Dan and Prue comfort Piper in Awakened

General information

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler Piper orders some illegal fruit from outside the country that gives her Oroya 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. Williamson. But the two sisters actually cast the spell for personal gain, and the ninja doll comes 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 Oroya 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. ("Astral Monkey")

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.

Guest stars

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 mostly heal the half-demon/half-human Belthazor later in the third season.
  • This is the second time that Piper dies, first time was in Deja Vu All Over Again.
  • Piper's spell backfire causes her to move at a very fast superhuman pace. This power is one that Piper actually could develop later in life as her powers effect movement and speed. She displays this power again in the episode Gone with the Witches.
  • Prue and Phoebe only recite the first part of the awakening reversal spell ("What was awakened from its sleep, must once again slumber deep") instead of the full 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")
  • Prue learns to control her astral projection power at will to project to the house to look for the spell to reverse the Awaking spell.
