Beth was a client at Buckland Auction House. Claire Pryce forced Prue Halliwell to invite the professor and herself to Halliwell Manor where Piper was preparing dinner. At the manor, the professor revealed she knew a lot about the history of the manor. She said it was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1906 and that the house is said to be very powerful because it is located atop a Spiritual Nexus, a point of incredible energy. While inside the manor house, the professor was possessed by The Woogyman and was arrested the following day for assaulting Josh. ("Is There a Woogy in the House?")
