things have been occurring at the manor, and when it is burglarized, Prue,

haunting them.
6) Primrose Path (Nov 9th 2000, USA) (Written By Erica) While trying to help a supposed future empath, Prue finds herself casting a spell to take away his pain but only gets herself the empath's power, which is to feel everyone's emotions, causing her to rest on the verge of insanity. Turns out that the future empath that Prue was supposedly helping was a demon cursed by an empath to have to suffer human emotions. Cole sent signs for Prue to find the demon assuming that she would die but that was not the case. With the help of the empath that cursed the demon, Father Thomas (who had a nervous breakdown because he wasn't able to help people the way he used to) she learned how to get a hold of this power and use it to her own advantage. The Charmed Ones are unstoppable even against this unstoppable demon, Prue being her heroine self kicked some demon butt with the power boost she got from the emotions of the world in her mind. Prue also helped Piper and Leo sort through their "Couple Problems" and also makes Phoebe realize how Cole really feels about her. An over all great episode with fabulous acting from Shannen Doherty.

9) Coyote Piper When a she-demon takes possession of Piper before her 10-year high-school reunion, it is up to Prue and Phoebe to rescue their unsightly sister. An evil spirit existing in the form of a gas escapes an alchemist who wants to control it and enters the body of a man to hunt for one of the Halliwell sisters. Meanwhile, Prue helps Piper prepare for the middle sister's 10-year high-school reunion, an event Piper dreads attending.
10) We all scream for Ice Cream (Jan 18th 2001, USA) Prue has a melody stuck in her head and she discovers its origin while having lunch with Phoebe in a park---it's the sound of an ice-cream truck whose driver abducts children.

An evil ice-cream man lures Prue and Phoebe into another dimension, where they are tricked into harming an innocent person
11) Blinded By The WhiteLighter (Jan 25th 2001, USA) Prue, Phoebe and Piper go up against their most powerful opponent when an ancient warlock, capable of sucking the magical powers from his victims, begins systematically annihilating the witches of the world, but help from an interfering, "by the book" "Whitelighter" breeds animosity between Piper and Leo.

Her plan is to combine all of the spells into a painful death for the witches of the world, especially the Charmed Ones, who are the biggest threat to her. Which will hopefully get the dangerously handsome warlock she is in love with, Zile, married to a good witch so he can become a very powerful warlock.

15)
Just Harried
Piper is praying for a demon-free wedding day, but Prue's astral self has other
plans as dreams take her into a wild world of no rules and responsibility that
affect reality when the police arrest Prue on suspicion of murder.
The Following summary was written by my friend Kristin, when she saw the ep and i still haven’t:
In the beginning Grams is
there, helping Prue and Phoebe prepare. Piper's happy it's
finally happening, because
she kept telling herself if something else went wrong, it just
wasn't meant to be. Prue's
really tired though, and she goes to bed. But then she astral projects into
some bar, where she kisses this guy named TJ. Once she leaves though this guy
keeps bothering her and she hits him. But then the real Prue wakes
up, thinking that it's just
a dream.
The next morning Piper wakes
up and there are rose petals all over her bed! It's so sweet. Phoebe comes in
and jumps on her bed. Prue tells them about her dream, but Piper's freaked
it's a demon. Prue promises that it'll be okay though.
Leo shows up and he and
Victor are stuck in the basement getting ready together. Victor finally starts
to accept Leo. Cole also comes, which is pretty funny. He's nice now.
And then when Piper's
getting ready, her mom shows up. The Elders sent her down because of all the
bad things they'd done to poor Piper. So she and Piper talk and then Prue and
Phoebe come in and they all hug. :)
Then we have the first, well
actually the second attempt at a wedding. Victor is really surprised to see
Patty. And oops, the whole thing gets crashed by TJ on his motor cycle, who's
come because the cops are after Prue. That guy she hit wound up dead and now
she's wanted for murder. The real Prue collapses and the astral Prue appears
and runs off with him. The whole wedding's destroyed and Piper calls it off,
just before running out of the house.
Leo sends everyone off to do
various jobs. He and Cole go to try and find the real killer. Phoebe stuck
with the book, trying to get Prue back. Victor and Patty go after poor Piper.
Basically, Cole can sense
the true murderer in the bar. So they call Darryl. Prue's with TJ, trying to
be free. She's basically escaping from her responsibilities. Phoebe finally
finds a spell to call her back though. Astral Prue is really mad at her. But
Phoebe's even more mad at astral Prue for destroying their sister. They talk
for awhile,
and Phoebe realizes that
Prue is just trying to escape. But she tells her that Prue doesn't have to
take care of them anymore. She and Piper are fine, or will be once they fix
the wedding. So Astral Prue finally dissapears and the real Prue comes back.
But then the cops come and take her away.
Meanwhile, Patty and Victor
try and talk to Piper. But Piper's convinced that her wedding isn't meant to
be. All she has to do is look at what happened to her parents marriage. That
didn't work either.
Cole manages to get the
murderer to confess, by changing into his demonic form. So Prue gets let off.
Next thing you know she's back at the house with Darryl and Piper.
Piper's ready to get married now. But the power's out because the cops cut the lines. So Leo provides a little light, and Grams helps with the music. And the wedding goes on. It's so sweet. Their vows are great.
16)
Death takes a Halliwell
Prue sees a woman, with a strange black shadow
following her, she takes her picture and yells to warn the woman, but the
woman runs away. Meanwhile some demons, Seekers, are trying to find
Belthazor/Cole. They go to his apartment, bite the landlady and drain her
knowledge of Cole. They discover she knows someone who might know where he is.
While Prue develops the photo and discovers the shadow has vanished, an
Inspector interrogates Phoebe about Cole. He tells her the landlady is dead
and that Cole killed her. Prue arrives as the Inspector leaves, and notices
that the woman, with the shadow, is leaving with him. Prue follows the
Inspector, while Phoebe goes to warn Cole. The woman is dropped off at the
Inspector's office, where the Seekers are waiting. Prue follows her and finds
the Seeker's hovering over her body. They disappear and the mysterious shadow
becomes the Angel of Death. Cole and Phoebe revisit his apartment. Phoebe gets
a premonition of Prue watching the Seekers kill the Inspector. Cole goes to
the crypt and waits for the Inspector, Prue astral projects herself there. The
Inspector arrives at the crypt, followed by the Seekers and is knocked
unconscious in a fight. As the Seekers attack Cole, the Angel of Death appears
and Prue fights him. Cole sends a blast to the Seekers and they disappear, the
Angel leaves. They take the Inspector back to the Manor, where he regains
consciousness and runs away. While Cole waits at the Manor, Piper and Phoebe
follow the Inspector and Prue summons the Angel. He arrives and tells her that
he's not good or evil just inevitable. She is unconvinced and he takes her
with him on his next journey. The Inspector is at the funeral of his friend
and the Seekers approach him. He tells them that he'll go with them, but not
to harm the people here. Prue and Phoebe follow them into a crypt. The Seekers
barricade the door and begin to feast on the Inspector. The Angel and Prue
arrive and the Angel forces her to accept that she can't do anything to save
him. The Seekers and the Angel disappear and the girls go back to the Manor
where Cole is in full fight with the Seekers. They cast a spell to destroy the
Seekers. Prue goes to the beach to contemplate her mother's death the Angel
shows up and says her name. She asks how knows here name, he replies that he
looked on his list and saw that he was supposed to take her life in the Crypt,
but Cole saved her. Prue is shocked, but she accepts that death is inevitable
and the Angel disappears.
