First of all, I would like to comment that Season Two may probably be the best season of Charmed - the story lines are better developed than in the first series, and it has all the fantasy I love about Charmed.
Having said that, this episode is one of the weaker of this season. My main objection against it is that it is inconsistent: * Prue, apparently being filthy rich lets her younger sister stay in a death cell, while all her money could probably get her a much lower sentence in a crime where there is absolutely no murder weapon present. The least she could do, is stall the execution indefinitely.
* The same apparently rich Prue does nothing to help her middle sister who lives in their ancestral home which is slowly falling apart at the seams.
* The sisters had the escape planned long in advance, but only execute it at the very last minute (in the most literal sense of the word).
* Phoebe is in season two the most unlikely sister to gain an active power, and a very deadly power at that.
* I didn't get the sequence from punishing an antisocial by playing a small prank on him (giving him his own back) to murder.
But: the next ones are way better....
