To Receive a Sign



The Give Me a Sign Spell was written by Phoebe Halliwell in the Charmed Season 2 episode Give Me a Sign. She created it in an attempt to assist her sister Piper in choosing between the two men in her life - Dan Gordon and Leo Wyatt.

The spell, although meant for Piper, actually helped to locate Prue who was kidnapped by a mortal named Bane Jessup who was attacked by the Upper-Level Demon Litvack. Desperate for help to break free from Litvack, Bane kidnapped Prue hoping she would use the Power of Three to help him vanquish the demon.

Delivery from Leonardo's Boutique in Bodega Bay
A delivery man, who says he recieved a sign, brings a package to the Halliwell home for Piper - Piper tells the man it is a set of earrings she preordered with Dan while at Leonardo's Boutique in Bodega Bay. Thinking this was a sign about Leo and Dan - Dan being from Bodega Bay - they didn't realize this was a sign sent from above about where Prue was being kept by Bane - Mariner's Bluff in Bodega Bay.

Leonara Watkins
The sisters receive a phone call from someone looking for a Leonara Watkins. Thinking this was a sign that Piper should follow her heart and choose Leo, the sisters didn't realize that this was a sign as to where Prue was taken by Bane. Leonara is the name of the road exit that lead to Mariner's Bluff where Bane is keeping Prue.

Mariners
While in the Attic searching for information about the demonic Level-Two Weapon Daryl brought to them The Book of Shadows' pages flipped to the entry on on the Sea Fairies known as Mariners. Thinking this was a sign that Piper's true love was Dan, who played for the Seattle Mariners - a baseball team - they did not realize it was a sign to where Prue was being held by Bane - in a house being built on Mariner's Bluff.

The Sportscast
Phoebe accidently sits on the television remote control and the sportscast comes on, the reporter says "In an exhibition game last night, the Mariners lost to the Angels, 8 to 7". The girls discover 8-2-7 is the lot of the home where Bane is keeping Prue.
