Ok, so did anyody else notice that Cole was not in the show open this week? Charmed does this all this time.. they take people in and out of the open like it's nothing. So I'm assuming he'll be back, but you never know with these people.

Anyway, this was a really cute and enjoyable ep. The "A" plot was about this creepy old house wherein lived a hottie and nasty. See Paige always had a bad feeling about this house everytime she walked by it, so Phoebe went to check it out and got caught by this ugly, old nasty guy who shrinks girls with a wand makes them into little figurines. Sidenote: he was played by Freddy Krueger. So anyway, Paige lured Finn (the hot guy who lived there with the nasty man) out of the house so Phoebe and Leo could check it out. Turns out, Paige found out that the nasty old guy (aka Gamel) "made" Finn, kind of like Pinnocchio was made by Gepetto. PS - she lured Finn out of the house by sucking on a lollipop and using the line "Remember me, I'm the girl with the melons" (in reference to when they met at the supermarket). Well, eventually, Phoebe and Paige went back to the house to rescue Phoebe and they got shrunken too. They were all even really cute as 3" figurines covered in clay. Paige was the one who wound up saving them all cuz she orbed out of her clay and freed Phoebe and Piper. Woo-hoo!

I am SOOOO glad that the opening credit sequence is back. I was really pissed off last week when there was nothing at the start of the show but a logo. But all is cool now. So Piper is really grieving over Prue's death and she's taking out her anger by like stalking every evil-doing demon in San Fran. She's just all about blowing up demon butt. Meanwhile, Paige (new sis Rose McGowan) is trying to learn to cope with being a witch. So when Phoebe shows her the Book of Shadows and she sees all the cool spells inside, of course she's gonna wanna try it out. So Paige steals the Book and proceeds to clear up a cute mailroom clerks acne and accidentally give herself like size DDDD boobs. They are so big that she needs Phoebe's help to drive her little VW bug home. Funny, but highly unlikely. So with Piper holding in all this anger, she starts turning into one of the demons she was fighting earlier that day… a Fury demon. They are a bunch of gorgeous girls that kill. So her transformation starts with some corn chip nail tips, then some long stringy hair weave, followed by some totally skimpy clothes and finally some facepaint. She actually looked really awesome, except for the facepaint. But blah, blah, blah, once Leo orbed her to Prue's gravesite she brokedown and started crying and yelling and her Fury days were over. But what really caught my attention was Prue's grave, which said she was 31. That's sorta weird seeing as how in real life I believe she was born in 1971, which would make her only 30. I guess I was expecting her character to be younger, like 28 maybe. Anyhoo, Piper accepted Paige as her sister and all's well that ends well… at least this week.

Yow. Looks like Cole has gone bad… AGAIN. He looks so damn ugly in that Balthazor make-up though… that's the worst part. Prue (weep weep - SEE NEWS & UPDATES) and the girls were on a quest to find a Banshee, which is a flying chick demon with white hair that yells with such a high pitch that only dogs can hear her coming. And she feeds on sad people… screaming so loud in their presence that all their blood vessels break and they die… EWW Gross! Well, to track the Banshee, Prue goes incognito as a pretty white dog. The funniest was watching Piper and Phoebe argue over who had to scoop her poop. Hee Hee.

But Phoebe became so saddened by losing Cole to the dark side, that the Banshee actually fed off her, which caused Phoebe to turn into a Banshee herself. Alyssa Milano is probably the only person who can actually look good with white hair and nasty old rag-clothes. So off she went, to find her next victim. But guess who it turned out to be… COLE! He was still really sad over losing her, even though he had tried to convert himself 100% to being bad again. But he couldn't!! Yeah!! I love Cole and Phoebe together. In the end, Phoebe and Cole realized that they can't be together cuz he is bad, but he said he would always love her. HOW SWEET!
