This is my thinking and also a continued thought I first touched on in another review of this series.
Piper steps in "duty" that an obnoxious neighbor deliberately stops his dog in front of their walk and/or driveway, I almost would say, train his dog to do his business there (prob at other neighbors too, illegal). So even though it was Phoebe who quite easily convinces esp Prue, she said something about it being wrong, and Piper to "get even". Phoebe decides to take a bit of a TV break, and gets slammed with a premonition which sets the girls to try and keep Phoebe from getting burned at the stake in 10yrs.
Instead of seeing themselves as children and interacting with them, they have essentially jumped 10yrs without knowing those 10yrs of their history. Prue, it seems doesn't spend much time with her sisters, guess with Phoebe in jail and Piper, well sounding like she is almost divorced with a daughter, and the book in Prues safe (kinda protecting her family and/or using for personal gain??) Phoebe in jail, a murder ? but how and why?
Powers much more powerful, Prue can really move things with a finger flick... Piper, a much larger freeze (my thinking, poss being able to freeze threw glass say like season 1s the epi the wendigo)...Phoebe, deff poss of a type of empathy she does get in series, that allowed her to channel enough to kill (was she caught on camera by the horrid Pratt/neighbor?)...2009 powers diff than the ones we see. (for this epi time line, had they lived the 10yrs leading up to 2009 without the time travel, then even this epi would have been diff, as even though they thought/planned to get Phoebe out; poss they may not have as it looks like they did not have a final destination to go/get to an be safe)
As for new powers or such, in 2009 don't think the "they" would give same as we saw in the series, why, they were using powers for their own gain, and the "they" wouldn't reward them by power "boosts" or such.
After Phoebe told them she had to die, even though she tech was innocent, they were sent back home to 1999. Realizing they are right where Phoebe had her vision, Prue an Piper (prob rem what Phoebe said the first time round about punishing the guilty),this time Phoebe said they were not to punish/get back at, (no matter whether a slime ball), then seeing it was Pratt who was with the dog.
Pre going to 2009, Piper would somehow be getting together with Leo, becoming pregnant a yr or so before we see her, as her daughter was a year or so older than Wyatt. Prue, other than the workaholic part, guessing that pulled away a bit at a time from family, maybe not saving the innocents the same way (Piper an Phoebe too). As for Phoebe, no Cole so none of that drama, school ? but going from what the comic part of charmed, Phoebe poss did get involved with the paper but not ask Phoebe, poss a type of reporter, got to know Elise, as in the comic, Elise almost died by Cal Green, the guy in her prem she killed. So because of all these changes and others that have no way of knowing, Prue didn't die in this time line.
Because they made a lot of changes, these changes were in most ways for the better, Prue lost her life trying to protect. So this epi "changed" the time line.
Also for those who keep saying that Prue should have at least come back in spirit form and poss other ways, SD did not want any thing that resembled her seen on the show (apt was asked to come, but said no), which is why not one picture is ever seen of Prue after she died, like most people and families, pictures are out, they had their mom an dad and grams plus who knows but not 1 that had Prue, Comics apt have a Prue, but looks nothing like her. Would the fans have put up with a diff Prue, one who couldn't look like SD in any way?? NO I wouldn't and don't think I am alone thinking NO
Er posting this, am over tired an when more awake an read this, if not quite what I was trying to say/type, will re do...gave this epi and 8.9
