"Great Show Brad Kern" is the only way I can begin his review. This episode was on the fastrack. It was a never ending ride of suspense, as Piper and Leo moved from time to time, picking up passages (Patty and Penny) as they went. One of my most favorite moments was when Piper saw Leo after discovering that Phoebe and Paige had been killed. It just seemed all of the life of determination returned when she saw Leo standing there with the Angel of Destiny. It was a heart wrenching moment when Victor found out about the death of the sisters and the surprised look when he saw Leo walk through his front door. Poor Victor was going to get many surprises in this episode.

   I laughed through tears when Piper and Leo showed up in 1975 in her parents' bedroom and again when Grams passed out from sheer shock of finding Patty standing in front of her and not in the ghostly manner. How the writers and Brad Kern pulled this show together with everyone involved was nothing short of genius. I must stay one of the best scenes was when Chris and Wyatt orbed in. It was great seeing these two act out sibling rivalry. What fun when Wyatt exclaimed "Uncle Coop" after Coop showed up and the smile that creped upon his face at the possibility of a future with Phoebe. The cast just interacted so well with one another you could tell after eight years of working together that they had become a family. A most mentionable part was when Piper, Leo and Patty went to the future and you see senior Piper and Leo playing scrabble. Still the love showed through with these actors playing an older Piper and Leo. Letting the younger couple know that everything they had been through was well worth the fight. I have recorded this episode and have viewed it several times, enjoying as if it were the first. I thought my heart would have jump in my throat when I saw the Angel of Destiny take Leo back. I began to tear up and was asking the TV why, why again, as if it would answer me. I kept my hopes high and prayed that this ending would not be disappointing. When the final battle had be won by our victorious Charmed Ones and Billie had to vanquish Christie, it was a very sad scene to see Billie collapse to the floor in horror at what she had to do.

   All of my fears came to an end, when everyone began to arrive back at the manor and Leo returned. I screamed with joy at the outcome and with astonishment that I have never loved a show more in my entire life than I had this one. I have watched it faithfully from the day it had aired in October of 1998. The most memorable scene of all, was when the Charmed Ones where telling about the history of there lives and how they turned out. You could not have asked for a better ending of how they girls all each had found everlasting love and three children each. I guess the power of three, three times over was a nice touch. To see the sisters with their perspective husbands and children was like sharing their lives with them and letting us know how each sister overcame their fears and was able to experience their dreams. Piper finally opening her own restaurant, Phoebe writing the best seller and Paige helping future witches and white lights. Each sister doing what they had always wanted to accomplish. The tears of joy poured down my face as I watched Leo and Piper climb the stairs of the manor as they passed pictures of family over the years. Then to have Piper's grandchild use her power to close the manor doors for the last time was an ending that the fans could say their goodbyes to.

   As I sit in front of my laptop trying to determine on how I will write this final review of a beloved show ending. I don’t truly know if this is a review or a tribute to an Icon that gave as well as received. It showed the fans how to believe in something that was not real. To always have hope and achieve your highest goals and desires. As I watched this final episode unfold, I knew that Brad Kern had kept his word about giving the fans a finale that they could be proud of and well deserved. I am finding it difficult to write such things because I know that this is an end of an era. Charmed became a friend that you grew to love and now will miss. Even though we have the technology of VHS and DVD, along with syndication to continuously see are cast of great actors. It isn’t the same. We know that things must come to an end that is how life continues to evolve and how we grow. This episode was everything and more. It was wonderful to see all cast members hugging at the end. It was sad not to see two of it’s members Prue and Cole, but at least Prue had an honorable mention and I like to thing Cole had something to do with Phoebe finding love again.

  It is with a full heart of sorrow that we say goodbye to such a wittily, strong, humorous and lovingly dedicated group of people. It is hard to believe such things are ending, but it was an ending to beat all endings. This show had all of the wonderful aspects of good writing and especially great acting. Perhaps we will see a future with Wyatt and Chris, now that would make a great spin off, but that is another story, for another time…..

  I like to think I speak for all fans when I say thank you for letting us be a part of your Charmed Family. It was a spell binding eight years. Brad Kern has properly named this finale, for the Sisters, Leo, and the Storylines will always be FOREVER CHARMED.........
