Warning: Spoilers
The three faces of Phoebe concern her fears of marriage and castes a spell to seek a sign. What she got was a future self who never married and an idealistic younger self who dreams of her Prince coming to sweep her off her feet like Cinderella. I love the concept of getting your answers from two different time lines, but it conflicts with the mythology as Phoebe dies when her nephew turns fourteen so what alternate reality is she from and I could never see such a free spirit turn into a jaded hag. While younger Phoebe is a doll full of spunk and awakes her inner child fantasies of love which helps push her towards the altar.

Also this time around Cole can't seem to hold back the source stopping him from telling the girls about the possession of the source and his influence growing despite old Phoebe's warning it left them in disarray. It makes you wonder how the events first turned out since we know about The seer's plan and she goes through with the wedding. Despite the plot holes I found this to be a truly exceptional episode with deep questions to pander what lays ahead for our couple and can they avoid the same fate.
