Thank You for Not Morphing

The sisters' estranged father Victor returns, and is immediately at odds with Prue who cannot forgive him for being an absentee father. He confesses he's trying to save the girls from the risks of having their powers by removing the Book of Shadows from the manor. However, it appears he has teamed up with the new neighbors, who are shapeshifting demons trying to steal the Book of Shadows. The girls get a handyman to perform ongoing maintenance around the old house, marking the debut of Leo (Brian Krause, later a series co-star), as their protective whitelighter and as a love interest for Phoebe and Piper to quarrel over during the first season.
