Season 2 hands down is Phoebe's best season! Every single great episode this season had Phoebe at center focus and brought out the best in her character. Episodes like Morality Bites, Witch Trial, The Painted World, They're Everywhere, Heartbreak City where among some of the best of the season and all of them revolved around Phoebe.
Phoebe's love for witchcraft was more expanded, while the other two had involved love lives Phoebe was more concerned with going wherever would happen during that time. In Witch Trial the episode literally begins with her in excitement with wanting to celebrate their 1 year anniversary of being witches and spends the episode reminding Prue that she liked being a witch too. Not to mention proving her voice of reason by providing moral support to Jenny such a great way to show off Phoebe's development. In The Painted World it shows Phoebe's more carefree side, yeah she goes overboard with the truth spell, but did it for a good reason. It also shows how into spell writing and being a witch Phoebe was at that time. Phoebe turned out to save the day when she proves to stand up to the warlocks Malcolm and Jane with her martial arts skills and made use of what she could with the smart spell.
Then there's Chick Flick, by far everything great about Phoebe in seasons 1 & 2 combined into one episode. It's also part of the reason Chick Flick itself was a great episode! Among other things.
They're Everywhere and Heartbreak City does such a nice job at showcasing how different Phoebe is at handling love compared to Seasons 3-8. Her bond with Eric was more interesting than any of her later love interests (minus Cole and Drake) and it wasn't part of a "Phoebe love cycle' or her "obsessing over men".. *sigh* Why did Phoebe have to change after this season?
Also “Give me a Sign” was great. As well as “Ex libris”
