Mr. Cowan told Paige she could not help everyone, which she reluctantly accepted.

After winning the case, Paige complimented Cole, though she quickly realized it was all about Phoebe after all. She told Cole was still a demon that that his evil side would surface soon. Paige later helped Lumen and her sisters vanquish Samhain. When celebrating at P3, Paige decided to tell Phoebe what had happened.
When Paige learned Mr. Mathison had disappeared, she suspected Cole was involved. She then worked with Darryl and they discovered Cole had killed Mr. Mathison just outside of P3.

When they attempted to vanquish him, Piper was injured and they fled. Paige later informed Mrs. Mathison about her ex-husband's disappearance.
In an attempt to learn more about Adam, Paige visited all the sisters' magical contacts, though she was unable to find anything. She later helped her sisters to send Adam back to Pugatory and they succeeded due to Cole's sacrifice.
While spending the night with Evan, Paige used tarot cards to predict her future and learned that she would soon need to make a difficult decision concerning her love life. Her prediction came true when Glen appeared the following day, telling her he wanted to try again. Paige admitted what was going on to Evan, who told her she needed to choose.
Paige had a dream about being with Glen and Evan at the same time and later talked to her sister about her choice. Paige considered casting a spell, but her sister warned her against it. The conversation was interrupted by Kit. Paige visited Glen to talk and they ended up kissing, though Paige ended it when she felt guilty. She later ran into Ava, who told her that Evan had been through a lot and deserves a quick answer. After she and her sisters helped Kit and vanquished the warlock Kimyra, Paige realized Glen was part of her past, not her future, which led her to choose Evan.
While at P3 with Evan and Phoebe, Paige tried to convince her sister to date a hot guy that flirting with her, though Phoebe replied that she wasn't ready. During the conversation, Paige's own experimental phases came up, much to the surprise of Evan. The sisters and Leo later attempted to catch a superhero that Phoebe had encountered. It was later revealed the hero had gained powers from the demon Raif. When the demon took control, the sisters fought the hero and managed to extract the powers and vanquish the demon.
