ES: I’ll admit I’m a bit embarrassed that I’m not starting this “Happy 14th Month-Day, Team Charmed Café!” thread on the 22nd rather than the 14th, but I noticed that PVille was almost done with her reading and reviewing of EC’s S3, so I decided to wait until she was done.
AND NOW SHE IS, SO HERE YOU GO!
I hope you guys – especially Sasha, Prudence and Summer – enjoy them as much as I do!!
PVILLE SAID: Couldn't help myself but want to read the first episode of Season 3.
PVILLE SAID: A holiday themed episode.
PVILLE SAID: Could not be more excited for 4th of July. What a fantastic way to open Season 3. After last season’s end with a big arc, I'm happy with the next season opening this way.
I also love that we get some wonderful Salem 4th of July events and culture, and Prudence and Piper again working together during the event.
PVILLE SAID: Nice to learn a little bit of her childhood.
PVILLE SAID: Oh no!
PVILLE SAID: Smart idea, and I'm scared. This Heather sounds like trouble.
PVILLE SAID: Sorry, Paige, I know how upset you'd be, but safety first.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: What a twist!
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: OMG! This made me so nervous. But smiling and expecting of course they will, and enjoy the fireworks at the end of the episode. I feel so bad for Heather and, of course, Patience.
PVILLE SAID: Great opening episode, Sasha. I love the 4th of July theme.
PVILLE SAID: This title looks interesting. Do I predict a time-travel episode to the 20s? If so, YAY!
PVILLE SAID: I do love that we are still in the summer. Always bums me out that shows always skip past summer. Not every show has to line up with real-time - it can time jump later. I just love summer stories.
I love that Phoebe is interning for a local Salem newspaper.
PVILLE SAID: I love this, and it so would help her after college. GO FOR IT, PHOEBE!
PVILLE SAID: And, we're off to a fantastic story, and here we go, them going into the 20s. Oh, I can't wait to thank the author, because it is so much fun already.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: I love them preparing their weekly dinner, with some continuity and them being worried.
I love that Prudence never sees the past, but this time she did.PVILLE SAID: I very much enjoyed this episode, Summer Reading.
PVILLE SAID: The Demoness of the Lake. I also love that Phoebe is on her summer break, and it is nearly summered over.
OMG, she lost an innocent.
PVILLE SAID: I love them needing to fix a window from a previous warlock attack.
PVILLE SAID: Matthew, I remember him from the foodie event from Season 1. Prudence has a right to be suspicious.
PVILLE SAID: Poor Matthew.
PVILLE SAID: I love it! Element power is key again.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: Sasha, another great episode. I love it!
PVILLE SAID: I like the title and a Piper centric one.
PVILLE SAID: I won't be too sure, Piper. Two Pipers may seem perfect, but it might come with some consequences.
PVILLE SAID: A nice fun standalone. Thanks, Piper Wyatt!
PVILLE SAID: Yet again, another fun title, and so creative. Makes me wonder what our innocents will be doing.
PVILLE SAID: This Demoness sounds so fun, causing so much chaos in Salem, and I love it.
PVILLE SAID: I love the spiritual points in Salem, and all five points and that it will strength their powers, and also glad we don't have a Nexus or portal under the Warren manor. This is more fun.
PVILLE SAID: I was really entertained by this episode. I really liked this Demoness.
PVILLE SAID: I do love a carnival. This one looks exciting.
PVILLE SAID: Camping, how fun. Love that Prudence is a doctor, so she can treat her. I do wonder what this strange hole in the ground might be, sounds important to the story.
PVILLE SAID: Yep, Piper. You awakened it by accident, I'm sure.
PVILLE SAID: Boggart, I'll assume this is based on some real myth. I'm enjoying it. And I was right, the hole that Piper tripped over awakened it.
PVILLE SAID: I love that an innocent is in need, and this Boggart is trying to outsmart them.
PVILLE SAID: A nod to the Wizard of Oz - that's all I think when I see this title.
PVILLE SAID: You have made me think something happens to the Warrens with a spell, and friendships tested.
PVILLE SAID: Nice to learn about their friends when they lived in San Francisco I'm so glad they accept.
PVILLE SAID: I love that she does that. I guess this is our tested friendship. I just picked up, Monica is back, she was last seen in the episode with the shapeshifter, when Piper attending her high school reunion back in San Francisco.
PVILLE SAID: I can't help but hear the Wicked Witch music from the Wizard of Oz playing in my head when picturing Piper and Phoebe flying in the sky on their broomsticks. If Pheebs did a Deadline article for this, I'd so expect our stars talking about it, and maybe putting on green makeup for their skin.
Oh, I love this episode!
PVILLE SAID: Really enjoyed this episode, Sasha!
PVILLE SAID: Haven't forgotten about EC, of course, holidays have kept me busy. But couldn't resist reading another now.
PVILLE SAID: I love the title.
PVILLE SAID: I can imagine her studies have given her some pressure. Especially if she has a couple more years until she graduates.
I'm sure there’s either a demonic reason behind it, or a magical one.
PVILLE SAID: OMG! And still nothing to investigate, so now I wonder if it is natural. We'll see.
PVILLE SAID: Still nothing. Hmm.
PVILLE SAID: And she'd sure know if it was real. I love that they thought it could be.
PVILLE SAID: Good idea, guys. Let’s see if that works.
PVILLE SAID: Piper and Phoebe sleep with no drama, huh? I don't know about that.
PVILLE SAID: I really love this story, so cool. What a way to bring back Victor. Yet again without his ghost. He has been recurring often in fun and creative ways, brought back without having to summon his ghost.
PVILLE SAID: Love the Dream Walkers. So fun and they are quite scary too.
PVILLE SAID: I'm so glad someone stays behind to work on a potion.
PVILLE SAID: I really love this episode, Sasha. So much fun. I loved every twist and turn making me guess.
PVILLE SAID: And another cool title. So catchy.
PVILLE SAID: Sad an innocent died, but this strange hooded being, of course, is our villain of the week.
This has me thinking about the fires burning in Australia, I read about online. And the firefighters doing everything they can for them. And also read about floods In Indonesian on New Year’s Day. Climate Change is very real, but I won't get into debates on that. Just this story made me think of the fires burning in Australia.
PVILLE SAID: And I love that again we have another fun way to let the elemental powers be key. I have to say, I love to bits that certain elemental powers can only let that Warren see things.
I sure wish Charmed did the same with not being able to see certain creatures. The mystery is more exciting.
PVILLE SAID: Love all the research, and how they are checking stuff out. I'm betting the author of this story researched this, and these are all real locations, and this could have really happened in America. If so, we'll done making it real history.
It reminds me of Phoebe in the earlier seasons researching on her laptop – much better than when Leo just spoon feeds the answers to them. Got very boring. Because it felt more sisterly-centric when they do the research themselves.
PVILLE SAID: Very good story. And your creatures are written with how I wished Charmed did them.
PVILLE SAID: Sasha, another great episode from you. Very interesting story.
PVILLE SAID: A Valentine’s Day episode. I'm so excited! Now EC has ticked all major holidays off.
PVILLE SAID: I don't blame them.
PVILLE SAID: NICE TO see Piper find love, although I like how in EC it isn't a huge part of the show like canon Charmed or even the reboot.
So glad they can put that aside for more important stuff.
PVILLE SAID: So sweet of them if they can't find happiness, then they can make sure Piper dos. Love you, ladies.
PVILLE SAID: I love this subplot with them. Who is this woman? Very interested.
PVILLE SAID: What a great story, and lets Prudence remember Allen. I really liked it.
PVILLE SAID: I like that it isn't without another mess for the EC witches to take care of, but it still lets it be a Valentine’s Day episode. And not take over, like the Christmas episode, being so Christmas-themed. Can't say the same about some shows…
PVILLE SAID: Really good one, Pheebs. I love that Piper can help from experience, and that she and Matthew make a very good decision on their relationship, but I'll wonder if he'll ever return. Maybe, we'll see.
PVILLE SAID: Yes, who is using the spirit board.
PVILLE SAID: Who is the imposter? I'm already wondering and interested.
And yet, another one of Prudence's lovely charity events, with Piper catering.
She's an imposter, wow, thank you, spirit board, I'm hoping the ancestors are warning them, but what does it mean?
PVILLE SAID: Who are they?
PVILLE SAID: Good idea, Warrens, get to the bottom of this.
PVILLE SAID: And, I'm sure I'd love seeing what questions they'd ask.
Phoebe with Peyton. What???
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: I wonder where they are going.
PVILLE SAID: EC's version of ‘That Seventies Episode’. I'm really loving this. And we get to meet Peyton. Can't wait.
PVILLE SAID: Another good start to a story-arc, Prudence. [/quote]
PVILLE SAID: This sure would be hard for Paige, who lost Peyton. Poor thing.
PVILLE SAID: I can imagine she'd do that, since they need to stop the warlocks and save Piper and Phoebe.
PVILLE SAID: I find this cool, very interesting it repels good witches. I love that it goes back to Andrea and the coven days.
We also learn how Prudence meet Andrea. I sure hope, we learn about Bridget. I love the name because Bridget reminds me of my favorite teacher in high school.
PVILLE SAID: Good idea, contact her, or at least Andrea. Nice to see Andrea again, I don't think we've seen her since the 4th of July episode. But love how she is used, and not taking over the series as a recurring character.
PVILLE SAID: Very good idea. I thought this would just be a one-time travel period, but now I get to meet the coven days. I feel so spoiled.
PVILLE SAID: Prudence and Andrea, good idea, guys, staying behind to work on a way to help Piper and Phoebe.
PVILLE SAID: I'm sure they can't resist meeting their cousin.
I love this scene, a nice little nod to 70s when Grams did it. Of course, it isn't the same because Patience does it and not Prudence.
Oh no, the warlock saw them!
PVILLE SAID: OMG! Bombshell. I never saw that coming. The one who killed Prudence's husband. This is them, and now they want to go father back in time to make sure they never meet, and wipe the EC's off the map! I never saw that coming!
This is a great cliffhanger. I'd be screaming, watching it.
PVILLE SAID: I enjoyed part two of the arc. [/quote]
PVILLE SAID: Love the title, perfect nod to ‘That 70s Episode’.
PVILLE SAID: WHAT A TAGLINE! YAY! SO EXCITED FOR THAT!
You two better be careful, but I'm nervous that something bad will happen.
PVILLE SAID: Good idea, you can't use a credit card that won't be valid for another two decades.
Sam is here. Oh, oh, this can't be good.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: Really love learning all about Peyton and Sam. I'm so interested after all the teases that gave us such a build-up for a few seasons
PVILLE SAID: Now, I'm thinking of Canon Grams grilling them to I.D. them.
PVILLE SAID: And I love learning why they don't remember this in the present when Piper and Phoebe from the future visited the past.
PVILLE SAID: I'm sure seeing their father would make them sad.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: Sorry, I'm just in shock, with how exciting it is.
PVILE SAID: So glad they were able to do that for Peyton.
PVILLE SAID: WHAT??? OMG!! WHAT A CLIFFHANGER! Oh man, Peyton is scary!
PVILLE SAID: Prudence Halliwell, really liking this. So much drama, and such good cliffhangers.
I'd read more but time for bed.
PVILLE SAID: This title already makes me think that something big will happen to change the timeline.
PVILLE SAID: That tagline really has me worried about who might die. Looks like a big episode.
PVILLE SAID: OMG! I got so worried Little Piper was going to die, especially wondering if she'd die and change history forever!
PVILLE SAID: Yep, be too easy if they could do that, she is much too powerful.
PVILLE SAID: Good thinking, she needs a stronger dose of that potion with the chocolate.
And of course, Sam is back, which again leaves me on the edge of my seat. What has Sam got planned?
PVILLE SAID: OMG, Little Piper better watch out! This is so exciting though to read! What is going to happen?
PVILLE SAID: Little Piper isn't so easily fooled.
PVILLE SAID: Hurry, guys, this is not going to end well. I can feel it.
PVILLE SAID: This is so shocking! What a big twist, and heartbreaking!
PVILLE SAID: Yes, I agree, it may only make matters worse, and it's bad enough what is happening here.
PVILLE SAID: Smart, Charlotte, but really kept me on the edge of my seat here. Good job tagging along to the 60s, you two.
PVILLE SAID: OMG! Bridget is dead!
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: This really was a huge cliffhanger, actually, this could be a great season-finale cliffhanger with Bridget dead and the timeline changed. Imagine watching it, and waiting all summer wondering what will happen.
PVILLE SAID: I really liked this one - so much drama, and so exciting! I loved seeing the reset reality, and the changes, also learning how Little Peyton died.
PVILLE SAID: And I already guess that this one is focused more on the 60s, I wonder if Piper and Phoebe join the others in the 60s.
PVILLE SAID: This is so suspenseful, but at the same time, I'm loving every minute of it, because you have no idea what is going to happen.
PVILLE SAID: I guessed right they'd join them here. So happy they are reunited, but they don't have a future to go back to. But I'm finding the changes exciting to see what is going to happen.
PVILLE SAID: Go save your family and future.
PVILLE SAID: Yes, agreed, as long as they don't interact with more family, they should be okay.
Yes, that artifact is the key. But Patience is right. It is risky, but I think everyone is in shock and worried about what might happen next.
PVILLE SAID: WOW!
PVILLE SAID: The changes in the present are bad, and she stripped her powers.
PVILLE SAID: Good idea. I sure hope this will help them.
LOL, you'll have to walk just like the rest of them, Paige.
PVILLE SAID: This is bad. I'm sure Paige would almost be in shock seeing that. They have so much at stake now.
PVILLE SAID: Another good episode, Prudence.
PVILLE SAID: I love this title. So fitting given what Prudence is about to do.
PVILLE SAID: Too late, Paige, although I'm sure she'd be scared as anything.
PVILLE SAID: Like that they realize the potions have lost its potency, and they'll need to get more from the attic.
PVILLE SAID: Saved by the bell. Too late, Melinda is here, and Charlotte. Here we go, excited to see what drama awaits me reading.
PVILLE SAID: A trap. Can't be good.
PVILLE SAID: Oh, no, Past Prudence! Don’t do it!
PVILLE SAID: Good plan.
PVILLE SAID: So intense!
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: OMG! That is even more terrifying that she sees that future. Now for sure, she'll believe the Warlocks.
PVILLE SAID: Yes, has her agreeing for now.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: Great cliffhanger!
PVILLE SAID: Sure fits. This really is all about that the title.
PVILLE SAID: Hurry!!!
PVILLE SAID: Good idea, not telling them much about the changes about to happen but just to hurry.
PVILLE SAID: I'm so glad they got here. But still not safe yet.
PVILLE SAID: Knew it, too soon for a win.
PVILLE SAID: Such a good moment, they see things okay. Time to go home now.
PVILLE SAID: YAY! Future is saved.
PVILLE SAID: I'm glad. I hope Prudence has good news.
PVILLE SAID: I'm with Prudence, better she doesn't stay for too long. I hope this works.
PVILLE SAID: Oh no!
PVILLE SAID: I'm so glad they at least got one of them. Who is this woman with dark hair?
PVILLE SAID: OMG, so close! But something is off when she came back with the young man.
PVILLE SAID: I'm sure this would make her sad, but she'll be proud of what they did.
PVILLE SAID: OMG! So that is what the spirit board meant! I'm so glad it came full circle from the first episode in the arc!
PVILLE SAID: OMG! Who is it???
PVILLE SAID: What a cliffhanger. Who is the imposter?
PVILLE SAID: Reading two in a row I can't wait after that cliffhanger.
PVILLE SAID: Interesting title.
PVILLE SAID: OMG! Never thought that.
PVILLE SAID: Wow, this is an exciting! I never would have predicted that!
PVILLE SAID: I like this, she can hopefully get home now.
PVILLE SAID: That is a safe idea.
PVILLE SAID: I love thinking of Shannen playing her.
PVILLE SAID: And they saved Beatrice, and now Jenna meets her fate.
PVILLE SAID: They deserve a trip after all that.
PVILLE SAID: WOW! Very interesting. I like that whatever this is, affects both warlocks and witches. And you guys are great at coming up with more excitement with plots than the reboot. More twists and turns.
PVILLE SAID: And you continue to keep me guessing. I should have figured, since this isn't the finale of S2. One arc and problem down, and another coming. [/quote]
PVILLE SAID: This already got me excited, with the tease in last episodes cliffhanger.
PVILLE SAID: Love them continuing their lives as normal, before trouble comes as usual.
PVILLE SAID: And from last episode cliffhanger, something happened to them also. This is really exciting.
PVILLE SAID: Love them wondering if they are faking it at first.
OMG, what is happening to Patience and Paige?
PVILLE SAID: I love the sound of Wither Pox. Something very original, and it has real stakes for everyone. This really is promising as an arc!
PVILLE SAID: I love them making an alliance because this Wither Pox virus affects both good and evil. This really is exciting me as a story!
PVILLE SAID: I agree, they shouldn't be trusted, but what choice do they have? Very good set-up for the finale.
PVILLE SAID: Summer, your story is off to a great start. Very promising, because it is something never done before. I love this Wither Pox arc already.
PVILLE SAID: Of course, they won’t trust them. At least they'll be able to find a cure which won't be easy, I bet.
PVILLE SAID: Good thing Prudence can do that for them.
PVILLE SAID: Demoness of Destruction, she sounds scary, but interesting. Reminds me of what Shax was. He felt like the Demon of Destruction.
I love how they have to go to an island off Florida to find answers to the Wither Pox virus, making this exciting for them to travel outside of Salem, which has happened a few times already.
I bet the Demoness will not go down without a fight, and she won't be easy for telling them answers.
PVILLE SAID: That makes sense, but I'm worried for Phoebe going alone now.
PVILLE SAID: I love all the stakes of this Wither Pox, so exciting.
PVILLE SAID: Why am I not surprised? I had a feeling Phoebe was in danger. Oh no, that is horrible, but not unexpected. But I love this drama, so exciting. This is turning out to be a wonderful original story for EC. So much edge of your seat moments already.
PVILLE SAID:
PVILLE SAID: OMG! What a cliffhanger!
PVILE SAID: What a great cliffhanger to S3! This was so cool. I love the Wither Pox arc. So exciting and feels like a really exciting arc that has consequences for all witches. I'd never see the reboot do something as original and exciting as this with a story that affects all witches everywhere.
And that's a wrap with S3. WOW!
AND NOW SHE IS, SO HERE YOU GO!
I hope you guys – especially Sasha, Prudence and Summer – enjoy them as much as I do!!
PVILLE SAID: Couldn't help myself but want to read the first episode of Season 3.
SEASON THREE
ELEMENTAL CHARMED (TV-14, DLV) (HDTV)
Season 3, Episode 1: ”Halliwell Holiday”
Season 3, Episode 1: ”Halliwell Holiday”
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, WARRENS? - The Warrens are in the midst of enjoying 4th of July festivities. One of the best Independence Day Fireworks festivities on the North Shore will be happening at Salem Maritime National Historic Site on Derby Wharf. As usual, Prudence is volunteering for one of her not-for-profit organizations with supplying free coffee with the Salem Common Neighborhood Association and Piper is catering at one of the food tents.
I also love that we get some wonderful Salem 4th of July events and culture, and Prudence and Piper again working together during the event.
As Patience, Paige and Phoebe walk around, enjoying the festivities, Patience runs into someone who recognizes her immediately but Patience has no clue who she is. The woman, who says her name is Heather, mentions they knew each other back when they were 12 years old, and now Patience remembers her.
When she leaves, she tells her sister and daughter that Heather's parents died on the 4th of July when she was 12, and she went mad following their deaths and was put into a psychiatric ward. They're now worried, wondering why she's out free.
Later, Prudence has a premonition of Heather killing Patience right during the 4th of July fireworks. She finds the others and tells them. They decide that the best way to keep Patience safe is to not go to the fireworks.
Paige, who loves the fireworks, is disappointed, so the others agree that she can go since it was Patience who Prudence saw killed, and Piper decides to go with her aunt. The others decide to go home to keep Patience safe, and Paige transports them back.
What the Warrens don't know is that Heather's mother, Lillian, was a witch, but she hated the thought of being stuck in a loveless marriage, and when her husband was accidentally killed, forcing her to raise a daughter alone, one who she isn't proud of.
Since she feels her daughter is wasting her life, when she herself realized that she was also dying, Lillian cast a spell that let her take control of Heather's body, so she could have a second chance at life, leaving Heather's spirit to go onto the afterlife.
But no matter what Lillian did, the Warrens always seemed to do it better. She’d gone to school with Patience and just didn’t think it fair that Patience got to be one of the Elemental Witches with an entire family who loved her while she didn’t. Lillian’s gone madder and madder as the years went on, even as her jealousy of Patience grew. Now Lillian has figured out how to use her powers as a witch to escape the asylum and get her revenge on Patience.
Heather’s spirit has figured out what her mother is up to and on this 4th of July, the anniversary of her parents’ death and her mother’s takeover of her body, Heather's spirit managed to possess her own body just long enough to warn Patience. She knows her mother has realized that as an Elemental Witch, the only way Lillian will be able to not only take over Patience’s body, but to actually be Patience and have Patience’s powers is to kill her.

Season 3, Episode 2: ”The Roaring Twenties Over and Over and Over Again!”
AN ANTIQUE CAMERA, AN EVERLASTING TIME LOOP AND A MYSTERY IN THE 1920s — During the summer, Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper.
I love that Phoebe is interning for a local Salem newspaper.
On the first day of her last week before she returns to school, her editor offers her a challenge: if she comes up with a killer article before the end of the week, she'll put it on the cover. Phoebe knows that putting a cover on her resume would work wonders when she goes job-hunting after she earns her degree in a few years, besides ensuring her another chance at interning the following summer.
She decides to do her article on the history of Salem – the good parts of Salem rather than the witch trials that most Americans know about. She even begs her mother for the use one of her old antique cameras to capture the style of an old-time photo to go along with her article. Patience doesn’t want anyone but her to use the camera but agrees to help her daughter by taking the pictures herself. But when Phoebe directs her to take a photo in downtown Salem and Patience snaps the shuttle, both Patience and Phoebe literally disappear into thin air, leaving behind the camera.
When they find themselves taking a similar picture, except back in the 1920’s, suddenly they find themselves back in the 2020’s, unable to prevent themselves from doing this yet again. They realize that they are stuck in an everlasting time loop with no way of stopping it.
Elsewhere, as the family prepares to enjoy their weekly family dinner at Piper’s restaurant, Prudence, Paige and Piper become worried when Patience and Phoebe do not show up. The three Warrens eventually find the camera, and when Prudence touches the camera, she gets a premonition of the past, which shows Patience and Phoebe in the 20s. Realizing that Prudence never sees the past, but only the future, they realize that Patience and Phoebe are caught in an everlasting time loop. This is especially true when Patience and Phoebe suddenly return, take the picture and then disappear.
I love that Prudence never sees the past, but this time she did.
The other three Warrens hurry home, heading straight to their family book of shadows for both answers. They find a way to break the everlasting loop which will let them rescue Patience and Phoebe, but it can only be done by making Patience and Phoebe stay and experience the Roaring 20’s past midnight, and that can only happen if they can get the camera away from Patience so she can’t take a picture in the past. Only then will they be returned to their own time and be able to stay. But the only Warren who can freeze molecules is Phoebe…

Season 3, Episode 3: ”Just Add Water”
THE LEGEND OF THE DEMONESS OF THE LAKE — While on summer break in Boston, which is nearly over, Phoebe is badly injured trying to rescue a small boy from the ocean who drowns.
OMG, she lost an innocent.
Back in Salem, Paige calls a repairman to fix a window from a previous warlock attack, and when Paige finds out about Phoebe, she leave Piper to wait for the repairman, while she teleports Patience to Boston.
When the repairman arrives, Piper is surprised to find that it’s Matthew, the man they helped save from a Banshee last year. But Prudence gets suspicious and thinks it’s no coincidence he so happens to run into Piper now.
But when he tells them that he lost his job and is trying to make ends meet with this repairman job, Piper believes him.
Later when Patience and Paige rush to the hospital in Boston and Phoebe tells them, Patience recalls the legend of the Demoness of the Lake. Patience thinks that Piper's Elemental Power of Water might be important in helping them stop the demoness.
She’s right. The Demoness of the Lake now has connection to Piper through the Water Element, and when Prudence looks into Piper’s room the next morning so they can go visit Phoebe, her room is empty. Prudence calls Paige, and Paige transports herself, her sister and her niece back to Salem so they can try to find Piper.
When they find Piper, they find that the Demoness of the Lake now has total control of Piper, and that the only way to let Piper have control of her own body again is for Piper to channel her own Water Element.
Will Piper gain control of her body? Can the other Warrens save her and vanquish the Demoness of the Lake? Is Prudence right in suspecting Matthew?

Season 3, Episode 4: ”Piper versus Piper”
ARE TWO PIPERS BETTER THAN ONE? — Piper is thinking about opening a new restaurant at the same time she's having troubles with two of her employees. Too much work and no time for relaxing has made Piper a major stress case. When a seemingly harmless wish comes true - creating two Pipers - it looks like the problem's solved. Two Pipers can do twice as much work, leaving one Piper to plan her new restaurant, leaving the other Piper to finally have time to relax. While one Piper's home baking and relaxing, the other can start handling her two employees. It appears that having two Pipers is too perfect.
Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear that two Pipers aren't always better than one. When a warlock kidnaps Patience and holds her hostage in exchange for the Elemental Witches' powers, the Piper busy with the restaurant insists that she doesn't have time to worry about her mother, while the Piper at home doesn't have any powers. The other Warrens scramble to find a reversal spell, but without Patience's help, and with Piper split in two, will they be forced to give up their powers?

As Phoebe begins a new school year at Salem University, one of her new teachers makes Phoebe feel strange when she's around her.

But lately, people in the campus seem to be getting awfully close to the new teacher and then start acting very strange.
Season 3, Episode 5: ”The Evil that Innocents Do”
As Phoebe begins a new school year at Salem University, one of her new teachers makes Phoebe feel strange when she's around her. Phoebe can't sense anything unusual about the teacher and wonders if she's losing her mind and just stressed. But lately, people in the campus seem to be getting awfully close to the new teacher and then start acting very strange.
When Phoebe returns home, Prudence reveals she had an odd encounter with a new volunteer in Old Salem. Deciding there's no such thing as coincidences, they check their family book of shadows and figure out that the Demoness of Cruelty is behind it. For the first time ever, they are faced with a demoness who isn't alone but is working with another demoness, but not just one - she's actually cloned herself twice so there are three Demonesses of Cruelty, each one infecting a different area of Salem with cruelty. If the Elemental Witches can figure out which one is the real demoness and vanquish her, then the clones will vanish.
But the town is now so infected with the heart of evil that everyone in the town is out of control. This leaves the Warren family out of options, until Prudence looks in the family book of shadows and learns they might be able to perform a ritual that will require each of them to go to a specific spiritual point in Salem and control one of the five Spiritual points through Salem to strengthen their powers: Phoebe a lake near Old Salem, Patience in the local forests of Salem, Paige in the Eola Hills in Salem and Piper near a small Salem stream that still has gold dust in it. Since Prudence controls the spiritual Element that connects them all, she will be the one to perform the ritual at the Manor, which sits in the heart of Salem. The ritual will be enough to vanquish the Demonesses of Cruelty, which would also vanquish the clones and cleanse the town.
But the Demoness conjures two more clones and when Patience, Paige, Piper and Phoebe each reach their location, a clone is meeting them, while the Demoness shows up in the attic with Prudence.

Season 3, Episode 8: ”The Two Wicked Witches of Salem”
AN ANNOUNCEMENT, TESTED FRIENDSHIPS, AND WICKED WITCHES —
Piper and Phoebe are very happy to reunite with Monica, a childhood friend whom they grew up with in San Francisco. She’s in Salem because she wants to tell them in person: she is getting married next month in San Francisco and wants them both to be bridesmaids. She then introduces them to Julie, her soon-to-be wife, and Julie’s sister, Susan, who is going to be Julie’s maid of honor. The two Warrens immediately like Julie and Susan, so they are thrilled to accept the honor.
But later when Julie is at Piper’s restaurant and catches her using magic, she immediately reports this to Monica, twisting what she saw to make Monica think that the Warrens are warlocks and have just pretended to be good.
Later even as Monica confronts Piper and Phoebe about Julie telling her what she saw, Susan casts a spell on Piper and Phoebe which transforms them into the clichéd wicked witches typical of popular fantasy novels and films.
Oh, I love this episode!
Now it’s up to Prudence, Patience and Paige to turn Phoebe and Piper back into regular good witches, and convince Monica of Julie and Susan’s true identities and intentions before Monica says "I do" to Ms. Wrong.

Season 3, Episode 9: ”Dream a Little Dream”
Season 3, Episode 9: ”Dream a Little Dream”
PVILLE SAID: I love the title.
WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT'S MAKE BELIEVE? — Feeling lots of pressure lately, Phoebe finds herself having trouble sleeping. Although her family is convinced she is just stressed, when Piper experiences the same problems, they realize that it might be something more.
I'm sure there’s either a demonic reason behind it, or a magical one.
The next night, Paige is up late, working late on a case for SSS, when she hears Piper and Phoebe screaming in their sleep. Waking up her mother and sister, they investigate and see nothing.
The next morning, the five Warrens are convinced something is preying on Phoebe and Piper, so they look through the family book of shadows, but find no answers.
Jokingly, Paige suggests it could be a Night Hag, which is just a term used for sleep paralysis, since people with sleep paralysis often have hallucinations that they are being attacked. Laughing, Piper wonders if maybe this Night Hag is a real being, but Prudence insists that if someone like that existed, she's be in the family book of shadows. Besides, she's never heard any reports on such a thing from the witch community.
Patience also recalls Paige dealing with the Shadow Man as a child, as the closest thing, but they vanquished it two years ago. So Piper puts together her strongest potion which she drenches her and Phoebe's pillows with while Phoebe writes a strong protection spell, which the five Warrens cast around Piper and Phoebe's bed. They then go to bed, hoping that whatever was after them will be held at bay.
The following night, Piper and Phoebe sleep soundly with no drama.
But the following morning, the two awaken to be greeted by their father, Victor, who tells them he is very pleased they are finally awake. The two are in shock and hug Victor, wondering why he isn't a ghost, and suddenly wonder if he is a demon or shapeshifter. When they try to cast a spell to find out, Victor insists that witches are not real. He also explains that Prudence, Patience, and Paige were killed when the girls were very young, the reason they have been living with him in San Francisco rather than Salem.
Back in reality, Prudence, Patience and Paige are unable to wake up Piper and Phoebe. Fearing the worst, they wonder if the protection spell and potion only allowed whatever was after them to control them. Now that they have a better idea of what's up, they look in the family book of shadows again and find a warlock with the ability of dream-walking who is behind it all. Dream Walkers are able to enter the dreams of others and travel between realities and create fake realities but first, the victims must accept that the fake reality is real. Now the Warrens wonder if Piper and Phoebe have actually been transported to a different reality and they only think they can see their sleeping bodies.
Prudence figures her Spirit Element might allow her to travel into this dream reality where she can talk Piper and Phoebe into believing that the dream reality isn't real, so they'll to wake up, but Patience and Paige don't want her to go alone. Paige agrees to stay behind and work on a potion that will vanquish the warlock.
Back in the fake reality world, Piper and Phoebe are at odds with what Victor is telling them, with Piper believing it to be true and the Phoebe refusing to believe. But then Prudence and Patience arrive. Phoebe is happy to see her mother and aunt, but Piper is so far gone she's convinced that it's Patience and Paige who aren't real. Prudence tells her that it's Victor who isn't real - that he's the Demoness of Illusion who shape-shifted to look like their father, but Piper refuses to believe her.
Meanwhile Paige has the potion ready, but will she be able to find a way to get into the fake reality herself and will vanquishing the Demoness convince Piper that this world is fake?

Season 3, Episode 11: ”Do Not Awaken the Slumbering Salamanders”
FIRE AND BRIMSTONE — A loud noise interrupts the Warrens’ lunch at Piper's restaurant, and Piper can sense lots of fire. A heroic firefighter loses her life attempting to save the victims of a two-story building fire a block away from Piper's restaurant. Piper notices a strange hooded being standing within the fire, who disappears when it catches her looking.
This has me thinking about the fires burning in Australia, I read about online. And the firefighters doing everything they can for them. And also read about floods In Indonesian on New Year’s Day. Climate Change is very real, but I won't get into debates on that. Just this story made me think of the fires burning in Australia.
The next day, another fire breaks out downtown. Piper again notices the strange figure, and then points it out to Phoebe, but Phoebe sees nothing. They return home, and Piper tells her family her strange tale. Prudence knows that thanks to her elemental of fire, Piper can sense or see something that has to do with fire that none of the others can. Patience reminds them about the nymphs who were also elemental witches who were able to see things that nobody else can.
I sure wish Charmed did the same with not being able to see certain creatures. The mystery is more exciting.
They head to the family book of shadows and find the page on salamanders: Fire Elementals living in volcanoes. Dormant volcanoes indicate contented, slumbering salamanders. But when the salamanders’ wrath erupt, so do volcanos – and fires. They are invisible to all, except other Fire Elemental, like Piper, which means that Piper is the only one who can help banish one. Phoebe disappears into her laptop to research volcanoes, finding that the only known one that erupted in America in the past decade is Mount St. Helens located in Skamania County, Washington, in 2008. The Warrens guess that the salamander in that volcano has been causing terror across the nation over the past decade and has finally reached Salem.
It reminds me of Phoebe in the earlier seasons researching on her laptop – much better than when Leo just spoon feeds the answers to them. Got very boring. Because it felt more sisterly-centric when they do the research themselves.
Since Piper is the only one who can see the salamander, she will be key to vanquishing it. But the salamander knows this and starts a fire in Piper's restaurant. When she passes out from the heat how will the other Warrens be able to save her and vanquish the salamander? Will Piper’s Water Element be key?

Season 3, Episode 12: ”A Very Warren Valentine”
Season 3, Episode 12: ”A Very Warren Valentine”
A SPECIAL VALENTINE'S DAY EPISODE — It's that time of year when boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives all go that extra length to do something nice for their special someone. Both Phoebe and Paige are without dates, although Paige just isn't in the mood this year, especially given her track record with men, and her recent. She's busy working on an SSS case and doesn't want to be interrupted.
Then the day before Valentine's Day, there's a massive crisis at Piper's old restaurant and because she's busy organizing a Valentine's Day event at her Salem restaurant and she's also two staff members down, she has to send her boyfriend Matthew Tate to San Francisco to try to fix the problem. She's very bummed that she won't be able to spend their first Valentine's Day as boyfriend/girlfriend together, but she knows this is more important and as he tells her, there will be plenty of Valentine's Days in their future.
So glad they can put that aside for more important stuff.
But both Phoebe and Paige decide that if neither of them can find happiness with a guy this year, they want at least one Warren to have a special day. So Paige transports Phoebe to San Francisco and it's she who helps solve the problems there, while Paige transports Matthew back to Salem.
Meanwhile, Prudence and Patience visit the cemetery, wanting to be closer to Allen and Victor on this special day. But as they arrive, they find another woman placing flowers on Allen's grave. Deciding not to rush over, they over-hear the woman talk about coming to the grave at least once a year for being so very important to her.
This shocks and worries Prudence - Allen had a life she never knew about and that he never told her about? Patience can't stand seeing her mother so upset, so she takes her by the hand and marches her over to the grave and in a very un-Patience-like manner, she tells this woman exactly who Prudence is - she even points out the fact that there are two names on that gravestone, and the one with only a birthdate is Prudence Warren. That's when the woman smiles and tells them not to be concerned - it was always Prudence who Allen loved, but one night at a bar, he helped convince her to not give up on love to her now-deceased husband, and she, in turn, helped convince Allen that he shouldn't let go of Prudence despite her premonitions of becoming the matriarch of the Elemental Witches and all the dangers that would ensue.
But nothing comes without another matter needing the Elemental Witches' help. No sooner does Prudence hug this woman to thank her while Patience apologizes than Prudence is hit with a premonition. Without realizing it, a local shop is selling a supposed love potion that makes a couple of innocents go on a rampage.
Piper's the one who helps them realize that they shouldn't worry about the future and try to make what happens in the present count. She knows this from experience because Matthew has told her that he's falling in love with the boss. And since that's not a good idea, while in San Francisco, he took another job offer that will keep him on the road. He'll visit her often, but...

Season 3, Episode 13: ”Who's Using the Spirit Board?"
IS ONE OF THE WARRENS AN IMPOSTER? - Prudence has organized a charity event for her favorite not-for-profit organization and she's talked Piper into catering it. The event goes well until Prudence forgets something at the Manor and sends Paige home to retrieve it. Paige transports home and there, she notices the spirit board is trying to send a message. Paige grabs a pad and pencil and transcribes the letters: "SHEISANIMPOSTER" which she translates to: “She is an imposter.”
And yet, another one of Prudence's lovely charity events, with Piper catering.
She's an imposter, wow, thank you, spirit board, I'm hoping the ancestors are warning them, but what does it mean?
About the same time, Patience and Phoebe arrive at the event and the two sisters notice two strange women keeping an eye on Prudence and Piper. When the two Warrens confront them, the two women literally vanish without a trace.
Even as Patience and Phoebe tell Prudence and Piper about this, Patience receives a text message from Paige about the spirit board message, so the family hurries outside where they meet Paige who transports them home.
After debating what the message means and who may have sent it, the family decides to I.D each other with questions only the family could correctly ask or answer in the hopes that none of them is the imposter. But when Prudence brushes against Phoebe, she is shocked to see a premonition of Phoebe with Peyton, Paige's daughter who died before Phoebe was even born!
Phoebe with Peyton. What???
Even as she gasps in shock, the two strangers show up, each holding onto a strange artifact. Each Warren tries to use her power against them, but none of them have any effect. The two announce that the artifact is a talismans that repel good witches, letting the Warrens know that they are warlocks. The Warrens hear them call each other Melinda and Charlotte, while also calling each other “Sister”.
Suddenly a portal opens up, and when one of the warlocks attempts to use her power against Piper, and Phoebe rushes over to help her sister, the portal sucks the two younger Warrens into itself, along with the two warlocks.
When the portal spits them out, Piper and Phoebe find themselves back in Warren Manor, but with no traces of the sister warlocks behind them, but also no signs of the three older Warrens. Even as they try to figure out what has happened, they hear someone call out, "Hey! Peyton!" and a much-younger Patience walks into the living room, with a very young Piper. The two sisters look at each other in shock and then run out the back door, not wanting to be spotted and having to try to explain who they are. Phoebe notices a newspaper near the trash can. Picking it up, she's shocked to read “April 4, 1993”, five years before Phoebe was even born!

WILL SENDING TWO WARRENS TO THE PAST RESCUE TWO WARRENS ALREADY STUCK IN THE PAST? - Still shattered by what has happened to Piper and Phoebe, Prudence tells Patience and Paige about her earlier premonition. Telling them about a younger Patience and a very-young Piper lets them conclude that the younger Warrens may have been sent to the '90s. When Paige asks what else she saw, Prudence admits she also saw Peyton. Paige's face turns white, and Patience comforts her, imagining how hard it must be for her younger sister to be reminded of her dead daughter.

WILL SENDING TWO WARRENS TO THE PAST RESCUE TWO WARRENS ALREADY STUCK IN THE PAST? - Still shattered by what has happened to Piper and Phoebe, Prudence tells Patience and Paige about her earlier premonition. Telling them about a younger Patience and a very-young Piper lets them conclude that the younger Warrens may have been sent to the '90s. When Paige asks what else she saw, Prudence admits she also saw Peyton. Paige's face turns white, and Patience comforts her, imagining how hard it must be for her younger sister to be reminded of her dead daughter.
But Paige shrugs her off and changes the subject by talking about the warlocks and the artifact they were holding, so the three head to the family book of shadows of shadows, hoping for answers.
Checking the family book of shadows, they find that the artifact was forged back in the early 1700s and is indeed powerful enough to repel good witches. This reminds Prudence that back in her days in Philadelphia with Andrea and the coven, a warlock tricked one of Prudence’s best friends, Bridget – the one who introduced Prudence to Andrea after Bridget moved from Salem to Philadelphia and joined Andrea’s coven - into creating something that would repel good witches.
We also learn how Prudence meet Andrea. I sure hope, we learn about Bridget. I love the name because Bridget reminds me of my favorite teacher in high school.
Prudence concludes that they should go back into the past for answers, using a blood-to-blood spell to send them to the two younger Warrens. But Patience thinks they should contact Bridget for answers first. But Prudence remembers that Bridget has gone on a cruise and will be unreachable for a few weeks, so Andrea would probably be a better option. She contacts Andrea, who agrees to help, so Paige transports to Philadelphia and fetches her aunt.
Sitting down and discussing the situation, the four women decide to send Patience and Paige back in time, to learn firsthand from their past selves. Andrea creates a spell to glamour the pair to prevent them from being exposed while Patience and Paige come up with a cover story.
Prudence wants to go, too but doesn't know what might happen if she runs into herself. Andrea has the same problem, so the two decide to stay behind and try to find a way to contact Piper and Phoebe somehow and return them home.
Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe, still stuck in the 90s, decide to sneak back into the Manor, since Phoebe cannot resist meeting the cousin she has never known. When they return inside, the two are caught by Prudence, who screams for Patience. Before the two can even say anything, Patience runs in and throws her arm, throwing the two right out the front door. The two sisters bail and make a run for it, but not before Melinda sees them and takes off in the other direction.
I love this scene, a nice little nod to 70s when Grams did it. Of course, it isn't the same because Patience does it and not Prudence.
Oh no, the warlock saw them!
Melinda approaches her sister, Charlotte, and admits that she is unsure if they will find what they are looking for in this time period - that they might need to go back further in time - but they should keep looking. As they continue to plot, we realize that the sister warlocks are the ones responsible for Allen Halliwell's death, and that they still find it funny that Prudence thinks she vanquished her late husband's killer decades ago. Melinda grins evilly. "So, shall we go farther back in time and make sure that Prudence never meets Allen? We do that and we'll wipe the Elemental Witches right off the map!"
This is a great cliffhanger. I'd be screaming, watching it.

Season 3, Episode 15: ”That Nineties Episode”
THE TRUTH ABOUT SAM AND PEYTON REVEALED - Patience and Paige have just arrived back in time. Looking around, the two sisters are excited at the thought of being in a time before they were born. But Patience reminds her younger sister that this will be just a quick visit, and then they must go home, using the other spell that their Aunt Andrea wrote. Patience also reminds Paige that they must be careful and not do anything to change the timeline since that could have disastrous consequences - they want information only.
You two better be careful, but I'm nervous that something bad will happen.
Meanwhile, in the 90s, Piper and Phoebe are walking in the park. Piper mentions how glad she is that she happen to have the deposit from that day’s business at her restaurant in her pocket - they never would've been able to stay in a hotel if she tried to use her credit card that won't be valid for another 20 years. Even as Phoebe snickers at that idea, the two spot young Peyton holding hands with a man. They hope that it's Allen, the sisters' grandfather, but they have a feeling that it isn't. They cannot see his face, so they follow and listen. Realizing that it's Sam, the two sisters know all too well this cannot be good.
Sam is here. Oh, oh, this can't be good.
Sam tells Peyton she did well using her powers to stop those bullies from hurting her and promises to keep showing her how to use her powers to protect herself. Piper and Phoebe's hearts sink, knowing full well that Peyton, the little girl they just met in Warren Manor and who is their Aunt Paige's daughter, has become a warlock like her father, the man who tried to kill Piper and Phoebe in San Francisco before they found out that they were witches with powers.
Later, the two sisters walk across town and run into the past versions of their mother and aunt. Seeing them, Past Patience is sure that they are warlocks and is about to use her powers against them, until the two screams that they are her daughters from the future. Past Patience refuses to believe them, even when the two try to prove it by using their powers, especially when they find out that they cannot.
But when they tell them that Peyton is in trouble, Past Paige agrees to listen, although Past Patience is still leery. Piper tells them that they saw Peyton with her father. Past Paige is shocked because she only just sent Peyton to school two hours earlier, and Past Paige adds that she has not spoken to her ex-boyfriend in some time. She adds that after they found out that he is a warlock, her mother cast a spell on him that wouldn't let him enter the Manor. But Past Patience adds, their mother should've cast one that would've kept him out of Salem.
Past Patience thinks they should go inform Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe agree.
Back in the present, Prudence and Andrea are still trying to figure a way to contact Piper and Phoebe in the ‘90s. Prudence still thinks that they should use the blood-to-blood spell that would send them to where and when Piper and Phoebe are, but Andrea is more concerned about the two warlocks going into the 90s. All Prudence can think about is what happened to her granddaughter Peyton and Sam. But she doesn’t remember ever seeing an adult Piper or an adult Phoebe in the '90. Andrea points out that she probably cast a memory-wipe spell so they would forget about it and not prevent it from happening. But that has to mean that the ones in the past will be successful. Unless, Andrea points out, it was the warlocks who cast that memory-wipe spell…
Back in the 90s, Piper and Phoebe meet with Past Prudence who tests them both to determine if they are really who they say they are. Past Patience and Past Paige tell Past Prudence all about Sam and what happened to Peyton. Patience is worried that Sam might go after her own daughter before Victor arrives to take Little Piper away for her protection. Phoebe and Piper do not make contact with their father but watch from the window. Seeing their father alive makes their hearts ache and they comfort each other. Curious, they follow the two and find out that Victor is taking Little Piper to his aunt's house. The sisters remember their dad telling them about his aunt who always took a Caribbean cruise each year and they figure that must be what is happening now. They sneak to the window to watch again and are shocked to see that Sam and Peyton are already waiting for them.
Past Prudence has a premonition that shows Victor and Little Piper dying in a fire, and Past Paige quickly transports to Victor’s aunt’s house, shocked to find the two time-travelers. Piper has been thinking about it and reminds the past version of her aunt that Sam wouldn’t know about who they are, and it might be a surprise. But Past Paige thinks rescuing both Victor and Little Piper and fast is the best bet.
Before Piper and Phoebe can argue, Past Paige transports herself inside, and finds Victor tied up, with Peyton trying to get Little Piper to use her fire power for fun. Little Piper giggles and waves her hands and accidentally sets the whole house on fire. Past Paige grabs Victor and Little Piper and brings them out to Piper and Phoebe, but then goes back for her daughter, even though she now knows for sure that Peyton is a warlock. Piper and Phoebe are certain that Sam has been killed in the fire and can’t help wondering how that will affect their future. When they return home will they find that without Sam’s continued influence, will the Past Warrens be able to turn Peyton back into a witch and never have to vanquish her? Does that mean that Piper and Phoebe will find that they find that they never lived with their father in San Francisco, since the fact that the Past Warrens had to vanquish Peyton was what convinced Past Patience to cast a spell on Victor and her daughters and then send them to live as the Bennetts in San Francisco?
Back at the Manor, Past Paige tells her mother and her sister that although she was able to save Victor and Peyton, Sam was killed in the fire. Despite being the one behind the fire, Peyton still acts very frantic and screams for her dad. She accuses her mother of letting her daddy die. Past Paige tries to calm her daughter down with no success, but then Past Prudence offers her granddaughter some chocolate, and after Peyton takes a bit, she passes out. Past Prudence admits that she put a sleeping potion in it, knowing they might need to eventually use it. Past Patience and Past Victor put Little Piper to bed and then Victor leaves for his night job.
At the same time Past Paige puts Peyton to bed. Peyton pretends to fall asleep while her mother watches. Peyton waits until she hears her mother and her aunt and uncle go all the way downstairs, then she sneaks into Little Piper’s room and wakes her up. She asks her little cousin if she’d like to play a new game. Little Piper tells her that she promised her mommy to never use her fire power again and Peyton says that’s okay; this is a different game. Little Piper agrees and Peyton leads her to the window, which Peyton opens up. She says how fun it would be to fly. Little Piper looks out the window, her eyes all aglow at the idea, while Peyton stands behind her, grinning evilly.

Season 3, Episode 16: ”Reset Reality”
CAN ONE DEATH CHANGE THEIR FUTURE FOREVER? - Back in the 60s, Patience and Paige continue their search for Bridget, knowing that a warlock fooled Bridget into making an amulet that repels good witches. Before they left, Andrea told them about a place where she and Bridget normally met for coven meetings, so they check it out, but when they arrive, they do not find either Andrea or Bridget. Suddenly a portal appears and spits out Melinda, one of the time-traveling warlocks, holding the artifact. She spins and throws the artifact into the portal.
Back in the 90’s, the artifact comes out of the portal, straight into Charlotte’s hand – the other time-traveling warlock. She puts the artifact in her pocket and then shape-shifts into Bridget and arrives at the Manor. She asks Past Prudence odd questions about the 60s. Past Prudence finds them strange but doesn’t suspect anything and answers them truthfully. While she does, Past Patience decides to check on her daughter. She goes upstairs and goes into her daughter’s room just in time to see Peyton trying to talk Little Piper into jumping and flying out the window, telling her little cousin that she’ll be right behind her. Even as Past Paige screams and runs to the window, Little Piper jumps out, but Past Patience manages to reach out and grab her daughter and pull her back in time.
Even as the other Warrens run into the room, Charlotte changes back into herself and attacks. Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe try to defend themselves from her, even though Piper and Phoebe don’t have powers and Past Prudence’s power is passive. Instead Prudence leads them in casting spells. But they only deflect Charlotte; they don’t vanquish her; she’s too powerful.
Meanwhile Past Patience carries Little Piper into the attic, and places her in a crystal cage to protect her, telling her to stay there, while Past Paige grabs Peyton, and places her in her room, this time making sure that she takes a much bigger bite of the chocolate and the sleeping potion. Then she runs back to check on Past Prudence and Piper and Phoebe. No sooner is she gone than Sam shows up. He tries to awaken his daughter, but when he can’t, he uses one of his own spell to counteract whatever the Warrens did to put her to sleep. He tells her they are going to play a little game, and he shapeshifts into Victor. Peyton finds the game funny and agrees to call him Uncle Victor rather than Daddy. He disagrees and tells her to get back in bed and pretend she’s asleep. Giggling, Peyton does as she’s told.
And of course, Sam is back, which again leaves me on the edge of my seat. What has Sam got planned?
Past Patience comes in, surprised to find Victor back from work so soon. As they leave the room, Imposter Victor knocks Past Patience out and throws her in a closet. He then casts a spell on Peyton, making her look like Patience. They walk up to the attic, where Little Piper is still in the crystal cage for her protection.
Imposter Patience tells Little Piper it’s okay to come out of the cage, but Little Piper senses something off about her “parents” which freaks her out, and her powers go out of control.
Meanwhile Charlotte now has the knowledge she needs and attempts to join her sister in the 60s. But just as she is about to go even further into the past, saying she has the knowledge and is going to wipe the Warrens right off the map. But Past Patience waves her arm and the artifact goes flying out of Charlotte’s hand. The other Warrens overpower her and tie her to Little Piper’s bed with Piper and Phoebe left to watch her, while Past Prudence and Past Paige head to the attic to let Little Piper know that she’s safe. Past Paige wonders where her sister is and Past Prudence reminds her that she is checking on her daughter.
In the attic, as the room catches on fire, Sam shape-shifts back into himself while taking off the spell that makes Peyton look like Patience. Past Prudence and Past Paige are shocked to see Sam. Past Paige tries to vanquish him, but instead she vanquishes Peyton.
Just as Sam is about to end Past Prudence and Past Paige, Charlotte appears with the artifact. Past Paige knows that might help her go into the past and save Peyton, but Past Prudence says that that might only making matters worse.
Laughing, Charlotte uses the artifact to go downstairs, where she finally makes the trip to the 60s, but first she has to take care Piper and Phoebe, knowing she has to take them back to the present. She tells them that it’s their lucky day, and she drops them off into the present, but both Piper and Phoebe know that what she said must mean that their future is in jeopardy, so as she uses the artifact to go to the 60s, they tag along.
Back in the 60s, the two sister warlocks meet. Charlotte lets Melinda know that Paige and Patience are here. Melinda laughs, saying they won’t be able to help Bridget because Bridget is already dead. When Patience and Paige find out, they are shocked beyond belief as they realize that they were too late. Now they’re terrified, wondering about what this might do to their future.
Back in the present, Prudence walks in holding a steaming cup of tea, which she hands towards her beloved sister-in-law, her dead husband’s twin sister.
On a cruise boat somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Bridget disappears, ceasing to exist.

Back at the Manor, Andrea has taken the cup of tea, but she’s totally confused, asking, “Who are you?” and Prudence is shocked to realize that she has absolutely no idea who this woman in her house is.
Something terribly wrong has occurred in the past. Can the time-traveling Warrens fix the timeline before it affects the present even more, or will they simply continue to make things worse?

Season 3, Episode 17: ”That Sixties Episode”
Season 3, Episode 17: ”That Sixties Episode”
TIME IS RUNNING OUT… - Prudence is panicking, not knowing what is going on. But at least she’s home in Warren Manor. Poor Andrea has no idea where she is or why and she backs away, certain that Prudence is a warlock who has abducted her. Spinning round, she makes a run for it.
Meanwhile Piper and Phoebe find themselves in the 60s, reunited with their mother and aunt. Patience and Paige are happy to see them but have bad news. Patience warns them that they might not have a future to go back to, because Piper and Phoebe's grandfather, Allen Halliwell, did not meet Prudence on the day they should have.
Paige reminds them that after Bridget, one of Prudence's best friends, moved from Salem to Philadelphia, she joined the Philadelphia coven and she was the one who introduced Prudence to the coven when Prudence visited her. That’s where Prudence met Andrea, who, in turn, introduced her to Allen. But they’ve discovered that it was actually Charlotte who killed Bridget, so if the Warrens return to the present, no one will know who they are because they do not exist, or if they do, it would be as totally different people, since they’d have a different father/grandfather. So they must find a way to fix the past before they return to the present.
The four women check into a hotel under alias names and decide that as long as they do not interact with any more family members or friends of their family members until they fix this mess as soon as possible, they should be fine. Paige thinks that maybe the artifact the warlocks had might be their chance to travel back farther in time, so they can make sure that Bridget lives so that in turn Prudence and Allen meet on the day they should. Patience is afraid that doing that might just make matters worse as one of them could be killed. Piper and Phoebe are still reeling from the shock of learning what has happened and don’t know what to think.
Yes, that artifact is the key. But Patience is right. It is risky, but I think everyone is in shock and worried about what might happen next.
Back in the present, Prudence answers the door to find two strangers, a man and a woman. They hug her as they greet her as their mother. This lets us know that since the past has changed, Prudence has married a different man who gave her a son and a daughter who looks nothing like Prudence or Paige. Prudence rolls her eyes as she tells them about her “fun” afternoon when a warlock suddenly appeared in Warren Manor. The two laugh at her. Her daughter wonders why she thinks a warlock would end up in Warren Manor since Prudence hasn't practiced magic in a very long time, since she stripped her powers before marrying Jeffrey. Her son tells her how happy he is that she also stripped their powers the day each of them and each of their children were born.
We realize that there is no longer such a thing as the Elemental Witches…
Back in the past, Patience, Paige, Piper, and Phoebe make plans to take down the warlocks so they can get a hold of the artifact. Patience thinks they might be able to do a locator spell, when she notices a piece of hair on her coat that doesn't match her own. Remembering the struggle she had with one of the warlocks before she killed Bridget, she knows what to do. Now if they only had the right ingredients for the potion… Paige remembers spotting a Wicca store nearby, so she decides to go get them. She wishes she still had her control over the element Air so she could just teleport. Phoebe laughs at her and says she’ll have to walk like everyone else.
LOL, you'll have to walk just like the rest of them, Paige.
While there, Past Prudence comes inside, so Paige quickly hides behind a shelf and hears Prudence tell the store clerk that she needs the ingredients for a potion that will allow her to relinquish her powers for good.

Season 3, Episode 18: "Yesterday I was a Witch; Today I'm Non-Magical"
WILL PRUDENCE STRIP HER POWERS? – Paige is horrified: Even as Past Prudence pays for her items, Paige quickly grabs the ingredients she needs from the shelf, and hurries to pay for hers. Paige runs outside, but she sees Past Prudence get into a cab before Paige can even attempt to steal or knock over her bag.
Back at the hotel, Piper is terrified by what might happen if they fail. Patience begs her daughter not to worry about that; they will succeed. No sooner are those words out of her mouth than Paige comes running inside, screaming, “Past Prudence wants to relinquish her powers for good!” After the others get all the details and they settle Paige down, they decide it best not to confront them as a group. Phoebe also remembers that her grandmother once laughed about how shortly before she even met Allen, she came up with a potion that could harm warlocks without vanquishing them and had stashed the potion vials in a dark-purple chest in the attic. Prudence told Phoebe that she might as well toss the vials, since the potion would have long since lost its potency. But all four realize that in this time period the potion would still be fully potent. So Piper and Phoebe hurry to catch a cab to the Manor to retrieve the vials, while Patience and Paige start the locator spell.
Past Prudence arrives home and walks into the kitchen and starts her potion to relinquish her powers when there’s a knock at the front door. It’s Piper pretending to be a new neighbor who has moved in and needs a cup of sugar. Normally Past Prudence wouldn’t let a stranger into the Manor, but Past Prudence gets a feeling that she’s always known this woman and lets her in. While Past Prudence brings Piper back to the kitchen, Phoebe sneaks in and hurries up to the attic and finds the chest, but Melinda is already there and throws Phoebe across the room. When Past Prudence hears the noise coming from the attic, she runs upstairs with Piper not far behind. Charlotte, holding the artifact and standing at the top of the stairs, grabs Piper by the throat and throws her down the stairs, knocking Piper unconscious.
Meanwhile Patience and Paige have finished the locator spell, which reveals that that both warlock sisters are in the Manor’s attic. Realizing that it was a trap, they hurry to rescue them.
Back at the Manor, the two warlock sisters now have both Past Prudence and Phoebe tied up. Past Prudence freaks out, telling the warlocks she will not be any more trouble to them; after all, she is planning to relinquish her powers. They laugh, saying that they will make a deal: help them vanquish these two witches and they’ll let her live the magic-free life that she wants. Phoebe begs Past Prudence to not listen to them.
Patience and Paige arrive and find Piper unconscious. They wake her up, then they all hurry to the attic. . Since the warlock sisters already know about Piper, they decide that she will bust in and distract them while the other two get to the chest.
Piper busts in and Melinda walks towards her, while Charlotte puts the artifact on a table as she continues to guard Phoebe and Past Prudence. Melinda grabs Piper by the throat up and shoves her against the wall, telling her that she and her sister are going to enjoy destroying the Elemental Witches. Patience and Paige run inside, but rather than going to the chest, Patience hurries to Past Prudence and Phoebe, but the glare in Charlotte’s eyes stops her. Meanwhile, Paige hurries to the dark-purple chest. She opens it and grabs the vials, putting them in her pocket, but rolling one across the room, calling out her sister’s name. Patience reaches down to catch the vial and then throws it at Charlotte’s face. She screams when it breaks and the potion inside burns her face, and then Patience kicks her right out the window, smashing the glass.
Patience grabs the artifact and unties Past Prudence and Phoebe, but Melinda grabs Piper by the throat and warns Patience that if she doesn’t drop the artifact, Piper is dead. Past Prudence freaks out, still wondering who all these people are, although Charlotte mentioning the Elemental Witches has her wondering.
Phoebe can't hold it in. Knowing that Past Prudence gets premonitions, she asks her to touch her and she’ll see that she is from the future and is her granddaughter and those two are her daughters. But when Past Prudence touches her, she sees the future with Jeffery and her son and daughter and their children. Past Prudence accuses Phoebe of lying - she isn’t who she says she is and must be a warlock.
Realizing they are running out of time, Piper takes a potion vial out of her pocket and smashes it into Melinda’s face. She and Paige run towards Past Patience and Phoebe, so all four are now near the artifact. They beg Past Prudence to believe in them; they will fix things. Only Charlotte’s mention of the Elemental Witches has her agreeing – for now.
But Charlotte wakes up and runs back inside, just as the four use the artifact to go farther back in time, while Melinda and Charlotte stalk Past Prudence, each holding an athame, ready to kill her and end the chance of the Elemental Witches ever happening.

Season 3, Episode 19: ”Protecting the Warren Legacy”
CAN THEY SAVE ALL WARRENS' PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE? –The Warrens arrive shortly before Bridget will be killed. Piper and Phoebe hurry to find Past Patience and Past Paige from the 90’s and warn them that they need to stop the warlocks from killing Bridget right away. Piper still has potion vials to hurt the warlocks in her pocket. She has three vials left.
Past Patience and Past Paige are surprised that Piper and Phoebe also ended up in the 60s. Piper warns them that they don’t have time to explain but she hands each of them a vial, saying they need to hurry to where Bridget will be murdered and fast.
Past Patience and Past Paige arrive at the park, seeing Bridget sitting on a bench, but stop before they reach her, waiting for the warlock sisters to arrive. Piper and Phoebe run up to her and grab her, telling her that they are good witches and she is in danger. They hurry her away, telling her to take a taxi to her coven, that she will shortly meet someone who will be a very special part of her life.
No sooner do they leave than the versions of the warlock sisters who were going to kill Bridget arrive. Seeing her running off with Piper and Phoebe, they start chasing them, but Past Patience and Past Paige throws the vials at the warlock sisters, hurting them and stopping them. Bridget gets away and finds a cab to take her to her coven where she will meet Prudence.
But the potion doesn’t stop the warlock sisters for long and they follow Piper and Phoebe back to where Patience and Paige – and the artifact – are.
But the potion doesn’t stop the warlock sisters for long and they follow Piper and Phoebe back to where Patience and Paige – and the artifact – are.
Thanks to them saving Bridget, the four Warrens are able to use the artifact to return outside the Manor to when they first saw Past Prudence with her alternate family, not knowing that the warlock sisters are tagging along. The Warrens go to the back and see Prudence having tea with Bridget and Andrea. They hear Andrea tell Prudence that she can’t wait to introduce her to her twin brother Allen.
Back in the present, Prudence is talking to her son and daughter when they disappear, and instead it’s Andrea talking to her again. Thanks to her Spirit Element, Prudence still remembers everything that happened when time was almost changed for good. She decides to make a potion that will vanquish the warlock sisters since it includes an ingredient her family wouldn’t be able to concoct in the past, and Andrea helps.
Back in the past, the two warlock sisters corner the Warrens, both holding an athame in each hand, ready to kill all four Warrens at once.
Charlotte and Melinda aim their athames at the Warrens. Suddenly Prudence arrives in the past, behind the two warlock sisters. She sees what is happening and screams. Charlotte and Melinda spin around to see Prudence and transport away.
Charlotte and Melinda aim their athames at the Warrens. Suddenly Prudence arrives in the past, behind the two warlock sisters. She sees what is happening and screams. Charlotte and Melinda spin around to see Prudence and transport away.
The four Warrens are thrilled to see Prudence, but she says she can’t stay long, not without altering the past with her presence. She hands them each a vial of the potion that will vanquish the warlock sisters. Then she bids them farewell and returns to the present. There Andrea comforts her, certain that her family will succeed and be able to return safely home.
Charlotte and Melinda arrive, and during the fight, Charlotte knocks out Patience while Melinda knocks out Paige, leaving Piper and Phoebe surrounded by the two warlocks. “Killing Allen was easy,” Charlotte tells them. I’m going to enjoy killing you two while I get to enjoy your mother’s and aunt’s reaction just before we kill them!”
Even as Piper and Phoebe gasp as they realize that these are the ones who killed their grandfather, Piper throws the vial Prudence gave her at Charlotte screaming, “This is for you, Grams!” as Charlotte goes up in flames. Melinda, knowing she might be next, grabs the artifact to make a run for it, but Phoebe kicks her and the artifact goes flying in the air. The four Warrens all touch it, and attempt to go back to their rightful time, but Melinda also touches it, setting off a big blast, and they all find themselves in yet another time period. When they arrive, a woman with dark hair watches them from afar, but we cannot see her face. Patience realizes that now they are stuck way in the past, possibly the 1700s or even the 1600s.
But the four are separated when witch hunters catch them. Paige, Piper and Phoebe manage to escape and find each other. Just when they really start worrying about Patience, she walks in with a young man who she says rescued her and helped her find her family. Finally, just as a witch hunter is about to shoot Phoebe in the back with his gun, the four women all touch the artifact and use it to safely arrive back in the present.
But when they tell Prudence what all has happened, Patience and Paige has to hurry over to comfort their mother, knowing how much she must be missing their father after they finally vanquished his killer. She hugs them and smiles at her daughters and her granddaughters, telling them how very proud she is of her family and how happy she is that they all came safely home.
Later Patience and Paige are sitting, talking about what has happened until it hits Paige that although Piper and Phoebe kept talking about how much they wish they could’ve known their grandfather, Patience never even mentioned their father since she reunited with her family, and although she hurried over with Patience to comfort Prudence, it was Paige doing all the comforting, when usually it would’ve been Patience. Paige suddenly remembers the message from the spirit board: “She is an imposter”
We cut back to the past, where we see Patience lying on the ground, unconscious.
In the present, Paige tells her mother and her nieces why she doesn’t think that Patience is really their daughter, sister and aunt. Even as they discuss what to do, the pointer on the spirit board starts moving and the Warrens end up facing the worst fear they could ever have imagined.

Season 3, Episode 20: ”Warren vs. Warren”
Season 3, Episode 20: ”Warren vs. Warren”
ONE LAST CHANCE TO SAVE ALL WARRENS' PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE! – The spirit of Mary Ann Warren uses the board to reveal that Melinda is actually her sister Jenna while Charlotte was actually Jenna’s own daughter – they called each other sisters in order to throw off the Warrens.
Mary Ann reveals that while the Warrens were watching Prudence, Andrea and Bridget, Melinda’s husband kidnapped Patience while Jenna shape-shifted into Patience so she could hitch a ride to the present. When Piper wants to know why Jenna would want to come to the future, Mary Ann tells them that Jenna tried to kill Mary Ann’s only daughter, Beatrice, so Beatrice used a spell of her own to send her to the time of the prophesied Elemental Witches. She tells Phoebe to go check their backyard. When Phoebe goes outside, she finds a heavily-pregnant Beatrice. The Warrens must protect their ancestor at all costs or all Warrens will be wiped out forever.
Back in the 1700s, Patience desperately tries to find a way home. Jenna told her who she really was before she and her husband, her so-called rescuer, went to find the other Warrens and now Patience is terrified of what Jenna’s presence in her true time could mean for the future of all Warrens. Remembering that her favorite aunt Andrea told her that the artifact was originally created during the late 1700s by Brianna Halliwell, one of Andrea’s own ancestors, Patience decides to go hunting for Brianna Halliwell in hopes that she can create a different one that Patience can use to go home. But before she can, she is captured by a witch hunter and thrown into a prison cell.
Back in the present, Paige transports herself and Beatrice Warren to Andrea's house in Philadelphia, where she hopes her ancestor will be safe until they can find a way to send Jenna back to the 1700s and bring Paige back to the present.
Jenna (special guest star Shannen Doherty) is looking for Beatrice Warren, and when she almost kills Paige, Paige panics and transports herself and Beatrice out of the way, as they attempt to use their powers against her, just as Jenna herself escapes. She then transports Beatrice back to Salem since Prudence, Piper and Phoebe have found a solution.
The Warrens cast a spell that switches Jenna with Patience. They also send Beatrice back just as she begins to go into labor. Patience is returned to the present while Jenna is sent back to the past, just as jailers come to bring her to gallows. At the same moment that Jenna drops, Beatrice Warren gives birth to her daughter, Prudence's grandmother Patience.
Later, everyone sits by the fireplace, where they discuss Allen, and again Prudence becomes emotional, knowing that her family did this for her. Patience and Paige miss their father dearly, and Piper and Phoebe are glad they got to avenge him too, even as they wish that they could’ve known him better. After everyone hugs everyone else, they turn to go to bed when Paige happens to glance at a calendar. She is shocked to see that her and Patience’s annual spring trip with their friends to Florida is the very next day. They quickly hurry to their rooms to pack for their trip.
Meanwhile, in an unknown location in Florida, a warlock visits a friend with a new potion, telling her friend to drink up; she looks very sick. Her friend complains that her powers haven’t been working lately. The visiting warlock is shocked and worried, afraid that this might be the beginning of the end for all warlocks and all witches.

Season 3, Episode 21: ”Will their Powers Wither?'(Part One)”
Season 3, Episode 21: ”Will their Powers Wither?'(Part One)”
THE START OF THE TWO-PART SEASON FINALE —It’s summer and, surprisingly, the Warrens have continued their lives without any supernatural interferences. Phoebe has been interning at a local Salem newspaper; Patience and Paige are on their annual summer leave from work and are spending a month together in Florida. Piper is in the process of hiring a new manager after her old one decided to start one of her own, and as usual, Prudence spends her time in her garden when she’s not at a number of not-for-profit organization.
But when Patience and Paige return from their vacation, something is very different about them – both are usually the most level-minded, gentle people you’d know, but now Patience, of all people, is having violent tendencies and Paige is being aggressive over the smallest disagreement. To top it off, when attempting to rescue an innocent from a warlock, both Patience and Paige act like they don't care, and when it’s time to use their powers, both of them can’t use them properly.
Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe wonder if they truly just don't care and are faking it, or something else happened on the vacation to cause the change. The three manage to save the innocent without being able to vanquish the warlock. But when they return home (and they have to walk since Paige can’t/won’t transport them), both Patience and Paige collapse on the floor.
OMG, what is happening to Patience and Paige?
Prudence rushes to treat them, but one look and she hurries to the family book of shadows and confirms her suspicions: Wither Pox. This very rare virus doesn’t affect non-magicals but weakens a witch’s or a warlock’s powers over time so that eventually the powers cease to exist. The book also explains that the more their powers weaken, the more they will show very violent or aggressive tendencies, which usually leads to them killing the people they love. The book adds that nobody has been able to figure out how Wither Pox is transmitted from one witch or warlock to another.
Later, the warlock they were trying to stop shows up at the Manor with two members of her warlock coven. The other members explain that she’s showing early signs of Wither Pox and when they found out that Patience’s and Paige’s powers didn’t work, they figured that they were the source, but won’t tell how or why they know. Now the warlock coven wants to make an alliance with the Warrens to find a potion that will stop Wither Pox from destroying all witches and warlocks forever. But in order to do that, both parties must agree to try to destroy the other.
Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe exchange glances. They know that they can’t trust a warlock, especially a coven of them, but the look that Prudence gives her granddaughter tells them that she knows of no way to save her daughters. So the three of them are left with a choice: Do they work with a coven of warlocks or do they vanquish them anyway and try to find another solution?

WILL THE WARRENS’ DECISION COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM? — Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe have decided to make a temporary alliance (although, of course, they will never totally trust them) with their warlock foes in the hopes that all sides can find a antivirus that will cure Wither Pox.
Season 3, Episode 22: Will their Powers Wither?' (Part Two)”
WILL THE WARRENS’ DECISION COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM? — Prudence, Piper, and Phoebe have decided to make a temporary alliance (although, of course, they will never totally trust them) with their warlock foes in the hopes that all sides can find a antivirus that will cure Wither Pox.
The first step is for the Warrens to find out how Patience and Paige were first infected while the warlock coven tries to find the source of the disease. Wanting to find out what her daughters know, Prudence has Piper make a potion that will numb Patience’s and Paige’s pain. Piper warns her grandmother and sister that it potion will only last so long before the effects take over, but Prudence says that’s okay, since they only need a little time.
After hearing how Patience and Paige tried to vanquish a demoness who was harming an innocent and then they started feeling strange, Prudence realizes their enemy is the Demoness of Destruction. Phoebe is all set to hurry off to Florida and force the Demoness of Destruction to reveal how to stop the virus, especially when the warlock coven arrives, announcing that they have discovered where the demoness is – on an island off of Florida – the Warrens never would’ve found her on their own.
I love how they have to go to an island off Florida to find answers to the Wither Pox virus, making this exciting for them to travel outside of Salem, which has happened a few times already.
I bet the Demoness will not go down without a fight, and she won't be easy for telling them answers.
But Prudence wants to stay behind so she can tend to her daughters by keeping them sedated so they won’t harm anyone, and Piper and Phoebe don’t want to leave her alone, especially because she’ll also be tending the sick warlock – part of the deal. So because Prudence needs Piper to continue to make the sedation potion, Phoebe agrees to accompany one of the warlocks to Florida.
This warlock has the power to transport, which is very similar to Paige’s, the reason he was chosen. He transports Phoebe and himself to an island near Florida that the warlocks have used their powers to track the Demoness, while Prudence and Piper and the other warlock stay behind to tend to Patience, Paige and the sick warlock.
Upon arriving in Florida, they find the Demoness of Destruction but that’s when Phoebe finds out she’s been double-crossed and this is a trap – the warlock coven previously made an alliance with the Demoness in hopes of just saving the warlock race while eliminating all witches forever. Now even if Prudence finds a way to save her daughters, Phoebe’s death would mean the demoness and the warlock wouldn’t have to worry about the Elemental Witches stopping them.
When Phoebe points out that if Wither Pox destroys all witches, it will also destroy all warlocks, the Demoness starts laughing. She explains that when a witch becomes a warlock, the witch's DNA is changed, just like it's changed when a warlock becomes a witch, and Wither Pox affects the DNA. She has an antivirus that will cure warlock DNA but not witch's DNA, the reason why the Demoness concocted the Pox to begin with.
Meanwhile Prudence receives a premonition of Phoebe’s death, but when she tries to phone her granddaughter to warn her, she gets no answer.
Will Prudence and Piper find a cure so they can use Paige’s transportation power to go save Phoebe, or will the warlocks succeed in wiping out all witches forever?
