An attack by a warlock has a most unusual effect. Instead of being killed, the sisters and their friends end up as characters in the movie "The Wizard of Oz".

Phoebe came into the manor. Prue and Piper looked at her from the living room.
"Did you get it?" asked Prue.
Phoebe smiled and held up videotape.
"Apparently they don't rent it much," said Phoebe. "They said it had been months since it was last rented."
"Great," said Piper. "It's going to be just like when we were kids. I've already got the popcorn made."
"What are we watching?" asked Leo, coming in from the kitchen.
"They wouldn't tell me," said Cole in the living room. "Just that it was something they used to watch when they were children."
" Oh yeah," said Phoebe. "When we were kids they used to show it every year on television. Grams didn't care for it but she always let us watch it."
"So enough of the suspense," said Leo. "What is it already?"
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," said Phoebe, holding the tape in front of her.
"Isn't that just called The Wizard of Oz?" asked Leo.
"The movie is," said Piper. "But I read the book. It's called The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. We've just always referred to it that way."
"You're kidding," said Cole. "I thought you'd hate the stereotype of witches in that movie. You always go on a rant at Halloween."
"I do not," protested Phoebe. "Besides this is different. It's a classic film. And it's only a fantasy, after all. Besides, not all the witches in it are ugly hags."
"Right," said Cole, "only the evil witch is ugly. The good witch is beautiful. No, no stereotype there."
"Hush" said Piper. "We're allowed an occasional indulgence."
"Besides," said Prue, "the evil witch gets it in the end."
"Well that changes everything then," said Leo sarcastically.
"You better watch it," said Piper feigning anger, "or I'll keep you frozen through the whole thing. Both of you"
"Okay, okay truce," laughed Cole. "Actually it will be nice to just sit back and relax for a change."
"I'll get the popcorn," said Leo.
They had just begun to watch the movie when there was a knock at the door. Piper answered the door and found Darryl standing outside.
"Darryl," she said, returning to the living room. "We were just watching a movie. You're welcome to join us."
"I can't," said Darryl. "I'm on my way home. I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by for a minute."
"You're missing a great movie," said Phoebe. "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, no less."
"Oh, no thanks," said Darryl. "I've seen that thing a million times."
"I didn't know you liked It.," said Prue.
"I don't," said Darryl. "But my kids love it."
"Isn't that anti-American?" joked Phoebe.
"Okay, okay enough," said Darryl.
"Don't worry," said Leo, "you're not alone. We're only watching it because we were outvoted."
"Leo, honey," said Piper smiling, "is it getting cold in here to you?"
"I think I'd better sit down while I still can," said Leo
"Well," said Darryl, "I just stopped by to say hi. Guess I need to be getting home."
Before Darryl could move, a man suddenly appeared behind him. He smiled and pulled out a long dagger with a serrated edge, then put the blade to Darryl's throat.
"If anyone moves," he said, "he dies."
