    The Price of the Lost Youth

    Three old ladies summon the demon of vanity Kryto and promise to resurrect him, exchanging for health, beauty and youth for the senior trio. Kryto makes a further demand of magical powers, and one of the ladies, Aunt Gail, offers the abilities of the charmed ones. Aunt Gail visits the Halliwell sisters, steals one spell from the Book of Shadows to transfer the powers of witches and betrayals the naive sisters. Piper finally tells Dan her choice for Leo.

    "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans" is a reasonable episode of "Charmed", where Prue, Piper and Phoebe are easily deceived by an old friend of their grandmother. The argument of the old sick woman trying to be young again and finding the price of the lost youth is weak and even silly. This is the second consecutive episode with shootings outside the studio. My vote is six.

    Title (Brazil): "Colcha de Retalhos Humanos" ("Human Crazy Quilt")
