    Prue Meets The Angel of Death

    While on the beach with Phoebe, Prue sees an unknown woman taking pictures of her with a shadow next to the woman. Meanwhile, Cole is chased by two Seekers, vampire-demons that suck the knowledge of humans. The evil demons suck the former landlady of Cole, and then Andrea, the woman that took the picture and rookie assistant of Inspector Reece Davidson. Prue casts a spell to summon the Death, and the Angel of Death shows her the bigger picture, proving that death is not evil and only comes when the time has come. Prue accepts and finally grieves the death of her mother. Meanwhile the Halliwell sisters face and cast a spell to vanquish the Seekers.

    In this excellent episode, Prue learns about the neutrality of the Reeper: the Angel of Death is not an evil being since it only arrives when the time of the victim has come. The evil Seekers are great, but not enough to face the Power of Three. My vote is ten.

    Title (Brazil): "O Anjo da Morte" ("The Angel of Death")

    • Quotes

      The Angel of Death: It's the bigger picture, Prue. Focusing all your anger against me leaves you vulnerable to the real evils of this world. You'd do well to remember that in the future. What?

      Prue: I don't know. You know, I've been, I've been mad at you for so long, ever since mom died, I don't know how else to be.

      The Angel of Death: You grieve... and then you move on.
