TEXT: [Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Prue is there. She is trying to move a fork using her power but it's not moving. Phoebe comes in.] Phoebe: Look at me. I am a fashion blunder. A mademoiselle don't. Oh my god, you lost your powers? Prue: Can't lose what you never had. (Prue astral projects out of the room.) Phoebe: I hate when she plays astral games. Marco. Prue: (from the attic) Polo. [Cut to the attic. Prue is sitting in a chair reading a book on telekinesis. Phoebe walks in.] Phoebe: What were you doing down there? Prue: Practicing. Trying to use telekinesis in astral mode. Phoebe: Hmm, witch exercises. Since when? Prue: Since I studied up on Belthazor. The triad couldn't have sent us a worst demon. Phoebe: Or one with worse skin. I would hate to find myself alone with this guy. Prue: Yeah, well, you wouldn't last long. None of us would. That's why I'm trying to teach my astral self how to fight. (Phoebe flops down into a chair.) Phoebe: I have a date wit Cole. Prue: You say that like it's a bad thing. Phoebe: It's a lunch date. Prue: So? Phoebe: So, it's not a good sign. Lunch is a cheap imitation of dinner. That's why it has it's own special menu. And, you know, we kissed last week. We should be onto dinner and candle light by now. Prue: Well, may-- ohh! (She holds her hand against her jaw.) Phoebe: I can't believe you haven't taken care of that tooth. Prue: Yeah, well, I have a dentist appointment in an hour. Phoebe: Good. I hate to see you so miserable
SUMMARY:
Unwittingly following the signs laid out by Cole, Prue comes into contact with a seemingly innocent shut-in, Vinceres, who refuses to leave his apartment that is about to be demolished. The man is faced with unendurable pain caused by his ability of feeling all of the emotions of the city. After learning the man is an Empath, she casts a spell to relieve him of his power, but it is transferred to her. Prue is later told he is a demon given this power to serve as a curse, causing him the inability to prey on witches or innocents. She nearly goes insane from bearing this gift that she was not meant to have. But Prue eventually overcomes it, intensifying the pain Vinceres felt by finally astral-projecting into his body and destroying him.
