Phoebe tells Coop she loves him. With Billie still wary of going against the Charmed Ones, Christy introduces her to the demon Dumain, who Billie thought was an imaginary friend, and who secretly answers to the ghosts of the Triad. The Charmed Ones call the magical community for help, which Dumain thinks could be useful for swaying Billie to his side. His plan is to discredit the Charmed Ones by putting curses on them while sending demons against the magical community.
Tropes
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: The leprechaun Andrew swears off helping Paige...until the magical community is attacked and he literally begs Paige for help.
- Broken Pedestal: The raison d'etre of Christy; to turn the magical community against the Charmed Ones. She also wants Billie to think the same.
- Call-Back:
- Dumain shows Billie a clip from "Chris-Crossed" of the Bad Future that Chris travelled from to convince her that the Charmed ones and their progeny are evil.
- Dumain reuses curses from previous episodes: Paige's inner truth is turned into an obsession, Piper becomes a perfect housewife and Phoebe gives in to her lust for Coop.
- Continuity Nod: One nymph reminds the magical community of all the Big Bads the sisters stopped before.
- Cyanide Pill: Phoebe and Paige use a truth potion on Creo and another demon and ask them whom they are working for. Unable to lie, the demons immediately vanquish each other.
- Intimate Open Shirt: Coop's shirt ends up unbuttoned during his and Phoebe's makeout session. It's still open as the Lust is expelled from her.
- Oh, Crap!: Each sister says this after their curse wears off and they realise they wouldn't help the magical community because of it.
- Remember the New Guy?: This episode introduces Dumain, who was Billie's imaginary friend as a child, never mentioned before now. Of course, she'd have no reason to mention him to the sisters, and it does at least explain why the symbol was found drawn in Christy's diary after her kidnapping.
- Revenge Myopia: Christy twists the truth to say it's justified to kill Piper and leave her children motherless when their own parents' death was somehow caused by her. She conveniently forgets to mention that she and Billie vanquished the demon who did the killing, and she herself vanquished the one who ordered it personally.
- Sugar Apocalypse: The magical community - leprechauns, wood nymphs, fairies, elves, ogres, gnomes - are all massacred by demons. Bonus points for the fairies resembling children, and one of them appearing to be Thistle from Season 3.
