And with this episode, the whole Dark Phoebe thing kicks off. This was supposed to happy in the first half of S4, but had to be pushed back when Shannen was fired and they needed to bring Paige in.
Speaking of Paige, she got a raw deal character wise here. When this arc started, they just plugged her into Prue's old role. Her sudden mistrust of Cole and such, that was clearly written with Prue in mind.
Yeah, the scripts were already written. There had been a threat of a writer's strike in the fall of 2001 (which never happened, probably because of 9/11), so the scripts in question were probably written months before. When Kernus decided to go back to this storyline, he simply told the writers to cross out Prue and pencil in Paige.
This cost Paige some much needed character development, something the character never quite recovered from.
