"Centennial Charmed"


Description: "In his twisted attempt to win Phoebe's heart back, Cole casts a spell that alters reality, which eliminates Paige as a Halliwell and destroys the Power of Three. Meanwhile, Paige suddenly finds that her sisters have no knowledge of her existence, and that past villains have come back to haunt them."





Happy 100th episode Charmed Ones and Happy 100th Birthday Cole! Unfortunately, this will be Cole's last episode as a regular on the show. So this episode was Cole's last ditch effort to try and make things work with Phoebe, by completely surrendering himself over to the Avatars. I still can't believe he could have stooped so low and despite the fear of consequence, turned back time to before Piper and Phoebe knew about Paige. I don't think I realized at first until I watched this episode, but Paige was the best thing to ever happen to the Halliwell family after Prue died. She kept Piper and Phoebe going even when they had lost all hope of living at times. It was kind of sad to see how Piper turned out in the alternate reality, and it showed how bad her downward spiral after Prue died would have turned out if the Charmed Ones hadn't been reconstituted. It was kind of cool to see her so badass though, but at the cost it wasn't worth it. I couldn't believe that her and Leo had gotten divorced in the alternate reality, but it most likely had to do with her obsession over killing Shax. I thought it was hilarious how Piper's views about home birthing are the same in either reality. She's still the same person, just a little more mean and with a vendeta. I was glad to see that the love between Piper and Phoebe hadn't changed, even though Piper was on a demon killing spree and Phoebe was shacking up with demons left and right. My favorite quote in this episode is when Phoebe was yelling at Cole about how their life was and Phoebe said, "You know damn right the only reason I stayed with you was to make sure that the same thing that happened to Prue doesn't happen to Piper too!" That is so sweet and sad at the same time! It was funny to see Paige trying to get everybody to believe that she was their sister, and good thing she did convince them or she would have ended up in the loony bin. Speaking of good things, Paige was lucky she sneezed when she did or the Charmed Ones as we know them would no longer be existing in this normal reality. It was kind of cool to see all the demons that the Charmed Ones have vanquished since Paige came around, back. Such as the Seer, because even though she was evil, she probably qualifies as my favorite demon. I can't explain it, but her insight and knowledge, coupled with her thirst for power, is just so intriguing. This episode also marks Cole's downfall, because he didn't count on when they went to the alternate reality that he wouldn't be indestructible. You guys might find it hard to believe, but believe it because he's finally gone. I hate to say it, but I'm almost glad he's gone although I'll miss him immensely, but now the Charmed Ones, especially Phoebe, can fully move on with their lives without always cleaning up after Cole's messes. Don't worry, he will be gone for a long time, but he does occasionally make his face shown, although never again as a living person. Bye Cole, you go on the list of the forever missed! Happy 100th Holly, Brian, Dorian, Alyssa, and Rose! Keep these episodes coming because they are great, and without their greatness this blog wouldn't be possible. Here's to another 76 episodes! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!














Peace, Love, and Charmed
