I really like this episode. I love that we get to find out more about the girls' mother, and about her past. I also love that Leo is in this episode. He's such a great character. Especially when the Dan/Piper relationship comes into question.
In this episode, we find out that the sisters' mother, Patty, died in a lake many, many years ago. When Phoebe was only about three. So, the sisters' where very young. They go up to the lake, as it is about to be re-opened. But then people start drowning in the lake. They discover that it's actually a demon doing it. The girls find a man that happens to have every article ever written on the lake drownings, since Patty died. He also had letters from Patty and a photo of her. What does this mean? Sam, the man, was actually Patty's whitelighter and her "lover". I felt like it need quotations, even though I'm not being sarcastic. Anyway, Prue gets very upset about Sam's inability to save Patty. Sam makes the sisters forget that they came to the lake, as he doesn't want them to get killed either. Leo asks the sisters why they aren't at the lake protecting the kids, and it took a while for the sisters to remember what he was talking about. In the end, Phoebe has a vision of what happened to their mother that day, and Prue defeats the demon. Sadly, not before Sam dies. But he's okay with it because he got to see Patty again.
Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10.
