Against Piper's wishes, Paige and Phoebe summon Grams for Chris's wiccaning. To put an end to the boys' sibling rivalry, Grams puts a spell on them, but in the process turns the sisters back to bickering teenagers. Meanwhile, Leo consults a demonic Seer to find out who attacked Wyatt and learns that he has a connection to Wyatt's attacker, and Phoebe attends an award ceremony with Les, only to end up acting like a love-struck teenager.

- Baby Chris receives his Wiccaning in this episode. His brother had one previous to him in the episode Necromancing the Stone.
