2.01: Witch Trial

Mabon, the autumninal equinox and the sisters' anniversary of becoming witches, has come around.

He's now reading the spells backwards and unvanquishing demons. While Piper (who is also trying to get a loan to buy a club) and Phoebe try to reconnect in order to get the book back, Prue is refusing to get back into the witchy business if it means that it's only going to result in the people she loved getting killed.

Witches and non-witches alike are being persecuted- a repeat of the 1600s- and future Leo refuses to save Phoebe, because if he does, the persecution will continue.

A heatwave arises and, along with that, a string of men being murdered. The big thing is that Phoebe is having bizarre dreams about killing these same guys.

2.22: Be Careful What You Witch For

The sisters are visited by a Genie (guest star French Stewart), who wants to grant them one wish each. Following Leo's advice, all three of them avoid making wishes, but each of them slips up. Prue wishes to feel like she did when she fell in love for the first time, which makes her 17 again; Piper wishes for Dan to move on with his life, which he does literally and becomes really old; and Phoebe wishes to have an active power- she gains the ability to fly, but the power is stolen from a Dragon demon... the same demon that Prue goes on a 'date' with. Piper is forced to tell Dan her big secret, Phoebe comes close to exposure and Dragon kills Prue. The Genie offers to reverse their wishes and allows them to wish Prue back to life so that they can kill Dragon.

The latest criminal, Emilio Smith, targets Darryl and Cole Turner (the new, hot, Assistant District Attorney assigned to the case), and Prue and Phoebe must testify against Emilio without betraying their secret. Unknown to them, the judge is a demon who is assigning the Guardians to criminals, which is why Cole is repeatedly losing the case... that is until Judge Hamilton is mysteriously vanquished... by Cole.

The sisters prepare to celebrate Hallowe'en with enthusiasm- especially Piper, who is determined to be the ultimate good witch in thanks to the Elders for sending Leo back- but plans are cut short when both evil and good intervene. Cole, aka Belthazor, has been sent back to 1670 to make sure that a powerful witch is kidnapped and raised evil and the Elders send the sisters back to the same year to make sure that the baby is safe.

3.07: Power Outrage

When threatened by the Triad, Cole enlists the help of a rage demon in order to split the bond of the Power of Three. The sisters end up in a huge fight, and use their powers against each other.

He tries to kill her but cannot bring himself to do it- instead he convinces her to go home and work things out with her sisters. Andras then possesses Belthazor and heads over to the Manor. The battle is in vain, as Belthazor vanquishes Andras, and Piper is able to get a piece of Cole's flesh for the vanquishing potion.

Cole is injured and on the run from all agents of the Underworld. Unfortunately, he is being targeted by a powerful Zotar, as well as the Charmed Ones.

Phoebe is caught in an inner battle- should she vanquish the demon or save her boyfriend. When the Zotar turns on her, Cole kills him- proving to Phoebe that he does love her and is worth saving. Phoebe lies to her sisters, saying that she killed Cole.

3.09: Coyote Piper

Time arrives for Piper's 10th High School Reunion... and of course she's nervous. After all, she's a powerful witch who's engaged to a guardian angel, but all everyone else will see is a 27 year old who still lives in her grandmother's house with her sisters, a cat and her unemployed fiance.  Of course, when magic intervenes, things get a whole lot worse. Terra, a life essence escapes from her boyfriend's- a demonic alchemist- lair and seeks the Charmed Ones, hoping to kill the alchemist and gain a place in the Power Of Three... and she targets Piper.

3.10: We All Scream For Ice Cream

When trying to track down a song that Prue has stuck in her mind, she and Phoebe discover an Ice Cream truck that is abducting children. When they successfully help the kids back outside, they find that they are actually demons. It turns out that the song in the truck attracts demon children like moths to a flame. Once inside, they are destroyed by an entity (the Nothing) that is strong enough to do so. Since the Ice Cream man himself is injured and trapped in the truck, the sisters need a mortal- who knows about the truck- to help them in. Who better to help than their father Victor Bennet, who saved Prue from the Nothing when she was young?

3.11: Blinded By The Whitelighter

A warlock called Eames is hunting down the powers of specific witches in order to kill a whitelighter and gain the power to orb... so that he can decimate all whitelighters and Elders.

3.12: Wrestling With Demons

Prue discovers that an ex-boyfriend of hers has joined an academy where mortals are trained to become demons, and is determined to save him. Phoebe, despite not liking Prue's decision, casts a lost-and-found spell, which becomes a little too enthusiastic- bringing back childhood toys, old friends, lost pencils, socks (victims of the dryer), their old dog and Phoebe's brown hair (and their mother's ring, to Piper's joy)!

Phoebe finally comes clean to her sisters about Cole- Piper being disappointed, and Prue being absolutely furious with her for lying and letting a demon go.

3.13: Bride and Gloom

A dark priestess helps a warlock to kidnap Prue, and then forces her to marry her kidnapper. This union would turn Prue evil, which will spread from her to Piper, Phoebe and the Book of Shadows (which she then plans to steal). Piper and Phoebe give in very easily, and the Elders revoke Leo's assignment- claiming that they have relinquished their right to a Whitelighter. When he interrupts during an interrogation, enabling Dantalion to steal the Book of Shadows, Piper and Phoebe kill him. Cole comes back, but Phoebe wants nothing to do with him, until she realises that he can help her get Prue back- which he does without any promise that he can become Phoebe's boyfriend again. When evil Phoebe tells Cole that she will be with him as an evil couple, Cole refuses; insisting that evil cannot love and they will only have a chance if they are both good. This little revelation later enables Piper and Phoebe to vanquish the warlock (Zile) and Dantalion, bringing Prue back to their side and restoring good to their family line. Vanquishing Zile breaks Prue's bond with him and reversed all the evil the sisters commited, thus saving Leo and allowing the Elders to assign him back to the sisters.

Meanwhile, Phoebe tells Cole that she can't be with him because he is innately evil. Although heartbroken, he tells her that he is not going to give up.

He and Prue shimmer to the Old West to save Bo and Phoebe.

Meanwhile, Victor finds out the hard way that Leo is a whitelighter. Given his past issues with whitelighters (namely, one Sam Wilder), he is furious with Leo and upset with Piper for not telling him sooner.

3.15: Just Harried

Piper and Leo's big day arrives. Everyone they love is there: Grams, Victor, Prue, Phoebe, Patty, Darryl... even Cole. The only problem is that Prue's ID takes on a life of its own in the form of Prue's astral self. She projects out when Prue is sleeping and heads to a bar where she hangs out with a guy named TJ. This wouldn't have been a problem if Prue hadn't been left extremely tired by it, and if some guy had framed Astral Prue for murder. This wrecks Piper's wedding and convinces her that she is not meant to be with Leo. Well placed words from Victor and Patty convince her otherwise. Meanwhile, Phoebe tries to bring Astral Prue and Real Prue back together and Cole, Leo and Darryl hunt down the real killer.

3.16: Death Takes A Halliwell

Piper and Leo attend a party 'up there', where all of Leo's friends are excited to meet the new Mrs Wyatt, and Phoebe and Cole face the Seekers- demonic lie detectors who are trying to track Cole down, and killing anyone who may be in relation to him... which sets the SFPD after him as well.

The sisters also flash back to the days leading up to Grams' death and Phoebe's departure.

3.18: Sin Francisco

The sisters and Leo are affected by four of the Seven Deadly Sins. Piper's gluttony causes her to become obsessed with shopping and induglence; Phoebe's lust causes her to almost... you know... with her ethics professor- which gets her kicked out of the class; Prue's pride causes her to constantly jump into harms way, thinking that she will always prevail; and Leo's sloth is preventing him from actually trying to help his family before they are driven to self destruction. An act of selfless-ness saves Leo, Piper and Phoebe- whic allows them to track down Prue and save her from doing anything really stupid (like throwing herself into a pit instead of trying to kill the demon who took her).

3.19: The Demon Who Came In From The Cold

Cole and Phoebe come across a member of the Brotherhood of the Thorn... which Cole used to be a member of. The Brotherhood is planning to make a merger go forward so that they can take over all businesses and spread evil that way. Cole volunteers himself to go undercover to take down the Thorn. The plan works out until his old mentor shows up and tries to kill him.

3.20: Exit Strategy

Cole's mentor, Raynor, now knows that Cole is good and is planning to destroy what is keeping him that way- Phoebe's love for him. He sends him to steal a powerful amulet from a low level witch. Cole warns Phoebe about what Raynor is doing, planting the first seed of suspicion in her heart. When Raynor casts a spell on Cole (and tells him that he'll get his father's soul back when he does what he is told), causing him to kill the witch that Phoebe and her sisters are meant to be protecting, Phoebe tells Cole to go away- that he will always be evil- and destroys the power stripping potion that he had asked her to make for him. Cole, heartbroken over Phoebe and pi$$ed at Raynor, kills his mentor.

Meanwhile, Piper gains the power to blow things up at will, and kills a demon with it.

3.21: Look Who's Barking

Phoebe covers up her grief over Cole by constantly adding to the Book of Shadows, warning future generations of him. Piper is still trying to control her new power and locks herself in her room. When a banshee attacks a man in their neighbourhood, and Phoebe receives a premonition of a future attack, the sisters cast a spell to track it down... turning Prue into a dog. The sisters saved their innocent, but lose Prue when she follows the banshee and gets hit by a car. The banshee senses Phoebe's pain and attacks her- but instead of dying, Phoebe becomes a demonic screamer as well. Piper and Leo try to track her down before she kills someone. Piper summons Cole, knowing that if he tells Phoebe that he loves her, she will return to normal. When Cole refuses to help, Piper tries to vanquish him... but it doesn't work because Cole had an alchemist transmute his blood so that he'd be immune to the potion. Banshee Phoebe tunes in to Cole's pain for her and attacks him. Cole finally confesses that he loves Phoebe, and she returns to normal, and restoring Prue to her human form. Phoebe decides that she made a mistake by giving up on Cole.

3.22: All Hell Breaks Loose

Prue and Piper expose themselves as witches on TV when they vanquish a demon in the street... not knowing that a news crew was nearby and caught the whole thing on tape. The media circus appears on their lawn, but they cannot do anything as Phoebe is in the Underworld trying to save Cole. Leo goes down to bring Phoebe back, but warns Prue and Piper that if something goes wrong he won't be able to hear them. Underestimating the neurotic wiccan who kept trying to break into the house is a huge mistake, which everyone discovers when Alice aims a gun at the Manor and shoots... hitting Piper in the back. When Leo doesn't respond to Prue's yells, she attempts to drive Piper to the hospital... and is forced to use her powers on the media when they stupidly stand in front of the car asking 'what happened?' (well, some moron just shot at the house, and Prue's sister is now in the car's backseat, bleeding her guts out- what do you think happened?!!!!). Piper dies in the hospital. Phoebe, Leo and Cole find out about Piper's death when the Source agrees to turn back time if Phoebe becomes evil... only because it would be the only way to save one of her sisters. Phoebe agrees, and the Source enlists Tempus to reverse time... just before Prue herself is shot by the SWAT team. The battle with Shax in the morning resumes again except, this time, Phoebe is not there to read the spell. Shax attacks and then leaves the Manor, leaving Prue, Piper and their innocent on the brink of death.

4.01: Charmed Again pt1

Piper and Phoebe are in despair over losing Prue, and Inspector Cortez- who is constantly questioning them about Prue's and Dr Griffeth's death- is not helping at all. At Prue's funeral, Phoebe meets a young woman, who she recognises but cannot place her face, and receives a premonition of her being killed by Shax. When she and Cole go to rescue her, they find that she can orb. The Elders don't know about her, but Cole finds out that the Source thinks that this girl is the key to reconstituting the Power of Three. After a conversation with Grams and Patty, Piper and Phoebe find out that this girl, Paige Matthews, is the secret child of Patty and her whitelighter... making her their half sister. The Charmed Ones are reconstituted when Paige arrives at the Manor, and Shax attacks them. The Power of Three triumphs and Shax is vanquished, but a horrified Paige flees.

4.02: Charmed Again pt2

The Source, knowing that Paige is reluctant to become part of the Halliwell family, uses a mythological window. This window of 48 hours allows a nascent witch to choose to work his/her magic for good or evil. The Source possesses Paige's boyfriend and a client from Social Services to seduce Paige into using her powers for evil. Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe are trying to save Paige from a lifetime of evil while still coming to terms with losing Prue and discovering another sister. Paige comes close to becoming evil but joins her sisters when the Source tries to kill Phoebe. The window closes and the Source admits that he will try a lot harder... also that 'Belthazor' is dying outside Social Services. Thanks to Leo and Paige, Cole is healed completely.

Cortez puts the sisters under surveillence, convinced that because of their involvement in the supernatural they are suspects for the murder of Prue Halliwell and Dr Griffeths. Cole's solution doesn't help: he shimmers Cortez into the Underworld- hoping to save Piper and Phoebe from exposure- and doesn't free him until Leo forces him to. When Leo heals Cortez after the Source attacks him, he finally accepts that the Halliwells are not evil and turns the evidence over to Darryl.

4.03: Hell Hath No Fury

Paige is getting closer to Phoebe, although Piper is a lot more brittle and is too consumed with killing demons to get to know her new sister and teach her the craft. Their relationship becomes even more strained when Paige takes the Book of Shadows and casts several spells... one of which increases her chest size as a backfire for trying to teach a slimebag she works with a lesson.

Meanwhile, Piper's unexpressed anger towards Prue's death allows her to fall prey to the Furies, who are demonic vigilantes which lure her into their fold.

Official Episode Photography

Leo finally gains the courage to start working his way back to being a proper Elder once more. That's not all- an FBI agent has come to town by request of Inspector Sheridan, and it seems to be that Agent Brody- to Darryl's shock- knows more about Chris and the sisters than Sheridan could imagine... although he doesn't seem to want to help her.

A human-demon hybrid called Sirk has been advised by a Seer (guest star Charisma Carpenter) that he must kill all his human relatives in order to become a full demon. However, Paige casts a protection spell on Sirk's target- which prevents him from dying despite all injuries. This earns the sisters a visit from an Angel of Death, who tells them that because this man cannot die, no one else can either. The sisters refuse to reverse the spell so Death does it himself... and takes Piper too.

The Elders suspect Leo of killing Zola, which make him a prime suspect in the latest attacks- especially since the newest victim was supposed to be the Charmed Ones' new whitelighter. However, when the sisters set up a trap to find out who these monsters are,  they are shocked to find out who the real culprits are.

Meanwhile, the Avatars are back to finish what they started and they're after the most powerful being that is floating in between good and evil. Two years ago, it was Cole Turner... now it's Leo Wyatt.

However, a sting set up with Brody's guardian as bait backfires when Sarpedon takes Paige's instead... making her extremely accident prone. She isn't willing to sit at the sidelines though- especially when Sarpedon kidnaps Brody.

Paige and Brody find themselves in a "dicks" noir film, and Paige is powerless to get them out.

While she slowly begins to accept, Phoebe and Paige are untrusting and enlist Brody's help. Unfortunately, he takes it too far...

7.10: Witchness Protection

The Avatars force Leo to protect the Seer (Charisma Carpenter) from the demons of the Underworld, and also the most powerful demon since the Source (and Cole): Zankou. She falls under the protection of the sisters, and Phoebe becomes very close to her. The Seer- also known as Kira- allows Phoebe to see the vision she saw regarding the Avatars... showing a future free of demons and evil in general. Piper takes it well, and Leo takes that as his cue to reveal that he is one of them. Paige, doesn't take it very well, and sides with Kyle despite that he's revealed that he has put Sheridan in a mental institute.

Phoebe is still suspicious of Kyle, and Darryl helps her by investigating him- also discovering that Sheridan has been unjustly locked away.

7.11: Ordinary Witches

Piper and Phoebe accidently send their powers into innocents when a power switching spell is interrupted by a demonic attack. Meanwhile, Paige and Kyle travel back in time to find out who murdered his parents and find celerity demons to be the culprits... not the Avatars. However, it doesn't convince him that the Avatars are not a threat.

The sisters help the Avatars cast the spell to help create the New World, which sends the whole world into slumber so that they can take out and remaining demons- especially Zankou. Zankou, however, has other plans and uses Kyle's hatred of the Avatars to get rid of them. Kyle infects the sisters with paranoia long enough to lure an Avatar other than Leo- Beta- into the open and uses the potion to kill one. His plan succeeds, but kills him in the process.

Paige, who's desperate to keep him alive, tries to get the Avatars to reverse time- although they respond by putting the sisters through the transformation ahead of schedule. The New World transformation becomes complete, but Zankou is determined to change it back.

Paige is shocked to find that the newest applicant for a teacher at Magic School turns out to be an ex-demon.

The only problem is that the sorceror wants Drake's powers, and he tries to bring out his inner demon... although it backfires and makes Drake believe he's Robin Hood.

7.15: Show Ghouls

Darryl enlists the help of the sisters when he comes across a mental patient- his old mentor- that he believes to be possessed. The man claims to have been in a fire at Cabaret Fantome... which has been closed for decades.

7.16: The Seven Year Witch     *CHARMED'S 150TH EPISODE*

The Elders finally come to a decision on how to deal with Leo. Coming to the conclusion that he has lost his way, the Elders strip Leo of his powers and memory and drop him off somewhere in Texas: if he finds Piper no matter what, he'll become human and stay with his family but, if he doesn't, he'll become a full Elder and he'll never see his family again. Meanwhile, Piper falls into a coma due to the after effects of a demonic attack, and Drake convinces Phoebe and Paige to track down Leo as he is the only one who can save her. With Darryl's help, the sisters try to track down Leo and try to beat Odin (a head Elder) into convincing Leo where he belongs.

In Piper's coma, she finds herself trapped in limbo with someone she least expected. Cole Turner (special guest star Julian McMahon) is sentenced to spend eternity in limbo paying penance for the evils he did in life. He convinces Piper to trust him, and helps her to bring Leo home, knowing that seeing Piper and Leo reunite will help revive Phoebe's faith in love. Another person trying to do the same is Drake, who is using his last day of life to convince Phoebe that love is worthwhile.

Concerned about Wyatt, the sisters cast a spell to understand him, accidently bringing Wyatt's future self (guest star Wes Ramsay) into the present.

Zankou and a group of demons have taken over the Manor and are trying to get the nexus again and, this time,  Zankou has the Book of Shadows. Meanwhile the sisters are hidden away at Magic School, trying to find away to defeat Zankou . They seek the help of a vampire queen, and offer her a deal... only to be double crossed later. It seem that Zankou knows their every move.

On top of that, Sheridan has a personal vendetta against the Charmed Ones for all the cops who've been lost... but she is not the only one. Another agent has been investigating them for a long time, they have been working along with Agent Brody, and were the ones who told him to put Sheridan in a coma.

Season 8 of Charmed is set to air September 2005 in the US. It's not known yet when the rest of the world will get to see it, but I'm guessing early 2006 for people in the UK with access to LivingTV.
