PILOT: SOMETHING WICCA COMES THIS WAY
ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 10-07-1998

In San Francisco, three vastly different Halliwell sisters are reunited in the grand Victorian home of their childhood. Prue, the oldest, is driven to succeed and dislikes the free-spirited antics of the youngest sister, Phoebe. Piper, the earthy middle sister, mediates between her siblings and has a love for cooking. Phoebe discovers THE BOOK OF SHADOWS in the attic and their witch powers are activated - igniting a bond that reaches beyond petty sisterly grudges.

Prue has the power to move objects with her mind, Piper to freeze time and Phoebe to see the future. The sisters must band together to battle dark forces of the supernatural world.

Keeping their secret could prove a challenge, since Inspector Andy Trudeau, Prue's ex, is closing in on a serial killer preying on local witches. Piper narrowly escapes death when she discovers her white-bread boyfriend, Jeremy, is the killer (and an evil warlock).

That guy may look like hip New York photographer Stefan but is actuall Javna, a deadly demon with an eye for young ladies. He maintains his eternal youth by sucking away their life force, using the oldest line, "are you a model?" and Phoebe falls for it.

Prue rekindles her high-school romance with Andy and lands a prestigious job at an auction house but is struggling to keep her new-found witch status under wraps. Piper worries about being a good person while being a witch are calmed when she enters a church unscathed.

Phoebe narrowly escapes Javna's evil eye 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.
