Be Careful What You Witch For

Prue's room. Phoebe picks up Prue's billfold and has a B&W premonition of the bottle/vase/urn thing rolling under the wicker loveseat in the sunroom.

Parlor. Phoebe tells Piper that she's had a premonition, but doesn't know what it means. The phone rings. It's a tearful Prue Teen. She expositions about the attack. Piper finds out that she's in Golden Gate Park and tells her to hide "under the bridge where Dad used to take us fishing" until they can fetch her. Piper and Pheebs put on their coats. Leo warns them that they're headed into "a trap." Pheebs says they have to go. Leo suggests that the Flying Dunce scope out the sitch from above. Piper tells Phoebe to hurry, because "it'll be light soon." Which explains why the next shots are from a day shoot.

Park. Piper's SUV pulls up. The docile Ps step out into the bright, inexplicable, noonday sun. The Flying Dunce takes off. Shannen gives us a slow tracking shot of Piper searching for Prue Teen. Piper hears PT and turns to her in slo-mo. Prue Teen comes running towards her. I'm surprised Shannen didn't suggest a Brian De Palma-ish split screen here. Piper tells Prue Teen to go back, because Dragon Warlock is right next to her. He grabs PT as Frenie grabs Piper from behind. Piper screams at DW to "let go of [her]!" DW pulls out a knife. Phoebe spots all this from the air. DW stabs PT in the back and drops her to the ground. Piper wails. Phoebe lands in a pile of leaves, calling out, "PRUE!" DW heads over to Phoebe to "get [his] power back." Piper freezes him. She and Phoebe run to Prue Teen's body. Phoebe bawls. Piper tells her to get the car. Frenie moans, "Oh god, what did I do?"

Halliwell Manor. Kitchen. The docile Ps lay Prue Teen out on the linoleum and insist that Leo try to heal her. He lays his glowing hands upon her, but fails, because he "can't heal the dead." Piper and Phoebe cry and cry.

Charmed Sundays lasted about as long as the first run of a Jennifer Aniston pic, no?

Halliwell Manor. Sunroom. Piper and Phoebe embrace and weep. Leo and Frenie enter. Phoebe bolts up, holding Kleenex in both hands, and screams, "WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?" Leo suggests that they "hear him out; he has an idea." Frenie apologizes for his actions. All he wanted was his freedom. Cut to Alyssa and Holly Marie, their eyes all puffy and red. Real acting here, folks. Good for them. And us. Phoebe: "GET TO THE POINT!" Frenie suggests that he voluntarily return to the bottle, invalidating all of the granted wishes. Phoebe: "EVEN PRUE?" Frenie believes that she might be resurrected, since it was Prue Teen who got killed. Piper wonders if this is another trick. Leo thinks the plan is worth a try, because the Halliwells need the Power of Three to vanquish DW. French Stewart makes a million different mugging expressions while trying to convince the sisters that they have "nothing to lose." Pheebs plucks the lid off of the bottle/vase/urn thing. Frenie claps his hands and mists himself inside. Phoebe puts a lid on him. Thank god some one finally did. Piper asks The Flying Dunce to try to take off. She raises her arms, but she's grounded for good. The docile Ps and Leo bolt out of the room. In the kitchen, Prue Teen's body morphs into adult Prue. In the parlor, Old Dan morphs back into greasy-haired, cretinous young Dan.
