"Love's A Witch"

Description: "While on a temp job, Paige meets an attractive male witch named Richard and wants to help end the magical feud between his and another magical family. After she refuses Piper and Phoebe's help, she winds up possessed by the vengeful spirit of Richard's deceased fiance. Meanwhile, Leo is suspicious when Chris travels to the Underworld in search of a potion."
The Halliwells came across a generation old family feud that is mirrored right out of the pages of Shakespeare. The feud had been lasting so long that no one could quite remember how it started at all in the first place, and two love birds were unfortunately caught in the middle. Although the families were constantly fighting, but at times some of them were unsure about where the loyalties exactly laid. Paige is driving me crazy with this wanting to be independent from her sisters and do stuff by herself. Once before she went through this kick and realized that she can't always push them away, but obviously she didn't learn her lesson because she's back. I agree that sometimes Piper and Phoebe can be a little overbearing because they want to make sure Paige won't get hurt, but sometimes they can do with a little backing off. Each sister is independent in her own way, but when you're the power of three there are very few times that you can handle demonic things on your own. In this case it was a ghost that was terrorizing the families though, and I'm still not quite sure what her real intentions were. I never understood whether she was trying to get revenge for her death or trying to get peace amongst the families because she was sending quite some mixed messages. I get that Olivia and Richard were always neutral in the feud, but if she was so neutral how come you would attack both houses. Olivia knew that sending out energy balls would make them angry and warant an attack back, and somehow I think that was her plan along. Olivia seemed kind of crazy also bringing Richard to that casket with her bones and everything, but I'm glad that in the end she realized she needed to move on and what she had set out to do had been acoomplished. Poor Phoebe is still trying to get a hold of her new power, but as much as she tries to control it the more worse it seems to get. It was smart of Chris to think of the potion to shield Piper and Paige from unwanted emotion readings, but as you might have guessed he had another secret reason for wanting to take the potion, and it's obvious that Leo is not going to get off his butt until he finds out what Chris is up to. Speaking of Leo, it was so sad to see him watching Piper date again, and I can't help having my heart break right along with his. I seriously think the writers of this show have it out for me, or at least Leo since both times him and Piper were going through a big breakup not only did she have to go and date again, but Leo was forced to stay around and watch! Not fair! "May the power of three set you free!" Keep reading and watching!
Peace, Love, and Charmed!
