Plot

Attacked by demons and faced with the loss of Leo, Piper fights to stay alive with a little help from an old 'friend'. Drake's life ends at midnight. And Leo's punishment has now been decided. He is sent without memories to find his way back home, with the Elders or the sisters.

Leo's anxiously waited judgment by the Elders for his avatar episode finally arrives. To his stunned horror, the verdict is not to impose a punishment but a mandatory 'test', which will determine whether his fate is to resume duty as an alder, without mortal ties, or to join his family as a regular mortal without any supernatural powers. Therefore he's dropped, memory-wiped, in a Texan small town, where his war medic background kicks in, and Elder Odin tries to steer him away from the Charmed Ones forever. Drake spends his last hours before his contractual midnight demise inspiring the sisters to look for Leo while even Piper seems ready to give up love, but Cole has his own agenda for Drake.—KGF Vissers

Already stressed out awaiting word on Leo's fate, Piper is attacked by demon assassins and ends up in a coma. Stuck in the cosmic void between life and death, Piper's spirit is surprised to find Cole's spirit waiting for her and even more surprised when he tells her that he is there to help keep her and Leo together, which he hopes will restore Phoebe's faith in love. Meanwhile, Leo is stripped of his powers and memory and put in the world somewhere as a test to see if he will remain an Elder or become human. The Elders cheat on the test and lead Leo to becoming an Elder again, but with Cole's help, Piper manages to reach out to Leo and he jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge and "falls from grace," becoming mortal again. Phoebe, Paige and Leo return home to find that Drake has had Wyatt use the healing powers he inherited from his father to heal Piper. Later, in Magic School, Drake says his goodbyes to Phoebe and heads off to die alone. There it is revealed that Drake has been working with Cole the whole time and it was Cole's spirit who set him up with the Sorcerer to become mortal. Cole's spirit is also the one who sent the assassins after Piper, but it was all part of a plot by Cole to get Phoebe to not give up on love. He sent Drake to Phoebe to remind her and like Cole, Drake fell in love with Phoebe which both admit isn't hard to do. Drake dies and moves on, while Cole is content with his afterlife as a spirit that can never move on due to his horrible deeds as he prevented Phoebe from having that fate.
