So there are 4 points in which Chris is revealed as Piper and Leos son.
The reveal to Phoebe after her vision quest
The reveal to Paige in the genie episose
The reveal to Piper at the end of Courtship of Wyatt Father.
And the reveal to Leo in Spin City.
To me, all the reveals were good but it's a toss-up between the Phoebe reveal and the Piper reveal.
I thought the Leo reveal was the weakest but I still enjoyed it. Plus Spin City was Drew's best work if you ask me

I guess the reveal to Phoebe after the vision quest. The others were sorta played more for comedy, which I felt kinda "meh" about. Charmed was often better when it didn't take itself too seriously in my opinion, but even so, there were some occasions when taking things a little more seriously might have given the scene more weight.

I'll have a little rewatch but from memory they weren't all that impactful on me.

Yeah, I also found them all a bit boring, probably because I already suspected it, since I heard that Holly was pregnant. If I had to choose one, probably Phoebe's just because it was the first, but I was more interested in Phoebe finding out she was pregnant, because by that point, I couldn't care less who Chris was or why he'd come back - I just wanted the little brat gone.
If I only knew how horribly Phoebe's baby daddy search storyline would go, I wouldn't have been interested in any of it.

The reveal to Piper was the best for me. Just the look on pipers face when chris showed up.
I liked the phoebe reveal also but in that instance it was her dialogue with chris in the beginning of the next episode “I dream of phoebe” that was so funny. Phoebe accusing chris of splitting up his parents and not thinking his entire mission through.

If I only knew how horribly Phoebe's baby daddy search storyline would go, I wouldn't have been interested in any of it. None of them. Since this was the season that nearly killed the show for me to almost completely stop watching. I can't say it did anything for me. But I'd go for Phoebe myself. Just because the story set up for her made me somewhat curious. |

I'm in the minority but the reveal to Leo. Learning he has another son and the fact that said son hates his guts - I'm an angst/hurt-comfort writer so that was powerful to me.

I gotta admit I always liked that one the most. Also the Piper reveal, the face she makes is so iconic and unforgettable :,) But I have to say that upon rewatching I didn't find the reveals as moving or impactful as I would've before. |

I might be one of the few who never liked the scene. What made it less fun was how both Piper and Phoebe got all this future knowledge of seeing they'll become mothers one day. It would've been more impactful if it was truly a shock to the audience when we learn about it when they do.

It would've been more impactful if it was truly a shock to the audience when we learn about it when they do. I didn't love it either now that I rewatched it, not just Piper's scene but anyone's reveal, really. It was all so underwhelming. But I guess I have nostalgia to blame, because I remember Piper's scene leaving an impact when I watched it as a kid. I still love the look Piper gives Chris, Holly was amazing there, even if it was so brief. And I agree, I wish at least that Phoebe's vision didn't reveal that she has a child. It would've been interesting if we weren't shown Phoebe's vision, if we just saw that it made her trust Chris more and help him get his parents back together without knowing why she's doing it. And then we get the reveal right when Piper does. But I don't know, it seems like that version might've been just as messy. |

I would've like Phoebe's vision quest if it was a personal quest that didn't show her the future. But only focused on her past to help her move forward with a newfound understanding of herself. I'm not sure how you'd fix it to make it better. Unless the sisters figure out Chris is Piper's future son all on their own without Chris telling them himself or Phoebe's vision quest making her realize it. |

Rewriting the entire storyline better would be great. |
