Episode Report Card Djb: C+ | 1 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Something Borrowed, Something Prue
By Djb | Season 3 | Episode 13 | Aired on 02.07.2001
Cut to the three sisters running into the house, Piper collapsing on the floor in tears. But just then, the dead man himself Tinkerbells right back into the room. He explains that vanquishing Receding Hairline Baddy reversed all of the evil they had done. My, how convenient. They apologize to Leo for killing him, and he tells them both, "It wasn't the real you." But Prue monologues that she actually felt evil, and Leo explains that you have to choose the path of evil. One to grow on. Prue agrees with Phoebe, who asks on a walk down the steps, "Am I sensing a thaw in our rift?" All Prue's saying is "if evil weren't enticing, why would there be any? To pretend we're never attracted to it is like pretending it just doesn't exist." Two. To. Grow. On. Phoebe worries that Cole's name is about to come up. It is. Prue doesn't like that Phoebe lied, but after her trip down evil's path, she can at least understand it. She does know now, though, that Justin is too boring for her. Wha? I don't know where that came from, but, of course, it's true. She could have mentioned the teeth too, though, while she's airing her general Justin grievances. I've broken up with people for less, dear. Piper caves and kills the wedding.
And, finally, Phoebe is skulking back down the Mausoleum steps, where Cole stands to meet her. She tells him that everything is back to normal, which they agree is "good." He asks her if what he did changes her mind about their relationship, and she breaks down and speeches, "I love you. And I will always love you. Nothing can change that. It's just the temptation; it's too much. And I can't take that risk, for me and my sisters." He promises her that he's not evil anymore, and she responds that somewhere inside of him, he always will be. And so will they all be, if there's anything we were supposed to learn from the last hour. Whatever. She puts on a hand on his face, wells up, and says goodbye. On her walk out, he calls behind her, "I'm not giving up, Phoebe." The door slams. He whispers, "I'm not going away." I am. Roswell, baby, I'm comin' home.
