TEXT: [Scene: Serena Fredrick's apartment. She puts down a bowl of food for her cat. (Later known as Kit.)] Serena Fredrick: Come on, baby. Good girl. (She walks over to her altar and lights the candles with just a touch of her finger. You see someone standing outside her window. She starts saying a spell.) Ancient one of the earth so deep, master of moon and sun. I shield you in my wiccan way, here in my circle round, asking you to protect this space, and offer your sun force down. (Someone walks up behind her. She turns around.) What are you doing here? (The man pulled out a knife and plunged it in her stomach.) [Scene: Halliwell manor. Piper walks through the front door.] Piper: Prue? Prue: In here, working on the chandelier. Piper: Sorry I'm late. Prue: What else is new? Piper, I would of been here to meet the electrician myself but you know I can't leave the museum until six. I didn't even have time to change. Piper: I just didn't realise how long I was in China town. Did Jeremy call? Prue: No, but he had some roses and a package delivered. What were you doing in China town? I thought that you had an interview in North Beach. Piper: I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow. Prue: So, that wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you then? Piper: No, but this just may get me the job. Prue: Jeremy sent you port? Piper: The ultimate ingredient for my recipe. Oh my God, I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board? Prue: Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester. Piper: (Reading the inscription on the back) "To my three beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of three will set you free. Love, Mom." We never did figure out what this inscription meant. Prue: Well, maybe
SUMMARY:
The Halliwell sisters are reunited in the grand Victorian home of their childhood. Phoebe discovers the Book of Shadows in the attic and when she reads the spell on the first page, their inherent magical abilities are activated. The sisters must try to keep their newly developed powers secret, while Prue's ex-boyfriend, Inspector Andy Trudeau , is investigating a serial killer whose victims are all witches. Piper narrowly escapes death when she discovers that her boyfriend Jeremy, an evil warlock, is the killer. When the sisters try their first spell, Jeremy is vanquished, and they discover the ancient Power of Three.
