This episode is full of foolishness, and the only reason it gets a 7 is because Leo's secrets are revealed.
Not unusual for Charmed, there is a subplot for all three sisters.
Piper has trouble at work including a new chef who is beyond obnoxious. The only point of this subplot is to keep Piper out of the rest of the story, and away from Leo, and for some minor comedy.
Phoebe while home catches Leo levitating while changing a lightbulb. She at first thinks he's a demon or warlock until he explains that he is actually a whitelighter, which is essentially a guardian angel for witches. He has been watching over the sisters and was not supposed to fall in love with Piper. Oops. Now he has to leave again and isn't sure how to tell Piper. I love Phoebe's translation of the explanation Leo plans on giving for leaving. In the end, it is much ado about nothing as Piper seems fine with Leo leaving. Oh, and Leo is the one who has been messaging Prue about the young male witch in trouble.
The third subplot is where all the idiocy comes in. It involves two thieves who somehow hatched the idea of robbing a bank with help from a young male witch with psychonesis, or the ability to move things he can not see. How that translates to being able to turn off alarms, I don't know. I get that the younger brother of the more reasonable thief told them about the male witch, but it is pretty hard to imagine that they'd believe that story.
Anyway, Prue joins the male witch in danger when she finds him and ends up a hostage as well. This subplot involves these issues and or questions.
1. The thieves test the kid on some random business with an alarm. The boy successfully turns off the alarm. The bad thief walks out of the building, is approached by a security guard, and shoots the guard dead even though he was in no trouble at all after exiting an unlocked building. Shooting the guard, on the otherhand, likely just made robbing a bank and escaping that much harder. Now the cops will be out looking for you even before you have robbed anything.
2. Prue disables the thieves and then starts a conversation with the boy rather than getting him out of there first and asking questions later.
3. Why doesn't Prue simply use her power to knock the detonator out of the scumbag's hand? Or simply knock the guy out?
4. Why does the scumbag thief who just gunned down a guy for no good reason leave Prue alive? As long as they had the boy, they had no use for Prue. Why bring her along? Crazy.
5. Why doesn't Prue stop the boy's father from getting gunned down? What kind of protecting the innocent is that?
6. Why doesn't the boy use his power to disable the bad guy's gun? Seems that would be easier than turning off alarms.
Anyway, all's well that ends well, I guess.
