"The Power of Two"

Description: "While taking a tour of Alcatraz, Phoebe sees the ghost of a killer take possession of a guard's body so he can cross the waters surrounding the prison, and must stop him before it's too late. Meanwhile, Piper worries about leaving Prue and Phoebe alone as she leaves on a business trip."

It's the power of three minus one for this episode because Piper is off to Hawaii for an important business trip. I don't know how much of a business trip it actually was though, because the one time Piper was shown in Hawaii she was sitting down relaxed and sipping a cocktail. Either way, I think Piper deserved a break from both demon hunting and the responsibility of being mediator between her sisters. I personally thought it was a bit rude for Piper and Prue to keep throwing things at Phoebe that they just expected her to do. It would have been better if they had asked first, but instead they just assumed Phoebe would do them because she had nothing better to do. In the Halliwell family, just because you don't hold a job outside of the home doesn't mean you aren't carrying your weight. Phoebe picks up the slack in the demon hunting side of affairs a lot, when sometimes Prue and Piper are too busy to do it themselves. I found it funny how Piper was concerned about leaving Prue and Phoebe alone together for a week. Fans who have been following the show so far know that Phoebe and Prue have always had a bit of a hard time getting along sometimes. Unfortunately, when her sisters start going at it Piper always seems to be thrown in the middle of the arguments. Since becoming witches Prue and Phoebe have gotten better about their bickering, but there are still occasions where tempers flare. It was funny that Prue and Phoebe were so determined to prove to Piper they could survive without her for a week. I think it was good for Phoebe and Prue to go through this together, because it was a learning lesson for both of them and they figured things out about each other that they probably wouldn't have otherwise. I liked the part when Phoebe was taking the tour of Alcatraz and she was the only one who was able to see the ghost Jackson, so when she started talking to him the other people thought she was losing her mind. I guess that's one of the downfalls of being a witch, is that people sometimes think you're crazy when you're trying to prove something they don't necessarily believe exists. Poor Andy! I'm glad that he finally knows their secret about being witches, but I think it is doing the guy more harm than good. He really loves Prue and you can tell the feeling is mutual, but he just can't fathom how being married to a witch could possibly mean for his future. Truthfully I don't blame him, because I wouldn't want to marry into a family and raise children around all the demons that are constantly attacking the sisters. Morris is getting a little aggravated with Andy too, because they're partners and now all of a sudden Andy is working and solving cases without him and now Internal Affairs is suddenly all over their butts. You'll soon find out though that Internal Affairs is more than they seem originally, but you will have to stay tuned to see how this all plays out in the end. "May the power of three set you free!"

Peace, Love, and Charmed!
