Be Careful What You Witch For

Halliwell Manor. Out front. Piper's SUV pulls up. Dan is talking to a realtor in front of Gordon Manor. Piper walks over and asks him what's the big. He's accepted a job offer in Portland so he can "move on" with his life. Then he blows her off. Instead of being overjoyed, Piper tells Leo that she thinks "something's not right." Then Prue's BMW screeches to a halt next to the SUV. Prue Teen, who's now sporting freckles, bangs, and braces (I'm surprised Wardrobe didn't add footie pajamas and a Barbie) emerges from the convertible. She greets Piper, and enthusiastically notes the "cool ride" the restaurant parking valet gave her. She spies Leo and asks, "Who's the cute boy?" Um, Brian Krause looks like he hasn't seen boyhood since Nixon left office, but -- heh. Instead, Prue Teen harshes on Piper for looking "kinda old." Before Piper's bitch can warm up, the three of them hear Phoebe wailing from inside the house.

Attic. Phoebe is waving her arms frantically while dangling near the ceiling on fishing line like a community-college-production Peter Pan. Piper and Leo gape. Prue Teen giggles.

So we should see Shanghai Noon because it's "funnier than Rush Hour"? Sorry, I've seen orphanage fires that were funnier than that flick.

Halliwell Manor. Attic. Leo helps Pheebs down to the floor. Prue Teen exclaims, "That is SO TOTALLY COOL! Do I get that power when I'm older, too?" The hell? The Halliwells allegedly didn't know about their supernatural gifts until two years ago when all of them were in their twenties. Whatever! Piper ignores this and tells PT that the docile Ps aren't old, just "older than you for some reason." Phoebe asks Prue Teen's age. Prue Teen: "Seventeen." Piper remembers that "Prue was a nightmare" at that age. Why would she wish for that? Leo, ever the fount of exposition, suggests that Prue probably wanted to obtain something she could only get by being that age. And that's why she has "no memory of being older." Which makes no sense considering her earlier comment in this scene, but again, whatever. Phoebe, exasperated at this development, starts flapping her arms around while gesticulating, and Leo has to hold her down on the ground. Heh. Then he brings up an important point: Since Prue Teen doesn't have her telekinesis yet, the other Halliwells are vulnerable now without the Power of Three. Prue Teen spies the BoS, deems it "totally bitchin'" and starts tearing through the pages. Piper tries to slap her hands away, as we get it -- Prue Teen is a brat. Funny how this season is coming full circle with this re-visitation by Jenny Gordon. I hope she's exorcised from Prue real soon.
