Black as Cole
Phoebe and Cole pursue a demon that has killed several witches. Piper and Paige ponder Piper's future hopes to have a baby while Paige consults the Book of Shadows. She thinks she's found the demon she is looking for -- but it's Belthazor. A demon attacks Phoebe and Cole blasts him with an energy ball. The demon vanquished, Cole asks Phoebe to marry him.
In an alley, a demon kills a witch with an athame and takes a charm from her neck. The demon resembles a different-colored version of Belthazor and he too has a human form.
Phoebe ponders Cole's proposal. He assures her that he really does want to marry her, that this didn't just come out in the heat of battle. Downstairs, they hear a baby crying; Paige brought a mechanical baby from the clinic.
Leo says that a witch has been killed. The sisters call Darryl and proceed to the crime scene. Also present is assistant district attorney Sykes. A witch, Susan, with the same charm as the victim, a triple crescent, meets Phoebe. Phoebe has a premonition of Susan being killed by a Belthazor-like demon. The sisters and Susan go to the site of the premonition and use Phoebe as bait. The demon shimmers in and attacks, and Piper tries to freeze him; but another witch, Emma, shows up and tries to kill the demon. Emma tells the sisters that the demon killed her fiance, and she seeks revenge.
Sykes wants to see all of Darryl's recent case files. He calls Susan and asks her to come to his office.
Emma scries for the demon, and finds him -- at the manor.
Susan goes to Sykes's office with Leo. He closes the door and tries to kill Susan, but Leo orbs her out. Sykes follows them to the manor. Cole turns into Belthazor, Sykes assumes his demon form and the two demons fight. The mechanical baby is smashed in the process. Emma is upset, however, because the demon who killed her fiance was not Sykes, but Belthazor.
Cole doesn't remember killing Emma's fiance, but regrets his past. He fears, furthermore, that he may have to become fully demonic to beat Sykes. He asks Phoebe to be ready with the Belthazor vanquishing potion just in case. Phoebe tries to calm Emma, but she won't listen.
Paige and Phoebe prepare the potion to vanquish Sykes. Cole believes that Sykes will be in the mausoleum with an ambush. Cole, Paige and Phoebe go to the mausoleum and Cole recognizes a trap. Cole realizes that Sykes is after him, not the sisters, and the best way to him is through Phoebe.
Cole finds Sykes in the attic, pointing an athame at Phoebe. The two assume their demon forms and fight. Belthazor stabs Sykes and, as feared, he cannot turn back into Cole. Emma runs in and throws what she thinks is a vanquishing potion, but Phoebe had substituted a powers-stripping potion. Cole is now human without powers. Phoebe won't let Emma kill him.
Leo now has second thoughts about children, given what happened to the doll. Phoebe likewise has second thoughts about marrying Cole.
I wonder
