Continuity: When Phoebe and Piper first open the back jail door to break Prue out, the officer just inside turns his head to face them just before being frozen, but when seen from the reverse angle and upon them leaving the guard is facing the wall.

Quotes:

Rex Buckland: I explained this to you, Hannah. It's called astral projection. With it I can transport myself psychically and implant a subliminal thought into Prue's brain. Just like I did when I tricked her into leaving the vault today with the tiara. See, I planted the thought and made her think she came out empty handed.

Soundtrack:

She's so high

Guard Angel?

The evil warlock Rex Buckland uses astral projection to control the mind of Prue and make her steal a one million dollars tiara. Rex and Hannah frame Prue, trying to destroy the power of three and stop the charmed ones. When Prue is arrested, Phoebe and Piper look for evidences to prove the innocence of their sister and disclose the truth about Rex. However, he blackmails the three sisters forcing them to use a stripping spell from the Book of Shadows and lose their power. But a guard angel restores the Book of Shadows and the power of three.

"Wicca Envy" is a great episode of "Charmed", with revelations and conclusions. The power of the diabolic Rex and Hannah are disclosed and the greatest surprise is the power of another mysterious character, a sort of a guard angel of the Halliwell sisters. My vote is nine.
