Seeing it, Phoebe is fascinated by it, but when she brings it home and sets it on her windowsill, she can't stop touching it and each time she does, she feels weaker. Little does she know, each time she touches it, it drains more of her energy.
The next morning, the store delivers free sample of the Isaac Flower to both Piper's restaurant and Salem Social Services and the flowers affect Piper (Emmalee Thompson) and Paige (Alyssa Milano) the same way. But it’s not just them. Piper’s employees and customers and Paige’s fellow social workers and their clients are suffering the same effects.
Fortunately when Patience (Finola Hughes) presents Prudence with one of the flowers, Prudence recognizes it and stops her daughter before she can touch it.
Checking their family book of shadows, Prudence and Patience learn that the young woman selling the Isaac Flower is a warlock trying to use the energy trapped in the Isaac Flower to revive her mother, who was cursed a long time ago to remain in a slumber state and become one with the flowers. Doing some more research in other books, the two Warrens discover that a century ago, this warlock endangered the local forests of Salem by harming the wood nymphs.

But will the nymphs be willing to help when time is running for the citizens of Salem, including Paige, Piper and Phoebe who are affected by the Isaac Flowers? The warlock has put them all in trances, and summoned them to her garden. There they each present the warlock with their Isaac Flower. Even as the victim drops to the ground in a faint, the warlock transfers the energy in the flowers to her mother, hoping to break the curse by reviving her mother from her slumber.

Before the Warrens decide what to do about this, Piper (Emmalee Thompson) and Phoebe (Megan Corletto) are pulled into the past. The older Warrens are devastated, wondering During the summer, Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper. On the first day of her last week before she returns to school, her editor offers her a challenge: if she comes up with a killer article before the end of the week, she'll put it on the cover. Phoebe knows that putting a cover on her resume would work wonders when she goes job-hunting after she earns her degree in a few years, besides ensuring her another chance at interning the following summer.
She decides to do her article on the history of Salem – the good parts of Salem rather than the witch trials that most Americans know about. She even begs her mother for the use one of her old antique cameras to capture the style of an old-time photo to go along with her article. Patience doesn’t want anyone but her to use the camera but agrees to help her daughter by taking the pictures herself. But when Phoebe directs her to take a photo in downtown Salem and Patience snaps the shuttle, both Patience and Phoebe literally disappear into thin air, leaving behind the camera.
When they find themselves taking a similar picture, except back in the 1920’s, suddenly they find themselves back in the 2020’s, unable to prevent themselves from doing this yet again. They realize that they are stuck in an everlasting time loop with no way of stopping it.
Elsewhere, as the family prepares to enjoy their weekly family dinner at Piper’s restaurant, Prudence, Paige and Piper become worried when Patience and Phoebe do not show up. The three Warrens eventually find the camera, and when Prudence touches the camera, she gets a premonition of the past, which shows Patience and Phoebe in the 20s. Realizing that Prudence never sees the past, but only the future, they realize that Patience and Phoebe are caught in an everlasting time loop. This is especially true when Patience and Phoebe suddenly return, take the picture and then disappear.
The other three Warrens hurry home, heading straight to their book of shadows for both answers. They find a way to break the everlasting loop which will let them rescue Patience and Phoebe, but it can only be done by making Patience and Phoebe stay and experience the Roaring 20’s past midnight, and that can only happen if they can get the camera away from Patience so she can’t take a picture in the past. Only then will they be returned to their own time and be able to stay. But the only Warren who can freeze molecules is Phoebe…

A Very Warren Valentine
Written by Sheryl J. Anderson
Season 2, Episode 13
Episode Number: 35
It's that time of year when boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives all go that extra length to do something nice for their special someone. Both Phoebe (Megan Corletto) and Paige (Alyssa Milano) are without dates, although Paige just isn't in the mood this year, especially given her track record with men, and her recent. She's busy working on an SSS case and doesn't want to be interrupted.
Then the day before Valentine's Day, there's a massive crisis at Piper's (Emmalee Thompson) old restaurant and because she's busy organizing a Valentine's Day event at her Salem restaurant and she's also two staff members down, she has to send her manager, Matthew Tate (recurring guest star Jake Sakson), to San Francisco to try to fix the problem. She's very bummed because there’s been a spark between them and she was kind of hoping that maybe this Valentine’s Day, he’d let her know how he feels about her. But she knows this is more important and as her mother, Patience (Finola Hughes), tells her, if there’s truly something there, there will be plenty of Valentine's Days in their future.
But when Phoebe and Paige find out, they decide that if neither of them can find happiness with a guy this year, they want at least one Warren to have a chance at having a special day. So Paige transports Phoebe to San Francisco and it's Phoebe who helps solve the problems there, while Paige transports Matthew back to Salem.
Meanwhile, Prudence (Jennifer Rhodes) and Patience visit the cemetery, wanting to be closer to Allen and Victor on this special day. But as they arrive, they find another woman (Frances Bay) placing flowers on Allen's grave. Deciding not to rush over, they over-hear the woman talk about coming to the grave at least once a year for being so very important to her.
This shocks and worries Prudence - Allen had a life she never knew about and that he never told her about? Patience can't stand seeing her mother so upset, so she takes her by the hand and marches her over to the grave and in a very un-Patience-like manner, she tells this woman exactly who Prudence is - she even points out the fact that there are two names on that gravestone, and the one with only a birthdate is Prudence Warren.
That's when the woman smiles and tells them not to be concerned - it was always Prudence whom Allen loved, but one night at a bar, he helped convince her to not give up on love to her now deceased husband, and she, in turn, helped convince Allen that he shouldn't let go of Prudence despite her premonitions of becoming the matriarch of the Elemental Witches and all the dangers that would ensue.
But nothing comes without another matter needing the Elemental Witches' help. No sooner does Prudence hug this woman to thank her while Patience apologizes than Prudence is hit with a premonition. Without realizing it, a local shop is selling a supposed love potion that makes a couple of innocents go on a rampage. Piper's the one who helps them realize that they shouldn't worry about the future, and try and make what happens in the present count. She knows this from experience because Matthew has told her that he's falling in love with the boss. And since that's not a good idea, while in San Francisco, he took another job offer that will keep him on the road. He'll visit her often, but...

Manor Bound
Written by Paul Ruditis
Season 3, Episode 05
Episode Number: 48
The Warrens throw Phoebe and Paige another joint belated birthday party, but in typical-Warren fashion, it doesn't go without a little trouble. Something is keeping the five Warrens stuck inside Warren Manor. None of their Elemental powers give them a means of escape.
As long as they're stuck, the five women try to figure out their future:
-Phoebe (Megan Corletto), who only needs a few more credits before finally graduating college, has been given the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to intern at a major newspaper in Boston - and she'd get to work for her favorite reporter. But despite Salem's proximity to Boston, Phoebe is still wary of being away from her family, especially with Peyton still loose.
-Piper (Emmalee Thompson) wonders about her own future with Matthew (recurring guest star Jake Sakson), who should return shortly from his business trip. Does she really want to distract her family from the problem of Peyton with the idea of planning a wedding?
-Paige (Alyssa Milano) can't stop wondering if she will ever figure out a way to save her daughter, Peyton (who she thinks of as little Clara Thomas, not Charisma Carpenter), and if not, will she be able to figure a way to vanquish her that won't let her return.
-Patience (Finola Hughes) is considering retiring from the police department and just do photography as a hobby.
-And Prudence (Jennifer Rhodes) has a health issue that she's trying to keep secret from her family while preparing them for the inevitable.
To their surprise, when Matthew Tate (Jake Sakson) walks in the door, the five women can walk out.

For the first time since her experiences as a warlock, Paige (Alyssa Milano) returns to work at Salem Social Services to discover a pile of new files on her desk. The first file details the case of a mother trying to get through to her very reckless daughter before she actually kills someone.
Deciding that if she can't get through to Peyton, Paige is determined to help another mother who she discovers is also a witch. Much like Peyton and Sam, the witch's warlock lover is determined to convert his daughter.

Keep Your Friends Close, Keep Your Witches Closer
Written by Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin
Season 3, Episode 8
Episode Number: 49
Prudence (Jennifer Rhodes) refuses to believe that her old coven truly wants to steal their powers and become the Elemental Witches themselves and she convinces the others that what they saw had to be fake. Thanks to this, nothing will save the Warrens from what is right in front of them.
Even while she pretended to still be the Warrens’ friend, Andrea (recurring guest star Rebecca Balding), still possessed by Peyton, stole the spell to separate a witch from her powers from the Warren book of shadows, and her coven used the spell to concoct a potion.
Now the Warrens have no idea that the glasses of wine sitting on their dining room table actually contain the potions, and Paige (Alyssa Milano), Piper (Emmalee Thompson), and Phoebe (Megan Corletto) have already taken a sip. Even as Prudence keeps talking, Patience (Finola Hughes) raises her glass to her lips…
Elemental Outrage
Written by Paul Ruditis
Season 3, Episode 9
Episode Number: 50
Having stolen the Warrens’ control over fire, earth, air and water, Andrea (recurring guest star Rebecca Balding), still possessed by Peyton (guest star Charisma Carpenter), and her coven set out to claim the remaining power: spirit.
But even after stealing it and using a spell to bring the control into their own bodies, the coven discovers that they are unable to tap into the full powers of the Elementals because they were not born with that control. Eventually the Elementals control them and everything to do with Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirt spins out of control. Can the coven return that control to the Warrens before the whole world explodes?
The Fall of the House of Warren
Written by Chris Levinson and Zach Estrin
Season 3, Episode 10
Episode Number: 51
With their powers now back and the world back to normal, the Warrens take on Andrea (recurring guest star Rebecca Balding), still possessed by Peyton (guest star Charisma Carpenter), and her coven who are now warlocks since they used their powers to harm innocents. But the Warrens may be out of options when each finds herself at odds with the laws that affect their daily lives and jobs:
-Phoebe (Megan Corletto) is expelled from Salem College for cheating on an exam.
-Piper's (Emmalee Thompson) restaurant is closed for health code violations.
-Paige (Alyssa Milano) is sued by her client for turning her son into a criminal.
-Patience (Finola Hughes) is kicked out of the force when dirty pictures of her and the chief of police end up on her camera.
-None of the non-profits where Prudence (Jennifer Rhodes) volunteers want her to return.
The Warrens have finally figured out that since they’ve never seen them in the same place, Peyton (recurring guest star Charisma Carpenter) must be possessing Andrea (recurring guest star Rebecca Balding), and Peyton must be behind what’s going on. When Andrea shows up, they use a potion and a Power of the Elements spell to separate Peyton from Andrea, freeing Andrea from the possession, and then, much as it hurts them, especially Paige, they vanquish their granddaughter/niece/daughter/cousin.

Episode Number: 52
Even as the Warrens mourn over their need to vanquish the ghost of Peyton, Piper (Emmalee Thompson) and Matthew (Jake Sakson) decide that with Valentine's Day around the corner, why not try to bring some light into Warren Manor by getting married, just by going to the justice of the peace. Phoebe (Megan Corletto) goes with them as witness and her sister's maid of honor.

Phoebe (Megan Corletto) goes with them as witness and her sister's maid of honor.
PVILLE: No big wedding ceremony here.
OLGA: No, not in this one.
While they're gone, the rest of the family decide that they’ll have to hurry if they want to put together a wedding celebration for the newlyweds.
PVILLE: At least they have a wedding celebration so that counts.
OLGA:
Even as they do, they reminisce about their own great past loves via flashbacks: Prudence (Jennifer Rhodes) about Allen (guest star Patrick Cassidy), and Patience (Finola Hughes) about Victor (guest star James Read). Even Andrea (recurring guest star Rebecca Balding) reminisce about the man she wishes had been her great love, but who she let get away because her parents didn't want her to marry a black man (special guest star Dorian Gregory).
OLGA: What the Charmed Family said.
Paige (Alyssa Milano) can’t help but think about Sam (guest star Scott Jaeck), which makes her think about her daughter and everything that went on.
PVILLE: Again, can't help but feel for her.
OLGA:
But even as the family sits in the living room, waiting for the newlyweds to return, the ghost of their ancestor, Penelope Warren (special recurring guest star Holly Marie Combs) shows up. We see a flashback showing the ghost of her sister, Jenna (special recurring guest star Shannen Doherty), has kept Penelope trapped on the other side, but now that Jenna's been vanquished, she can let her descendants know the truth.
PVILLE: This is interesting.
OLGA:
The Warrens are in shock. Jenna’s been vanquished? But they thought it was Peyton. No, Penelope tells them. It was always Jenna who both possessed the woman who was brain-dead and Andrea, but who lied when she said she was Peyton, thinking that the Warrens would never vanquish Peyton after how much it hurt to do it the first time. Besides, Penelope adds, smiling at Paige, how could Peyton possess anyone when she’s been reincarnated as Phoebe? Now Paige knows why Phoebe was always her favorite niece since the day she was born - her soul recognized the soul within Phoebe as her own daughter's soul allowed to be raised as Victor's daughter rather than Sam's.
PVILE: WOW! The big twist here took me by surprise with this one. But it fits with why Phoebe was always Paige's favorite niece.
OLGA: Quite a twist hey.
Relieved by this revelation, the family can truly celebrate when the newlyweds walk in the door.

ES: So? What do you think? And NOW, you're FINALLY done with Elemental Charmed!
PVILLE: WOW! Lots of surprises with this now, I liked it.
Now, I'm finally done with EC, bittersweet. I really enjoyed the ride.
OLGA: That you are, PVILLE, I hope you had so much fun reading it.
