Goofs

When Prue hangs up the phone after talking to Phoebe, the sound of a dial tone is heard before Phoebe pushes a button to hang up her phone. Cell phones do not have dial tones, and Phoebe would not have had to hang up, as the call would have automatically ended when Prue hung up.

Seduction Is Subtler Than Possession

The alchemist demon Kierkan tries to capture the essence of life of his creation, the she-demon Terra, and trap her in a bottle. However the evil spirit escapes, possesses a human and tries to find and possess one of the Charmed sisters to become powerful and vanquish Kierkan. Meanwhile, Piper is nervous, preparing for the celebration of her 10-year high school graduation, with the reunion of her schoolmates in P3. Phoebe is missing Cole, and researching his family. Terra possesses Piper, and when Prue discloses, she plots a mortal plan to save the life of Piper and vanquish the fiend.

"Coyote Piper" is a good episode of "Charmed", with humorous and dramatic moments. The picture of Piper with sixteen years old is very funny, and the modification of her behavior after her possession is great, dancing in the counter of P3 like a striper. Phoebe has also a minor but important participation, feeling ashamed because she was easily seduced by Belthazor, while Piper resisted the possession of her body by Terra. My vote is seven.
