[edit] Synopsis
Phoebe tries to help the ghost of Charlene, a fellow student who was killed by a demon known as Libris, prevent the publication of her thesis proving the existence of evil. With Prue's help, Phoebe and Charlene try to vanquish Libris before he can kill Phoebe, but are surprised to learn that Charlene's ghost cannot move on to the next plane of existence until she helps Prue solve the murder of another young woman. Meanwhile, Piper's efforts to get the nightclub ready for a performance by "The Goo Goo Dolls" are interrupted when Dan reveals unsettling news about Leo's past.

[edit] Trivia
- Ex Libris is a Latin saying meaning "from the books", which plays into the story taking place in a library and the name of the highlighted demon.
- The poster Piper did was different than the one shown earlier - a little banner sticker is visible when Dan pulled up with the file on Leo.
- Phoebe says that neophyte ghosts cannot pick up solid objects, but in the end, Charlene is able to pick up plenty of solid things in the pawn shop. That is probably because "neophyte" means new. Phoebe said that Charlene catches on fast (while she levitates in the kitchen), so by the time she had to scare Gibbs, she was no longer a neophyte, she was used to being a ghost and was then able to pick up solid objects.
- Prue and Phoebe catch Piper and Leo in the shower. This is later repeated in the episodes Pre-Witched and Cat House.
- Piper freezes Dan from punching Leo in this episode. She later does the same thing in the episode Run Piper, Run, but in that episode, she allows the person to punch him after all.
