An extremely witty episode that delivers above and beyond its purpose. Weird events unfurl as the aurea borsalis becomes visible in San Francisco on the eve of the Wiccan Sabbat. In anticipation of the birth of a magical child, gifts such as golden egg laying geese arrive unexpectedly. Amid all of the hubble and bubble, Piper collapses and is taken to the hospital where she learns that she has toxemia, a condition of high blood pressure that may result in the birth of a preemie.
Cronyn, a sorcerer, has anticipated this day, prophesied 300 years earlier, and sets about to steal the magical child with the help of Victor Bennett's new wife, a nurse practitioner, who volunteers to mid-wife the birth of a new Warren witch when Piper's water bursts unexpectedly. Though trained by Eve to be midwives, neither Paige nor Phoebe can guide Piper as the pain of labor advances. For Magic has unexpectedly vanished. Neither demon nor witch has any powers. It is up to Paige to figure out how to use the magical gifts sent, including one mysterious unicorn, to thwart Cronyn's scheme, help restore magic and finally perform their destined tasks as midwives.
A magical appendage, though, rips asunder the illusion that Piper would give birth to a daughter. A son is born. A son who in the womb has already demonstrated great power to self-heal and deflect darklighter arrows. A son important enough for the demonic world to take notice and conspire to steal him away for the cause of Evil.
