The Brotherhood of Thorn

Cole returns and visits Phoebe, asking her to cast a spell to quit his evil powers. However, while walking with Cole, Phoebe unsuccessfully tries to save a street preacher vanquishing a demon, and Cole claims that the demon was his brother. Cole tells the Halliwell sisters and Leo that he was a member of the powerful demoniac Brotherhood of Thorn. He proposes to join the brotherhood again undercover to disclose their evil intentions, but Prue and Pipers do not trust on Cole. Meanwhile, the brotherhood accepts Cole back with restrictions, since they suspect of his true intentions. Cole has to prove that he is evil killing an important businessman, while The Charmed Ones plan how to save the victim without jeopardizing Cole.

In this unfinished episode, Cole sacrifices his freedom to help the Halliwell sisters. Prue and Piper never trust on him while Phoebe truly believes he turned good. The sequel of this show is promising since we do not know what might happen to Cole. My vote is seven.
