[edit] Synopsis
Piper notices that the Angel of Death is watching over them, but what she doesn't know is that he is actually there for Leo. After the Angel of Death tells her his target, Piper immediately creates a spell that turns every man in the city into Leo.
Meanwhile, Billie has made a break in the case surrounding her sister. After tracking the demon, though, she is surprised, and the demon taken. When the sisters are told about the Angel of Death, Billie decides to go off on her own when Phoebe declares that she will stay to help Leo.
Back home, the Angel of Death eventually finds Leo waiting in a taxi outside his son's school. After Leo requests a bit more time, the Angel disappears. Leo starts to get out of the taxi when it is rammed in the side by a tow truck. He survives, but surgery is required to see if there is internal bleeding.
Billie is thrown by Burke when she tracks him down, but Phoebe shows up just in time. At home, Paige tells Piper that there may be a magical reason for the truck ramming the taxi. Piper tells this to the Angel of Death. However, he is not sure how to answer her question. Time passes, and an Avatar appears, followed by an Elder. Piper, however, tells the Elder that she is "trying to save my husband. Any way I can." She interrupts their argument, only to find that they agree that they can't help her. When she demands to talk to whoever has the authority to tell her what's going on, they advise that she should have her sisters nearby.
Paige is talking with Henry and requests to talk to someone in jail. She starts interrogating the driver of the truck, starting by taking him to the attic and giving him a truth potion. However, she hits a dead end when he starts babbling, and Piper tells her to "get rid of him".
Out with Billie, Phoebe is suddenly pulled away back to the attic. In the attic, the sisters join hands and summon an Angel of Destiny. The Angel tells them that there is one battle left and that they will need to lose Leo in order to become strong enough to survive this fight. To get there, they enlist Burke's help to freeze Leo. They grant him amnesty, and the Angel summons Leo's body. Piper reassures Leo that he's safe, and that he has to trust her. In between tears, she apologizes, then says a last "I love you" and one last kiss before stepping back and letting him be frozen. The Angel of Destiny tells Billie that she will find her sister, and Piper that Leo will be returned if the last battle is won. In tears, the sisters and Billie leave. Burke, however, is surrounded by a whirl-wind and burned from the inside out by a fire that also destroys the earlier demon.
At home, Paige goes to Henry for comfort. Phoebe plays with the boys. Piper cries in the garage while looking at the truck Leo. Turning, she extinguishes the light to the garage and walks away.

[edit] Trivia
- The title of this episode is a play on words for the Spanish farewell phrase Ve Con Dios, which translates to "Go with God."
- Due to budget constraints, this episode was written to have the Leo character removed from the series for a time in order to cut actor Brian Krause's salary from the budget. The same thing was done at the beginning of the season with actor Dorian Gregory. Coincidentally, the three main stars of the series received salary increases at the beginning of the season.
- This episode is the first time the Halliwell's garage is seen.
- Actor Simon Templeman reprises his role as the Angel of Death for the third time in this episode. He previously appeared in the season three Death Takes a Halliwell and the season seven Styx Feet Under.
- This is the last appearance of The Avatars.
- This episode was considered as Brian Krause's final episode of the season, leading to the cast to throw him a fairwell party even though he did return for the final two episodes.
- This is the second time the Angel Of Destiny has shown up except this is a different angel. The last episode to show the Angel Of Destiny is Witch Way Now?
