 * * When Leo and Piper orb into the manor arguing they are not touching each other. Could this mean that they were sent down as in some form of telekinetic-orbing?
 * ** Leo's powers are connected to his emotions. He orbed into Piper's room very fast.  And earlier when he was down his orbs were much slower.
 * Phoebe develops the power to levitate!
 * This is the first time Piper is able to selectively choose to freeze just the innocents in the room. However this gives the guilty immunity to her freezing power.

Quotes

 * Phoebe: What if she doesn’t? (A phone rings.)
 * Prue: Uh, that’s my fax. (She goes to get it.) Doesn’t what? (Phoebe puts her purse on.)
 * Phoebe: Wh-what if she doesn’t come back? (Prue picks up the Book of Shadows.) I mean, what if when her and Leo orbed out, it was for good?
 * Prue: Phoebe, that is ridiculous. (Prue leaves. Phoebe follows.)
 * Phoebe: No Prue. It’s not ridiculous. Think about it. We have not heard from her in a month. And that’s not like her.
 * Prue: All right. Look, Piper is not going to just ditch us, okay? We’re her sisters and neither is Leo. He’s our white-lighter too.




 * Phoebe: Darryl. Prue! (Prue uses her power to send Emilio flying on top of a dumpster. They run to check Darryl. The guardian arises from Emilio.) He’s alive.
 * Prue: Uh, I think I’ve found the guardian. (Phoebe and Prue stand up.)
 * Phoebe: Okay. Get rid of it.
 * Prue: Uh, oh.
 * (Prue uses her power to send a stick into the guardian, but it goes right through him.)
 * Phoebe: Wait. Didn’t the book say they were just like vampires?
 * Prue: I might have mis-read that part.
 * Phoebe: I’m sorry? (The guardian picks up the knife.) Okay. The rune. Aim for the rune. (Prue uses her power to send a stick flying into the guardian’s triangle on his forehead. He gets electrocuted and disappears.) Okay, if Piper ever comes back, I am going to kill her.




 * Darryl: You better decide fast. Here comes the ADA.
 * (A really cute ADA approaches them.)
 * Cole: Ladies. My name is Cole Turner and I'm the Assistant District Attorney assigned to this case. I was wondering if either of you saw what happened here.
 * (Phoebe raises her hand.)
 * Phoebe: I did!




 * Phoebe: All I know is Cole is an angel. He was awesome in that court room yesterday.
 * Prue: See something you like, sis?
 * Phoebe: Maybe, or maybe it's just nice to run into someone that's not a college boy. More years, less hormones.
 * Prue: Yeah, not a bad butt either.




 * (Piper and Leo orb in.)
 * Piper: We’ve been through this, Leo. I don’t care if they are. It’s not right and it’s not fair.
 * Leo: I know that, but it’s their rules.
 * Piper: Screw their rules. They’re wrong.
 * Prue: Piper…
 * Piper: Just a second. Leo, you better do something about this because this is not acceptable.
 * Leo: Piper, come on.
 * Piper: Oh. (She freezes him.) I’m gonna go to the club. Do not tell him.
 * (She leaves.)
 * Prue: Hi, welcome home!
 * Phoebe: Okay, what was that all about? I didn’t even get to bitch at her.
 * Prue: Yeah, neither did I.
 * (Leo unfreezes.)
 * Leo: We have to talk about it.
 * Prue: Leo, she left.
 * Phoebe: Yeah, so now I get to bitch at you. Listen, the next time you take my sister some place, please, call and let us know that you got their safely, okay. I don't care if it's up there--
 * Prue: Okay, oh, shh. Leo, uh, can you do me a favour and just go find out everything you can on guardians. They are demons. Okay, thank you, bye.
 * (Leo orbs out.)




 * Leo: Every time I see you, I love you even more. You're so beautiful. You're so special. I can't imagine my life without you. (Piper walks in.) Piper!
 * Piper: Leo, who are you talking to?
 * Leo: Me? Uh, nobody, just myself, you know.
 * Piper: Yourself? You were telling yourself how much you love you?
 * Leo: No, of course not. Uh, I mean, it's, it's not like that at all. Um, let's go downstairs and I'll explain.
 * Piper: Actually, no, we don't have time. Uh, did you find out anything about the guardians?
 * Leo: Uh, no, I forgot.
 * Piper: You forgot? Leo, what's the matter? Why are you acting so weird?
 * Leo: Can we go downstairs please?
 * Piper: No, why?
 * Leo: Okay, fine, um, here's good. Um, I've been thinking a lot actually about our situation.
 * Piper: Leo...
 * Leo: No, no, just let me finish. Um, I think I've come up with a solution, a way for us to be together no matter what they say. (Leo gets down on one knee and Piper's eyes widen. He takes Piper's hand.) Will you marry me?




 * Cole: You get anything out of him?
 * [[Daryl Morris|Daryl]: Nope, he's not talking.
 * Cole: Yea? Seems to be an epidemic.
