Teenage angst(s)

Warning: Spoilers
We finally get to see the infamous pre-Charmed Phoebe, but it feels very overdone. Piper has already had a similar high school reunion years ago, and both Prue and Paige have been sent back to their respective teenage years. So hopefully that particular plot is over with now. On the good side, Chris's various family issues create rather nice scenes. This may be the first time that he really shows his feelings, first to his grandfather then about his mother. I also like the Scabbar demons ; nobody seems to really care about them, but they keep popping up at the worst moments, and I really appreciate the unexpected twist at the end, that allows the sisters to kill two birds with one stone.

Fun Episode Warning: Spoilers
This is a really fun episode of Charmed. A Demon is after Chris, Piper is worried that Chris hates her, Phoebe is going to her high school reunion with Paige. Some things were said to Phoebe and BAM she's a teenager again. And all things that apply to being a teenager. Just this time around, she has her adult witch powers. One of her friends is in jail and so Phoebe and two of her friends go and visit him.

In the mean time Piper is paranoid with the fact that Chris may hate her. So she calls Victor and he comes to visit. He takes Chris to dinner and tries to find out why Chris has this thing with Piper. Chris reassures him that he does love his mom but he doesn't want to get close because in his time she died when he was 14.

The friend of Phoebe wants to steal money out of those Dunbar money trucks so he asks Phoebe to use magic to get it on fire. Phoebe takes her friend back to the manor and he wants a new face so she gives him Chris' face. The demons show up who wanted Chris and they kill Phoebes friend because they thought it was Chris.

It's a really good episode. One of my favorites from Season 6.

Phoebe the teenage witch
Realrockerhalloween3 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Hyde school reunion focuses on Phoebe yet doesn't do a good job in showing is her teenage years. She castes a spell turning into her old self yet doesn't show us flashbacks or full in the blanks the trouble she use to get into. It seems like she goes through the motion of the script and trying to hard to be bad. Teenage Phoebe has all the power at her exposed yet only uses them to turn her adult class mate's into teenager and break her old friend out out of prison. Chris on the other hand has the more interesting story spending time with Victor and trying to avoid demonic bounty hunters. His emotion over how great Victor will be after his mother's death feels genuinely sad and eating him up inside. Victor even acts like a concerned father wanting details on how his little girl meets her end and how to be a better grandfather to their children which I found sweet.

The only aspect that bothered me was when they set the bounty hunters after Chris to Ricks who's taken the witches hostage and give him his face. That act alone should've turned them into warlocks or face a penalty for using personal gain. It doesn't sit well with me that continuation was ignored to make this episode have a rushed ending.
