Episode 303: Freaky Feline
Preview release to TV Guide:
Phoebe's spell to increase the power of the Halliwell sisters' "familiar," Kit the Cat, backfires and causes her to switch bodies with the family pet. Prue and Piper try to remedy their sister's new animal nature while chasing down a shape-shifting killer (Malcolm Getz) who's targeting young single women in their neighborhood.
Recaplet: Cat on a Not! Tin Roof
After the Halliwells suddenly remembered that they own a cat, Phoebe researched a "harnessing the power of your familiar" spell in the BoS, but pulled an Aunt-Clara-on-Bewitched and ended up switching brains and bodies with her pet. Instead of enjoying her new-found intelligence, Phoebe the Cat tried to channel Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns, but came off more like Henrietta Pussycat from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Unfortunately, the hard Ps decided not to have their sister spayed. Further unintentional laughter was provided by Richard (from the thankfully cancelled shite-com Caroline in the City) trying to play a) straight and b) a serial strangler who's menacing the houses around Halliwell Manor. But Phoebe in Mrs. Bigglesworth's body scratched his eyes out in a catfight, and the Ps and their neighbors were saved from harm, despite Owen cracking several ribs from violent guffawing.
Episode 304: Stuck in the Sixties
Preview release to TV Guide:
A tip-off from a lower-level demon henchman (Brian Austin Green) influences the Halliwell sisters to travel back to San Francisco in the late sixties to prevent their mother Patty (guest star Finola Hughes) from getting killed by a hellish assassin (Marc Singer) before she can conceive the Charmed Ones.
Recaplet: Witchstock
The Ps got tipped off by a scruffy lowlife undead minion (newly unemployed Brian Austin Green) in lock-up at Daryl's precinct that an assassin has been sent to kill their mother in the San Francisco of the 1960s, in an attempt to prevent the births of the Halliwell sisters. So the witches went back to the tried-and-true time travel trough to save their mom while trying not to rip off the Terminator films too obviously. Sure, it sounds exciting, but the only action generated by this ep will take place in the offices of Aaron Spelling's and James Cameron's attorneys. The sisters bonded with their mom for a bit, tasted hippie culture, and raided the Haight for paisley halter tops before discovering that the tip was a trap to get them out of town while Bri, the real baddie, wreaked havoc in the twenty-first century. Don't worry, a well-placed kick-box from one of Pheebs's bell-bottomed legs saved the day. Peace, man!
