Summary
Phoebe and Piper wonder why Prue never says the words, "I love you." Barbas, the demon of fear, spends Friday the 13th scaring witches literally to death. As usual, Andy and Darryl wonder why Prue seems connected to a string of murders. Barbas tries to drown Prue in the shower, since Prue's greatest fear, since her mother drowned, is drowning herself. Prue is narrowly saved by Andy. Barbas realizes that Phoebe's greatest fear is losing a sister, so he tries to drown Prue again with Phoebe watching. This time, Prue feels the presence of her mother and manages to release her fear and vanquish Barbas. Prue tells her sisters that she loves them, and admits that the last time she said that was to her mother. Piper suffers from superstition on Friday the 13th, worrying about starting a relationship with a fabulous guy and then screwing up that relationship because he doesn't like superstitious women. Phoebe gets a job working for a woman in real estate, but quits when she has to lie to the woman's husband about an affair.

Quotes

 * Andy: Hey. Is Prue in?
 * Phoebe: (calling out) Prue, there's a policeman here to see you.
 * Piper: See you later, Andy, we're running late.
 * (They leave. Andy walks in the living room. So does Prue.)
 * Prue: This must be bad news.
 * Andy: Why would you say that?
 * Prue: A little early for a social call.




 * Piper: Wait a minute, we're on the most wanted list and we're defenseless? Didn't mum say anything about how to get rid of him?
 * Prue: Just to release our fear.
 * Piper: How do we do that?
 * Prue: I don’t know. That’s all she wrote. Look, I know that you’re afraid of flying.
 * Piper: That’s not really a fear, I just prefer buses.
 * Prue: Well, as long as you stay in a crowded restaurant you’ll be fine. And since Phoebe’s afraid of being trapped in an elevator, I’ll tell her to take the stairs.
 * Piper: And you’ll stay away from pools. Ever since mum died you’ve been terrified of the water. That’s why you never took swimming lessons. We’ve always known that was the reason, it’s okay.
 * Prue: Yeah, well, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. I’ve gotta go.




 * Piper: How odd. So what's it like being one of the city's most eligible bachelor?
 * (He laughs.)
 * Lucas: That magazine article was so lame. I'm, uh, really a very simple guy. I value home and heart, I'd like to settle down, have kids. I've got two nieces I'm crazy about, I even carry pictures of them.
 * (Piper freezes him.)
 * Piper: You sound too good to be true. (She reaches in his jacket and pulls out his wallet. She opens it up and sees a photo of them.) You are too good to be true. (He unfreezes just as she's putting his wallet back in his jacket. He wonders what she's doing.) Lint. A little lint. (She brushes his jacket.)
 * Lucas: Oh, thanks.
