Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Tanjela is killed in the prologue, her hair turns pale white. But it's obvious that she's wearing a wig because of her side burn where she still reveals her natural red hair when we see a closeup of her face.

Quotes:

Prue Halliwell: [while Prue is holding the Book Of Shadows words magically appear on a page saying: 'Thanks for letting them into your heart.'] I miss you, mom.

The answer

The Power of Love

On Friday, 13th, the Demon of Fear attacks thirteen witches every 1300 years and feeds with their greatest fear. While looking with Prue for a good luck charm for a job interview on the next morning, Phoebe logs her name in a promotional list in the Wicca shop to have a discount. The owner is killed of heart attack motivated by the demon, and he gets the names and addresses of San Francisco's witches in the list, killing immediately three of them of fear. When he traps Prue and Phoebe in a house, they are saved by the power of love of their mother.

"Eternal Fear" is another good episode of this series. Billy Drago performs an evil spirit that seems to be tailored for his mean face. Piper has a lesson about superstition when she loses the best catch of San Francisco and Phoebe gives a lesson of good character. My vote is eight.
