"Feats Of Clay"

Description: "When Phoebe's ex-boyfriend comes to town, he brings trouble in the form of a stolen Egyptian urn which carries a mortal curse. Meanwhile, Prue deals with her own problem of trying to save the auction house from bankruptcy, and Piper's use of her powers in a misguided attempt at matchmaking, may backfire."

Did Clay steal an Egyptian urn or an Egyptian urn with a curse? Now that is the question, but whether he knew about the curse or not doesn't change the fact that he stole the urn in the first place. If I was Phoebe, I wouldn't have given him a second chance once I found out the urn was stolen. There is obviously a reason Phoebe broke up with Clay in New York, so why she let him back into her life when he came to San Francisco is beyond me. It's hard to teach an old guy new tricks, but when it came to Clay and how much he cared about Phoebe it changed everything. What was with Clay's creepy friend that came to see him? He was all jumpy and nervous and seemed like he was psycho. The producers never made it clear what the other guys' relationship with Clay was. When they showed Clay and his two cronies stealing the urn in the beginning of the episode, it looked like one guy was the leader and the other two were just following behind, or that the other two wanted to steal the urn but made Clay come along and didn't tell him all the danger that was involved. They whispered something that made it seem like they knew that the urn was cursed, but Clay expressed to Phoebe that he didn't have any clue it was cursed. They also never made it clear why Clay and the other two dudes wanted to steal it in the first place? If it was for money they had to have known if it was reported stolen they wouldn't have gotten any money for it. All in all, there were a lot of large holes in Clay's story about how he came across the urn in the first place. What is with the curse and the weird guardian chick anway? She's so creepy and promiscuous looking that she could almost be classified as a demon. I don't know, I never quite figured out her true intentions. I thought it was sweet how Piper wanted to help Doug and get Shelly back, but I thought it was kind of obnoxious that Doug kept dropping everything when Shelly walked or looked at him. I'm surprised that Piper didn't lose her temper and fire Doug with how crazy he was driving her. It seems like ever since Piper starting going out with Leo she's been more understanding with relationships. The whole confidence spell that Piper cast on Doug was a real hoot though. Seeing Doug juggling things and setting up dates right and left. So much for Piper wanting to get Doug back together with Shelly, because if he keeps setting up dates with other girls Shelley won't want him back. I thought it was hilarious when Prue comes home after finding out the urn was stolen and barges into Phoebe's room without knocking, getting ready to confront her. Piper tried to warn her that Phoebe and Clay were preoccupied, but she walked out of the living room too fast. After Phoebe lets Clay out the front door, she turns around and tells Prue, "I hope you liked the show!" Too funny! I thought it was sweet that Clay was able to break the curse with an unselfish act, and that unselfish act just happened to be saving Phoebe's life. How sweet! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

Peace, Love, and Charmed!
