Zankou (Oded Fehr) goes to incredibly complex lengths to lure the Charmed Ones into his demonic lair. Meanwhile, one of Zankou's minions turns the girls' mansion inside out in hopes of locating the spiritual nexus that will release the Shadow, thereby imbuing Zankou with the "Ultimate Power." In order to protect his parents, Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Leo (Brian Krause), from the impending demon assault, baby Wyatt shrinks them both and locks them in a tiny dollhouse -- with neither parent aware of the other's plight! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Charmed One's grandma Penny (Jennifer Rhodes) is invited to the Wiccaning ceremony for baby Chris. Fed up with the girls' noisy sibling rivalry, "Grams" casts a spell, transforming the trio into teenagers. This situation proves somewhat embarrassing when the younger version of Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) attends an award ceremony. Meanwhile, Leo (Brian Krause) tries to figure out the motivation behind an attack on little Wyatt by consulting a demonic seer (played in the first of several guest appearances by former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel co-star Charisma Carpenter). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Charmed Ones are challenged by the Enochs, a street gang consisting of demons who render themselves invisible before killing innocents. The Enochs use their ability to cover their tracks in a plan to convince the girls that the rival Sokol street gang is the one they should be trying to vanquish. Elsewhere, Piper (Holly Marie Combs) discovers that Leo (Brian Krause) is an Avatar -- while Leo himself receives a startling message from a female Whitelighter Elder. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Bad luck has come in spades for the Charmed Ones this week. Piper (Holly Marie Combs) may not be able to reopen P3 due to safety hazards; Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is slapped with a lawsuit for giving bad advice in her newspaper column; and Paige (Rose McGowan) faces a long jail term after a car accident. Coincidence? No, this streak of misfortune is all the handiwork of the semi-demonic Cole (Julian McMahon), who hopes to get Piper and Paige out of the way, take over the girls' manor, and locate the Nexus of Magic -- all the better to regain Phoebe's love! Further muddying the waters is the fact that the Phoebe who is facing a lawsuit is not the "real" Phoebe, but a malevolent shapeshifter. ~ All Movie Guide

Emerging from the mansion's plumbing system, the legendary Lady of the Lake (Danielle Bisutti) solicits the aid of the Charmed Ones to protect the enchanted sword Excalibur. As a result, innumerable strange characters -- possessing powers ranging from evil to really evil -- show up at mansion, hoping to pull the fabled sword from the fabled stone. As it turns out, the only one capable of pulling it off (or should that be "pulling it out"?) is Piper (Holly Marie Combs), who now must locate Excalibur's rightful owner before the sword's power overwhelms and destroys her. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
