Piper is horrified to discover that Grams doesn't want anything to do with her great-grandson, simply because he's a boy. Grams isn't displaying much love for the males of the species - she tells Piper that she won't officiate the Wiccanning because Wyatt is a boy. What's more, she implies that Piper must have seriously screwed up to have a boy-child in the first place. Paige casts a truth spell on her boyfriend, Nate, to see if he'll be able to deal with the witch thing. He seems fine with it - but reveals that he has a wife and two kids.

Paige is distracted by these apocalyptic dreams she keeps having. She fears something nasty is coming, and she wants to figure out what it is. Her sisters think she needs a break. Piper is, uncharacteristically, relaxed, even serene. Things have started to go right again - Wyatt is sleeping through the night, she and Leo are going to couple's counseling and therefore working through their issues, and some of the romance has come back into her marriage.

She's much harder to vanquish than they thought. She turns Paige to stone, but before she can destroy Phoebe, Chris, a mysterious Whitelighter, orbs in and fends her off. He claims to be from the future, someone who saw the world go to hell when the Titans destroyed The Power of Three. The sisters don't know whether to trust him. Meanwhile, Chronos decides that Titan-babe is more trouble than she's worth and smites her. Chris tells Piper that the only way the Titans were defeated before was that the Elders gave mortals immense powers.

She gets them back under control, then goes off to defend an elder under attack. They rescue him, but find the Titans' powers too much to handle. Piper stews over her missing husband. She's pissed as all hell that Leo has gone AWOL. The other sisters are missing Leo too - they need his advice. Chris orbs back in to check on the situation. Paige and Phoebe prove helpless without Leo, and Piper is on modified strike until she can talk to her husband again. Besides, she says - she doesn't trust Chris' motives in all of this. Piper is so full of rage and pain at the thought of losing her husband that she has power to spare - when the Titans show up, she opens a chasm into the earth and Paige helps to cast the bad guys into it. Leo congratulates the sisters on defeating the Titans, then tries to take their god-powers back. But Piper is still caught up in her pain - she flees. She eventually confronts Leo "up there". Leo makes her understand that he'll always love her, but that their love made it possible for him to evolve into an Elder. He has no choice but to stay. She gives up her godhood, and he takes her pain away. The next day, Piper is suspiciously serene. Her sisters are disturbed - this isn't Piper. As they go to talk to her, Leo appears to Chris. Chris won't be returning to the future, he says, but, as a reward for helping to defeat the Titans, he'll become Whitelighter to the Charmed Ones. Leo warns Chris that he'll be watching. But as Leo orbs away, Chris blows him up.
