Summary

A Shocker Demon has forced Piper and Phoebe to live in the dark ages. No electricity. Poor Phoebe complains about not being able to use her hair dryer. They figure the only way they are going to be able to fight the demons coming after them is if the Charmed Ones are under the same roof again. Every demon and his brother is trying to off them now that they are split across the city. Paige refuses their request to move into the Manor, realizing that the biggest reason they are asking is not of sisterly love, but of convenience and necessity for survival. Instead, Paige finds her Evil Enchantress from her childhood fairy tale in the Book of Shadows and accidentally casts the spell to bring a Prince Charming to the present day. The Evil Enchantress is actually Paige's past life and she brings plenty of trouble with her, intent on bearing the Prince's heir and changing the course of history forever.

This episode was written by Alison Schapker & Monica Breen, directed by David Straiton, and originally aired in the US on November 1, 2001.

Episode Quotes

Paige: Once upon a time, there lived a handsome prince who was about to marry a beautiful maiden. But an evil Enchantress with dark powers wanted the Prince for herself, so she could become Queen and rule the entire kingdom.
Glen: I hate her.
Paige: Really? I always kind of related to her.
Glen: Like I said, I love her. Then what happened?

Lady Julia: Why are you doing this?
(The Enchantress walks out of the dark and she looks exactly like Paige.)
Enchantress: Because this is my destiny. Not yours.

Phoebe: Look at me. I look like a drowned rat. I need my blow dryer.
Piper: Pretend you're camping.
Phoebe: I hate camping.

Leo: Yeah, she's home. She's just a little, uh, indisposed at the moment.
Piper: W-wait, wait, you watched? What are you, like a peeping angel?

Piper: Well, that's what we came to talk to you about. You know, we're tired of getting attacked by demons here and not being able to do anything about it.
Phoebe: Yeah. But we could do something about it if we were together. You know, if we lived together 'cause that's when we're the strongest. What do you say?
Paige: Are you two out of your freaking minds? (She storms upstairs.)
Piper: Don't people usually storm out of the house when they're angry?

Paige: Piper, do that thing you do.
Piper: I-I don't want to blow him up.
Paige: Well, risk it. He's using his tongue. (Piper freezes him. Paige pulls her hand away and wipes it on her top.) Thank God chivalry is dead. He is getting on my last nerve.
Phoebe: Okay, well, he must be under some kind of spell.
Piper: Gee, you think?

Piper: Wait, Paige, you can't just leave.
Paige: Yes I can. I don't live here.

Piper: Paige, the Charmed Ones come first!
Phoebe: The Charmed Ones come first?
Piper: It always worked when Prue said it.

Phoebe: He left? So he's just wondering around in chain mail?
Piper: It's San Francisco. Nobody will notice.

Lady Julia: And what makes you think that you can?
Enchantress: Oh, I don't know. Because I'm petty, and evil, and vindictive. But most of all… I'm determined.

Paige: Well, yeah, he's not half as scary as Prince Charming coming after me though.

Paige: Oh gee, I don't know. Being hunted by the Source, ducking the Furies, and being shrunk by a psycho demon, not to mention being chased after by my bedtime stories. I don't know why I wouldn't want the rest of my life to be just like that.

Prince: I will not leave until you are with child.
Paige: Okay, A) I always use protection and B) you're a fairy tale.

Phoebe: "Defiant, clever, and independent." That kinda describes Paige, don't you think?
Piper: Yeah, along with stubborn, stubborn, and more stubborn.

Paige: What is it with everyone wanting me to move in with them?

Paige: What is going on with this barging in thing? This is getting ridiculous.
Piper: Sorry. Thought he was attacking you.
Paige: He was kissing me. It's called kissing.

Phoebe: Why'd you let her go?
Piper: Because it's time we realise we can't make her do something she doesn't want to do.

Paige: Hi. (The Enchantress turns around.) I hate to interrupt myself at a time like this.

Paige: Okay. Piece of cake. Gotta go. And don't forget... if you need me, please knock. (She leaves her room.)
Piper: And they lived happily ever after.
(Phoebe puts her arm around Piper.)
Phoebe: Yeah, right.
Piper: Right.
