Phoebe hears pebbles striking her window. She goes to the balcony and finds Michael with the roses. She does not see Coop underneath the balcony, coaching Michael. Phoebe hears a knock on the door; Michael has struck out. Christy is at the door and shows [[Billie]] her injured arm. Christy tells Billie about the fight with the Noxon.

Christy magically eavesdrops on the Charmed Ones. The Charmed Ones try to find the Noxon, but the [[Power of Three]] doesn't work with Paige in Henry's head. Phoebe calls for Coop, who at last separates Paige from Henry. The sisters try again and locate the Noxon. Billie throws a potion and she and Christy also find the Noxon. Billie throws a potion, but Piper blasts it in midair. Christy channels her power through Billie's projection power and heats the Noxon up from the inside, blowing him up. The Jenkinses teleport away. The Charmed Ones are stunned--they just saw a demon that supposedly couldn't be vanquished get vanquished. They now believe Bille and Christy may very well be the Ultimate Power.
