As Piper, Prue, and Phoebe slept upstairs, Penny was busy in the kitchen. She placed a small pot on top of a burner and turned on the stove. "I swear, on Alan's grave, that Justin will never be able to do anything anymore…" She walked over to the sink and measured a cup of water from the faucet. Pouring it into the warming pot, Penny glanced at the piece of paper where she had written a spell and ingredients for a potion. She still needed two sticks of cayenne pepper, a half cup of thyme, a teaspoon of poplar seeds, and a pinch of dill.

Once the water started boiling, she put one stick of cayenne pepper in the pot and waited until it dissolved. Penny stirred the cayenne and water mix as she poured in the poplar seeds. A mist started to rise from the mixture signaling that the next ingredients could be put in at any time. She lowered the flame a bit and walked over to a cabinet to get a mortar and pestle. She placed the thyme and dill into the mortar. Penny took the pestle and grinded the two herbs together, making exactly 50 circles with the pestle.

Once properly "pestled", Penny took the mortar in her left hand and the ladle to stir the potion in the right hand. She poured the contents of the mortar slowly into the potion as she stirred the liquid counter-clockwise. When the mortar was emptied of its contents, the potion's mist increased to smoke.

Penny picked up the sheet of paper with the spell written on it as well as the last cayenne pepper stick. She looked at the spell and started chanting out loud.

Neither dark nor light
Day nor night,
I banish Justin from my sight.

What you did will never recur,

To a different place I now refer.

After she finished chanting, she dropped the cayenne stick into the pot. A small explosion happened and Penny smiled. From that moment on, she knew that Prue was safe from Justin.

"That's weird…" Penny was talking on the phone a couple of weeks later. A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She was currently in the kitchen. After Prue woke up the day after her attack, Penny took her to the police station to update the report that Officer Trudeau had filed. San Francisco Police Department told them that they would get on it that day. When the phone rang that morning, Penny instinctively knew that it was the police station. They had told her that Justin had disappeared without a trace which had forced that smile. "Are you sure?" She shifted her weight to her other leg. Even though she knew what had truly happened to Justin, she needed to sound innocent. "Okay, thanks."

Penny hung up the phone. She looked up at the ceiling and mouthed a "you're welcome" to Patty. A pitter-patter was heard coming from the stairs. Grams put on a smile and waited for her granddaughters to enter the kitchen.

"It was gross, Piper," Phoebe started to say. "I saw her run to the bathroom, and she didn't even close the door!"

"What?" Piper sounded astonished. "Prue always wants her privacy!"

"Don't you think I know that?" Phoebe responded. "I went to the bathroom to see what was wrong, and Prue was throwing up. It was disgusting!"

"Did she say anything?"

"How could she? She was spewing out her guts!"

"Thanks, Pheebs, for that visual…" Piper finished with a gag. When they saw their grandmother with a smile on, they stopped. Piper and Phoebe looked at each other. They thought they might be in trouble. Because Piper knew that Phoebe couldn't keep any secrets, Piper started speaking first.

"Hey, Grams!" Piper smiled wide. It seemed as if Piper stole her smile from Penny because as soon as Piper smiled, Penny frowned. When she saw the frown on her grandmother, Piper lost her smile as well. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, sweetheart," Penny said. "I am just concerned."

"About what?" Phoebe replied for Piper. "I mean, we have nothing to hide, we did nothing, nothing at all. We have nothing to hide, right Piper?" Penny narrowed her eyes at Phoebe. Phoebe seemed skittish. When Phoebe was skittish, Penny knew something was going on.

"What's wrong with Prudence?" Penny asked them.

"Oh, I think she has the stomach flu or something, Grams," Piper commented. "What's for breakfast?"

It was three weeks later, and Prue still was getting sick. Penny walked into Prue's room with toast and jam. She placed it on her bedside table. "You really need to eat something, Prudence," Grams was lecturing. "You look pale, and you've been throwing up every… morning…" Penny then realized something. "I'm going to the store, Prudence. Do you need anything?" When Prue didn't respond, Penny left the manor.

A couple of minutes later, Piper and Phoebe entered Prue's room.

"Are you okay, Prue?" Phoebe asked. She slowly approached Prue's bed. Tears were streaming down Prue's face. "Prue, what's wrong?" Phoebe paced her hand on Prue's arm. A shock, somewhat like static electricity, was felt between Prue's arm and Phoebe's hand. Phoebe brought back her hand out of surprise, and then placed it back on her arm. Piper quickly approached her sisters. This scared them. Piper and Phoebe almost never saw their sister cry.

"I just don't feel well," Prue said quietly. She reached for the tissue box on her nightstand. Since she couldn't reach it, Piper grabbed a tissue for her. Prue gave her a quick smile of thanks. This gave Piper ample time to look at Prue's face. Prue was in fact pale.

"Phoebe, we should let Prue get some rest," Piper said. Piper gave Prue a kiss on her cheek and turned to leave. Phoebe followed suit and walked out with Piper. After Piper and Phoebe left Prue's room, Prue sighed as she rolled over onto her back. Absentmindedly, Prue placed her right hand on top of her belly.
