| - Piper and Leo begin behaving differently, dressing in traditional Hindi clothing and appearing very much in love. Leo is no longer concerned with Barbas. Piper is able to multi-task perfectly thanks to her extra hands. Phoebe feels like she's in a rut and Elise suggests she take a two-month sabbatical; she will hire a ghostwriter to continue writing her column. Phoebe meets the ghostwriter, Leslie. She is surprised to see that Leslie is a man, and kisses him within moments of meeting him due to the contagious effect of the spirits that entered Piper and Leo. Still, she is skeptical that a man can write her column as well as a woman. Paige consults the Book of Shadows and finds what's got into Leo and Piper: Shakti, the Goddess of Creation, and Shiva, the God of Destruction. They are invoked at weddings, as symbols of the ultimate lovers, but if they consummate their love again the universe will be destroyed and recreated. Paige and Phoebe send Leo after Barbas in order to keep him separated from Piper. He disappears in a burst of lightning. Barbas has gathered a gang of demons and explains his plan. He wants them to attack Chris, so that Leo will make a fatal mistake in his rage and the demons can take on the unprotected Charmed Ones. Paige goes to Magic School looking for information on Shakti and Shiva and finds it being closed down. With Gideon dead, there's no one to run the school. Barbas's minions attack at the manor, but they were not counting on Shakti. The six-armed Piper easily defeats them with lightning and energy balls. On discovering Barbas, she blasts him with lightning and he flames away. Paige and Phoebe try to keep Leo from finding out, but he finds the nursery in shambles. Darryl and Sheridan break the door of the manor and try to arrest Phoebe, who did not answer the summons, but Leo gestures and blasts Sheridan into a wall, injuring her. He then disappears in a flash of lightning. When Sheridan comes to, she remembers that she is there to look for something, but doesn't remember what. She doesn't remember being attacked, and Phoebe covers, by saying that they are remodeling, and that Detective Sheridan had slipped. Leo again attacks Zola, taunted by Barbas, and kills him this time. Afterwards, he feels only remorse. Piper assures Leo that "nobody else has to know." Paige casts a spell and expels Shakti and Shiva from Piper and Leo. Since Piper wounded Barbas, Paige scries for him using his blood. Paige and Phoebe track him to his lair. Paige throws a potion and Barbas says he'll be back before he explodes. "Fear always comes back," he screams, as he falls into a pile of dust...again. Before dusting out, he cries, "You set me up!" to an unseen entity.
