In What Episode Does Phoebe Turn Good Again

Considering Charmed turned 20 this year, we got a lilliputian nostalgic and ranked the series' fifteen greatest episodes.

Airing for viii seasons from 1998-2006, the series starred Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan as sister witches, who apply their combined "Power of Three" to beat demons, warlocks, all evil-dwellers, etc.

At 178 episodes, the show became the longest running hour-long television set series featuring all female person leads (until it was surpassed by Drastic Housewives in 2012) and the second-longest drama broadcast past The WB network.

The show adult a cult following, and is often described by critics equally ane of the most influential television shows of all fourth dimension.

Because of its critical acclaim (and because it was the second well-nigh streamed show of 2012, six years afterwards the finale), Charmed received a reboot by The CW, which aired its first episode on 14 October.

So in celebration of that, and its 20 twelvemonth anniversary, we've ranked the show's fifteen greatest episodes. See below…

15. Something Wicca This Way Comes (1.01)

The offset ever episode of Charmed introduces us to the original three sister witches: Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell. It follows each grapheme as they discover their magical ancestry, and a warlock named Jeremy (too Piper's beau) who aims to steal their powers by gutting them with an athamé. It leads to a fantastic climax where the Charmed Ones obliterate the bounder with "the power of three". Fun fact: at the time, it was watched past 7.7 one thousand thousand viewers and broke the tape for the highest-rated premiere episode in The WB's history.

14. Charmed Over again (4.01)

The fourth flavour premiere is shocking, honestly. The episode's opening scene reveals that Prue, the lead grapheme and most powerful sister, succumbed to her wounds from Shax's attack in the season iii finale. With Prue's death, the Ability of Three is severed. Yet, it turns out that their mother Patty did the hanky panky with Sam – her whitelighter – and had a secret child, which means the Power of Three can be reconstituted. The scandal!

13. Overjoyed and Dangerous (4.13)

After 4 seasons of existence targeted by The Source of All Evil and his minions, the Overjoyed Ones come up face-to-face with their number 1 nemesis for an explosive, action-packed showdown. The Source breaks an age-old agreement to release The Hollow, an aboriginal thingy-majiggy which he uses to steal Piper and Paige's powers. Thanks to Cole, and Phoebe'south powers of levitation and natural martial artists abilities (yas queen!), The Charmed Ones finally vanquish The Source – only not without a price. Cole becomes possessed past the evil entity, which leads to his Underworld takeover. Honestly, the corporeality of twists and turns on this show… Game of Thrones could nevah!

12. That 70s Episode (1.17)

The Power of Three are attacked by a powerful, smug warlock twat called Nicholas, who claims that he made a pact with their mother in commutation for their powers. Dislocated, they travel back in time to the 70s to effort and forbid the pact from taking identify. It'southward a super fun episode, because we larn more about their female parent and their "Grams". Besides, seeing Phoebe kick the crap out of him several times was sooooo much fun to watch.

11. Valhalley of the Dolls (half-dozen.01)

Some fans argue that flavour half dozen is when Charmed lost its magic, but they need to stfu. Valhalley of the Dolls is everything we could ever want from a season premiere: three badass witches dressing up as Valkyries to infiltrate a mythical island called Valhalla to rescue aman? Like, c'mon! Whoever said the Overjoyed reboot is a "feminist have" on the original serial needs to be fired.

x. Long Live the Queen (4.20)

Evil Phoebe saves an innocent from an attack and turns to her sisters for help, who want aught more than than for her to revert back to the adept side. Because of Phoebe's "recklessness", she and Cole must prove their allegiance to the Underworld by killing Piper and Paige. Withal, Phoebe turns on her loved one and vanquishes him, aslope her sisters. It's honestly devastating, and the last scene with all three sisters is heartbreaking to watch. Cole and Phoebe forever! (When neither of them are evil, that is.)

9. Forever Charmed (8.22)

Season eight of Charmed isn't the best. The storyline with Billie and Christie having to murder the sisters because they were using their magic recklessly was honestly and so stupid. Oh, and the whole magical community turning their backs on them aftereverythingthey'd done for them in the past 8 years? Honestly, I could go on. I'yard still fumin'. Still, the series finale was phenomenal. After the deaths of Phoebe and Paige, Piper travels back in time to reverse the tragedy, and receives help from her mother, her Grams, and a grown-upward Chris and Wyatt. Piper ends upwardly saving the day, Billie realises how stupid she was, and the Overjoyed Ones live happily ever after. It's such a tear-jerker.

8. Sympathy for the Demon (5.07)

The Overjoyed Ones' biggest foe, Barbas, returns to San Francisco and tricks Paige into giving him Cole's powers. He so barricades the sisters in the Halliwell manor, and pits them against their darkest fears. It's a fantastic episode because Baton Drago plays Barbas so well, and he ever feels like a genuine threat confronting them. Besides, the sequence in which Phoebe attacks Paige, thinking she'south Barbas, is probably one of the most gut-wrenching moments from the whole series.

7. Pardon My By (2.14)

Another time-travelling episode! Phoebe is attacked by an invisible force, and Leo (because he knows everything) warns her that it'south a point from her by life. So under his communication, Phoebe casts a spell to live her former life in the 1920s, where she finds out she was evil and planning to steal her cousin's powers with her warlock bf Anton. The outfits are great, Alyssa Milano playing an evil biyotch is fantastic, and Greg Vaughan (Dan) in a tux… Oh honey dear honey.

6. Witch Wars (6.21)

Witch Wars is basically Charmed meets Battle Royale. In the episode, the sisters are tricked into competing in a demonic reality show where demon contestants compete to hunt down witches for their powers. It's ill, twisted and fun, and sees a bloodthirsty Phoebe take no fucking prisoners. The scene where she shimmers to the underground and destroys hoards of demons? "Looks your show but got cancelled." All hail Phoebe!

5. Chick Motion picture (two.18)

The Halliwell sisters are targeted by The Demon of Illusion, who uses his powers to send horror movie characters into the real globe. Like, imagine if Michael Myers or Ghostface jumped out of the cinema screen and tried to stab the shit out of yous? HONESTLY. This episode is so good considering the sis's powers are immune against their foes, so they take to use their motion picture knowledge to take them down. I'g starting to sound like a Phoebe stan at present, simply again, she kicks so much ass in this episode. Laurie Strode who? Sidney Prescott who?

4. Deja Vu All Over Again (1.22)

Overjoyed'south showtime season finale sees the debut of time sorcerer Tempus, who creates a fourth dimension-loop to destroy the sisters. The first time around, Phoebe dies. The second fourth dimension around, both Phoebe and Piper dice. Because of Phoebe's powers of premonition, she experiences deja vu and manages to effigy it out each time, which results in a stunning finale where Andy, Prue's kickoff love, sacrifices himself to save them. It's so pitiful.

three. Centennial Charmed (5.12)

The show's 100th episode did not agree back, like, at all. In his twisted try at winning Phoebe back, Cole casts a spell that alters reality to a time where the sisters never met Paige. Because Paige sneezed and orbed at the exact aforementioned moment Cole cast the spell, she is transported into the reality and has to convince a rogue Piper and Phoebe of her origins. After successfully winning over Piper and Leo, they confront Cole, where Phoebe vanquishes Cole for the final fourth dimension. Again, and so sad.

2. Morality Bites (two.02)

In Morality Bites, Phoebe has a premonition of her own execution on death row. To figure out how it happens, the sisters travel to the future for answers. They discover that witch trials have returned, and Phoebe vengefully used her powers to eliminate a famous sports star after he killed her close friend. At the end of the episode, Phoebe accepts her fate, and is burned to decease. Is this the darkest Charmed ever got? Probably.

1. All Hell Breaks Loose (3.22)

Afterwards the sisters are exposed equally witches, Piper is shot and killed. In lodge to contrary the events, the sisters enlist the help of time-travelling demon Tempus, who agrees to their demands on one status: Phoebe stays in the Underworld with The Source and reverts to the nighttime side. When time is reversed, Prue and Piper are attacked by The Source's correct-hand man, Shax, and are left for dead. Information technology'southward quintessential Overjoyed, and is one of the all-time episodes of any fantasy drama ever.
