Synopsis

Agent Brody convinces Paige to help him solve a mysterious string of accidents, only to discover that the demon Sarpedon is capturing innocents' Guardian angels and using them to protect himself from the forthcoming threat of a New Power. Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe convince Leo to go on a Vision Quest to face his demons. While on his Quest, Leo finds guidance from his son Chris, but awakens to find Piper and Phoebe killed by Sarpedon. An Avatar, part of the New Power, offers to bring them back to life if Leo turns over his free will.

Book of Shadows

Enemies

• Sarpedon: Sarpedon is a Celerity Demon who has been capturing Guardian Angels to make himself powerful and quick. He was using them so he would not be vanquished by the coming of the Avatars.

Allies

• Guardian Angels: See Guardian angel

Neutral beings

• Avatars: Avatars first appeared in the Season 5 episode Sam I Am and returned in Centennial Charmed (The 100th Episode). They wanted Cole Turner to become an Avatar, but it was too late when Cole was vanquished. They recently became major recurring characters. After they achieved their goal of getting The Charmed Ones and Leo to help get the world to become a "Utopia" where they dictate everything that happens, they were soon forced to give up this world when the Charmed Ones (the greatest force of good) and Zankou (the leader of the demons) realized their plan and threatened them with death. They are indirectly to blame for the deaths of Cole Turner and Kyle Brody.

Spells

• To See Guardian Angels: Show me what the evil sees, even if at lightning speeds.
