? About The Triad

The Triad were a council of evil under The Source's rule. They advised and directed demons and other evil beings in the ways of evil and in the ways to kill. However, at season three's beginning, Cole Turner, aka Belthazar, killed the three unholy demons in order to save his own life. Wait. Hold the phone, because The Triad is back. In the The Last Temptation of Christy episode of season eight, the trio returned. It appears that they were behind the Christy kidnapping 15 years ago, succeed in turning Christy and are guiding Christy toward turning Billie. But a question still remains: how can they be back? This little question has been bugging me for sometime now, so I did some digging. It took me a little longer than I expected and some spoilers to help, but now I have the answer. The Triad is back not as humans, but as ghosts. In The Last Temptation of Christy, the demons (Dreylock and his minions) guarding Christy "summoned," as in resurrected, The Triad. That's it, that is what I know. Doesn't give us much, now does it? Well, I've been thinking on that, too. And this is what I came up with. We know from previous Charmed episodes that ghosts can take corporeal form. For instance, Patty came back in season three's episode Just Harried for Piper's wedding, and she wasn't transparent. She also returned at the end of Charmed Again to meet her long, lost daughter Paige. And then there are the numerous times that Grams comes back in physical form, like in season five's fairytale episode and season eight's Still Charmed & Kicking episode. Thus, it's not hard to imagine that The Triad are ghosts, who have been working from the grave to accomplish their plan to rid the world of The Charmed Ones. So there is my answer to the question about The Triad. Sound good? Or is it totally wrong?
