While this isn't one of my favourite episodes, and I think Brad Kern didn't get of the most convincing of starts, it has grown on me a lot over the years.

I'm not keen on the demon of the week side of this episode, but the girl's stories, especially Piper's are actually quite good. I liked how Piper was the only one of the three who was actually thinking about what being a witch means for them. Prue tried to shrug it off, and was slightly hypocritical about the whole thing, while Phoebe jumped straight in. It was almost as if Piper's role as the middle sister here was also to be somewhere between Prue's way of dealing and Phoebe's openness about it all.
