Prue: He probably just hasn't found a safe way out yet, that's all.

Phoebe: But what if he can't? What is the brotherhood found him out?

Prue: Look, even if they did, he would put some sort of a spin on it to, you know, get out of it. Come on, you know Cole, he knows what he's doing. You don't make demon of the century without having a few tricks up your sleeve.

Phoebe: I just hope he's okay, Prue.
