As we saw from the season finale last year, Chris came from the future with unknown reasons throwing the entire Charmed world into mysterious questions. Was he really Wyatt from the future? Was he there to help the sisters or hurt them? Why did he have such a bad attitude towards Leo? Why did he manipulate himself to be the Charmed sister’s whitelighter?

All of these questions were answered throughout the season, something that the writer’s should take proud credit for. Not only did they reveal a little at a time, but also they made the entire season exciting and interesting by revealing little pieces about Chris at a time. When everyone was finally on the same page that Chris was Leo and Piper’s son, that he was there to keep Wyatt from becoming evil in the future and that he had a reason to be upset at Leo everything made sense.

It was because the audience was introduced and played along with the sisters and Leo about finding out what Chris’ presence in their world was for, that the audience was able to morn with his “passing” in this episode. While it broke Leo’s heart to lose Chris, the audience was right there with Leo and Paige, this only proves that this show has done something in one season that many shows aren’t able to do; create a character that is loathed, understood, loved and mourned all in one season.

The questions that I asked in my last review about Chris seem to have been answered in an indirect manner. Why would Chris come back from the future if Wyatt never became evil? It was strange to see Chris simply disappear, but it would come to reason that Gideon’s killing of Chris allowed Leo to tap into his anger and already put into effect the events that lead to Leo doing an act of ultimate evil, thus restoring the universe. Therefore, Chris disappearing when he did would fall into the thought that he could have really not come back from the future, in a future where Wyatt was not evil. (Understand? If not, I can explain better if asked)

A couple of things were interesting and should probably play out to the continuation of next season concerning Leo and this episode. All season we’ve seen a tougher more hard side of Leo. Seeing Leo’s alternate from another dimension only played upon the fact that Leo can, indeed, be evil when he is trying to protect his family.

This said it does make one question what will happen as repercussions of Leo killing Gideon? It seems likely that Leo will not be an Elder because of his acts, but will he remain a whitelighter? Will the Elders allow him to “live” and be a father, or can they simply take him out of play all together? I mean he did die years ago.

As a consequence of Leo’s actions of performing an ultimate evil, will he have side effects that make him go bad? Will next season, we see a Leo who is suffering from acting out his anger and will it ultimately turn him to the dark side? These are probably questions that will need to be addressed by the writers for next season.

Since it is determined that Wyatt was not held captive long enough by Gideon that he will not become evil, does that mean nothing else will tempt or put Wyatt towards the evil side? The biggest mystery that seems to come out of this episode is the fact that there are some Elders that agreed with Gideon’s thoughts on destroying Wyatt since he has too many powerful powers for any witch or wizard. Will there be a division of Elders that decide to defect and form their own sect against Wyatt and the Charmed Ones?

What other types of consequences will occur since the future has been changed? Will other demons, such as Barbas come after Wyatt knowing that he can be turned bad?

The biggest question that the audience was left with seems to be, now what? While we all know that the series was picked up for another two years, it would almost seem like this episode would have been the ideal place to leave off with the Charmed Ones Saga. With the knowledge that Wyatt was not going to be evil, Piper had given birth to a health Chris, Leo was going to be looking out for his family and both Phoebe and Paige were good aunts, if you will a “Happily Ever After” ending. So the question begging to be asked…now what? Well fellow Charmed viewers we can only sit back and know that it will be very good, very good indeed.
