"Out Of Sight"

Description: "When Prue witnesses a kidnapping in the park, a reporter sees her using her powers. Phoebe and Piper attempt to learn more about the demons who stole the child and stop the reporter from exposing Prue. Meanwhile, Andy finally learns about Prue's powers."
Grimlocks are noted as demons that kidnap little boys to steal their eyesight to use for their own devious ways of killing, but doesn't that seem very disturbing and weird? The sisters have never come across a demon quite like this before, and I'm sure they won't be in a hurry to see them again after this. The grimlocks have a lot of nerve to kidnap a child in broad daylight, but the grimlock obviously thought there would be no one in the park with powers able to stop it. Boy was he wrong, and because of his stupidity now Prue has to pay for it. That reporter guy was very questionable and annoying, plus he had a very devious side. What kind of normal person uses what they know against someone and makes it a point to stake out their house day and night? He clearly set his sights on becoming a famous reporter off of the outcome of releasing the story that Prue was a witch, and once that dream was set in his mind he wasn't taking anything but 'yes' for an answer. I wasn't sad to see him meet his demis at the end of the episode, but if he had just kept out of business that wasn't his own he wouldn't have had an issue. I'm glad that Andy has finally been let in on the big secret, since it was geting harder to keep it from him. He wasn't getting very far from figuring it out on his own, and just a couple more episodes he would have put two and two together and got witch. How many viewers were disappointed when Andy and Prue didn't get back together even though he knows she's a witch? You're not alone trust me, but Andy has his reasons and he deserves to lead a normal life. A funny scene from this episode is when Phoebe is on the internet looking up the kidnappings from twenty years ago while Piper is going around the kitchen pulling boxes out of cabinets. Then when Phoebe turns around to tell Piper something and sees all the boxes in her hand she says, "Honey, I know you're upset but that's not going to help." Too funny! Way to jump to conclusions Phoebe, but it was an understandable conclusion since a way people deal with stress is by eating and Piper was holding the food. Speaking of Piper, I knew this Josh dude was too good to be true and wasn't going to last long. Just when Piper was really starting to get comfortable with him, he goes and drops the bomb that he's leaving to take a job in Beverly Hills. I thought it was hilarious when Piper thought Josh wanted to have the "sex talk", when all he wanted to ask was whether she wanted him to stay or go, which was then followed with her getting all confused and making the conversation really awkward. I thought it was really sweet that Josh considered Piper's feelings but she clearly only has eyes for Leo. Piper said this too, when Phoebe and Prue wanted to know what her decision was about Josh. Piper has been doing a lot of following her instincts lately and I'm glad, because her instincts seem to always point back to Leo. For all you guys who are anxiously waiting for Leo to come back don't worry, his return is only one more episode away! The guy that Phoebe went to go see who had lost his eyesight in the first kidnapping twenty years ago was really sweet and helpful. I thought it was nice that since he lost his eyesight from these monsters, he wanted to do anything and everything he could to help find the current missing little boys. I was glad to see that since he had done so much in ensuring that the boys were rescued, that at the end of the episode he got his reward of getting his eyesight back.

"When Bad Warlocks Turn Good"

Description: "Prue attempts to help a young man who desires to become a priest, in order to avoid fulfilling his destiny as a warlock of the Evil Charmed Ones. Meanwhile, Phoebe tries to get Piper to stop shying away from a date with Josh."
I cringe to think what would ever happen to the world if the Evil Charmed Ones, known as the Rowe coven, ever come into power. They would be just as powerful as the Charmed Ones and the two groups would be on equal fronts. That would mean the Rowe coven would actually have a chance of possibly defeating the Halliwell sisters. It's a good thing that Brendan feels the same way and was willing to change his whole life around to make sure that didn't happen. I like how Prue believed in Brendan from the beginning without any trace of hesitation. I wonder how Brendan felt growing up knowing he had certain obligations with the Rowe coven, but since he wasn't evil he wanted to break away and leave. It's not easy to go against the norm of what your family has been doing for centuries, create a whole new life for yourself, and leave behind everything you have always known. It takes a strong person both mentally and spiritually to accomplish this task and I knew from the beginning that Brendan had what it takes to succeed. I'm glad that Piper decided to turn down Josh all those times he asked her on a date. Piper knows in her heart that she might never get the chance to see Leo again, but if she's spending all her time thinking of Leo it's not healthy for either party to be in another relationship right now. On top of that, Piper has had so many disappointments recently in her relationships that a part of her has sort of given up hope. I think the only reason she agreed to go out with Josh in this episode was that Phoebe was pushing her to do it. I thought it was sweet that Phoebe was so concerned about why Piper didn't want to go out on dates with guys, and was trying anything in her power to convince her. Ultimately, I don't think that Phoebe cares who Piper dates if anybody, but just that Piper is happy. After the date was over, it looked like Piper was going to try and give the relationship with Josh a chance. I personally don't think the relationship between them is going to last, because deep down Piper still has strong feelings for Leo whether she wants to admit them or not. Josh seems like the kind of guy who's very clingy and needs to be with or talk to Piper on an hourly basis, and seems to me that he's also one to get jealous very easily. Andy is starting to get on my last nerves again, because every little thing that has the slightest hint of pointing the finger in Prue's direction and Andy takes the opportunity to jump down her throat. Judging by the contents of the folder Andy has been putting together, it also looks like Andy's getting closer to figuring out the sisters' secret. You can tell how much Andy cares about Prue if he's willing to go this far to figure out what she's hiding from him. I think the biggest thing that pushed Prue further and further away from Andy and why she hasn't told him her secret yet is that he won't let things go. I think Prue assumed Andy would just wait until she was ready to tell him instead of bothering her constantly about it. If the suspense has been killing you guys don't worry, Andy will find out very soon so stay tuned! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"That 70s Episode"

Description: "A powerful warlock shows up claiming he made a pact with the sisters' mother in which he spared her life in exchange for the girls' powers. Fleeing him, the sisters go back in time to the 1970s when their mother was still alive, and they try to prevent the pact."
"A time for everything and to everything its place, return what has been moved from time and space." This has got to be the most emotional episode that we have seen so far, because it was really touching to see the girls have a reunion with their mother and grandmother. It was cool to watch Prue and Piper see themselves as little girls and find out they had powers when they were children. It was a surprise to the sisters since they don't remember having powers when they were little, since they assumed the first time they got their powers was last year. The two little girls that were chosen to play little Prue and Piper were too cute for words! Seeing Piper in pigtails was absolutely adorable, and I thought it was neat that the children were portraying the same personality types as the Charmed Ones still have in present day. Speaking of cute little kids, how adorable was little Andy? I knew that Andy and Prue had known each other for a long time, but I had no idea they had known each other since before Phoebe was born. I love how when big Piper gets little Piper to freeze Andy so they could get out of the house undetected, Prue is waiting at the door when they run out and says, "You know, that's probably why Andy is so suspicious of us." I'm surprised that Andy never realized something weird was going on when he was little. Such a naive little boy that he was! This was also the first episode that Grams and Patty have been shown as characters, although we saw Grams in one of Phoebe's premonitions during the episode, "Is There A Woogy In The House." Viewers will quickly find out that summoning or meeting people who have long since passed away isn't very uncommon in this show. In the future, the sisters almost always conjure Grams when they need help with difficult situations. Not having to let go of your loved ones who have died are one of the many perks of being a witch. My favorite quote in this episode is when the sisters have been arrested and Piper says, "I can't believe we got arrested for kidnapping ourselves!" And then Prue says, "Well, that should make for an interesting defense." I thought it was funny how Grams automatically assumed that the sisters were warlocks and didn't even consider there could be a reasonable explanation for them being there. With Grams being a witch she should know there is usually a good reason for everything, although it has been said before that Grams was very overprotective of her granddaughters so that also may have had something to do with it. After Patty bailed the sisters out of jail and brought them back to the manor with her, I thought the questions Grams was asking them to make sure they weren't imposters were hilarious. My favorite would have to be, "What was the name of my husband?" In which one of them responds, "Which one?" Too funny, since it's a running joke in the Halliwell family that Grams was married multiple times! I have to give Nicholas props for being able to conceal his true identity and intentions from the sisters all those years. Even though they didn't have their powers yet the last time he came to visit, anybody can tell a major creep from a normal person. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"Which Prue Is It Anyway?"

Description: "When Phoebe has a premonition of Prue being stabbed to death, it coincides with a warrior coming to town in order to steal the abilities of a first born witch."
Three Prue clones? Could you imagine what it would be like if someone you knew cloned themselves? I found it hilarious how the Halliwells had an issue with the bathrooms when it was just the three of them, and then Prue made it an even bigger problem by cloning herself. It didn't take Phoebe and Piper long to realize that living with two extra clones of Prue wasn't going to work, since not only were they now hogging both of the bathrooms, they were drinking all of the coffee. Making Prue and her clones wear the different colored sweaters to tell them apart was ingenious. Piper and Phoebe still had to keep track of where the clones went throughout the day, but at least they could distinguish which one was the real Prue. It looks like Phoebe has finally found an outlet for her pent up frustration and anger, plus she's found something she can excel at and use to fight demons since she doesn't have an active power. I love when Piper and Prue came home and they're talking, when they start hearing Phoebe in the other room and it sounds like she's fighting something. So the two of them go in the other room and see Phoebe beating up on "Mr. Slam." When Prue and Piper ask Phoebe what's going on and she responds with, "Oh, nothing," and Piper responds with, "Nothing? It looks like you're about to open up a can of whoop a**!" Too funny! Piper has such a witty and sarcastic humor about her and it gets to me every time. This lords of war guy Gabriel and his sister Helena were really creepy. I don't understand why the producers included the bit in the beginning of the episode where Gabriel killed that fighter/boxer, because it had no significance to the rest of the episode so it wasn't needed. It was probably the producers way of introducing the demon to the viewers before the sisters even knew about him. Despite Gabriel and his sister Helena being Warriors of War, they had an impressive collection of artifacts. I don't know that much about the different forms of art, but even I can appreciate a good collection that's valuable when I see it. Too bad it was all a set up, and all in attempt to obtain the powers of a first born witch! I still can't believe that Gabriel killed his sister because one of the clones offered Helena in exchange for the sword. My family means everything to me, so I don't understand how people can do that to their family member since I would literally trade anything to save one of my family members. But that my friends is where the fine line between good and evil is drawn. I also found it interesting how both of Prue's clones represented parts of her personality that we don't get to see very often. For example, clone one represented the bossy controlling Prue, whereas clone two represented the fun loving, partying side of Prue. In other words, it was parts of Prue's personality that she often represses. I thought it was sweet when Andy was so distraught when he thought it was Prue who was dead in the morgue. Even though Andy's mad at Prue because he can tell she's keeping something from him, you can still see how much he truly loves and cares for her. "May the power of three set you free!"

"Is There A Woogy In The House"

Description: "Phoebe's fear of the 'Woogyman' amuses Prue and Piper, until an earthquake releases a shadow demon. Phoebe under the control of the Woogyman, tries to kill Prue and Piper, who must find a way to rescue Phoebe and get rid of the Woogyman."
"I am light! I am one too strong to fight! Return to dark where shadows dwell, you cannot have this Halliwell! Go away and leave my sight, and take with you this endless night!" This was the spell Phoebe uses to get rid of the shadow demon in the basement. I love this episode because it has a lot of humor in it, and my favorite quote is when Prue and Piper are trying to remember the spell Grams had taught them about the Shadow demon and Prue goes, "Well, Phoebe knows it, she knows it by heart." Piper comes back with, "Something tells me she's not in the sharing mood right now." Too funny! Phoebe at the time had already been taken over by the Shadow demon and was in the midst of trying to kill them. Piper and Prue never took Phoebe seriously about why she was reluctant to go into the basement all her life, but now that they know there's definitely down there that's sinister they won't be mocking her anymore. Another funny moment in this episode is when Andy and his partner Daryl had gotten called in for a disturbance across the street from the Halliwells, and at the same time they wanted to ask the sisters a couple of questions about the professor who had got taken over by the Shadow demon at their house the night before. When they got out of the car, Daryl looks at the Halliwell house and says, "Why does it feel like we live here?" I thought it was hilarious because Daryl is right, him and Andy have had cases in every episode so far that somehow or another involved the supernatural and thus involved the sisters. Don't worry inspectors, you'll find out eventually what's going on, so stay tuned to find out when they do! Now what is with this cute guy named Josh who seems to have a crush on Piper? Sorry dude, Piper is off limits in my opinion, she belongs to Leo! What is with this new kick butt power Phoebe obtained when she was taken over by the Shadow demon? I wish the writers would let Phoebe keep that really cool power, since all she had to do was think of something she wanted and it would magically appear. Think about how much easier their demon fighting would go if Phoebe had that power. That would be nifty! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!

"Secrets and Guys"

Description: "Prue helps a young witch who has been kidnapped, and renews her own faith in having children. Meanwhile, Phoebe finds out that Leo is really a guardian angel for good witches, and Leo must break up with Piper."
A whitelighter! The truth is finally out, and now everybody knows that Leo is a whitelighter! Are any of you surprised? Phoebe sure was when she came into the living room to give the phone to Leo and saw him floating to put in a light bulb. What would your reaction be to this shocking sight? Phoebe's reaction was to scream, freak out, and accuse Leo of of being a warlock. I don't blame Phoebe for immediately jumping to the conclusion that Leo was evil with all the demons and warlocks that the Charmed Ones fight on a daily basis. The sisters have to be wary of who they are associating themselves with, because if they aren't careful they could get themselves in a lot of unnecessary trouble. I found it sad that Leo had to break up with Piper because whitelighters and witches aren't supposed to fall in love. This was the first time that Leo has said he loves Piper and I thought it was so sweet! For all of you Piper and Leo fans out there don't fret yet, this is not the last time you will see Leo! Just hold on tight you won't have to wait long, I promise. The first time I saw this episode I was a bit confused because up until now the Charmed Ones have never come across a male witch before. The producers and writers always made it seem like only women were witches. This is also the first time the sisters have come across a child that has magical powers, because when Andy told Prue she was surprised. I found it really sweet how Prue didn't want to have kids until she met Max, and then she realized she would want to be a mother one day. I believe that all the sisters will make wonderful mothers one day, it's just the little factor about bringing them up among all these demon attacks. I felt bad for Max and his father about losing their mother and wife. The father was so mad at his wife for not telling him she was witch and I don't blame him. Honesty is the most important thing in a relationship and when you lose someone's trust there's no saving the relationship. What I don't agree with is him having ill feelings toward his son because of his wife not telling him. You can't blame your song for something your wife did, because Max had no idea he had powers either until his mother told him. You should love your children unconditionally no matter what they do or what they are. I thought it was hilarious when Phoebe was giving Leo advice on how to break up with Piper! I know it was hard for both Leo and Piper to say goodbye to the relationship, but Leo has his reasons although he doesn't agree with the rules. I cried when they broke up because I'm a huge Piper and Leo fan and I always want them to be together forever. A lot of disappointment goes on in this show though if you are a Leo and Piper fan, so be warned. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"From Fear To Eternity"

Description: "The Demon of Fear emerges every 1300 years and sets off to kill 13 unmarried witches by midnight, including the Charmed Ones. The sisters must learn to conquer their fears in order to defeat him. Meanwhile, Phoebe has misgivings about her expected duties at a new job, and Piper is frustrated by her superstition about relationships started on Friday the 13th."
"You are frozen! In fear!!!" What an extremely creepy thing to say, and this has got to be the ugliest demon we have seen on this show so far. The Halliwells might have thought they got rid of Barbas for good in this episode, but this isn't the last time they're going to see him, and Barbas will soon become their most recurring demon. I thought it was really sweet that Phoebe's greatest fear above all else was losing one of her sisters. What's ironic though is that last year when she was living in New York and didn't particularly like her sisters that much, it probably wouldn't have been her greatest fear. I found it really sad that ever since her mom died, Prue has been afraid of drowning and saying 'I love you'. The drowning part is understandable since the girls' mother died in the water, and the fear of saying she loves anyone because the last person she said it too she lost, is just heartbreaking. The bond between mother and daughter is very close and the Halliwell sisters had to learn the hard way that you have to cherish every moment you have together, because it can be quickly taken from you in a heart beat. I thought it was hilarious how superstitious Piper was, but with all the demons they encounter on a daily basis they can never be too careful. Every person has varying degrees of superstitiousness, but I have never seen someone who followed the precautions for all of them like Piper was. I understand Piper's wariness about relationships beginning on Friday the 13th, especially since she revealed that she met Jeremy on Friday the 13th and he ended up being an evil warlock. But some of the other superstitions, such as throwing the salt over the shoulder or covering your mouth when you yawn so as not to let in the evil spirits, were going a little bit overboard. I'm surprised that Phoebe has taken the initiative and has been going out trying to find a job. Phoebe has never struck me as the working type or even one who can hold down a job for a period of time. If I had to guess where her first choice of employment would be though, a real estate agency wouldn't even make the top twenty. But sure enough there she was in an interview, where I don't think the employer was so much interested in how good of a job Phoebe could do, but if Phoebe was willing to keep her secret. In the end, Prue conquered her fear of drowning (with the help of her mother) and defeated Barbas. With the help of her sisters, Prue was also able to finally open up and say 'I love you' to them. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!

"The Wendigo"

Description: "When Piper is attacked by a vicious beast, Andy goes on a stakeout with an FBI agent who is hunting the creature. Meanwhile, Prue hires Phoebe to work at the auction house, but Phoebe's vision of a terrible car crash immediately sends her off on a mission to find a long-lost child."
A monstrous creature with yellow eyes and talons for claws, what would your reaction be if you were in the dark park at night and this animal attacked you? Fortunately, none of you have ever had to encounter one of these beasts before, but Piper wasn't so lucky. I almost puked when Piper showed her arm for the first time and it was all green and hairy. It was so disgusting! I'm glad that Andy has finally come around to his senses and is being more helpful to the Halliwells instead of detrimental. I thought it was sweet of Andy to say that Piper was like his sister too, and that he was so willing to give blood on her behalf and promised to catch the monster no matter what. I can't believe he went out of his way to call Piper the day after the attack and make sure she was doing alright and resting. Now I can see why Andy and Prue got along so well when they dated, because they both are overprotective and like to take the lead and be in charge. Speaking of the relationship between Prue and Andy, I found it funny when she showed some jealousy that Ashley and Andy looked like they got along so well together. This is the first time since they've broken up that Prue has showed any jealousy toward Andy, and it probably won't be the last time. I always knew there was something weird and not right about that Fallon investigator, but I had no idea that she was actually the one turning into the Wendigo and killing these people. What kind of person could do something that horrific to innocent people? Some people have compared the Wendigo to a Werewolf and suggested that the transformation happened against their will and had no way of controlling it, but the way Ashley Fallon was acting I have a feeling she knew good and well what she was doing. Eww, and making your diet fully consist of human hearts is just gross! I felt bad for Billy Waters, but thought it was commendable that he devoted his whole life to hunting the same beast that killed his fiancee, in the hopes that the same fate wouldn't befall anybody else. It's sad that he was killed by Fallon in the end, but he died a true hero. Speaking of victims of the Wendigo, I'm glad that Prue and Phoebe made it to the park in time to keep Fallon from killing Andy. If they had been delayed just a couple more seconds, Andy wouldn't be able to live to see another day. I thought it was lucky that Piper was able to use her powers in the end to keep Phoebe from shooting and killing the wrong Wendigo. Piper is the first one out of the sisters to turn into a magical creature, but she will certainly not be the last. The whole side story with Phoebe finding the missing girl was very touching, but I don't know how it tied in with the main story. It was kind of one of those things that if the writers had left out completely it wouldn't have made any difference and the episode would have still been great. I'm still not sure why Phoebe felt like she should quit her job at Bucklands though. She said it was because every time she touched something she ran the risk of having a vision, but the same could be said for every job she'll have in the future. I thought it was hilarious at the end of the episode when the sisters are sitting in Quake and Piper makes Phoebe and Prue think she still has the mentality of a Wendigo. Then when Piper says, "It's a joke, lighten up!" I thought the finger thing that Prue and Phoebe do is a little bit strange. It must be an inside joke between the sisters, because they use it again off and on throughout the rest of the series. I also thought it was hilarious when Phoebe and Prue had to find something to chain up Piper with so she wouldn't be able to escape when she turned into a Wendigo, and Phoebe leaves the room and comes back with handcuffs. Then Prue says, "Where did you get.....? Never mind!" Too funny! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!

"Feats Of Clay"

Description: "When Phoebe's ex-boyfriend comes to town, he brings trouble in the form of a stolen Egyptian urn which carries a mortal curse. Meanwhile, Prue deals with her own problem of trying to save the auction house from bankruptcy, and Piper's use of her powers in a misguided attempt at matchmaking, may backfire."
Did Clay steal an Egyptian urn or an Egyptian urn with a curse? Now that is the question, but whether he knew about the curse or not doesn't change the fact that he stole the urn in the first place. If I was Phoebe, I wouldn't have given him a second chance once I found out the urn was stolen. There is obviously a reason Phoebe broke up with Clay in New York, so why she let him back into her life when he came to San Francisco is beyond me. It's hard to teach an old guy new tricks, but when it came to Clay and how much he cared about Phoebe it changed everything. What was with Clay's creepy friend that came to see him? He was all jumpy and nervous and seemed like he was psycho. The producers never made it clear what the other guys' relationship with Clay was. When they showed Clay and his two cronies stealing the urn in the beginning of the episode, it looked like one guy was the leader and the other two were just following behind, or that the other two wanted to steal the urn but made Clay come along and didn't tell him all the danger that was involved. They whispered something that made it seem like they knew that the urn was cursed, but Clay expressed to Phoebe that he didn't have any clue it was cursed. They also never made it clear why Clay and the other two dudes wanted to steal it in the first place? If it was for money they had to have known if it was reported stolen they wouldn't have gotten any money for it. All in all, there were a lot of large holes in Clay's story about how he came across the urn in the first place. What is with the curse and the weird guardian chick anway? She's so creepy and promiscuous looking that she could almost be classified as a demon. I don't know, I never quite figured out her true intentions. I thought it was sweet how Piper wanted to help Doug and get Shelly back, but I thought it was kind of obnoxious that Doug kept dropping everything when Shelly walked or looked at him. I'm surprised that Piper didn't lose her temper and fire Doug with how crazy he was driving her. It seems like ever since Piper starting going out with Leo she's been more understanding with relationships. The whole confidence spell that Piper cast on Doug was a real hoot though. Seeing Doug juggling things and setting up dates right and left. So much for Piper wanting to get Doug back together with Shelly, because if he keeps setting up dates with other girls Shelley won't want him back. I thought it was hilarious when Prue comes home after finding out the urn was stolen and barges into Phoebe's room without knocking, getting ready to confront her. Piper tried to warn her that Phoebe and Clay were preoccupied, but she walked out of the living room too fast. After Phoebe lets Clay out the front door, she turns around and tells Prue, "I hope you liked the show!" Too funny! I thought it was sweet that Clay was able to break the curse with an unselfish act, and that unselfish act just happened to be saving Phoebe's life. How sweet! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!

"Wicca Envy"

Description: "When Prue is framed by Rex for stealing from the auction house, it's up to Piper and Phoebe to uncover that Rex is actually a warlock."
Rex Buckland and Hannah Webster? I think not! Let's try Killer 1 and Killer 2 out for size! So the truth is finally out about these two, and Prue was so pissed to find out. It made it worse that they framed her for stealing that priceless tiara and killing that security guard. Rex turned out to be a warlock and Hannah is some kind of shape-shifter or something. The producers never really explained what Hannah was exactly, but she was able to shape shift into a panther so I just took an educated guess. Now that Piper is no longer competing with Phoebe for Leo, she has finally succeeded in asking Leo out on a date! I thought it was hilarious when Prue and Phoebe got back home from shopping and caught Leo and Piper on their way up to her bedroom. Frolicking all over the house is so un-Piperish! Also, viewers finally find out that Leo is definitely hiding something and he's not just a regular mortal handyman! If it wasn't for Leo being their to work his magic on the Book of Shadows, the sisters would be dead right now and Rex and Hannah would have their powers. If any of you guys are hesitant on whether Leo is good or evil, it's obvious he's good or he wouldn't have bothered helping the sisters. I'm also pretty sure that if Leo was evil he would have killed the Halliwells a long time ago. To see how the story with Leo plays out, you're just going to have to stay tuned. I love how in the span of a couple of episodes, Piper went from being too shy to ask Leo out because she's never done it before, to her and Leo doing the dirty all over the house. Is this really Piper we're talking about?! These last couple episodes, Andy has been seriously making Phoebe and I mad. Ever since Prue and him broke up, he's been accusing her of everything that's been going on. He didn't even give her the benefit of the doubt when Hannah killed the security guard, he just assumed that she was lying and wouldn't let her explain. Andy and Prue have known each other since they were kids, he should have known that Prue would never be capable of the things he's blaming her for. I was very proud to see that Phoebe didn't hesitate on standing up for Prue, that just goes to show how much their relationship has grown in the short amount of time since they've become witches. It was great to see them work together as a team in the end, when they burned up the page in the Book of Shadows to relinquish their powers. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"The Witch Is Back"

Description: "A warlock from the past is released from his curse and tries to steal the sisters' powers with the help of Rex and Hannah, but the sisters resurrect their ancestor to combat him. Meanwhile, Piper works up her courage to ask Leo out, and Andy gets frustrated by Prue's continued involvement with bizarre police investigations."
Cursing Matthew Tate into a locket seemed like a good idea to Melinda Warren when she did so back in the 1700s, but she didn't count on her descendents opening the locket 300 years later. But with the help of Rex, Prue got hold of the locket at the auction house, and Matthew Tate was released into present day San Francisco. Matthew Tate ended up being the first warlock the sisters would face that had some powers they had never come across before, including being able to steal Prue's power and her sisters' powers soon after. Before Matthew Tate came along, the form of transportation known as blinking was foreign to the Halliwells. I thought it was pretty cool to see the Charmed Ones conjure their ancestor Melinda Warren from the dead. How many people can say they have met the creators of their family line? Not only was she able to come back from the dead for a short period of time, Melinda was able to band together with the sisters to send Matthew Tate right back where he came from. I'm glad that Phoebe has finally realized that she needs to step back and give Piper a chance with Leo. Ever since the truth spell incident, Piper has been building up the courage to ask Leo out on a date, since according to her she's never asked a guy out before. My favorite quote in this episode is when Phoebe says, "Am I the only sister that inherited the 'take a chance gene'?" When Piper responds with, "I think so, because if I remember my biology correctly that's right next to the 'I can't mind my own business gene'!" Too funny! What I love the most about this show is that the producers don't just show all the demon fighting, they also include how the sisters deal with staying close to each other. When the Halliwells are portrayed as normal siblings that have quarrels just like everybody else, it brings the show on a more personal level and makes it great. This whole situation with Rex and Hannah is really starting to get quite annoying! The writers are drawing this situation out longer than I would think possible. I still can't believe that Prue hasn't realized something fishy is going on. You'll just have to wait and see how this story eventually plays out, but I promise you won't be disappointed. Andy really pissed me off in this episode when he went ballistic over Prue refusing to talk to him. HELLO, just because you guys dated doesn't mean you get information from her all the time! You guys broke up, remember? I just wish Prue will tell Andy again, this time so he can remember it. It might make things really awkward between the two of them, but things are already awkward so how much worse can things really get? "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"The Truth Is Out There.....And It Hurts"

Description: "Acting on Phoebe's premonitions, the sisters race to stop a mysterious killer from striking again. Meanwhile, Prue finds a truth spell and uses it to find out what Andy's reaction to her being a witch would be."
This is one of my favorite episodes in Season One because we all know how hard it is to tell the truth sometimes, so can you imagine what it would be like if you were forced to tell the truth all the time? What problems that would cause for everyone involved? I think it was smart for Prue to use the spell to see what Andy would say before she would actually have to say it for real. I did feel bad for Prue at the end of the episode though, when she found out that Andy would never be able to accept being in a relationship with someone who was a witch. I can understand where Andy is coming from in wanting to live a normal life, but I was glad that he still wanted to be friends with Prue. I don't know if Andy would have had a better reaction to finding out Prue was a witch if she had given him more time, but it couldn't have hurt. At least there's no more wondering about what Andy's reaction will be, but now he won't even remember it since the spell wore off, although I think in some ways Prue is actually happy about that. Don't worry this story isn't even close to being played out, so stay tuned to find out what happens next! I think Prue should have been more careful in making sure no one else was in the house though, that way it wouldn't have affected Phoebe and Piper also. As opposed to Prue, Piper had a much better outcome of the truth spell. Piper isn't the most outgoing person in the world, so I believe the spell gave her the confidence she needed to ask Leo how he felt about her. I was as shocked as Piper about how well the spell worked, and Piper and Leo had their first kiss! (Insert shriek time here) I couldn't believe my eyes when they first kissed and I cannot express to you guys enough how much I LOVE this couple! It just sucks that Leo doesn't remember what happened between the two of them, but toward the end it sounded like Piper was going to work on it the right way now that she knows how Leo feels about her. Now what is with this creepy demon from the future? We never even learned his name and only know him as the demon with three eyes. Isn't that weird? The producers could have done a better job of explaining what the vaccine was for. The demon said it was used to get rid of warlocks like him, but what do the people he killed have anything to do with this vaccine that's going to be created in the future? Even if those people worked on the vaccine that brought about his demise, killing him wouldn't stop other people from making the same vaccine. I found it funny when Piper stood up to her boss and actually quit, then when the truth spell was over, Martin didn't even remember the incident. But I was proud of Piper when she went back into the kitchen and told Martin how it was, and this time he was sure to remember it. Thanks to the truth spell, Hannah finally slipped up enough to make Prue really suspicious. I won't be long now until Prue uncovers what's really going on at Buckland's Auction house, and it's not going to be pretty! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!

"The Fourth Sister"

Description: "A troubled teenage girl befriends Phoebe with the hopes of joining the Halliwells, but she's been lured to the dark powers of witchcraft by a sorceress. Meanwhile, Prue tries to find time with Andy, and Phoebe and Piper vie for the attention of Leo."
The Halliwell Sisters: Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. NOT Aviva! I'm sorry, but you can't just invite yourself into a family if they don't want you, just because you have powers like they do. That's an invasion of privacy, and I wouldn't have liked it any more than Prue did. Especially since it seemed like Aviva was out to purposefully get Prue, and was doing anything of her power to either seriously injure her or even kill her. I was very upset when Andy and Prue broke up, because I love the two of them together as a couple. They are so sweet and understanding, and that's mostly due to the fact that they grew up together. It was devastating! I don't fully agree with Prue wanting to keep her being a witch a secret from Andy, but like she said, "It's not just her secret to keep." I agree with this statement because all of the sisters are witches, not just Prue, so it's not just her life that she would be revealing. I do wish though that Prue would find a way to tell him because keeping the truth from someone you love is almost as bad as just lieing to them. No matter how afraid Prue is of Andy's reaction it's always better to tell the truth. Andy would get over it eventually, but what's going to hurt him the most is that Prue lied to him this whole time. It's hard to see them both hurting because they love eachother but the secret is literally tearing them apart. I'm not going to give anything away, so you guys are just going to have to wait and see. This demon/sorceress Kali is mostly a joke in my eyes, because she's technically a demon, but what kind of demon lives in a mirror? That's right, one who's not poweful enough to actually have a body to fight like any other demon. Kali is such a pathetic excuse for a demon, that she has to go through an innocent teenage girl to get what she wants. Even if she was successful in obtaining the Charmed Ones' powers, how would she have used them to their full potential from a mirror? The whole idea was a really stupid concept, and it seemed to me that Kali was more hoping it was going to work instead of knowing for sure it was going to go as she planned. I thought it was hilarious when Piper and Phoebe were having a competition over who would get Leo. Poor Leo doesn't know anything is going on, and the sisters are using his cluelessness to their advantage. I died laughing when Piper told Leo that Phoebe was a lesbian, and Phoebe told him that Piper was on medication and was seeing a shrink. I agree with Prue a little bit that Phoebe only likes Leo so much because she knows Piper likes him, but she will eventually learn that she has no chance with Leo. Now back to Aviva, what kind of sick person steals someone's cat, keeps the cat in a closet, and pretends she found the cat just so she could get close to the Halliwells? I mean HELLO cat cruelty! Can you tell I'm not Miss Aviva's bigges fan? I kind of felt bad for Aviva though with her mom being in rehab and her not having much family around. It's got to be hard to go through, and the only reason she wanted to be a part of the Halliwells is because she wanted sisters. Kali was using Aviva's feelings of loneliness and abandonment to use against her, and that my friends is why she's evil. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
