Synopsis

Template:Spoiler Piper orders some illegal fruit from outside the country that gives her Aroya Fever, a very rare disease that comes from Mexico. Piper is immediately sent to the hospital, and without any progress Prue and Phoebe cast a spell to transfer the disease to a ninja doll. This results in Piper's amazing recovery that just stumps Dr. Williams. But the two sisters actually cast the spell for personal gain, and the ninja doll cames to life, infecting a numerous amount of people with the disease. Prue and Phoebe than have no choice but to reverse the spell, curing all the others and putting the disease back into Piper. With Dan, Prue, and Phoebe at her side Piper dies. But when she gets up to heaven Leo heals her. When she awakens she mutters "Leo", which upsets her boyfriend Dan.

Book of Shadows

Enemies

• Dr. Curtis Williamson: Ever since Piper miraculously recovered from Auroya Fever, Dr. Curtis Williamson had been researching an antidote for the same. Whilst injecting chimps with blood samples taken from the sisters, he accidentally injected himself with a complete combination of their bloods, in the process gaining their powers. Realising his abilities, Dr. Williamson began stealing organs (from criminals) to give to waiting organ transplant patients. Being only a mortal, in the end he couldn't handle the witch's powers, and they drove him insane.

Spells

• Awakening Spell: Troubled blood with sleep’s unease, remove the cause of this disease. Sleep eternal never more, and shift this source of illness borne. To this poppet, whom none shall mourn.
• To Reverse Awakening Spell: What was awakened from its sleep, must once again slumber deep. Return the disease to whence it came, so life can ease back to the same.

Trivia

• Is the seventh and final appearance of Lochlyn Munro as Jack.
• Leo clips his wings to save Piper.
• Leo says he can't physically heal Piper because she wasn't hurt fighting evil. This proves to be just mandated by The Elders because later in the series he does heal the Charmed Ones several times even if they were not hurt fighting evil. He was even able to heal the half-demon/half-human Belthazor later in the third season.
