Cole really needs to give up. Pheobe doesn't want him back even if she does still love him. He lied to her and her sisters one to many times. Making Pheobe turn against her sisters last season, and making Paige a vampire was part his fault. I like Cole, but i feel that he needs to cool his persistence onto Pheobe, because no matter how much Good he does, he will always have the demon inside him. You can take the boy out of the demon, but not the demon out of the boy.

Piper being pregnant is a joy to the show, I think her being pregnant will help her realize what it's like to be a Mom, and feel what her mother and Grams felt. I like how Leo makes the comment,"are your boobs always this sore?" My Dad and I just laughed at that part!! A man pregnant, even if it is only for a little bit of TV. It gives the males a little bit of what women before them had to go through.
