[edit] Plot Overview

After masquerading under random glamours, Phoebe casts a spell to create permanent fake identities for herself, her sisters and Leo. While Piper and Phoebe go shopping, Paige gets a jingle from her new charge, immediately pulling her back into the world of magic. Meanwhile, a demon named Haas plans to buy the Manor and target Victor, for the home is now under his name and after unknowningly confronting the Charmed Ones, Haas believes that the Charmed Ones might still be alive.

Meanwhile, a new witch named Billie arrives in town, a college student who fights demons in her spare time.

[edit] Notes

• The false identities for each of them are as follows: Jenny Bennett (Piper), Julie Bennett (Phoebe), Josephine "Jo" Bennett (Paige) and Louis (Leo).
• The aforementioned spell only allows "those they consider family" to see them in their true identities.

• As usual, this show has had horrible premieres and season eight is of no exception. Overall, the episode was very dull, except for the final scene with the Charmed Ones wherein Piper tricked the demons while glamoured as her first-born son. The actresses that played Piper and Phoebe at the wake were well selected, copying these characters' personalities down nearly flawlessly. Though Janice Dickinson is nowhere near being a good actress, her presence was still somewhat enjoyable. The same cannot be said for Billie, for her Mary Sue-ish character has been introduced and Mary Sues are never, never a good thing. Grade: C- --Contrivance 11:21, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
