A new season, a new cast make over..., 13 Jan 2006
Well, we had a character change for series 4, and we get another for the 100th episode* this season. Yep we bid a fond farewell to Cole : ( But there will be a tiny new cast member – this season sees the birth of Piper and Leo’s baby. Season 5 stills retains it’s sense of realism with the added drama and wit that made CHARMED a huge success, but for me this series lost that special something that made it a must watch programme, though it picks it up as it nears the end. A Witch’s Tail (1) A Witch’s Tail (2) Phoebe is turned into a mermaid, giving her a cold heart and she runs away from her problems. Paige struggles balancing her charmed one life with her work life. Pregnant Piper begins to suffer from panic attacks. Happily Ever After The sisters are transported into classic fairy stories – Piper Little Red Riding Hood, Phoebe into Cinderella, and Paige into Snow White. Siren Song A Siren lures Phoebe and Cole, leaving Piper and Paige to save them. Piper’s unborn baby swaps her powers with Leo’s. Witches In Tights A demon is turned into a comic book character so he can steal the elder’s powers, leaving the sisters no choice but to don masks and catsuits to stop him. The Eyes Have It Phoebe discovers a demon which steals the eyes of gypsies. Piper wants to see a regular doctor, but Leo is concerned about being exposed. Sympathy For The Demon Here we see the return of Barbas (the demon of fear) who once again plunges the sisters into their darkest fears. A Witch In Time An evil warlock tries to steal the book of shadows and succeeds in killing 2 of the sisters, leaving our lone survivor to decide if going back in time to save their life’s is the right thing to do. Sam I Am Paige, as a whitelighter, gets her first charge. Cole tries to force the sisters to kill him. Y Tu Mummy Tambien A demon tries to resurrect the spirit of his dead lover by using Phoebe to host her. The Importance Of Being Phoebe Cole kidnaps Phoebe and sends a shapeshifter to take her place. Centennial Charmed * Cole creates a world where Phoebe and Piper never meet Paige in a desperate attempt to keep Phoebe by his side. House Call The sisters enlist the help of a witch doctor in removing the traces of evil from around the house. Is he friend or foe? Paige’s ex shows up with a big surprise. Sand Francisco Dreamin’ A demon causes the sisters nightmares to come to life. The Day The Magic Died As Piper’/s baby is about to be born all magic dies, leaving her defenceless against the evil being that want the baby. Baby’s First Demon New aunties Paige and Phoebe try to protect baby from 2 demons while Phoebe’s career looks like its on shaky ground. Lucky Charmed A demon is killing leprechauns so they bless the sisters with good luck to track the demon down, but their luck soon backfires. Cat House When she begins to have marital problems, Piper casts a spell to show her’s and Leo’s past together. However it backfires, taking Phoebe and Paige to relive the memories. Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun When a demon attacks and kills a water nymph that protects a lake, the surviving nymphs decide Paige should take her place. Saying no doesn’t seem to be an option. Sense And Sense Ability The Crone steals one of the senses from each of the sisters, in an attempt to fool Piper’s child into allowing her to get closer to baby. Necromancing The Stone Grandma Halliwell returns to the manor for a wiccan birthing ceremony for her grandchild. Oh My Goddess (1) Oh My Goddess (2) The titans are released and kill the elders giving Leo no choice but to take their places. Meanwhile the sisters are given the powers of greek goddesses to enable them to destroy the titans before they kill all of the whitelighters.
