On February 2005, the bartender George was able to escape the loop by possessing Mike, a friend of Darryl Morris. Darryl then asked the Charmed Ones for help and Drake and Phoebe visited the club. They discovered that it was the count who had made the deal with Sargon, whom the sisters had already vanquished three years earlier. Phoebe and Drake then went back to the club to confront the demon, but found the count waiting for them instead. The count shot Drake and then possessed his body.
