The rest of the season focuses on the sisters helping Billie control and expand her abilities and eventually searching for her sister Christy, who she believes was abducted by a demon when they were young.
While, to begin with, they must hunt and destroy demons who have begun taking control in their absence, the Charmed Ones are also told of "the Ultimate Power", which they must face in one final battle. Once Billie reunites with Christy, it becomes clear that she has been brainwashed by the newly-resurrected Triad
into thinking the Halliwells are evil and that she and her sister have the power to destroy them.
Piper and Leo go through marital issues as Leo adjusts to his newly-human life, while Phoebe begins to want more independence from her sisters and is sent a Cupid (Coop) to help her find love, because of all the sacrifices she has made as a Charmed One. Paige begins to embrace her Whitelighter side more fully as she takes on more charges. Through this she meets and begins a romance with Henry Mitchell.
