"Guess what!" Prue called out to her sisters excitedly when she got back to the mansion, after just being hired at Buckland Auction House.
"What?" an elderly woman she didn't recognize asked, and Prue froze in place looking at her and trying to understand what she was doing in the manor.
"Prue," Piper said, sounding relieved, as she came over from the kitchen with a bowl in her hands, "Thank God you're home. Perry, Prue's home!"
"Yeah, who..?" Prue started in confusion.
"Here you go, Brittany," Piper told the stranger calmingly, handing her the bowl, "Why don't you go sit down at the table, okay? There you go."
"Umm… sorry, Brittany?" Prue said, as Brittany walked away carefully.
"You're not gonna believe this," Piper said, "I'm not sure I do. We think- No, we know this woman is Brittany Reynolds."
"Yeah, right, Piper. And I'm Rosie O'Donnell."
"No, I mean it. Brittany has a tattoo, right? An angel on her right hand, remember?"
Looking at the elderly woman, Prue saw exactly the same tattoo on her hand as well. "That can't be…" she whispered in shock.
"That's what we thought at first, but then we started asking her some questions. Things only Brittany would know. She might be senile, but it was enough to convince me."
"And me," Perry said, walking downstairs with the Book of Shadows, "I found it, Piper. See?"
She showed them the page Piper told her about earlier, and read, "Javna feeds one week out of every year, stealing the life force from the young by invoking the black magic power of The Evil Eye to gain eternal youth."
"That's gotta be what happened to Brittany," Piper said.
"Yeah, but there must be some kinda incantation to reverse it somehow," Prue said.
"There is," Piper said, taking the book from Perry, she flipped the pages and showed them, "The Hand of Fatima. It says that, the Prophet Muhammad invoked it centuries ago to banish Javna back to… wherever the hell he came from."
"Yeah, well, the problem is we don't know who Javna really is, let alone where he is," Prue reminded her sisters.
"Yeah, I guess I was wrong about that Alec guy," Perry said, "It looks like Javna took Brittany right after we met her the other night, when Alec was with Phoebe."
Just then, they heard the sound of glass breaking in the kitchen.
"Brittany?" Piper called worriedly, but there was no answer. The three sisters hurried over to the kitchen, and saw Brittany sitting on the floor with her back to a cabinet. It looked like the youth-stripped woman has collapsed.
"Oh my God, what happened?" Piper asked as they rushed to check on her.
"Brittany, are you alright?" Perry asked.
"I'll call 9-1-1."
"And tell them what, that she's dying of old age at twenty five?" Prue sarcastically asked Piper.
Noticing a piece of paper in Brittany's hand, Perry picked it up to look at it.
"What is it?" Prue asked.
"It's a cocktail napkin from my restaurant," Piper answered, "With Stefan's address on the back."
But when Brittany heard her mention Stefan, she gasped and said in a fearful voice, "Javna."
"Oh, no…" Perry could barely whisper.
"Prue, that's where Phoebe went," Piper said, sounding as shocked and afraid as Perry felt.
The three sisters drove to Stefan's warehouse studio as fast as they could, hoping they won't be too late. Phoebe has to be okay, please, Perry begged with all her heart to whomever. Her older sisters didn't even bother suggesting she should stay in the manor, since that was obviously not going to happen.
"We'll find her," Prue tried to reassure her younger sisters when they got to the address and didn't see any sign of Phoebe.
"Maybe we should call the police," Piper said.
"No," Prue told her, "If Javna has her we're the only ones who can stop him."
"But we need Phoebe to do it. The incantation only works with the three of us."
At that very instant, they heard a terrified scream which they recognized as Phoebe's voice. The three sisters ran toward her voice with Perry at the front.
She pulled the door open, and saw her twin strapped to a table and Javna standing before her, a laser-like beam of sickening red light coming out of his eyes and connecting with hers. It was clear that it hurt Phoebe.
The demon turned to look at Perry, his eyes still glowing. But before he could do anything, her older sisters followed her inside, and Prue magically threw him against the wall at the far side of the studio.
Piper and Perry hurried to free Phoebe from her restraints, while Prue stayed there to protect them from Javna – who was already getting back on his feet. But the demon managed to capture Prue in his beams of youth-stealing light, holding her paralyzed as she was drawn closer towards him.
Perry watched helplessly as the demon continued his attack on her sister. She wanted to tell Piper to try freezing him, but before she could open her mouth Javna was thrown back and Prue was free from his gaze. Her older sister looked at her in confusion for a second, although Perry had no idea why, but then ran over to join Piper and Phoebe for the Power of Three spell.
"Evil eyes look unto me, may they soon extinguish be," Perry's sisters chanted in unison from the piece of paper in Prue's hands, "Bend thy will to the Power of Three – Eye of Earth, evil and accursed."
"You can't stop me," Javna said, rising back to his feet, but his voice was shaky with pain, "I will live forever!"
Prue spread the palm of her hand, raising it in the demon's direction, and a radiating white glow spread from her fingertips to her entire hand. The glow then turned into a brilliant beam of light that struck Javna, and he screamed in agony as Perry's sisters chanted the incantation again.
"No!" the demon screamed in despair, but seconds later his body was consumed by the light – first his flesh turned to smoke, and then his skeleton was reduced to ash. As the four sisters stared at the pile of ashes left where he stood, recovering from their shock, it was swept it away by the wind.
"Very cool," Phoebe said.
They heard sirens coming, and went outside just in time to be near Quake's delivery van when the police arrived.
"Prue?" Andy said in surprise and worry when he saw them, "What are you doing here?"
"Umm, well, we…" Prue started to say, "Perry was just getting the van started."
"Yeah, Phoebe called, she was having car trouble," Piper explained.
"And I don't have a car so, Prue drove me here," Perry added, "And Piper came too because…"
"Anyway, Stefan was gonna take some pictures of me," Phoebe changed the subject quickly.
"Do you have any idea how lucky you are?" Andy said, and Perry had to stop herself from sighing with relief that Phoebe's distraction worked, "This guy's the stalker."
"No sign of him inside," Inspector Morris came over and told Andy, "His car's here, so he might still be around."
As his partner left, Andy reached through the van's driver side window and turned the ignition. "Yeah, I was just done when we heard the sirens," Perry told him, "So we turned it off and waited out here, you know… So it won't look like we're running away or something."
"Sure," Andy said dryly, sounding doubtful and suspicious.
"Maybe we should go," Phoebe suggested, breaking the tense silence that stretched for a couple of eternally long seconds.
"Good idea," Andy told them, and the three younger sisters left the inspector and Prue alone.
"Uh, thanks," she told him unsurely, still feeling awkward about the somewhat obvious lying, "Call me?"
"Sure."
Catching up with their sisters, Prue quietly told them, "At least now we know for sure that Perry has powers."
"What?" Perry asked in confusion, "What powers? What are you talking about?"
"You can move things with your mind, like I can," her older sister said, as if it was obvious (or even just true).
"No, I can't."
"Then what did you think happened to Javna? My eyes were locked in those rays, remember?"
Perry tried to come up with another explanation, but nothing came to mind. Then she tried to see if she can move something, but that didn't happen either. "More likely you just pushed him away with your powers anyway," she told Prue, "I can't move anything. Honest."
Prue still didn't look convinced, but let it go for now.
