Favorite S1 "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" Episode(s)

[Aaeiyn]

Going off of my Challenge Thread guidelines will be used for what episodes will be used in the poll. It's S1, anyway, so nothing much will be "left out". 14 episodes were used, for the poll, so we get 7 votes to utilize. Please keep in mind (though, you don't have to) the guidelines in the "Challenge" thread via power balances, all the sisters partaking in protecting/saving the innocent(s), etc.

Power Balance
Note: These episodes take into consideration how well each sister's powers balance off of each other, along with how often they're utilized.  Also, Piper's freezing power was involved in every fight.

S1E4 "Dead Man Dating"
Piper Freeze Count: 3
Phoebe Premonition Count: 6 (2/6 Non-Visual)
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
Bonus: Piper freezes Kali and then Prue TKs a frozen Kali, into the mirror.

S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts"
Piper Freeze Count: 2
Phoebe Premonition Count: 3
Prue TK Count: 2

---

Phoebe & Prue
Note: These episodes contain my favorite Prue Era sister combo via Phoebe & Prue dealing with the situations.

S1E12 "The Wendigo"
Phoebe Premonition Count: 2
Prue TK Count: 9
Bonus: Wendigo Piper freezes the flare bullet.

S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity"
Phoebe Premonition Count: 1
Prue TK Count: 2
Bonus: Piper freezes once but isn't really involved in the (Barbas) Demon of Fear fight, like both Phoebe & Prue are.

S1E20 "The Power of Two"
Phoebe Premonition Count: 2
Prue TK Count: 2
Bonus: Piper doesn't freeze anything, in this episode nor is involved in this situation. Also, this episode takes into account Phoebe's (Strength) Martial Arts abilities (which, she learned back in S1E16 "Which Prue is it, Anyway?").

Honorable Mentions
S1E11 "Feats of Clay"
Piper Freeze Count: 3
Phoebe Premonition Count: 2
Prue TK Count: 5
Note: While, this is a lot of powers being used, I don't like how Piper's freezing was NEVER used for the Guardian of the Urn storyline. It was ONLY used for the Doug & Shelly storyline. Also, this is the CLOSEST "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" episode with JUST the main leading ladies. Andy is only in this episode for MAYBE 10 mins (that's being generous), and he doesn't appear until THIRTY minutes LATE, into the episode.

S1E21 "Love Hurts"
Piper Freeze Count: 0
Phoebe Premonition Count: 2 (but, Prue gets ALL 2 of the premonitions 'cause of the "Power Switching" spell)
Prue TK Count: 7 (but, Phoebe does 5/7 of the TK 'cause of the "Power Switching" spell)
Note: Besides S1E14 "Secrets & Guys", this is one episode with a pretty large ensemble via Andy, Darryl AND Leo (Brian Krause as Leo but not credited in the main intro, yet). Reason I chose S1E21 "Love Hurts" over S1E14 "Secrets & Guys" is because instead of just ONE of the sisters (like Prue, in S1E14 "Secrets & Guys") dealing with the situation, it's BOTH Phoebe & Prue dealing with the situation, and I like Phoebe & Prue sister duo, in the Prue Era. Also, this episode didn't have Phoebe using her (Strength) Martial Arts abilities (which, she learned back in S1E16 "Which Prue is it, Anyway?"). Could've come in handy because she couldn't really control Prue's powers, but I digress.

I decided to remove my vote away from S1E13 "From Fear to Eternity" and put it in S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin". I prefer 2-3 sisters vanquishing things instead of just the one, and I feel like only Prue vanquished (Barbas) the Demon of Fear, even if Phoebe was present, around the fight. In S1E2 "I've Got You Under My Skin" ALL three sisters HAD to say the spell, so I like that more.

I (also) removed my vote away from S1E12 "The Wendigo" and put it in S1E19 "Out of Sight" because Phoebe threw the first potion, at the first Grimlock then Prue TK'd the second one, to the second Grimlock.
