"-any good you did during your prideful state was for the greater glory of Prue..."
At the time, Prue had conceded to her sister's words a little reluctantly, not believing them in the slightest and simply wanting to put an end to the conversation, but she'd had the chance to mull over what had happened since; Lucas, the sins. You were pre-disposed to a particular one - Piper to gluttony and overindulgence, Leo to sloth and taking one break too many, Phoebe to lust (yeah, like that was a big suprise). It was a fact that Prue was pride's bitch, whether she liked it or not. But she was trying to change!
Looking at herself in the mirror though, she had to wonder - was she really trying to change? And yet how could she be expected to; she was so pumped up on her own sense of self-importance she hadn't thought there was anything to change!
It was a lot harder being the oldest sister than Piper and Phoebe realised. Having to take care of everyone and everything. Do everything first, pave the way. Experience things and be there with warnings and advice. If she lost sight of her purpose, it wouldn't just be Prue who suffered. Her sisters would too. And she simply couldn't let that happen.
The trick was to find a balance. Just like she had been trying to do before everything happened. Except instead of just finding a balance between real life - work, dating - and vanquishing demons, she had to find a balance between the fact that her place in this family was important, but it wasn't more important than anyone else's. Too long had she let her sisters rely on her because she felt she had to be their mother's replacement. Too long had they thought of her as the strongest sister. It was called the Power Of Three. And Prue was going to remind her Piper and Phoebe just how important they each were to that equation too.
