Swapping Powers

While protecting the human and future white lighter Daisy, Leo is wounded by a poisoned arrow shot by the dark lighter Alec, who wants to seduce Daisy to procreate evil. Leo asks the Halliwell sisters to protect Daisy, and Piper casts a spell to swap the healing powers of Leo with hers, but accidentally Prue and Phoebe also switches their powers. The sisters have difficulties to handle their new acquired abilities, and Piper is unable to trigger the healing power. Meanwhile, Andy is having troubles with the Internal Affairs protecting Prue, and he is temporarily suspended from his duties.

"Love Hurts" is an excellent episode of "Charmed", presenting action, romance and comedy in adequate doses. Phoebe, as usual, has some of the best lines, such as when she says that problems are for Mondays mornings; or when she questions Prue and tells that she is not the yellow pages of innocents. When Prue says to Andy "Welcome to my world" is also great. In the end, the lesson that the pleasant power of love heals, while the painful power of hate kills. My vote is nine.
