"It's a beautiful sunset isn't it?
I don't think there's been one quite like it in 128 years..."
-Prue
It's a nice sunny day in the Bay Area, although for some reason both Phoebe
and her father are carrying umbrellas. They chat as they wander the grounds
of an old ghost town. Victor questions
Phoebe
about Leo, who he is, what he does. And Phoebe begins to realize that her
father has yet to discover the truth about the man who is soon to be his
son-in-law. Meanwhile, Phoebe's a little confused about why her father
chose to bring her on this particular outing. Finally he reveals that he's
considering buying the place, but that it seems to be cursed, having scared
away all of it's investors. He wants Pheebs to work some of her mojo, and
maybe a little fung shui on the town. He's hoping she can tell him if it's
really cursed.
Suddenly Phoebe
sees a Native American man being tossed out of the saloon. The man, Bo,
is punched in the face by a cowboy and falls right through Phoebe. The
youngest Halliwell touches her bloody lip as she informs her father that
the fung shui on the place ain't so great. :)
Back at the
manor, Piper is getting ready for her rehearsal dinner. Prue's a little
mystified that she set six places at the table, when there will only be
five people. Piper reluctantly tells her that she set the other place for
her mom. Prue hugs her little sister as Leo appears. And then in come Victor
and Leo.
Phoebe quickly
tells her family what happened. Leo is ready to heal her lip, but Phoebe
stops him, then sends her father outside to get the files on the town.
Once he's gone she tells them that their father doesn't know about Leo.
He and Prue turn on Piper, who sheepishly informs them that she hasn't
gotten around to to telling him yet. After their mom had an affair with
her whitelighter, Piper's not too excited about giving him the news. Victor
comes back and decides to take Leo to lunch, leaving his daughters to look
in their book.
At a restaurant
Leo is nervously chugging his water. Victor tries to warn him about the
dangers of marrying a witch. Danger numero uno? Whitelighters. They're
sneaky little creatures who come in and steal a mortal's wife before he
can even realize what's happening. Leo just sits there, saying nothing.
The elder Halliwell
sisters keep up the research as Phoebe inspects her new bruises. She seems
to be getting more of Bo's injuries. Prue can't find any of the records
for the town after 1873. She suspects it's some kind of time loop. But
then Piper flips to another page in the BoS and realizes that it's some
kind of curse. A great evil must have occurred and cursed the town into
a time loop, one
that
can only be broken when the wrong is righted.
The door bell
rings and Prue answers it, only to see Cole bearing flowers. He walks into
the house, only to have Prue send him flying. Phoebe and Piper rush in
as Cole informs them all that he's not giving up on Phoebe. Piper and Prue
aren't exactly happy to find that he's back and Phoebe wants nothing to
do with him. Cole notices then that she is hurt. And then suddenly she
collapses. Bo's been shot and so has Phoebe.
Over at the
restaurant, Victor is still ranting about whitelighters. And then Leo gets
called by his fiancé. He smiles nervously and glances around, checking
to see if anyone else is nearby. Then he tells Victor that he has to go,
just before he orbs out.
Leo arrives
back at the manor and is surprised to see Cole. He tries to heal Phoebe,
but it doesn't work since she wasn't actually the one who was shot. They
decide that they need to heal Bo. Cole can get to the alternate world where
the time loop exists and then bring Bo back so that Leo can heal him. Prue
insists that she will go with him, although she doesn't look happy about
it. As they disappear the door slams and Victor runs in, shouting a few
choice words at Leo. But Leo and Piper hurriedly orb out, back to the fung
shui town, leaving Victor with Phoebe.
Prue and Cole
arrive in the old west and try to fit in. They wander into the saloon,
attempting to
get
some info on Bo. The bar owner informs them that there's been trouble with
Sutter, a main guy in town. Suddenly Sutter arrives. He holds up a newspaper
he's already printed announcing Bo's death at sunset. Then he demands to
know where the man is hiding. He asks Bo's sister Isabelle who's also at
the bar. But when no one answers he directs one of his men to rough people
up. Prue intervenes and as the bar brawl breaks out, Cole also gets into
it with one of the cowboys. In the end the two stand up to the men and
Sutter leaves, promising to burn the town to the ground if he cannot find
Bo. The cowboy yells at Cole, telling him that the they'll have a score
to settle later.
Prue and Cole
leave the saloon with Isabelle. She explains that Sutter killed the sheriff
and pretty
much
took over the town. He's after Bo now, because Bo stood up to him. Isabelle
explains that she can trust Prue and Cole, because Bo had dreams about
people coming to help him. Like Phoebe, he too, seems to have visions of
the future. Cole wants to end it quickly by killing Sutter. Prue explains
that if he wants to be good, his first instinct shouldn't be to kill.
Meanwhile, Piper
and Leo wander through the ghost town. They search the saloon and find
the old newspaper that Sutter held up. They had thought that Bo wouldn't
die until midnight, but now they discover that he's due to die at sundown.
They have to find a way to tell Prue and Cole, because if Bo dies, then
Phoebe dies too.
Back at the manor, Phoebe tells her father that she's going to die, she
can feel it. But her father insists that her sisters won't let that happen
and neither will he. Piper and Leo finally return and tell Phoebe what
they've learned. They need her to try and get a premonition about Bo's
death. If she can see it, then Bo should be able to see it to.
Prue, Cole and
Isabelle reach the church where Bo is hiding. Prue wants to do the talking.
She still doesn't trust Cole and she wants him to leave her and her sisters
alone once this is over. He explains that they'll have to vanquish him
before he'll do that.
They find Bo
in the church, but he is immediately suspicious of them. They show him
their powers though and he seems ready to believe them. Prue uses her telekinesis
to get the bullet out of
Bo,
just as Phoebe has her premonition. Bo sees it and realizes what is destined
to happen.
At the manor,
Phoebe is crying hysterically. She saw Bo shot down in front of the entire
town. Nobody tried to do anything, nobody was willing to stop Sutter. Seeing
his daughter in pain, Victor lashes out at Leo, angry that he can't do
anything. But Leo tells him that he has to trust Prue and Cole. Victor
isn't ready to trust a demon though. Leo explains that Cole will do anything
to save Phoebe. The youngest Halliwell agrees, knowing that Cole loves
her as much as she loves him.
Back at the
church, the small group realizes that Sutter is coming. Someone must have
followed
them
there. Cole wants to take Bo back to Leo so that he can be healed. But
Prue knows that that won't fix the time loop. They have to try something
else. Cole's stunned that she's willing to sacrifice her own sister, but
Prue explains that there is always a greater good to think about.
Bo decides that
he must give himself up. He knows that the curse came from his father's
people. It happened because the town's people did nothing, that was the
great evil that started it all. Now he needs to give the people the chance
to save themselves. Prue reluctantly agrees with the plan.
Sutter drags
Bo into the center of the town and starts whipping him viciously. Back
at the manor
poor
Phoebe can feel it. Prue and Cole try to rally the townspeople to stop
Sutter. Finally the man pulls his gun and is about to kill Bo. But one
of the men shoots the gun right out of his hand, and the rest of the townspeople
finally pull their weapon on Sutter. Sutter jumps on his horse and tries
to make a getaway, but Prue chases him down, shooting him off of the horse,
then using her power to toss him into a building. Bo and Isabelle come
over to her, wondering if the curse is broken. Prue sees the sun setting
and realizes that it is. Time will finally move on in this town.
Back in the
saloon Cole and his enemy are having a shoot out. Cole is out of bullets
and the man is
ready to kill him. But suddenly Cole uses his power, turning the man into
a ball of fire. Cole laughs, then stops when he realizes that Prue has
caught him in the act. Any faith that Prue had in him has vanished completely.
Prue and Cole
return to the manor to find Phoebe healed. She thanks both of them for
saving her. Now it's time for the rehearsal dinner. Cole is about to leave
when Phoebe stops him. She kisses him, telling him that he's not going
anywhere. Piper, Prue Phoebe and Leo look away as Phoebe smiles at her
demonic boyfriend. Then they all wander into the dining room.
