Favorite S4 Episode(s) That Uses ALL Three Sisters Abilities

[Aaeiyn]

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 FOUR votes! You don't have to use them all, if you don't want to, though.

S1 Version
S2 Version
S3 Version

TK-Orb Key Code
TK-Orb: ALL forms of TK-Orb under one category
Basic TK-Orb: Paige TK-Orbing people/objects to herself, only
Actual TK-Orb: Paige ACUALLY TKing, when she TK-Orbs
Miscellaneous TK-Orb: A mix between Basic & ACTUAL TK-Orb or a TK-Orb that functions entirely differently between Basic & Actual TK-ORb

Orbing Key Code
Orbing: ALL forms of Orbing under one category
Still Orbing: When Paige "orbs" but remains in the same spot, after she "orbs out"
Travel Orbing: When Paige ACTUALLY travels to the destination she wants to go to and does NOT remain in the same spot, after she "orbs out"
Miscellaneous Orbing: A mix between Still & Travel Orbing or an Orbing that functions entirely differently between Still & Travel Orbing

Exception Notes
From S4E2 "Charmed Again, Pt 2" - S4E6 "A Knight to Remember", it is narrated to us that Piper "doesn't always have control over her power(s)", so I will only count her successes on people/stuff she meant to either freeze/explode, as long as she's not influenced by the Furies in S4E3 "Hell Hath No Fury" or super tiny in S4E5 "Size Matters".

Despite the Lazarus Demon (S4E15 "Marry-Go-Round") being able to resurrect itself, I will STILL count the Charmed Ones using their abilities on it, since it needs to be in "remains form", in order to be buried, something needs to happen/occur, in order for the Lazarus Demon, to be in "remains form" to be buried.

S4E16 "The Fifth Halliwheel" tells us that the Charmed Ones abilities/powers don't work too well, down in the Underworld, so I will continue to consider that, when they fight in the Underworld, in this episode and any other episode, post this episode.

It's narrated to us (though, I disagree) that Phoebe was influenced by her unborn baby, so I will exclude S4E19 "We're off to See the Wizard" & S4E20 "Long Live the Queen", from these listings.

S4E2 "Charmed Again, Pt 2"
Piper Freeze Count: 2
Piper Exploding Count: 0 (not counting Piper's failed attempt to blow up the Source, posing as Shane)
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N (not counting Phoebe's failed attempt to "levitate & kick" the Source, posing as Shane)
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Orbing Count: 0
Paige Basic TK-Orb Count: 1 (only counting uninfluenced Paige, by the Source, posing as Shane)

S4E3 "Hell Hath No Fury"
Piper Freeze Count: 0 (not counting Piper accidentally freezing Cole twice nor freezing Paige's co-workers, since Piper was infected by the Furies)
Piper Exploding Count: 3 (not counting Fury Piper blowing up Leo)
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y
Phoebe Levitation Count: 3
Paige Still Orbing Count: 3
Paige Basic TK-Orb Count: 1
Paige Miscellaneous TK-Orb Count: 1

S4E6 "A Knight to Remember"
Piper Freeze Count: 1
Piper Exploding Count: 0 (not counting Piper failing to blow up the Shocker Demon)
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N (not counting Phoebe failing to attempt to "levitate & kick" the Shocker Demon)
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Basic TK-Orb Count: 1
Paige Orbing Count: 0

S4E7 "Brain Drain"
Piper Freeze Count: 1 (not counting Piper attempting to freeze the Source, posing as the Chameleon Demon nor the car in her head)
Piper Exploding Count: 1
Phoebe Premonition Count: 1
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N (not counting Phoebe utilizing her Strength, inside Piper's head)
Phoebe Levitation Count: 0
Paige Still Orbing Count: 1
Paige TK-Orb Count: 0

S4E9 "Muse to My Ears"
(none of the Charmed Ones were under the influence by the Muse, when they used their abilities/powers)
Piper Freeze Count: 1
Piper Exploding Count: 2
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y
Phoebe Levitation Count: 0
Paige Still Orbing Count: 1
Paige Miscellaneous TK-Orb Count: 1

S4E15 "Marry-Go-Round"

Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y
Phoebe Levitation Count: 0
Paige Orbing Count: 0
Paige Actual TK-Orb Count: 1
Paige Miscellaneous TK-Orb Count: 1

S4E16 "The Fifth Halliwheel"
(neither Phoebe nor Piper were influence by the chocolates, when they used their abilities/powers)
Piper Freeze Count: 2
Piper Exploding Count: 1
Phoebe Premonition Count: 1
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Travel Orbing Count: 1
Paige TK-Orb Count: 0

NOT listing the following, due to one or TWO of the sisters NOT using ANY form of their power/ability:

S4E1 "Charmed Again, Pt 1" - Piper does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Phoebe & Paige do.
S4E8 "Black as Cole" - Paige does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Phoebe & Piper do.
S4E10 "A Paige from the Past" - Only Piper is using her abilities/powers, naturally. Phoebe was under the influence of "being in the past", when she used her Orbing ability/power, and Phoebe NEVER used her abilities/powers, whatsoever, good or evil.
S4E11 "Trial by Magic" - Paige does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Phoebe & Piper do.
S4E12 "Lost & Bound" - Phoebe does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Paige & Piper do.
S4E14 "The Three Faces of Phoebe" - Phoebe does NOT use ANY of her abilities, whatsoever. Only Paige & Piper do.
S4E17 "Saving Private Leo" - Phoebe does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Paige & Piper do.
S4E18 "Bite ME" - Piper does NOT use ANY of her abilities/powers, whatsoever. Only Phoebe & Paige do.

NOT listing these episodes, even if it SEEMS to display their powers/abilities:

S4E4 "Enter the Demon" - Paige ONLY used her abilities/powers in the Limbo which isn't being AUTHENTIC.
S4E5 "Size Matters" - Piper ONLY used her abilities/powers, when she was super tiny which isn't being AUTHENTIC.
S4E13 "Charmed & Dangerous" - Both Paige & Piper's abilities/powers were immuned to being used.
S4E19 "We're off to See the Wizard" - Phoebe was influenced by her unborn baby and wasn't her AUTHENTIC self.
S4E20 "Long Live the Queen" - Phoebe was influenced by her unborn baby and wasn't her AUTHENTIC self.
S4E21 "Womb Raider" - Phoebe's premonition was forced/fake, by the Seer which isn't being AUTHENTIC.
S4E22 "Witch Way, Now?" - Phoebe ONLY used her Strength ability, in this episode ONLY when Agent Jackman dismantled their ability to use their abilities/powers. So, her Strength wasn't used AUTHENTICALLY.

Enjoy!

My choices will be similar to how I did my S1 picks, S2 picks & S3 picks. I'm using the following criteria:

-"Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episodes, first and foremost. There's only 2 of them in S4 (from this poll), so I will have 2 extra votes to spare, for other types of episodes.
-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.
-Original Warren powers, preferred, as in first original powers over secondary/new powers.
-Family History episodes are a good substitute if NOTHING else is available.

Here's what I came up with:

S4E2 "Charmed Again, Pt 2"
Piper Freeze Count: 2
Piper Exploding Count: 0 (not counting Piper's failed attempt to blow up the Source, posing as Shane)
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N (not counting Phoebe's failed attempt to "levitate & kick" the Source, posing as Shane)
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Orbing Count: 0
Paige Basic TK-Orb Count: 1 (only counting uninfluenced Paige, by the Source, posing as Shane)
Note: My first spare vote to S4E2 "Charmed Again, Pt 2" merely because we get to dig deeper into Paige's history and more about Patty & Sam.

S4E6 "A Knight to Remember"
Piper Freeze Count: 1
Piper Exploding Count: 0 (not counting Piper failing to blow up the Shocker Demon)
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N (not counting Phoebe failing to attempt to "levitate & kick" the Shocker Demon)
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Basic TK-Orb Count: 1
Paige Orbing Count: 0
Note: My second and final spare vote is for more "Family History" type of episode, and it's about Paige.

S4E9 "Muse to My Ears"
(none of the Charmed Ones were under the influence by the Muse, when they used their abilities/powers)
Piper Freeze Count: 1
Piper Exploding Count: 2
Phoebe Premonition Count: 0
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): Y
Phoebe Levitation Count: 0
Paige Still Orbing Count: 1
Paige Miscellaneous TK-Orb Count: 1
Note: The first "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episode vote.

S4E16 "The Fifth Halliwheel"
(neither Phoebe nor Piper were influence by the chocolates, when they used their abilities/powers)
Piper Freeze Count: 2
Piper Exploding Count: 1
Phoebe Premonition Count: 1
Phoebe Strength (Y/N): N
Phoebe Levitation Count: 1
Paige Travel Orbing Count: 1
Paige TK-Orb Count: 0
Note: The second and final "Protect/Save the Innocent(s)" type of episode vote.

Don't they all use both their primary and secondary powers in We're off to see the Wizard?

You are correct, but my OP explains why it's not listed:

Enjoy!

Same rule applies to S1-S3, as well, if you want to check out those polls, too (though, I may re-work S1 & S3, at some point to remove S1E22 "Deja Vu, all Over, Again" & S3E22 "All Hell Breaks Loose"):
