[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Prue is tired of losing her battles to save innocents, and in her effort to fight off the Angel of Death, she has to turn her back on a dying soul when she accepts that she can't fight fate and reconciles with the death of her mother Patty.

[edit] Enemies
- Seeker Demons: Demonic cousins to vampires. They are able to absorb the knowledge of those they slay by biting into the back of their victim’s necks and feeding on brain stem cells. This talent made them a particularly dangerous foe for the Charmed Ones. In addition to the power to drain, knowledge seekers were also able to float through the air, and teleport from place to place. The seekers encountered by The Charmed Ones also possessed the ability to sense, and follow, shimmer, as well as detect the presence of other demons.
[edit] Neutral Beings
- The Angel of Death: the angel responsible for guiding those destined to die in their final days. He is immune to witch powers and can not be vanquished.
[edit] Spells
- To Call the Angel of Death: Spirits of air, sand and sea. Converge to set the Angel free. In the wind I send this rhyme. Bring Death before me before my time.
- To Vanquish Seeker Demons: Knowledge gained by murderous means, is wisdom's bitter enemy. The mind that burns with stolen fire, will now become your funeral pyre.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode's title is a play on words to the movie Death Takes a Holiday.
- Reece Davidson is killed in this episode, but later is brought back from the dead in the episode Death Becomes Them.
- The Seeker Demons in this episode are very much like the Collector Demons shown in the episode They're Everywhere.
- This episode foreshadows that Prue is destined to die soon, which happens in All Hell Breaks Loose.

However Prue uis able to channel her telekinesis into her fighting, giving her advance combat skills.
