Luc and the Halliwell twins begin the arduous climb up Mount Olympus. After some angst ridden guilt from Luc, Victor loses his usual calm demeanor and makes the climb in his underwear. Eventually the three make it to the summit, passing through three doors along the way, each one requiring one of Luc's relics from previous challenges to open it.
At the Refugee Camp, many of the camp's inhabitants gather in the food tent and begin to discuss battle strategies, each one more eager than the last to take out Pain. During the course of the conversation, it is revealed that many of those present are magical or have magical ties. Jessie, unable to cope with this, leaves in a huff just as Pain arrives with her eyesless minions in tow.
On the Isle of Amazons, The Source, Seer and Daeva head within an ancient cavern to something known as The Well, while Eric, Preston and Isabelle remain at the entrance to protect them from Amazons. However, not just any Amazons show up. Queen Delphi herself comes along, fearing what is being done at The Well. With her is her most capable general, Denae, and more than a dozen Amazons.
The Coven strikes out on their own after bickering some more over what to do. Finally, they allow Li to teleport them all and they end up at Castle Llyr. Little do they know that the sisters are already at the Castle, reclaiming their home from the Halliwells. They speak with Wyatt, Piper and Emiko, and inform them of the broken deal thanks to Wyatt's sacrifice of his destiny.
Luc and the twins use the final artifact to open a portal on the summit of Olympus. It opens a gateway, which all three pass through and end up in the god realm of Olympus. Using the caduceus once more, Luc secures a golden urn, which he drops and thus releases the essences of the twelve Olympian gods. Immediately, the three present are struck down by three essences - Hermes (Luc), Athena (Victor) and Aphrodite (Melinda). Luc and Melinda both leave - Luc for the refugee camp in San Fran and Melinda to Magic School. Victor takes the opportunity to get some answers, summoning the Fates. They inform him that this all was predestined and the gods are to stop the titans once again - but then must relinquish the god essences once it is finished.
Meanwhile, the Source is successful at releasing four titans from their prison in Tartarus just as the battle outside intensifies. Feeling the earth move, literally, from the successful ritual, Queen Delphi makes her way inside, where she battles with Daeva who ends up killing her. Isabelle is struck by the essence of Hephaestus as the battle continues. The Source, furious with the men's incompetence, leave with the women. Preston and Eric are then to fend for themselves. Eric eventually dies and the Seer returns for Preston. The titans also leaves to find out exactly what happened to the world and gods in their absence.
Aurora, Selene and Celeste reveal themselves to be the infamous Wyrd Sisters and evict everyone from their island as soon as Pain is dealt with. However, they get a vision of events in the refugee camp and send Wyatt and company to deal with it. Aella, a mysterious woman, soon joins the sisters and begins to discuss the general goings ons of Avalon and the world since their departure.
Back at the camp, Pain kills James Roberts and gets into a battle with Luc while her priests run around with orders not to kill anyone as Pain plans on having a feast. When Wyatt and company arrives, Piper freezes the scene sans the gods and witches in the room. At this point, three more god essences - Zeus, Hera and Poseidon - find their way into hosts - Wyatt, Vanessa and Evie. The amount of power they have scares Pain away but not before she grabs a hold of Jessie. All of the gods then leave; Piper in despair at losing her son.
The Coven begins to search the castle and run into Julianna's old friend, Chris Halliwell, who seems to be awfully chipper considering the state of the world. Leaving Jules and Thomas to speak with Chris, the other three girls go off and explore. At one point, Li teleports them all into the throne room where the sisters are speaking with Aella. She demands answers from the sisters, pissing them off in the process. The three of them are booted out without any answers and sent back to Jules and Thomas. Chris finds out about this, and in a tantrum, delivers the news to the Coven that their mentors are the Wyrd Sisters.
The Magic School bunch begins to wander the school. Some of them even get an eyeful when Melinda Halliwell shows up and begins going at it with Constantine in the library - until she is called away by Zeus. The final five essences enter the school and find their respective hosts - Constantine/Artemis, Jenna/Apollo, Aleron/Demeter, Ali/Ares and Adrienne/Hestia. Immediately after, Piper and Emiko arrive at the school with the refugees from San Fran with the exception of Dr. Bradshaw, who wished to remain behind in case any others came along. Noah and CeCe show them around the school and to their rooms while Emiko and Piper speak of current events. Emiko is disheartened when Piper reveals that nothing can be done about the gods unless the hosts willingly release them.
Elsewhere in the world - and Underworld - Pain switches bodies, jumping into Jessie's form and then kills Charly, who had been a thorn of sorts lately. Barbas is in the Wasteland and has a plan of escape along with his partner, Maeve. The titans discover no traces of the gods and decide to cause a little havoc to draw them out.
Finally, the gods convene on Olympus and discuss. Unfortunately, ten gods with ten different ideas doesn't get Zeus anything except a migraine. He dismisses them all with orders to stay away from the titans and holds a private meeting with Ares and Athena.
