[edit] Episode Guide
Piper and Paige fight demons in an alley; one spits thorns and one of the thorns hits Piper. Leo is unable to heal her because he is to face the Elders' judgment: he is to be made human and his memories erased. This is a test of whether he belongs with the Elders, or with Piper.
Leo finds himself stranded and alone in rural Texas. A pickup almost hits him and flips over; he pulls the driver out before the truck explodes. He cannot heal, but his medical training proves useful. He remembers his experience on Guadalcanal.
Leo goes to the local sheriff, who promises to find out who he is. The paramedics had thought his job of patching up the driver was professional. He has a flashback of facing a demon.
Piper, after calling Darryl, passes out. She finds herself out of her body -- and faced with Cole. The other sisters find Piper, but they are unwilling to call for the Elders. Drake checks the Book of Shadows.
Cole tells Piper that he is here to help keep her and Leo together. Piper is skeptical, given Cole's past.
Leo is in a diner, when the waitress notes the tan line where his wedding ring once was. He has a brief memory of putting a ring on Piper's hand. Outside the diner, he finds a trucker going to San Francisco and asks for a ride.
Paige and Phoebe are in the police station with Darryl. An officer tells him that a John Doe of matching description saved a man's life in Texas. Paige and Phoebe orb to the diner and inquire after Leo. They learn he is heading west.
Cole tells Piper that he doesn't want Phoebe to give up on love. This is why he wants Piper and Leo together. He is cursed to live unloved and doesn't want Phoebe to share that fate.
Paige and Phoebe catch up with Leo -- but the truck driver orbs him away. In that moment, Piper revives, but only Leo can heal her soul. Paige and Phoebe orb to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge call for the Elders, and Leo and another elder answer. Leo doesn't remember the sisters. Piper, dying, calls to Leo, who hears and jumps from the bridge. Paige orbs him and Phoebe home, to find Wyatt has healed Piper.
This is Drake's last day of life. Phoebe thanks him for helping her move on; she has found her first real love since Cole. They share one last kiss before Drake walks away and closes the doors behind him. We learn at the end that the whole thing was set up by Cole -- Drake meeting the sorcerer, the thorn demons. Drake dies and his soul goes to heaven, leaving Cole walking here on Earth.
