"On their first anniversary of becoming witches, the sisters face a cloven-hoofed demon that steals the Book
of Shadows and tries to unravel their spells one by one." - TNT episode description
On their anniversary of becoming witches Prue, Piper and Phoebe face a bizarre demon who pulls
the Book of Shadows into another dimension and begins reversing each spell, causing vanquished demons to return and slowly
erasing the sisters powers. In addition, Prue's guilt over Andy's tragic death left her weak and reluctant to save their powers.
Eventually the sisters converge on the most powerful night known to witches, the same night they became witches, and join
the power of three to create the power of one recapturing the Book of Shadows and banishing the demon away in a puff of smoke.
Continuing their teamwork, Prue and Phoebe refinance the house to financially support Piper's dream of starting a new night
club. - wgntv.trb.com episode description

Episode Occurences
This is the first time the sisters meet Dan Gordon (their reaction, "Whoa") & his niece Jenny.
Apparently she is living with him because her father works for the state department & is in Saudi Arabia.
The sisters learn that their anniversary falls on the equinox, which makes this a very powerful day for them.
Prue sympathizes with a widow at Buckland's. She also visits Darryl & asks if he knows their secret.
He tells her that he doesn't, but that Andy told him to cover for them in the event of his death & not to blame herself.
Piper is dating a loan officer from the bank. He tries to help her get a $60, 000 loan from his bank so she can
purchase "The Industrial Zone" (which will later become P3). When he is injured during Jeremy's attack & she denies
knowledge of his assailant, he changes his mind & she is eventually denied the loan. However in the end Prue &
Phoebe have taken out a 2nd home equity loan & present the money to Piper & tell her they will be her partners.

Phoebe notices Kit's collar with the Triquetra on it. Later the sisters realize that although the BOS says they
need the power of one to fight, this actually means that with their powers of 3 become one to conquer Abraxas.
In this episode the sisters realize that the BOS is in the Astral Plane. If Abraxas has read to the end of the
book & undone every spell the last one (which originally granted them their powers) would have taken them away.
Prue later mentions that Phoebe loves being a witch too much to give it up.
The sisters learn that this ordeal is a Rite of Passage (from the BOS), which states - "Right of Passage - fight it with
the power of 1, or else. . . a more powerful Evil that awaits will destroy you."
The sisters try to fight Abraxas in the attack, but fail. Later, after Prue has recovered, they defeat him in the
park, where they are most powerful for that day.
Grams shows herself after whispering about the power of 3 all during the episode & in the end leaves the following
message to them in the BOS "Happy Anniversary, My Darlings".

Magical Notes
Initiation is a ritual consistent with both Wicca & witchcraft traditions, but while
Wicca recognizes both self-initiation & initiation through coven-based ritual, witchcraft tends to recognize only the
group rituals of initiation. The self-initiation rites, which would include Phoebe's first casting of the Power of Three spell,
would be regarded as a simple dedication without the bindings oaths of a more formal group rite.
A simple ritual, acceptable as an initiation amoung most Wiccans & a initial dedication in other groups,
is enacted inside a protective circle. After a period of meditation, the postulant goes through the following incantation
three times:
In this circle, rightly drawn,
Knowledge is sought,
Truth be found.
In this circle, a magic seal,
A mind open,
A soul to heal.
