 After realizing that he will never get Phoebe back in this reality and getting tired of her sisters  constant attempts at vanquishing him, Cole agrees to become an avatar. The first thing he does with his new powers is throw himself into an alternate reality where he is once again Belthazor and Phoebe and Piper never met Paige, meaning the Power of Three was never reconstituted. Paige herself is thrown into the opposite reality also when a sneeze makes her orb during Cole s spell. While Cole attempts to live his life happily with Phoebe as his bride, Paige tries to convince her sisters that she is their long lost half sisters and get them to help her vanquish Cole once and for all. The only problem is no one believes her claims!
