Goofs
When Piper tells Phoebe "Don't do anything I wouldn't do", Phoebe replies with "Don't worry I won't..." which is to say she won't do any thing she wouldn't do then follows up with "you wouldn't cast a smart spell" which means she is going to do something Piper wouldn't do contradicting her statement to Piper.

Trapped in a Painting

Phoebe bumps Prue's car in a post and casts a spell to become smarter to get a job and pays for the repair. Meanwhile Prue receives an old painting for evaluation and she finds a man trapped inside a painted castle. She sends the painting to the x-ray and finds some expressions in Latin. When she reads the words, she is sucked to the painting and meets Malcolm, who has been living in the castle for seventy years. Piper finds the painting in Prue's office and brings to their house, and she also reads the words being also trapped with Prue and Malcolm. When Phoebe helps them, the Halliwell sisters disclose that the man is actually an evil warlock.

"The Painted World" is a delightful episode of "Charmed". The reckless and naive Phoebe, as usual, has the best lines and situations. The story is well resolved and entertaining. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "No Mundo do Quadro" ("In the World of the Painting")
