When Phoebe and Paige are caught on tape using their powers by SFPD Inspector Sheridan, the Cleaners, beings who prevent the exposure of magic, cover up the situation by implicating their friend, detective Darryl Morris, as a murderer and in a huge time jump, end up sending him to death row to cover up the exposure of magic. The Haliwells' immediately go on the warpath and begin a fight to have the outcome reversed, initially summoning the Cleaners by deliberate acts that would expose magic if left unfixed. There confrontation proves inconclusive, and they learn their only recourse is to have a hearing in front of the mysterious Tribunal, which is a council that oversees all magic and made up of demons as well as Elders. Meanwhile, Inspector Sheridan nudged magically by Barbas, the demon of fear takes aim at the sisters with her partner Inspector Miles, and begins looking into the trail of disappearances and odd happenings over the last half decade starting with the collection of unsolved homicides SFPD Internal Affairs had sweated Andy Trudeau about. The sisters attempting to reverse the Cleaners' solution framing Darryl call a council of Demons and Elders who oversee all magic to convince them that Darryl should be set free. Instead the demon of fear, Barbas, who'd been empaneled as the prosecutor, turns the proceedings around on their head and puts the sisters on trial for recklessly abusing their powers. Meanwhile, Leo and Chris Wyatt work together to help free the sisters and Darryl, but the outcome leaves Phoebe stripped of her active powers as penance for occasional lapses in the past where she used magic to benefit herself.
