"Happily Ever After"

Description: "An evil witch traps the Halliwell sisters in distorted versions of classic fairy tales, where Phoebe attends a ball as Cinderella and meets Prince Charming, Paige has a taste of Snow White's poisoned apple, and Piper encounters a big, bad wolf, as Little Red Riding Hood."





Did you ever think fairy tales were too unrealistic to be true? Well think again, because they became live and real at the Halliwell manor in this episode. Based on what the elders say, fairy tales are actually stories written about real life events. I thought it was ironic how Phoebe was turned into Cinderella, because it was her favorite fairy tale growing up. No wonder she thought Cole was behind the whole thing in the beginning of the episode, but really this isn't Cole's M.O. Have you noticed that every time Phoebe is trying to get rid of Cole, she keeps blaming him for every demonic attack that comes their way? I know he hurt Phoebe, but come on, isn't that a little drastic? This time I think Cole is honestly trying to be good, but Phoebe is just tired of it. She's seriously given him one too many chances and he keeps blowing it, whether it's his fault or not. Talk about paranoid, I know a magical pregnancy is new for Piper, but she's freaking about every little detail. So much to the point that Grams had to be summoned to help her figure out that she didn't need help to begin with. Speaking of summoning Grams, this baby is gaining more and more powers by the episode. First it's healing its Mommy's wounds, and now it's summoning the dead. "Corporeal none the less." Charmed reference! Time will only tell how powerful this baby is yet to become, and then he has to be born. This is not the last curve ball that's going to be thrown at Piper and Leo, so they might as well get used to it. It was great to see Grams back on the show regardless, and it was great to see her trying to form a relationship with Paige. It might have been rocky in the beginning, but it looks like now the two of them are going to be alright. Grams even got Paige to call her Grams at the end of the episode, but that's just the effect Grams has on people. I thought it was hilarious when Grams got eaten by the wolf, and then it took them so long to figure out it wasn't the real Grams. My favorite quote out of the episode is when of the Seven "little people" whispered to another, "Do you think she knows that's the wolf?" And the other "little person" said, "Naw, not our business." It was amusing to see what modern-day versions of the fairy tales looked like, but especially the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I've always wondered what Grump, Sleepy, and Dopey looked like in real life, and I guess now we know. In the end, Piper blew up the wolf from the inside when he swallowed her, she went into the storybook and vanquished the evil witch, saving Phoebe and Paige while doing so, Phoebe learned that not all guys were bad, and the new keeper of the fairytales was instated. "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!















Peace, Love, and Charmed!
