Description: "The Charmed Ones help out Leo's mentor, Gideon, when he wants to find out who cast the spell of darkness over a magic school and conjured the Headless Horseman who has been beheading the teachers. Meanwhile, Phoebe goes on a vision quest and discovers who Chris really is."
A new dimension of the supernatural world was introduced for the first time to the sisters and that would be the infamous magic school. For it being such a big deal to all magical children everywhere, I'm surprised the sisters haven't at least heard about it in passing before. The Charmed Ones also were introduced to an old friend and mentor of Leo's and that would be Gideon. We don't know much about Mr. Gideon right now other than he's an elder and seems to know a lot about the Charmed Ones' past and present, but as the rest of this season unfolds his character will grow to something much more extraordinary. As a lot of the episodes recently, this one had the sisters digging deep within themselves and pushing past their reservations to find out who was trying to bring down magic school. It was awesome to see Paige embracing her new teacher role even though it was meant to be temporary, and you could tell that Paige really cared about those kids even if she was with them for a short amount of time. I was surprised to see how many children there are that have magical powers, but I guess it makes since though I've never thought much about it. The way the producers make magic school sound is it's a place that children can go to improve and build on their magical abilities and be with other children they can relate to. Even though Piper doesn't want to consider putting Wyatt in with other magical children, I think she should reconsider because it would probably do a lot of good for him. Piper and Leo seem to forget or don't think about it a lot of the time that they are raising a very powerful magical baby, and trying to raise him normal in the world where your mother is a Charmed one and your father is an elder would be quite difficult under a lot of circumstances. I'm not saying I don't understand Piper's want for Wyatt to feel he gets as normal of a childhood as possible, but in certain cases allowances have to be made. Speaking of seeking a normal future, this episode begins Phoebe's almost obsessive need to see what her future husband and child(s) will end up being like. Right now Phoebe is mentioning a faint feel like her biological clock is running at, but this ticking of her clock will become louder and more incessant as the rest of the series goes on. I thought the whole idea of the vision quest was very interesting to say the least, but I wouldn't want to embark on it myself if given the choice. I believe that our future is destined to happen whether we like it or not, so seeing it ahead of time is almost like ruining the illusion of the surprise. I guess to each their own and I know it helped Phoebe to feel more secure in what her future holds, but I wouldn't personally want to carry the burden of what might or might not happen to me years down the line. So Chris' story is finally starting to be read aloud so everybody can be let in on the big bad secret! So far only Phoebe has figured it out thanks to the vision quest, but soon it will have to be known to the rest of the Halliwell clan. If you didn't pick up on the interchange that Phoebe and Chris had in the last scene, Phoebe saw in her vision quest that Wyatt had a little brother. To put things in short words, she put two and two together and got Chris! I got to admit it was quite a far stretch for her to connect, but Chris didn't deny it all when she asked him in the end of the episode. He did bring up the small problem of the fact that Leo and Piper are no longer together as a couple, but that my friends is going to have to wait for another episode! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!
