WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, PRUE!

[vandergraafk]

Andy is a somewhat jaded police officer, especially in the eyes of his partner, Darryl Morris. Inspector Trudeau searches for clues in occult shops. He correctly grasps the significance of a crime scene where an athame has been used to murder a sole practitioner. And, he has his suspicions, suspicions that ultimately lead him to build his own case file on the Halliwell sisters, and especially one Prue Halliwell, neighborhood playmate, high school sweetheart, and recently renewed love interest.

Andy is willing to believe in the existence of self-proclaimed witches, but he doesn't believe that they have special powers, although he probably believes that they believe that they have special powers. What's difficult for Andy to accept is that there are a lot of strange occurrences in his open cases that probably can only be explained by supernatural powers and these all seem to involve Prue. To conclude that the woman you love has unnatural powers would surely frighten any mortal man.

Phoebe probably has realized that Andy has more or less figured out that there's something special, at least about Prue, by the time she offers her advice. Prue needs to come clean. Besides, Andy has already covered for the sisters. If anyone can understand Andy (and later, Darryl) will. Prue owes it to Andy, especially after breaking off the relationship because of this.

Phoebe, on the other hand, really has no option with Jason, Leslie or Dex. How can she possibly share her secret with these men? None of them could truly accept her for who she was. That was what made Henry so unique for Paige. Henry was always very accepting of Paige. But, even more so, he demanded to know what Paige was hiding. Jason, Leslie and Dex never ever got curious in that regard.

It always seemed as if with Andy's death, Prue's chance of a long-lasting relationship went along with him. Sure, Andy claimed he could handle facing real demons as long as he didn't have to face them "at home", but I do believe that with time he would have took the risk in order to be with the woman he never really stopped being in love with.

And, I was glad that Prue never ever found a new beau, at least not one she was really, really happy with over an extended period of time, something that Phoebe seemed to every season. No, Andy was her one true love. And, it remained one of the irreconciliable puzzles of Charmed that Andy, though he knew a lot about Prue before finally learning the truth, still could not see himself married to a Charmed One, even though, as he would be the first to admit, there was something special between Prue and him.
