Gavin: The future. What are you doing...
Prue Halliwell: Why kill Tanya?
Gavin: I don't want Tanya. I want... what's inside her. No!
Prue Halliwell: And the others, why kill them?
Gavin: They were all... pieces of the puzzle... pieces of the vaccine. Stop this!

Love and terror

The Warlock Terminator

Gavin, a warlock from the future, comes to the present to eliminate people that will develop a vaccine against the evil warlocks. Meanwhile, Prue casts a spell making people around the Halliwell sisters and themselves telling only the truth for twenty four-hours and then forget everything. She wishes to disclose her secret about being a good witch and her ability to Andy and see his reaction. But sometimes truth hurts.

"The Truth Is Out There... and It Hurts" is a very good episode of "Charmed", a sort of "The Terminator" and "Liar Liar" blended together. Both stories are interesting and funny, and the conclusion with Prue finding how Andy would react to her secret is consistent. My vote is eight.
