Goofs

The order of pages in the Book of Shadows changes. When Phoebe is looking at the entry for Balthazor, the page on the opposite side of the book is the summoning spell. In earlier episodes, the summoning spell was a page turn away and the left page had Phoebe's entry on Belthazor's human half, Cole.

Hiding the Truth

Phoebe has a strange sensation about Cole, and she casts a spell to know whether she should marry him or not, bringing unexpectedly an innocent Phoebe from her childhood and a bitter Phoebe from the future to help in her decision. Meanwhile, The Source is getting stronger and possessing Cole, who seems to be unable to resist much longer. The greedy demon Kurzon that wishes to assume the position of The Source is advised by the evil The Seer to kill the harmless young Phoebe and destroy The Power of Three. Paige has a personal gain with Carolyn case being promoted in her job, and she wants to fix the situation.

In this episode, Cole seems to be losing control of his human side, the powers of The Source are dominating him and he does not tell the truth to Phoebe. The evil and manipulative The Seer wants to stay with the Powers That Be, cheating and double-crossing the candidates. Paige now is more mature, and I did not like the haircut of the gorgeous Phoebe. My vote is seven.
