I really love this episode. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes from this season, and in my Top 20 from the series. The first time I saw it, when I was about seven years old, the Woogy really creeped me out, and I could really relate to how Phoebe must have felt when she was a child.

In this episode, an earthquake makes a mysterious shadow demon come out of the cracks of the Halliwell Manor's basement. Everything seems alright until a handyman comes to fix a gas leak in the basement, calls for Phoebe's help, and she gets kind of possessed and controlled by the shadowy figure. She has faced this demon once before, and called it the Woogyman, like Boogyman. She almost kills Piper and Prue at one point and then banishes them from the house. Whilst the shadow continues to influence people, Prue and Piper have to find a way to bring their sister back and get her to vanquish the Woogyman, once and for all.

Fun Fact: This is the first time any of the sisters add something to The Book Of Shadows.

Fun Fact: We discover that Phoebe was born in the Manor.

Fun Fact: This is the first time Phoebe turns evil.

First appearance of: Penny "Grams" Halliwell

Demon appearances: The Woogyman (Nexus)

Spells: I am light, I am one too strong to fight, return to dark where shadows dwell, you can not have this Halliwell! Now go away and leave my sight, and take with you this endless night.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.
