That Old Black Magic

That Old Black Magic is the 28th episode of The WB's Charmed.

Summary
A trio of film students are the victims of a heart-stealing evil witch, who escapes from over 200 years of entombment, hunting for her magical scepter. Leo returns to help get the staff into the hands of the only person who can use the wand for good, The Chosen One, and bumps into Piper with her new love interest Dan Gordon. Trying to put the awkwardness aside, Leo, Piper and Phoebe find the Chosen One, who turns out to be a reluctant teenager named Kyle Gwydion, while Prue stumbles across the magical scepter. Ignoring Leo’s warnings, the Halliwell sisters attempt to find and defeat the witch and barely escape with their lives. Protected only by a fake courage potion concocted by Prue, Kyle saves the day, destroying the evil witch by using the magical scepter. The victory becomes bittersweet when Leo faces Piper’s choice to end their difficult romance and begin a new one with Dan. At the end of the episode, they all go to P3.

To Disempower a Witch
Tuatha casts this spell in 1999 to strip the Charmed Ones of their powers. The first time she cast this spell was solely to remove Prue's power however, after killing two more innocents and stealing their hearts for her spell, she was able to cast it a second time.

Potions



 * 1) Phoebe uses the potion to Induce Sleep on Tuatha (failed).
 * 2) Phoebe mentioned that she made a potion to Repel an Evil Threat.
 * 3) Throughout the entire episode Tuatha uses a powder that does many things:
 * Shrink victims
 * Remote teleportation
 * Teleporation
 * Sleeping potion
 * Bind attackers

Glitches

 * The sisters gave Kyle a fake potion to boost his confidence and later told him that there's no such thing. However, in the Season 1 episode Feats Of Clay, Piper cast a spell on a bartender, to give him confidence, showing that while there is no confidence potion, there is a confidence spell. The confidence potion is also referenced in Season 7 Finale Something Wicca This Way Goes.
 * When Jack puts the piece of paper, with Betty's address and phone number on it, in his pocket, it is folded once by Betty and then Jack sort of folded it before he put it in his pocket. When Prue telekinetically, pick-pocketed Jack, it was perfectly folded twice.
 * The three guys in search of the witch in the woods get lost after a couple of days, but the sisters are there within only a few minutes.
 * As Tuatha says "Now this is a sleeping potion" there is a shot of her throwing the potion. Then the camera cuts to her face as she finishes speaking but her lips aren't moving.
 * When Jenny sees Kyle walking down the street, the car that she and Dan are in is moving the wrong way if they are trying to get home (which they probably are because he told her when to be home and such, implying that they were not going anywhere). Their house and the manor is the opposite direction, as proven by where Kyle is coming from and which way he goes when he turns back to help the girls.

Quotes

 * (Piper and Leo walk in the solarium.)
 * Piper: It's not that it isn't great to see you, Leo, because it is. But you can't just orb in whenever it's convenient.
 * Leo: It's never been a problem before.
 * Piper: Yeah, well, things have changed.
 * Leo: I can see that.
 * Piper: Leo ...
 * Leo: Sorry, wasn't fair. Where's Prue?
 * Piper: At work.
 * Leo: Fine. Then we'll have to start without her and your friend Dan has to leave now.
 * Piper: Oh, really? Why?
 * Leo: Because you and your sisters have a very big problem. A magical problem. Look, this isn't personal, it's business.
 * Piper: What else is new?


 * Piper: Okay, so how old is he now?
 * Leo: See, over there. (Leo points and you see a teenage boy getting picked on.)
 * Piper: He's a high school student?
 * Phoebe: And he's a nerd.
 * Leo: Hey, I didn't choose him, they did. If he can help save your lives, that's all I care about.
 * Piper: Leo, he's a teenager. How can we let him go up against Tuatha? She'll destroy him.
 * Leo: Not if he finds the wand and learns how to use it. Besides, she knows he's the Chosen One. If we don't help him, she'll find him and destroy him anyway.
 * Phoebe: Doesn't sound like we have much of a choice.
 * Piper: This is wrong. He should be battling acne at his age, not evil witches.


 * (Prue, Piper and Phoebe run in.)
 * Phoebe: What was that crash? What happened in here?
 * Leo: A little training, that’s all.
 * Prue: That’s all? Do you have any idea how much that’s gonna cost to fix?
 * Piper: Well, I know who’s gonna be fixing it. Leo, what if somebody saw you?
 * Leo: Someone like neighbour Dan? Hey, you’re bleeding. (You see a cut on Piper’s forehead.)
 * Piper: It’s nothing.


 * Phoebe: Okay, this is the potion to induce sleep, this one is to repel an evil threat, and that one puts out a fire.
 * Prue: What kind of potion does that?
 * Phoebe: None. It's water. (a look from Prue) I didn't have a lot of time, it was the best that I could do, okay?
