Murphy's Luck


"He'll mess with her head and try to take her back to the same dark place and he'll say whatever he has to and make her do something she would never otherwise do."
                                                                                          -Leo


    Prue is applying for a job as a journalist photographer. The boss says that she did a great job with the pictures she has taken before but as for resume, it sucks. She tells him that he is not hiring her resume. As a test he asks her to take pictures of a woman called Maggie Murphy who was once famous for her good acts and suddenly became lost and unhappy.
    When Prue arrives at Maggie's building she sees her trying to jump from the ledge. What she doesn't see is a man standing behind her and persuading her to jump by telling her that she's bad and people are being killed because of her. While she is jumping Prue astral projects on the roof and catches her hand. But unfortunately it slips. Prue makes her fall slowly on the ground using telekinesis then runs away. Maggie notices what happened and tries to stop her.
    Back at the manor, Phoebe is surprised to see Piper in the kitchen when she is supposed to be at the club. Piper tells her that she is figuring out what to tell Dan about Leo without hurting him because he has been nice. Phoebe tells her to stop predicting the future because that's her job. Phoebe advises her to follow her heart and good things will happen.
    At the police station, Darryl is convincing Maggie to come in but she refuses, scared that something bad will happen because of her. She tells him about Prue who she thought was an angel. While Maggie is describing her Darryl recognizes that it is Prue and calls her as soon as she arrives at the manor. Darryl tells her whom Maggie described then she hangs up and goes with Phoebe to check up on Maggie.
    At P3, Piper and Leo are cleaning the club but Leo seems to be distracted by Piper's legs. Then suddenly , she drops a box of swizzle sticks and starts to clean them up. Leo thinks that she is mad at him but Piper tells him than she is imagining how much Dan is going to be upset when he finds  out that Leo is the one she really loves. Happy, Leo kisses Piper but she tells him that nothing will happen before she breaks up with Dan.
    At the police station, the guy after Maggie arrives disguised as a police officer while Darryl is comforting Maggie. She accidentally drops coffee on him. When Prue and Phoebe arrive, Prue sees that Maggie is upset and lonely and decides to cast a luck spell on her. The bad guy sees her casting this spell that seems to work on Maggie. Upset the guy curses Prue. Later while she is driving with Phoebe she accidentally crashes into another car, knocking Phoebe unconscious.
    When Prue and Phoebe arrive at P3, Piper is surprised to know what happened and Leo hurries to get Phoebe an aspirin. They notice that Piper has kissed Leo and they tell her to fix her lipstick. While Prue is on the phone, telling her boss about the latest news, Phoebe tells Piper and Leo what was happening with Maggie. Leo realizes that bad luck seems to be turning against Prue. When Prue hangs up she tells her sister that she will be fired if she doesn't get the photos done by 12:00. So Phoebe tells her that it is a good reason to go and check up on Maggie. Prue accidentally knocks some glasses from the table and she gives Phoebe the car keys so that she won't cause any more troubles. Leo tells Piper that he was thinking about Maggie and tells her that Maggie was doing all these good things and suddenly her life went downhill. He adds that he thinks that all these accident are caused by a dark lighter.
    When Prue and Phoebe arrive to see Maggie Prue asks Maggie's doctor (who is actually the dark lighter) how Maggie is. He replies that Maggie still feels responsible for her family's troubles and pain. Than when Prue turns to see Maggie he throws bad luck in her camera and orbs out. Prue introduces herself to Maggie. She thanks her for what she has done and realizes that Prue is the photographer who is supposed to take her pictures. While Prue is taking her pictures, Phoebe asks Maggie why she was ready to jump and Maggie answers that she wanted to stop the voices in her head that were telling her that she was hurting people and she was causing troubles wherever she went. She thinks she was cursed. Then suddenly Prue gets up and asks Phoebe to take a cab home. She leaves, not seeming to care what Maggie said.
    At the manor, Leo and Piper are consulting the BOS when Dan calls. Uncomfortable, Piper talks with him and tells him that they need to talk when he gets home. Then she hangs up. Leo comforts her and tells her that he is worried about Prue and he makes her read about the dark lighter. Piper discovers that it forces good souls to suicide.
    At the magazine, Prue isn't hired because her photos didn't worked and weren't clear. Upset she leaves and suddenly the dark lighter appears behind her telling her that it is all her fault and that she is hurting people.
    When Phoebe arrives at the manor Leo tells her that a dark lighter cursed Prue and that he might have seen her casting the spell on Maggie. Piper tries to call Prue but the magazine tells her that she has left.
    Phoebe gets one of her premonitions about Prue a long time ago taking pictures from the bridge and crying. Piper tells Leo that Grams was hard on Prue and made her protect them. Grams knew that they were going to become witches and would let nothing jeopardize that. But Phoebe doesn't agree that Prue will jump from the bridge but Leo tells her that the dark lighter will mess with her head and convince her to jump and tells them that they can't find the dark lighter without their white lighter. Unfortunately Leo is mortal now and can't sense him.
    Then the phone rings and Phoebe answers. It is Prue. She tells her that she lost her job and needs them to come and get her because she can't start her car. When Phoebe tries to tell her about the dark lighter, the dark lighter curses the phone and Phoebe loses Prue. Piper has the idea of finding Prue using Maggieí luck and Phoebe agrees with her. Before she goes, Piper asks Leo to stay at the manor and wait for Prue even if he hates to be useless.
    Meanwhile the dark lighter is destroying Prue by telling her that no one can help and she is all alone. She tries to help a boy but accidentally makes him fall.
    Piper and Phoebe ask Maggie to point at the map. When she does Piper drives her car to the place where Maggie pointed. Meanwhile, the dark lighter is persuading Prue to jump from the bridge because it is the only way to save the people she loves. He also blames her for Andy's death.
    At the manor, Leo is upset and asks for his powers back. He tells "THEM" that he didn't want to lose Piper before but not at the expense of losing one of her sisters and suddenly "THEY" give him his power back.
    Piper and Phoebe arrive at the bridge and see Prue who is seemingly ready to jump. While they are going up the bridge to save her they try to tell her that a dark lighter is after her. Afraid that his plan won't work he yells at her to jump fast but unfortunately for him Prue turns back and pushes him away from her. Suddenly Leo orbs in and catches the dark lighter . Piper is surprised to see him and she and Phoebe arrives to help Prue.
    That night at the manor, Piper and Phoebe ask Prue about the the old photos she took at that same bridge. She tells them that she was really in pain and took this photo to remember that time. She puts the photo in the fire and shows them the magazine where they have put Maggie's picture signed by Prue Hallowed.
    When the door bell rings, Piper tells her sister that she'll get it, but before she does Phoebe asks what she will do if it's Dan. She answers that nothing will change her mind even if Leo has his wings back. Fortunately for her, it is Leo. He tells her that he wasn't sure how she would feel about him getting his wings back. Piper answers that she meant what she said and that she thought about it very much and found that they can make this relationship work. Then she hugs him tenderly.
