Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) aka the Charmed Ones are the target of a warlock who tries to kill them.

Each time he fails, the demon Tempus turns back the clock so he can try again. He will remember what happened so he can learn from his mistake taking him one step closer to killing the witches. 

As for Piper, Phoebe, and Prue, they don’t remember much about the demon attack. However, Phoebe has déjà vu. Sensing she’s already lived this particular day, Phoebe remembers a premonition she had of Andy (Ted King) dying. 

She convinces Prue and Piper someone is messing with time and making them relive the same day over and over. They set out to take down the demon and go back in time to save Andy. 

Prue meets with Andy to tell him she’s meeting with Inspector Rodriguez (Carlos Gómez), the demon posing a member of the local police force. Every time Prue warns him to stay away from the Manor because of Phoebe’s premonition.
