5.0 out of 5 stars
The new look power of 3!!, 6 Sep 2005
Well it's all change in the 'Charmed' world now. I admit to not having high hopes after such a big character change, the top billed star leaving - how can you make up for that? I'm happy to admit I was wrong. As much as I love Shannen Doherty, new cast member Rose McGowan is kick-ass. The younger half-sister is the daughter of a witch and White-lighter, so her power is a mix of Prue's and the 'orbing' abilities of a White-lighter. Also the main men Leo and Cole are given bigger roles so there is a huge character growth all round for everyone. I've tried to keep the more personal aspects out of the episode summaries.Charmed Again (Part 1) Charmed Again (Part 2) After Prue's funeral Piper and Phoebe get the shock of their lives when they find out they have a younger sister Paige, the daughter of their Witch mother and her White-lighter lover. But what will Paige think of the Halliwell's danger filled world? Hell Hath No Fury Paige, fascinated by her new found magical powers, takes the Book of Shadows to work with her, much to the distress of Piper, who is also suppressing her feelings over Prue's death. All of Piper's hidden anger attracts a group of furies, who turn her into one of their own. Enter The Demon Still trying to get a handle on her powers Paige accidentally swaps bodies with Phoebe while making a potion. Meanwhile an apprentice Ninja kills his master, and it's up to our confused trio to vanquish him. Size Matters The demon Gamil shrinks his victims and makes them into figurines. The sisters walk right into his lair, and are shrunk to 5". Will they escape, or will they be baked in the kiln? A Knight To Remember While telling a story Paige summons a medical knight. Unfortunately he is followed by an evil sorceress intents on tricking him into marriage. Brain Drain Piper falls into a coma, and enters an alternate reality where the source convinces her she is crazy, and attempts to trick her into giving up her powers. Black As Cole A demon is accused of murdering witches who belong to the same coven. But the murderer is much closer to the Halliwell's. Is redemption for past sins possible? Muse To My Ears The sisters attempt to rescue kidnapped Muses. A Paige From The Past Still harbouring guilt over the accident that killed her adoptive parents Paige returns to the past with Leo. Back in the present two murderous ghosts process Phoebe and Cole, leaving Piper to separate them. Trial By Magic Serving jury duty, Phoebe has a premonition which reveals the accused is innocent, and a demon is guilty. Can the sisters find the demon, and can Phoebe convince the rest of the jury that the man is innocent? Lost And Bound A demon tries to deliver a 10 year old fire-starting orphan to the Source, to use his powers for evil. Piper and Leo fight to protect the child. Charmed And Dangerous There exists a semi truce between good and evil who band together to guard a mysterious entity known as the Hollow. That truce is broken when the Source releases the Hollow, which wastes to time in absorbing Piper's and Paige's powers. Two down, one to go... The Three Faces Of Phoebe Phoebe has cold feet over marrying Cole, so casts a spell, thus releasing a younger Phoebe, and a older Phoebe to help her make a decision. Marry-Go-Round The sisters' prepare for Phoebe's wedding, while the new source and the seer plan their own version of the wedding. The Fifth Halliwell With Piper and Leo, with newlywed Phoebe and Cole Paige feels like even more of an outsider. Plus she is the only one who can see something wrong with Cole. Saving Private Leo Two vengeful ghosts return from Leo's past endangering Piper's life. Bite Me Paige is bitten by a vampire and begins to turn. The vampire queen attempts to de-throne the new source. We're Off To See The Wizard Piper and Paige work with a wizard to try and stop the coronation of the new source. Long Live The Queen The new source now has his new Queen, while Piper appears ready to give up as new threats continually rain down on her destroyed family. Womb Raider The seers plan to steal the newly pregnant Queen's unborn baby, so she can raise it to be the next Source. Witch Way Now? The Angel of Destiny offers the sisters a chance to relinquish their powers and lead normal lives as a reward for their selfless sacrifices.
