The Truth Is Out There... and It Hurts

Prue stumbles across a truth spell while searching the Book of Shadows for information about a demon Phoebe saw in a premonition.  The spell binds all three sisters to hear and tell the truth for 24 hours.  Piper uses it to get close to the handsome handyman and tell off her overbearing boss, while Phoebe tracks down the demon's next victim.  Prue learns the demon is a warlock from the future who is killing those responsible for creating a vaccine against warlocks.  Phoebe protects the mother of the child who'll one day create this vaccine, while Prue and Piper send the futuristic warlock back through a swirling tunnel of time.  With time running out on the spell, Prue tells Andy she's a witch and finds the truth is too much for him to accept.   The spell ends, and no one but the sisters remember the truths.

Trivia

• The title of the episode is a play on the tv series The X-Files, which has the main tagline The Truth Is Out There
• The episode tells us that only females born into the Halliwell line would inherit magcal powers, however both Chris and Wyatt develop them later on. This could be explained away by the fact the no males have been born into the line in over 300 years.
