As with all future whitelighters, DJ woke up and was summoned to the council of Elders and given the choice to be reborn as whitelighters or move on to the afterlife upon their death. After talking things through with Andy, his whitelighter, DJ became a whitelighter, however only on the stipulation that he could continue as a police inspector in order to help future generations; of witches and whitelighters to find their way and protect them and was sent back to the bank in a body replica of his former body, and surrounded by orbs.

With the help of the Halliwell family they moved his body into hiding and he returned to his career, however the first thing he did when he got back to work was take leave and with his family told them that he had died and was now a whitelighter.
