Complete story — includes the ending

Wanting to return to her old career as a social worker, Paige's plans get put on hold, when her Whitelighter father, Sam, returns asking for her help with his charge. Initially, she doesn't want to help as she doesn't feel he was around enough to be considered her dad. However, by the end of the episode she accepts him. Meanwhile, Piper and Leo go to see a magical marriage counselor who thinks the best therapy is for them to walk a mile in each others' shoes – literally. When they eventually become considerate of each others' difficulties (Leo has lost his powers and Piper has a multitude of obligations) they are switched back into the correct bodies.
