[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Prue stumbles across a truth spell while searching the Book of Shadows for information about a demon Phoebe saw in a premonition. The spell binds all three sisters to hear and tell the truth for 24 hours. Piper uses it to get close to the handsome handyman and tell off her overbearing boss, while Phoebe tracks down the demon's next victim. Prue learns the demon is a warlock from the future who is killing those responsible for creating a vaccine against warlocks.

  • Gavin: A warlock from the future, Gavin comes back in time to stop the birth of a scientist who is destined to create a vaccine that destroys warlocks. He can shoot a laser-type ray from his third eye, which is in the middle of his forehead. He was vanquished once Prue and Piper impaled his third eye with a crowbar.

[edit] Spells

  • Truth Spell: For those who want the truth revealed, opened hearts and secrets unsealed. From now until it's now again, after which the memory ends. Those who now are in this house, will hear the truth from other's mouths.
