Continuity: When Piper speaks to Doug at the bar, he has a silver shaker in his hand, mixing a drink. He sets he shaker down on a tray. He speaks to Piper and when the waitress picks up the tray, he reaches over and picks up, not the silver shaker, but a finished drink and slides it down the bar.

Quotes:

Claire Pryce: Oh, hi. You must be Prue.
Claire Pryce: Claire. Claire Pryce. The bank assigned me to see if the business is worth salvaging. I'm looking for inventory records. The files in my predecessor's office were empty.
Prue Halliwell: Yes, well, Rex and Hannah weren't exactly qualified.
Claire Pryce: Mm-hmm. Obviously why Buckland's is in such dire straits. To be honest with you, Prue, I don't know anything about auction houses, and I know even less about art. But what I do know is the bottom line. And if we don't move $1.2 million worth of inventory at the auction tomorrow, I'm shutting the place down.

Inside Out

People do not Change

In Cairo, Egypt, three Americans steal a valuable urn, but the object is cursed and its guardian kills one of the thieves and feeds of his greed. One of the guys is Andy, the former passion of Phoebe, and he travels to San Francisco to use his former girlfriend to convince Prue to auction the urn. Meanwhile, Piper helps the clumsy waiter of the Quake Doug to get back and propose his former girlfriend Shelly. When the second thief is killed, Clay decides to leave San Francisco in a hurry. The Halliwell sisters do not have enough power to protect him, but something unpredictably happens.

"Feats of Clay" is one of the weakest episodes of "Charmed", but entertains. The romance of the waiter Doug and the waitress Shelly is silly, and the story of the curse protected by a guardian is predictable. My vote is seven.
