Size Matters
Piper has hired a new manager, Treat Taylor, at P3. P3 is struggling and Piper discusses her worries with Phoebe. Treat ends up changing the look and even the name of P3. Paige tells them of a house that gives her the creeps, but an attractive man named Finn, whom Paige met at a supermarket, lives there. Phoebe and Piper have their doubts about Paige's "creeps", but think Paige should stay away from Finn.
Finn rides up to the creepy house with a young woman, Claudia, on his motorcycle. He leads her into the house and they find it dark. Finn says he should check the circuit breaker, and leaves Claudia alone. Lightning comes from a shadowy figure, Gammill, and Claudia is now only a few inches tall.
Phoebe interviews for a job, and does very poorly. The questions keep leading up to her status as a witch and she is unwilling to answer them straightly.
Paige talks to Leo about the creepy house. She suspects that her Whitelighter side is being stirred by the house. He agrees that Phoebe should check it out, as Paige needs to return to work. Phoebe checks out the house and Gammill shrinks her. Gammill pursues her as she runs among the clutter, and he almost catches her with a vacuum cleaner when Finn interrupts him. Phoebe sees Claudia on a shelf, covered in clay and feebly calling for help. She levitates up and kicks the clay off, but Gammill catches them both.
Leo can barely sense Phoebe, Piper and Paige go to the house. Finn's motorcycle is in the driveway. Paige knocks on the door and Finn answers. Finn invites her in, but she is reluctant. Finn, however, is developing a guilty conscience and decides to leave with Paige instead. With Finn out of the house, Leo and Piper orb in. They find a collection of figurines of young women in terrified poses. They leave empty-handed. Gammill hears Leo speak of the Power of Three, and is delighted to have a Charmed One in his power. He covers Phoebe and Claudia in clay.
Leo and Piper consult the Book of Shadows, and find the entry on Gammill, known for collecting one-of-a-kind figurines. Finn goes back to Paige's apartment and tells her about Gammill, and himself. Finn is a golem, a creation of Gammill.
P3 is now "The Spot", with scantily-clad waitresses. Piper and Leo look for Paige there, and a bouncer almost kicks Piper out before Treat recognizes her. Treat tells them that Paige left, because The Spot isn't the kind of place she wants to be in, and Piper and Leo go to Paige's apartment.
Leo, thinking the sisters rely too much on him and not enough on each other, orbs away. Finn goes with Piper and Phoebe to the house, but Gammill kills Finn with an energy beam and shrinks the sisters with his shrinking ray. He covers them with clay and stands them up next to Phoebe.
Paige, at Piper's encouragement, orbs out long enough for the clay to collapse. She kicks the clay off of the others and calls for Gammill's wand, shrinking him too. The three then vanquish him with a spell that Phoebe created, and the sisters and Claudia return to full size.
The sisters and Leo meet at The Spot, where Dave Navarro is playing. They decide to get the old club back. Leo heals the P3 sign.
