I don't see a lot of comments on this episode from Season 3. It's one of my favorite Prue episodes. I was really shocked that Abby, the bartender from P3 was Prue's stalker and not Sean or Belthazor.

It was a good episode. I'm surprised that no Warlock or Demon took advantage of Abbie's Prue obsession. Imagine one of them coming to her and saying: "Abbie, you want to be Prue. I can make it happen, providing a few conditions are met..."

I loved this episode, too. Instead of making Prue's stalker be a predictable demon/warlock/ex-boyfriend, they threw a surprise at us with Abby the bartender. I always liked it when the sisters dealt with human enemies.

Absolutely adore this episode, it showed the sisters and Prue especially that they aren't immune to human evil. The scenes where she is blinded and escaping through the house are really tense and engaging.

The scenes where she is blinded and escaping through the house are really tense and engaging. I agree totally. I wish we had seen more human villains - especially human villains who weren't then later murdered themselves. I shudder to think how this scene would've been played had it been during the Piper era rather than the Prue era. (I call it the Piper era rather than Paige's, because had Paige become the leader as she should've as both an Only Child and a social worker rather than forcing her to be the Baby, the way they forced Phoebe to be the Middle Child rather than the Baby she always should've been and forced Piper to be the Oldest Child rather than the Middle Child she always should've been, I think the last 5 seasons would've been a lot better. For me, of all of Kern's mistakes, that was the worst.)

Excellent story, Tim. Thanks for sharing it.

I liked it to although the one thing I didn't get was Abbey's obsession with Prue. There was nothing shown about that prior to the episode which I'd like to have seen or a real explanation why Abbey was obsessed in the first place other than "I wanna be you." Or "She's a winner and your a loser." Although I was still surprised about the stalkers identity though.

I'm still figuring out when Prue returns home and we see Abbey running out of the house really quickly but we see her a little bit earlier working at P3 when Prue was on her way home from work when Piper called her. I'm not sure how long it takes Prue to get home but it seems impossible that Abbey just so happens to be there when Prue returns especially when we saw her not long ago at P3.

I'm always getting the titles for this and Blind Sided mixed up.
...but yeah, I liked this episode quite a lot. Interesting having a human bad guy again. Also interesting seeing Prue go through what so many in real life unfortunately go through- being the victim of harassment/stalking and being made to feel paranoid and irrational by people around you.

Thanks, Betty. Abbey can either blink or she's as fast as The Flash

Or like Prue could copy herself which we never knew about really.
Ha, ha, ha. No that was just common error by the writers then I think.

I so happen to watch this last night, as I am rewatching seasons atm. I'm going to stop after season 3, as I already rewatched season 5, 6 and 7 earlier this year.
This episode was alright, only issue I have is goofs like Abby arriving at the manor earlier, but we'll assume Prue was further away from the manor, and Abby got there still before her.
I liked the references to past enemies vanquished like Kali. Thats good thinking, that the charmed ones are thinking even though it was a human enemy Abby.
Could of been interesting if the Abby story extended, and she targeted Prue on and off than all in one episode. Even though she probaly had been doing it for weeks spying and watching.

I also would've liked to have seen Abbey in the background before this episode - I just wonder how they'd do it without letting us know that she's the one doing it. It's like I don't think we should've found out that Cole was more than just the lawyer he pretended to be until later into the season.

But the writers did a good job teaching them a lesson that not all evil comes from demons and warlocks.

Just got done rewatching this episode.
While I do love the episode, ike it was said before...Abbey being able to attack Prue in the beginning was bad writing. One of the reasons why Prue cant get to P3 is because she's "halfway across the city" and yet Abbey manages to leave P3 on a busy night to go attack Prue? And manages to beat her there?
They did a great job of setting up Prues suspicion of Cole and his manipulation of Phoebe.
Setting up Abbey an episode or 2 before would've been nice but that is television afterall lol. Just even a little scene of Abbey complimenting Prue an episode before would've been good.
The crystal cage is one of my favorite things they came up with and the effects were great.

I do like this episode, not as much as I used to (I used to love it), but it's still sort of enjoyable. I like the thought of the stalker being human, although I wish this had been more if a focus, that the demon they initially think it is is just a demon of the week, unconnected to the Triad and Cole. And Abby being at the house before Prue does lessen how good the episode is-- it really would've been better if they showed Abby ending her shift, at least. But really, the main thing they should've done is shown Abby in a previous episode, so that they didn't need to introduce her at the start.
Overall, it's a good episode with the stalker bits, but everything else I don't like-- especially Prue and Phoebe's interactions in this episode: it just sets up how Phoebe becomes. I would've liked to see more human villains like this later on, I think it helps ground the sisters and would be a better storyline when it comes to exposure that yet another police officer suspecting them.

We'll be re-watching this on the weekend in our re-watch, so wonder how I feel about it. I wasn't too crazy about this one last time. I didn't like the Prue/Phoebe conflict or the Stalker bits at all. Oh and Maite Halliwell Abbey appeared in 'Once Upon a Time' before 'Sight Unseen'.
