From the conversation between Tempus and Rodriguez, Rodriguez did in fact seem to be an Upper-Level demon. If you noticed, he was never vanquished by anything but his own energy balls, which even Upper-Level demons are capable of doing as shown by Cole attempting to kill himself with his own energy ball so the power of three or potion of his own flesh argument doesn't apply. He was an Upper-Level, I think they just changed the rules surrounding Upper-Level demons when Cole entered the picture since Litvack went out like a chump, too. I even mentioned it in the common problems of Charmed thread, it's shocking when you go back to see the Rodriguez episode and compare him to later demons. He was captured. In a chair. And bound with ropes. Ropes. Now that I think of it I guess he was an upper level demon for their skill level at the time because if they were faced with an upper level demon in the later seasons I would find it hard to believe that they could all survive. I am surprised that Rodriguez didn't use his scream while they were tying him up, it seems like he used it once and forgot about it. Continuity errors became very evident in later seasons. Wow I totally forgot he had a scream. Why he never tried it on the charmed ones when he came through the door is surprising |

True, I wonder why the writers didn't have him use his scream. I wonder how they got away with unsolved cases once Morris left? Wasn't there some agent the one whom helped them return to normal life with a cover story on faking their death in season 8 dear? I can't remember season 8, or his name. |

They had the FBI covering up for them. plus they had agent Murphy under their thumb. He was too willing to do anything for them to get them off his back. |

All this reminds me of is Black Canary from the DC comics. Interesting power, not sure it was used again in the series. |

Yeah, I meant like how Darryl would give them the information they need to figure out who a person was or where they were last spotted but I guess they were focusing more on demons anyway |

I remember a couple of times where Piper would ask her sisters if any of them had talked to agent murphy about something or someone of interest |

"Look who's barking" Oh yes.  Yeah, I meant like how Darryl would give them the information they need to figure out who a person was or where they were last spotted but I guess they were focusing more on demons anyway I think they still asked agent Murphy. I remember a couple of times where Piper would ask her sisters if any of them had talked to agent murphy about something or someone of interest Thanks for this dear, so it was agent Murphy. I barely remember him, must of been a character we didn't see much of in season 8. Obviously wouldn't be as great as Darryl. |

Agent Murphy worked for Home Land Security and knew the sisters were witches.
He helped them get back into the world after faking their deaths by saying the sisters worked for them on an undercover case.

He helped them get back into the world after faking their deaths by saying the sisters worked for them on an undercover case. He also became the only go to person for help with their own magical cases. Like in "The Lost Picture Show" Then agent Murphy helps Paige and Sam to get JD out of the hospital and they go up against the demon. Seemed like they were trying to get him into Daryl's former role |

Well the mythology of Charmed always wasn't accurate. So this is only based off the early seasons. So we just do not know. But Rodriguez was gifted Tempus from The Source himself. I vaguely remember Tempus mentioning The Source but not by name. But yeah he was maybe a Upper Level demon, just not too high. Just felt more like he was a hired demon. Wasn't it later learnt the Traid was behind the attacks of season 1 and 2 in season 3. Then again they were called the Council in the second season final, and then got a name change in season 3, when Brad Kern took over and basically changed the show. Is this the moment you are mentioning Ruth? So your right The Source sent Tempus as a gift to Rodrigeuz. He mentions all his other colleagues have gone missing, so nobody knew about the Charmed Ones yet. I guess word started to spread they are them well into season 2, and The Triad was the one to get this knowledge from one of the demons they sent after the Charmed Ones? Be Careful What you Witch ForHoneymoon's OverSo a majority of the demons throughout season 1 and 2 were getting orders from The Triad? Formerly known as Council in season 2 which had 5 members and not 3 like season 3. LOL what a joke that they can't remember continuity that only was a single episode proceeding it. Talk about terrible writing. Yes it is and thanks. Yeah they really had nobody to fact check everything and keep look at this stuff. Clearly nobody cared. |

Why didn't they accelerate time before Andy died?

If I remember correctly, Rodrigez was the first demon in Charmed having the power of energy balls, so all the previous demons they had battled weren't that strong at all. and Phoebe's martial art ability always were really helping. So mavbe they thought that Phoebe could kick him first, so he became unconscious and then Prue & Piper coming My thoughts, as well. The OP, literally answered their own question. Despite Phoebe not having an active power (at the time), she was the most physically capable to punch a face. |
