I will say this episode renewed my faith in the reboot slightly and was miles better than last week in terms of storyline and sisterly moments which I enjoyed watching.

The scene with Mel, Macy and Maggie trying to perform the P03 spell with the triquetra and candles was good reminding me of a classic Charmed P03 spell Prue, Piper's, and Phoebe would've done minus the Latin words of course.

This weeks villain was better than last weeks and not totally dark like later how OG Charmed used to write there's season 5 onward.

Viewers understood Helen's story and why her dark self acted the way she did which in a time where women couldn't choose their own husbands being married under adult age or even vote it wasn't hard thinking what her reaction would be.

Nice Maggie saw that and didn't kill Helen outright at the cemetery showcasing maturity from her that I liked even though good Helen did so later on so dark Helen didn't end Macy.

Hopefully, Helen fought peace with Daniel in the afterlife then.

Didn't care Parker or Abigael being here whom I knew wasn't trustworthy from the start stealing Macy's fire to make her stronger for whatever reason she did which I'm sure we'll find out why in due course but am glad Macy did not give Maggie Parker's letter because she's moving on as she should do after what happened though I do suspect Maggie will be angry later on about the letter when she finds out obviously.

If next weeks episode follows suit with more sisterly moments and a good villain then season 2 maybe redeemable still.
