Synopsis

Template:Spoiler After the manor is burglarized, Prue becomes obsessed with learning more about the elusive evil force that is hunting her, while Piper and Phoebe believe its just the work of an over active imagination.

Book of Shadows

Enemies

• Troxa: This Invisible Demon has the ability to attack unsuspecting victims and escape without detection. Although his power prevents the naked eye from seeing him, his being is still corporeal, therefore, he cannot pass through objects or walls. Troxa's one weakness is that his ectoplasmic biochemistry is sensitive to cold. When he encounters cold temperatures, he may become partially visible. This vulnerability can be fatal.

Spells

• To Trap a Demon: You need 6 citrate crystals and enchant the six crystals with positive energy. Place five at equidistant points around an object or place, creating the outline of a pentagram. The area inside the pentagram will act as a "power grid" to electrocute and trap any demons that cross into it. The sixth crystal is to be carried; it will emit a glow when the power grid is activated, alerting the carrier to the capture of a demon.

Trivia

• The episode title is a commonly used phrase "sight unseen" referring to an item purchased without first inspecting it.
• Phoebe first kisses Cole in this episode.
• In this episode, one of the sisters comments on the oddity of a demon turning on the air conditioning. However, having the open windows were the only way Prue saw the demon before it attacked her. In the season 5 episode "Oh, My Goddess", Phoebe asks Piper why they never installed air conditioning in the manor and Piper replies because it rarely gets above 70 degrees in San Francisco. Hence, the air conditioner has somehow disappeared between now and then.
