Lost and Bound
Phoebe tells Cole about her favorite classic TV show, Bewitched. She loves this show, but is concerned with becoming an old-fashioned housewife. Cole asks Phoebe to marry him and offers her Grams's ring. Phoebe puts on the ring, and it glowed ominously.
A young boy, Tyler, is about to be sent to The Academy . He does not want to go, and as he becomes angry, his bed catches fire.
Leo and Piper are having a small spat; Leo wants to bind their future child's powers, while Piper does not.
Paige has recommended Cole for a job at social services; his first assignment is to deal with a slumlord. Tyler, meanwhile, has been brought in; he is unwilling to talk, and he ends up setting fire to a wastebasket. His foster parents appear, and it turns out that they are demons. Paige brings Tyler to the manor, where Piper explains that he is a magical being.
Phoebe acts more and more like an old-fashioned housewife.
The foster parents appear at the manor. They attack with energy balls, but Tyler sets them on fire. Piper shows Tyler the Book of Shadows and finds the entry for demonic bounty hunters--his foster parents. They then find the entry for a firestarter--Tyler. The foster parents were going to send Tyler to serve the Source.
Another bounty hunter appears in the kitchen, but Phoebe is unwilling to fight him. Piper blasts him to bits.
Cole attacks the slumlord, and ends up getting fired.
Phoebe flashes into black and white, to everyone's surprise.
Leo and Piper orb to the academy, and Tyler jumps on to them as they go. They are confronted by demons. Piper blasts one of them, and the others let them in.
Phoebe continues to flash into black and white. Paige realizes the connection to Bewitched, a black and white show in its first season.
Leo, Piper and Tyler meet with Ludlow, who runs the Academy. Tyler attempts to set Ludlow on fire, but Ludlow survives and Piper tries to secretly freeze him but also fails. Ludlow magically freezes Tyler and then flings Leo and Piper out of the academy gate. Outside, Leo tries to orb back inside but fails as the acadamy gate has a force shield.
Phoebe is now black and white full time. Cole realizes that she became so when she put on Grams's ring. Paige orbs the ring into her hand and Phoebe returns to normal. Paige finds an inscription that Grams used to curse the ring. The sisters and Leo return to the academy, but are unable to get through the gate until Tyler's screams cause Piper to focus all of her power and blow the gate open. The group makes their way to Ludlow's office where Piper blasts him, but he survives so they use a Power of Three hiaku written by Paige to vanquish Ludlow. Leo heals Tyler and they leave.
Piper offers Tyler a potion to bind his powers and Paige finds him a nice new foster home nearby so he can have a nice normal life.
Phoebe tosses the ring into the bathtub drain.
