-'''Morality Bites''' is an episode of [[The WB Television Network|The WB]] drama series, ''[[Charmed]]''.
-==Synopsis==
-After the Charmed Ones use their powers to secretly punish an ignorant man, [[Phoebe Halliwell|Phoebe]] receives a [[premonition]].  In this premonition, set in 2009, she is burned at the stake for being a witch.  The three sisters cast a spell to travel to the future to learn why this will happen, but end up in the bodies of their future selves.
-In this future, [[Prue Halliwell|Prue]] is the successful, but lonely owner of Buckland's Auction House, [[Piper Halliwell|Piper]] is divorced from [[Leo Wyatt|Leo]] and mother of a young child named [[Melinda Halliwell|Melinda]], and Phoebe is in prison for murdering a man named Cal Green with her advanced powers.  The man they punished with their powers in the past is then shown to become a witch-hunting [[District attorney|DA]], responsible for convicting Phoebe.
-As Prue and Piper set out to free Phoebe, she tells them that she should pay for her crimes and burn.
-All three sisters then wake up on the same morning, just before they punished the same DA.  Phoebe then realizes what caused the chain of events as this was the first time they used their powers to punish the guilty instead of protecting the innocent (though the contrary would happen in "[[Hyde School Reunion]]". They then agree never to use their powers for this purpose again.

-==Trivia==
-{{Trivia|date=July 2007}}
-* The title of this episode is a play on words of the movie [[Reality Bites]].
-* The future shown in this episode has been erased later in the series as [[Melinda Halliwell]] did not become Piper's first born child and Prue would not survive to see 2009.  Other aspects of this episode's future that differ from the one that will come to be are the facts that Wyatt and Chris do not exist, Piper and Leo are divorced, Leo is still a Whitelighter, Phoebe does not appear to have any children, and the girls did not yet know about [[Paige Matthews|Paige]].  These differences have been explained in the series when it is said that every action made in the present alters the outcome of the future.
-* This is the very firts time that we see Phoebe levitate.
-* In the episode, Phoebe exhibits the power of [[levitation]] and the power of electrokineis.  In Season 3, Phoebe did develop the power to levitate at will, and in season six she developed the power of [[empathy]], but she never develops the power of electrokinesis, it is therefore likely she was channelling the powers of another via her empathy in this premonition.
-* Prue's telekinesis is seen to have grown to strong telekinetic blasts, similar to the power displayed by [[Shax]] in the episode [[All Hell Breaks Loose]]; ironicially it is this power which will end her life.
-*Although most of the things about this future are not the same as the future that we saw in ''[[Forever Charmed]]'', one thing that did not change is that Piper will still live in the manor.
-* When future Prue and Piper are back home after getting the Book from Buckland's (and not finding the return spell), we see Prue saying some of the pages are turned down at the top.  As she is saying that line, she flips a page and we see the return spell they want. The return spell and future spell are also briefly seen in the book in future episodes.
-*Also while looking through the book, Prue mentions a couple spells (although we do not see them) that were used in future episodes but not the same future, since Prue was already dead by the time they were used.  The first was a spell to induce slumber used in the season 5 episode [[Sand Francisco Dreamin']].  This spell could also be referring to a potion used by [[Billie Jenkins]] on the Charmed Ones in the season 8 episode [[The Jung and the Restless]]., or even the spell used later that season to return Piper to her coma in [[Awakened]]  The second spell Prue mentions was a spell to glamour, which was used in the 7th and 8th seasons to help the Halliwells fake their own deaths.
-* Despite being in the future where their powers have already grown, the girls do not discover several of their new powers, such as astral projection, Molecular Combustion or empathy. This could be because they didn't know they had them yet so they didn't think to try and see if they had any new powers, but they might have had them all along. However, Prue and Piper do experience advanced forms of their current powers, and Phoebe sees her two new powers through a premonition: levitation and Electric generation. What's funny about that is, in the episode [[The Eyes Have It]] Phoebe's premonition power becomes more advanced and clearer to see whereas in this episode, Phoebe's power of premonitions remain the same.
-* This is the third time a Halliwell sister gets arrested. The first was in [[Wicca Envy]] and the second was in [[That '70s Episode]].
-* This is the only episode throughout the entire series that only feature the three lead actresses in the opening credits.
-* This is the only episode where the sisters themselves visit the future, except for two brief astral premonitions to the future experienced by Phoebe in [[The Eyes Have It]] and [[Hulkus Pocus]].
-* Even though it was not in the present day Phoebe dies for the third time (technically)
-* Piper also visits the future, albeit unintentionally, in the finale [[Forever Charmed]].
-* Prue mentions that there is a glamour spell in the Book of Shadows, this spell doesn't exist anymore after their return to their normal lives, but it implies that it's possible to glamour into another. This is shown in season 8''[[Still Charmed & Kicking]]''.
-* This marks the third time we see future Phoebe die.
-* This is the first time we see Prue and Phoebe with long hair.
-* When future Piper is Watching TV she discovers one of her new powers, Thought Projection by turning up and down the tv volume at command. This power however was never develop by present Piper, but is one of Wyatt's powers.
