Storyline

Over weeks, several teenage students, whose first names start with Al, went missing, only to return in a disastrous mental condition, in fact due to exposure to a demonic version of Alice in Wonderland. The sisters start doubting if their new identities are such a good idea. Demon organizer Haas hopes to trap them, if alive as he suspects, by invading the abandoned magic school. Phoebe enjoys checking out Dex as potential father of her future baby, finding he's a charming artist, interested and Phoebe's column's most devoted fan. Paige fails to find her vocation in the SFPD, but her training officer makes a fine date. Her white lighter nature forces her to meet again with the mystery leather girl, whom she finally identifies as Billie and brings to the house for proper training.

Goofs

When Paige says, "This is real. Deadly real," Billie sneers and says that you "can't use an adverb with a noun." "Real" is not a noun, it is an adjective.

Quotes

Paige: Witches don't wear costumes.

User Reviews

The worst of the series

And when I say the worst one is the worst one. Oh my god! Everything was so messed up, Phoebe's voice-over ripping off Sex and the City (or even Desperate Housewives), the Alice in Wonderland rip-off, the laughable effects when Billie is trapped in the tales, the female demon, the flow of the episode, everything was so wrong (and boring, by the way) And Jason Lewis could go to hell, I mean, the character, because it's painfully hard to see him more than 3 minutes. He's not worst than Nick Lachey though.

It was so bad that I couldn't resist and fast forward it, I mean, skip it until the end. "Nymphs just wanna have fun" or "Lucky Charmed" were bad, but they had redeeming points, this steaming pile of crap and Brad Kern deserve to go to hell (he wrote it)
