Piper: My favorite Charmed episodes are nearly always the ones that focus on Piper, and this was no exception.

She still seems to be struggling with balancing her magickal life versus her “normal” life, but this episode helped her work out those issues and realize that her number one priority is Wyatt. I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to raise a baby, let alone raise such a powerful, magickal baby, and now he has the added powers of Excalibur.

We saw again the other members of the magickal community, and I am still wondering why we can see the fairy. In “Once upon a time” the sisters could only see the fairies by using the fairy dust, but ever since that episode, it seems that there is no need for fairy dust.

Holly Marie Combs was awesome in this episode. Her “Oh, crap” line was priceless; I loved the delivery. Later in the episode, when Mordaunt stabbed her, it looked so realistic, and the shocked look on her face gave me a jolt.

Why oh why are Piper and Leo not together? I really hope the writers are leading up to something good with this plot. The looks that Piper and Leo were exchanging at the end of the episode were so longing that I was screaming at my television for them to get back together. And I can’t remember, are Elders supposed to feel others’ pain, or was that special for Leo and Piper?

Paige: I was so glad to see Richard again, and hope that he and Paige stay together. I’m curious about Richard’s powers. What was he doing to the sink, and what other powers might he have? I hope we get some answers in coming episodes.

The sisterly bonding that had been missing from the rest of the season made a visit with Paige and Phoebe in this episode, even though at first it was negative.

I’m not sure if Paige got a progression in her powers or if she could always orb objects to places without seeing where they went, but it was really funny that she kept crashing the rock into furniture.

Phoebe: Nosy nosy! Phoebe just can’t seem to keep her nose out of Paige’s business! She seemed to be genuinely concerned, however, and although many may be wondering why she should be so concerned since she married a demon, but I think her concern stems from the fact that she did marry a demon, and the results of that marriage on her life. I did wonder, though, why Phoebe didn’t read Richard’s emotions. I also wonder what Phoebe meant when she said that the last time Richard used magick, he lost it. If I am remembering correctly, the last time he used magick, he thought his mother had been killed, and I don’t think even then that he lost it. If I had an assistant like Paige, I would have never let her go! She had Phoebe’s papers and schedule organized in one day. I really liked the scene where Phoebe apologized to Paige. I hope that Phoebe keeps a good attitude to Richard for future episodes.

It’s all in the details: Everyone in this episode had the best hair I have ever seen. Since Piper has had awesome hair since the beginning of time, I won’t go into details. Phoebe’s hair looks so much better fluffed up. I’m not a fan of super short hair for women, but when she spikes it up a little it looks really cute. Even Richard had good hair; I like his hair much better now that he has cut it.

Piper looked awesome in that black costume!

Where was Chris? There was hardly any mention of him, other than he has apparently been taken off the Charmed Ones’ “account.” The neighbors must be terrified of the sisters. What would you think if you saw a dwarf hustle out of there like that?
