[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The sisters attempt to keep their special powers in check. This is especially challenging for Phoebe, who can't resist peeking into the future when it comes to an attractive guy named Stefan. He may be New York photographer, but is actually Javna, a deadly demon who maintains his eternal youth by sucking away young womens' life force. He lures them by using the oldest line in the book, "Are you a model?" and Phoebe falls for it. Prue rekindles her high-school romance with Andy and lands a job at Buckland's Auction House, but is struggling to keep her new-found witch status under wraps. Piper's worries about being a good person while being a witch are calmed when she enters a church unharmed. Phoebe narrowly escapes Javna when Prue and Piper come to her rescue. Javna is the Halliwell sisters' first lesson that they have more than warlocks to worry about and much more to learn about their powers.

[edit] Enemies

  • Javna: Javna feeds one week out of every year, stealing the life force from the young by invoking a black magic power that will allow you to gain eternal youth. The Prophet Mohammed invoked the Hand of Fatima centuries ago to banish Javna back to wherever the hell he came from.
  • Rex Buckland: Rex has psychic abilities, with them he can read minds, astral project and cause people to see and act how he wishes. After being sent from the Underworld, he manages to take over Buckland Auction House, with a fellow Warlock, Hannah Webster. Their mission is to acquire the powers of the Charmed Ones.
  • Hannah Webster: Hannah is able to ignite fires with her breath, as well as to change her shape. After being sent from the Underworld, she manages to pose as an employee of Buckland Auction House, with a fellow Warlock, Rex Buckland, who is posing as the owner of Buckland Auction House. Their mission is to acquire the powers of the Charmed Ones.

[edit] Spells

  • The Hand of Fatima: Evil eyes look unto thee. May they soon extinguished be. Bend thy will to the power of three. Eye of earth, evil and accursed. This incantation causes the hand of one of the speakers to glow into the Hand of Fatima. The Hand can then shoot a thick, white beam of light from the center of the palm into Javna's chest. Repeating the incantation again will then cause Javna's body to age rapidly, until it turns to dust.

[edit] Trivia

  • The title of this episode is in reference to the Cole Porter song by the same name.
  • It is said in this episode that the sisters agreed not to use their powers, so that evil won't know that the Charmed Ones exist. But both Phoebe and Piper find this too difficult since they can't control their powers as well as Prue could.
  • Phoebe has her third premonition in this episode, and she sees a man named Alec approach her and ask to buy her a martini.
  • Phoebe has her fourth premonition in this episode and it's about the winning lotto numbers.
  • Phoebe has her fifth premonition in this episode and it's about her getting her youth sucked out of her.
  • In this episode, the sisters learned that good witches don't freeze.
  • In Sympathy for the Demon, Piper calms Phoebe down by reassuring her she is not evil. In this episode, Phoebe is the one who is calming Piper down about not being evil.
  • When Piper accidentaly freezes the kitchen when Phoebe and Prue are fighting she says "Oh no...not again" This could be a hint that she did that once before or she could be refering to the times she froze Chef Moore or Jeremy.
  • When did Chef Moore Own Quake when Piper was doing her audition reciepe she was at an undisclosed location Theory: Chef Moore Owned more than one Restaurant
