This epi has Piper trying to find a way to write a note to Grams "friend" who comes every yr and she doesn't want to see him, but cant find a way in time and with the other 2 joking about "breaking" his heart, they answer the door. (wonder if on some level Piper sensed something off about him). Oh ya its always the same time an date. Every time he "drops" flowers (mess), but Piper freezes him to save the clean up. He unfreezes to tell them 5 chimes (its noon), you have your powers finally and now I can get them. Your mom blessed this ring and you cant hurt me, they just get away. Somehow find a spell cast it an still "home" but hey weird phone ringing, they are in the past, alive.
OK time travel, they meet themselves, well Piper an Prue as Phoebe is still on the "inside", and grams and their mom (of course the convincing we are you daughters/granddaughters), and love the fact that Andy is there too as a child, the history fits.
Now, I think that Grams did erase at least most of the memories, she would do that to keep consistency, she has mentioned it before.
To answer the question poised by arturo, Phoebe would have just been conceived when they "arrived" (season 8 Piper an Leo), but this took place between 3 an 6 weeks later, as Victor had moved into a hotel in this epi, but was still living at the manor when Leo an Piper came, which tech would be before the girls travelled back.
So time line the season 8 epi 22 took place before the season 1 epi 17, and when on the season 8 epi 22 they went "home" the 2 diff pasts, were brought back just before seeing Leo and Piper so no memory of them or the future.
The girls couldn't change Patty being tricked (yes victor would have to have been staying there but was away otherwise would be dead, other wise the demon wouldn't have been there). They were able to be the ones to break in a get the ring that Patty had blessed, and Penny was able to know that if done right, they would get back as he was still coming after them and kill him without him knowing they could.
So the visit to the past really didn't change the time line, and as my thinking, Grams would do what was needed to keep the balanced by "loosing" the memories.
