179. Season 4 Episode 6: A Knight to Remember

Charmed had a seismic shift at the end of the third season when older sister Prue tragically died.

Thankfully the Power of Three was restored by the introduction of the Halliwell's long-lost half sister, Paige.

The series takes some time to settle into this change, and this episode clearly shows the challenges the series has behind the scenes.

The episode focuses on Paige's favourite (self-made) childhood fairy tale suddenly becoming real. This brings her face-to-face with her past life as an Evil Enchantress from Medieval times and into the arms of a knight in shining armor.

Phoebe and Piper go back in time to vanquish the Evil Enchantress and end up trapped in the Dark Ages, leaving Paige and Leo to rescue them.

At the same time, Piper and Phoebe have to periodically fight an electrical demon who is plaguing them, but they need the Power of Three spell to vanquish it. Piper and Phoebe put forward the idea to Paige that she should move into the manor with them.

Definitely one of Charmed's weaker episodes. Remembering that we can only go up from here.

Urgh. The wedding episode.

The Halliwell sisters gradually discover the strange events about the wedding, as Piper is catering the event. Alison and the sisters formulate a plan to stop the demonic wedding.

Grace helps Alison and the Halliwell sisters, resulting in the defeat of Jade and the reconciliation of Alison and Elliot.

171. Season 6 Episode 18: Spin City

Shoulda used bug spray!

Piper is kidnapped and cocooned by the Spider Demon, a creature that emerges every hundred years to feed off a powerful magical being.

During the attack, Chris is infected with the demon's venom, causing him to mutate into a spider demon himself. In need of desperate help, Paige calls Leo.

Now at this point of the season, the sisters finally know that Chris, the Whitelighter that's been helping them all season is infact Piper's son from the future. They decided to keep this from Leo until Phoebe randomly blurts it out in this episode.

While trying to save him, Chris attacks Leo and starts repeatedly punching Leo, yelling that Leo does not know him. Later, Leo finds Chris on the Golden Gate bridge and begs him to tell him why he hates him so much.

Chris replies that Leo was never there for him, but he was there for Piper, Wyatt, and half the world. Leo tells him that maybe he did not come back just to save Wyatt, but to save their relationship as well.

170. Season 7 Episode 2: The Bare Witch Project

Yup. Phoebe is naked on a horse.

Paige almost loses her fight to save Magic School when a bored student accidentally conjures Lady Godiva and Lord Dyson, a demonic land baron who feeds off repressed emotions.

Eventually, Paige has the student that first summoned Godiva send her back proving to the Elders that they should keep Magic School open. In turn, they make Paige the new Headmistress of Magic School.

And for some reason, Phoebe is naked on a horse much to the shock of the townspeople and special guest star Nick Lachey.

169. Season 6 Episode 19: Crimes and Witch-Demeanors

When Charmed has a clip show.

When Phoebe and Paige are caught on tape using their powers by SFPD Inspector Sheridan, the Cleaners – beings who prevent the exposure of magic – cover up the situation by implicating their friend, Detective Darryl Morris, as a murderer. In a huge time jump, they end up sending him to death row to cover up the exposure of magic.

The Halliwells fight to have the outcome reversed, initially summoning the Cleaners by deliberate acts that would expose magic if left unfixed. Their confrontation proves inconclusive, and they learn that their only recourse is to have a hearing in front of the mysterious Tribunal, which is a council that oversees all magic and made up of demons and Elders with Barbas (Billy Drago) empaneled as the prosecutor.

He turns the proceedings around on their head and puts the sisters on trial for recklessly abusing their powers.

Meanwhile, Leo and Chris work together to help free the sisters and Darryl, but the outcome leaves Phoebe stripped of her active powers as penance for occasional lapses in the past where she used magic to benefit herself.

168. Season 6 Episode 20: A Wrong Day's Journey Into Right

With Piper away at Magic School and Phoebe without her powers, an overworked Paige re-conjures "Mr. Right" for stress relief, but unknowingly releases his evil twin, a demon called Vincent who immediately hatches a plot to separate the sisters while sending assassins after witches.

This would have been fun if we hadn't of seen the sisters summon a "Mr. Right" for Piper earlier in the same season.

The final season premieres after the sisters are presumed dead by the outside world.

The sisters are in fact very much alive, but cast a spell so that their appearance is altered to the outside world, but not to those closest to them.

Paige even disguises herself as Janice Dickinson.

Though Phoebe and Piper begin to adapt to a magic-free life, Paige cannot escape her Whitelighter half, which continues to tell her that there is a new charge in the world that needs her.

There are also those who do not believe the Halliwells to be dead, and seek to prove it.
