I've been a little obsessed with episodes that uses ALL three sisters' powers and/or abilities, this includes Phoebe's (Strength) Martial Arts. I figured I'd make a poll about them. I'm even being harsh on HOW the episode uses their powers/abilities and ENSURE it comes from an AUTHENTIC place via from the originator of the power/ability and NOT influenced by something else, and you'll see what kind of episodes will be excluded. So, let's have some fun! We get up to EIGHT votes! You don't have to use them all, if you don't want to, though.
S1E1 "Something Wicca This Way Comes" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Prue TK Count: 11
S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 3 Prue TK Count: 5
S1E3 "Thank You for Not Morphing" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 3 Prue TK Count: 3
S1E4 "Dead Man Dating" *Not counting Phoebe's two non-visual premonitions. Piper Freeze Count: 4 Phoebe Premonition Count: 4 Prue TK Count: 4
S1E6 "The Wedding from Hell" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 3
S1E7 "The Fourth Sister" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2
S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 3 Prue TK Count: 2
S1E9 "The Witch is Back" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Prue TK Count: 4
S1E11 "Feats of Clay" Piper Freeze Count: 3 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Prue TK Count: 5
S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2
S1E15 "Is There a Woogy, in the House?" *Not counting Woogy Phoebe's premonition, but I will count non-Woogy Phoebe's. Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2
S1E16 "Which Prue is it, Anyway?" *ONLY counting the REAL (black sweater) Prue TK count Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y Prue TK Count: 6
S1E17 "That 70s Episode" *Only episode in this list to NOT have Phoebe having premonitions but DOES perform her Strength, which I WILL be counting, as we further along into later seasons, but I digress. Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 0 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y Prue TK Count: 1
S1E18 "When Bad Warlocks Go Good" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N Prue TK Count: 4
S1E19 "Out of Sight" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N Prue TK Count: 6
S1E22 "Deja Vu all Over, Again" Piper Freeze Count: 4 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N Prue TK Count: 5
NOT listing the following, due to one or TWO of the sisters NOT using ANY form of their power/ability:
S1E5 "Dream Sorcerer" - Phoebe NEVER gets a premonition. S1E14 "Secrets & Guys" - Phoebe NEVER gets a premonition. S1E20 "The Power of Two" - Piper NEVER freezes. S1E21 "Love Hurts" - ONLY Prue uses her NATURAL power, in this episode. Neither Phoebe NOR Piper use their NATURAL powers. Even during the power swap, the power to "freeze" NEVER displayed, in this episode. Phoebe doesn't even use her Strength, disappointedly enough.
NOT listing these episodes, even if it SEEMS to display their powers/abilities:
S1E10 "Wicca Envy" - Rex forced a fake premonition onto Phoebe rather than this being an AUTHENTIC form of premonition. S1E12 "The Wendigo" - Only Wendigo Piper froze something, and I don't count this as Piper being her AUTHENTIC self, so I excluded this episode, from the list.
Enjoy!

This was REALLY hard for me, to do because S1 is just SO good, that it's hard to let go of certain episodes. I based my votes off of several things:
-"Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, first and foremost. There's 10 of them in S1 (from this poll), so I will NOT be choosing 2 of them. -REAL balancing of powers (like how evened out EACH of the sisters' powers/abilities were used) -ALL Three sisters being present and around in helping out the situations, UNLESS there's a perfectly good explanation for their absence.
Here's what I came up with:
1. S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 3 Prue TK Count: 5 Note: Not really the most balancing of the powers, BUT I appreciate them working together and being together, in the end, for the final fight. In fact, I don't think they really knew about Stefan/Javna, until Piper ran into aged up Brittany in the middle-end of the episode, while Phoebe was out to "get her pictures taken". As we can see, as soon as Phoebe got the premonition of her being in danger, she was quick to leave and (most likely) would've told her sisters about the premonition, if Stefan/Javna didn't take her hostage. Plus, it explains pretty well why each sister wasn't really around during certain parts of the situation.
2. S1E4 "Dead Man Dating" Piper Freeze Count: 4 Phoebe Premonition Count: 4 Prue TK Count: 4 Note: The MOST power balanced episode, but I wouldn't necessarily agree ALL three sisters were working together until the very end. HOWEVER, I think this episode does a better job in comparison to S1E18 "When Bad Warlocks Go Good" due to NEITHER Phoebe NOR Piper using their powers/abilities AT ALL, towards the case, in that episode, but I digress. At least, in S1E4 "Dead Man Dating", Phoebe DID have a premonition regarding Wong, and Prue DID use her TK against Wong & his gang. And, OFC, Piper DEFINITELY helped out in this case, in a season where she's incredibly absent, for the most part, but I digress.
3. S1E6 "The Wedding from Hell" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 3 Note: I have MASSIVELY changed my mind about this episode, over the years. I USED to really hate it but now looking at it from a different lens, this episode couldn't be anymore what I want from the show. "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" themed, power balance, and ALL three being there, participating and helping. Even if I'm still dissatisfied with the final vanquish, it doesn't change everything else about it. No one sister felt overshadowed nor excluded, so that's (also) a bonus.
4. S1E7 "The Fourth Sister" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2 Note: A fantastic episode of them working together including combining their powers. What a vanquish in Piper freezing Kali and then Prue TKs a frozen Kali, back into the mirror. Technically, S1E6 "The Wedding from the Hell" was the first to showcase Piper freezing something, first then Prue TKs frozen enemies, unlike S1E6 "The Wedding from Hell", S1E7 "The Fourth Sister" uses this mechanic on the "final boss", so to speak, rather than "the minions", as seen in S1E6 "The Wedding from Hell". This episode could've had ALL three sisters working together a little bit better, but (at least) they were ALL there, for the final vanquish. Even if Phoebe couldn't do much, it's understandable considering she hasn't learned her Strength, yet, but I like seeing ALL three of them together, for the final vanquish and/or any of the fights, really. As that is the point of the show, in my opinion, at least, but I digress.
5. S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 3 Prue TK Count: 2 Note: While, Phoebe was absent, in the final fight, she WAS present, in the first round and rescued Tanya and remained with Tanya until Gavin's vanquish was finalized. I can accept Phoebe's absence due to her staying with Tanya, the WHOLE time. Plus, what was Phoebe gonna do, anyway? Since, she hadn't learned her Strength, yet. It only makes sense for Prue & Piper to be the ones to do the final vanquish. As they both have useful powers/abilities to defend themselves, but I digress. ALL three of them definitely worked, together. Though, I will criticize Prue for not being there much, but she makes it up for being at the final fight. Plus, this episode seems to balance out their powers, in a beautiful way with Phoebe being a little bit of ahead. Even if we removed 1 from being a repeat, they're all even in using their powers/abilities.
6. S1E11 "Feats of Clay" Piper Freeze Count: 3 Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 Prue TK Count: 5 Note: I am a little disappointed that Piper wasn't really involved in the proper situation, though she WAS helping out Doug & Shelly. I can't really say if it's excusable or not. Though, Piper was present in the final fight with the Guardian of the Urn, even if their powers may have been useless against her. This is an OK episode for power balance, but I will say, this is a GREAT episode, if you want JUST the sisters that's "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" themed. As Andy is ONLY in this episode for like 5 minutes, at best and not until MUCH later, in the episode. Otherwise, he's fairly absent, in this episode, but I digress.
7. S1E15 "Is There a Woogy, in the House?" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2 Note: A good episode for power balance, but a little bit questionable on the "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" theme, though they DID have to save EVERYONE the Woogy was effecting and NOT just Phoebe, but I digress. Phoebe was definitely concerned about it, though she was "Woogified" (if you will) and couldn't really help much which left Prue & Piper to crack the case. And, ALL three of them were there, in the "final fight" if you will.
8. S1E19 "Out of Sight" Piper Freeze Count: 2 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N Prue TK Count: 5 Note: The power balance situation is OK, but it explains why Piper wasn't around for most of the fights. I CAN appreciate Piper's efforts PRIOR to getting hurt, in tasking out each sister to doing something, in this case, tasking out Prue to get the sashundra root (or whatever it was), for the potion. Even if Phoebe didn't use her Strength, she still threw a potion, at ONE of the Grimlocks, while Prue tackled the other. So, again, they all worked on the case, together but in different ways.
I would like to explain why I didn't choose the remaining two "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes:
S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Prue TK Count: 2 Note: Despite the awesome power balance, I don't like the absence of Piper, in this episode, in regards to not really being around for the Barbas fight, in ANY capacity. Even Phoebe was there despite being fear locked. I find Piper being absent to be inexcusable compared to her absence in something like S1E19 "Out of Sight". Not to mention, I don't like how Patty ONLY reached out to Prue and NOT her other daughters. Seems a little bit like Patty is playing "favorites", to me, but I digress.
S1E18 "When Bad Warlocks Go Good" Piper Freeze Count: 1 Phoebe Premonition Count: 1 Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N Prue TK Count: 6 Note: Despite the fact that the power balance is out of whack, even with BOTH Phoebe & Piper being present in BOTH the final fight and other fights leading up to it, I find it odd how Piper NEVER froze the Warlock brothers. IK she tried, at the end, but it was a little too late because they wore amulets to refrain them from using their powers. Piper could've froze them back when they saved the woman, but she never did. Also, Phoebe NEVER used her Strength, in this episode, either. She threw a dagger at them, at the end, but (like with Piper) could've done all of this prior to "the final fight", but I digress.
So, those are my reasons for why I didn't choose those two episodes, and why I chose the 8 that I did.

I'm surprised to see S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin" winning and not something like S1E4 "Dead Man Dating". Then, again, there's only 7 votes but still, we're a small group lol
We'll see how the results will look like when more votes come in.
EDIT: Glad to see more votes in LOL
