him "Harry". Paige and Phoebe orb out. Simon orbs to Piper who is out grocery shopping and tries to state his case, but she tells him off. Backing out of her parking space, she bumps her car into that of Greg, her former beau last seen in "I Dream Of Phoebe".
Billie tries to talk Christy into telling her who's coming for her. Paige tries to compile a list of possible demons, while Phoebe makes some potions. Paige is also complaining about Simon to Phoebe. Henry comes to the door for their lunch date and Paige tries to wave him off, but Henry refuses to run away. Piper has picked up Wyatt and has finally returned home with the groceries. Christy has a panic attack, and then strangely gains composure, saying that "they" are coming now. Piper, Wyatt, Paige, and Henry are all having lunch together. Billie and Christy come downstairs and warn the Charmed Ones, as three demons shimmer in. Piper, Paige, and Billie fight off the demons while Wyatt orbs upstairs. Henry is wounded on the shoulder by a fireball. Christy is revealed to have the power of Pyrokinesis and the demons finally shimmer out. Phoebe runs downstairs with potions and learns of the attack. Paige heals Henry, who reluctantly agrees to leave.
The surviving demons summon the Triad, the supreme evil. The demons had held Christy for them, and all the demons want Christy back. Piper's in the middle of baking cookies when Greg appears at the manor, offering Piper a deal to get their cars fixed cheaply. He notices the smell of smoke. Piper gives him an excuse when he notices the burnt couch. The smoke alarm goes off and Greg offers to watch Wyatt while Piper goes to check on the cookies. Simon orbs in behind Greg's back and mistakes him for Henry. Paige throws Simon out. Piper feels guilty about spending time with Greg while Leo's frozen, but Paige convinces her and she leaves with Greg.
Simon orbs into Henry's office, and they meet over coffee. They argue over Paige, and at last Simon conjures a glove, slaps Henry with it, and pompously challenges Henry to a duel.
Piper and Greg are catching up at the fire station while Wyatt plays on the fire truck. Greg has noticed that Leo isn't around. Piper reassures him that Leo has just been away lately. Phoebe calls Piper and asks her to come home and help them find the demons. Piper asks Greg to watch Wyatt and leaves for the manor. Phoebe and Paige find Billie on fire; Christy had attacked her and left with a demon. Paige orbs her jacket away. Christy had heard voices calling her the key to the ultimate power. Phoebe says that Christy had contacted the demons, as they were all she knew; Billie doesn't believe this.
Henry calls Paige and asks what she knows about duels. She orbs to an alley and finds Simon thrashing Henry by using telekinesis to hit him with a metal rod. At last, Henry tells Simon off, because he actually cares about Paige, whereas, Simon just wants a trophy witch. Paige also tells Simon off, giving Henry a window of opportunity to punch him and knock him down, and at last Simon concedes and orbs away.
Billie senses Christy's call, but Phoebe and Piper suspect a trap. The witches reverse the call-a-lost-witch spell and Billie finds herself in the demons' lair in front of Christy. The demons appear and Billie appeals to Christy. Christy, at last, conjures a huge fireball, which combined with Billie's projection power, destroys the demons. Phoebe and Piper undo the spell and Billie and Christy return to the manor.
Greg brings Wyatt back home from the fire station. Greg tries to kiss Piper, but she tells him that Leo is coming back. Paige orbs Henry to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, which has become their "place". Henry proposes marriage, and Paige accepts.
Christy finally opens up to Billie. They look through old pictures from before Christy was kidnapped. Christy says that she was being brainwashed and the demons made her attack Billie. Billie promises not to let anyone harm her. Phoebe is eavesdropping, but Piper chases her away.
At Magic School, the Triad announces that Christy is in position.
