Muse to My Ears
Cole enters the kitchen and finds Phoebe there. She removes her apron, revealing a beautiful black dress. She informs him that she sent everyone away so that they could celebrate the fact Cole is finally fully human. After attempting to make a toast Cole tells her that he doesn't think it was a good idea to send away her sisters, especially since he doesn't have powers to protect her. He is worried about the rise of demonic factions now that the Source is injured. After some coaxing Phoebe convinces him to relax promising to pay attention to the fact later. Meanwhile, a politician is writing a speech. A Muse appears behind him and he begins to find his voice. A warlock named Devlin blinks in, however, and draws her into the Ring of Inspiration. He then kills the politician.
The next day Piper and Phoebe talk about Phoebe's date with Cole. Phoebe tells Piper that Cole spent the entire date talking about demonic factions and Piper suggests that it's easier for Cole to talk about demons than what's really on his mind. Phoebe asks Piper to elaborate and she brings up the fact Phoebe turned down Cole's marriage proposal. Piper suggests that Phoebe talk to Cole about it again. As Piper begins to head to P3 to plan a corporate party, Phoebe follows her and expresses concern about being attacked by demonic factions. She goes on to ask Piper if there's a protection potion she could make and Piper says she doesn't think there's such a thing as a protection potion. Phoebe reminds Piper that Cole is mortal now and this convinces her to make something, but only after she goes to P3. Phoebe volunteers herself and Paige to go in her place while Piper stays behind to create the potion.
Devlin and another warlock confront a demon with a glamouring power. The other warlock kills the demon and takes his power. Devlin convinces the other warlock to attack the Charmed ones while he gathers followers by embuing him with inspiration from the ring.
Phoebe and Paige convince a woman named Bev to throw a 40s themed party. After she leaves Cole joins them at P3. Phoebe hugs him and senses something different. Cole pulls out a gun from his belt, scaring them. Cole explains that he wants the gun to protect himself and Phoebe. Phoebe tells him that having a gun at the Manor makes things more dangerous not less. Leo orbs in and warns the sisters that Muses are disappearing, and the Elders are worried. The warlock from before blinks into P3 and overhears their conversation briefly. Phoebe takes away Cole's gun and hands it to Leo to give Darryl. Leo orbs away as Phoebe, Paige and Cole head to the Manor. The warlock shapeshifts into Leo and leaves P3 as well. The sisters consult the Book of Shadows and Phoebe feels a chill. A Muse, Melody, has appeared behind her and Phoebe casts a spell, making Melody visible. Melody tells the sisters about the Ring of Inspiration, and the warlock that is using it. "Leo" walks into the attic, but Piper figures out that he's really a warlock and calls for the real Leo. The fight ends when Piper blows the warlock up, but not before he hurts Phoebe.
The sisters, Leo and Cole find themselves inspired in different ways. Piper is inspired to cook, Paige is inspired to draw, Phoebe is inspired to write and Cole is inspired to head to the underworld to find out who the faction leader is because he knows the terrain. The extended presence of a Muse is causing tensions and a bit more creativity than usual, as Leo explains. Piper asks Cole to join her in the kitchen so he could tell her everything he knows about warlocks. Once they're in the kitchen she asks him to be patient with Phoebe on the marriage front. She turns her back on Leo and Cole for a second and this provides them with the opportunity to leave the kitchen to talk in private. A warlock who kills a demon can be punished by death, Cole explains, and he knows where they'll meet to discuss this betrayal. Leo thinks it's a bad idea to orb him to the underworld, but eventually agrees.
Paige draws Devlin at Melody's instruction. Meanwhile, Phoebe creates a spell and Piper is ready with a potion. In the underworld, Leo and Cole are seen by one of Cole's friends when he was Belthazor and he's forced to kill him to keep from getting discovered. Phoebe finds Cole missing and that Leo isn't answering his call. The sisters go ahead with their plan anyway. Paige focuses on the drawing and the ring orbs to her. A warlock comes in and tries to take the ring back, but the sisters vanquish him with a spell -- but Devlin follows, grabs the ring and draws Melody into it.
Leo and Cole return from the underworld, and tell the sisters about Devlin. The sisters mope, but Leo and Cole try to encourage them. Cole argues with Phoebe and he accuses her of not wanting to marry him. She admits that she doesn't know how to be a wife, but then makes a rhyme as she kisses him. Phoebe now tries to inspire her sisters.
The sisters prepare a potion and then speak a spell to bring them to Melody -- and find themselves at P3, where the party is in full swing. They realize that the warlocks are among the attendees. Piper is startled by Bev and drops her potion, which causes a flash -- and now Piper knows how to find the warlocks. She turns on the strobe lights to keep the warlocks from blinking, freezes the crowd starts blasting at warlocks, killing a few before offering the others the chance to run which they take. "Melody" has apparently escaped from the ring, but proves to be Devlin. Cole, meanwhile, has realized that the sisters are walking into a trap, and Leo realizes that the sisters are at P3. Leo and Cole orb to P3 (Leo promised not to orb Cole underground but he never promised about elsewhere); Cole punches Devlin and takes the ring back from him as he's trying to kill Phoebe. The sisters vanquish Devlin with a spell. Paige lets Melody out of the ring and the sister cast a spell to make Melody invisible again. The episode ends with Paige painting in her room, Piper and Leo spending time together in the kitchen as couple and Cole and Phoebe dancing the night away at P3.
