Quite possibly the best episode of the series.

I always have a soft spot for any Prue-centered Charmed episode and this one is one of the best of them, featuring not one but actually three versions of Prue, each slightly differing from the other. The two clones of Prue are created by accident to battle an invincible adversary.

The interaction of Prue Halliwell with her selves is real funny to watch, and otherwise the episode is thrilling. I think it may rate as one of the best Charmed episodes.

Pity though, that the romance with Andy Trudeau didn't work out in this first series.
