When Paige and Phoebe summon Grams for Chris' Wiccaning, Grams puts a spell on the children to try to end their sibling rivalry, but instead it reverts the sisters back to bickering teenagers. Meanwhile Phoebe, still acting like a teenager, attends an award ceremony with Les, and Leo consults a demonic seer to find out who is behind the attack on Wyatt.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)Sibling Rivalry
I like these big family episodes, especially when Patty is involved. The banter is knife-sharp and it's great fun listening to Penny and Victor scoring points off each other. The occasion this time is Chris's wiccaning, despite the little mite being about as magical as a loaf of bread.
For all the family members, however, this is very much a Wyatt based episode. The main plot sees him getting sulky over the attention heaped on Chris. To stop them quarrelling, Penny casts a spell which (shock!) backfires and shifts their rivalry onto the sisters. At the same time, Wyatt also has to contend with a mysterious masked demon, which leads his father to consult a demonic seer.
Having the Charmed Ones turn into bickering teenagers is an interesting idea but ends up being rather annoying, despite some good acting. I'm so glad they decided to reverse the spell. I also don't get why Penny thinks Leo is evil. Surely killing someone who is trying to murder your son would make you a hero? She has killed countless demons to protect the sisters so what's the difference?
The guest actress playing the seer is very good and adds a real sparkle to the role. Hope she sticks around.
Having the 'demon' turn out to be Leo is a good twist and all the more so because Wyatt has conjured him. I think it's a bit much that a two year old is blaming himself over his parents splitting up but there you go.
Overall, it's a decent hour with some good one liners and some interesting twists. I just wish they'd skipped all that squabbling. Score: 8.8
Paige and Phoebe summon Grams in order to help them for Chris's wiccaning. But Wyatt is unhappy, and he is being stalked and haunted by a demon, whose identity remains unknown. Leo is the first one to know the demon, but he is shocked because he is actually himself. Grams panics and afraids of Leo doing something harmful to Chris. Good episode, especially after the very disappointing episode "A Call to Arms", "Centennial Charmed"...Not the best episode in this series, also not the worst episode in this series. I like this episode, but just not too much about Leo. I don't like the story about Leo too much.
of what the Charmed ones were like as kids! hide show
Grams accidentaly turn Phoebe, Piper, and Paige into arguing teenagers. Number three in my top fav funny episodes of Charmed! I loved seeing them out of character like that. Piper teasing Pheebs about her liking Leslie, made me laugh and so did Grams talking about robbing the craddle. I think it was nice for Victor and Patty too, because they weren't around too much when they were growing up. My favorite part was when they all saw Patty and ran towards her screaming mommy. With the way they carried on, I would've hated being their mommy! Makes me wonder what Prue was like as a pre-teen?
Despite the weird beginning, the episode gets better with the moment! And finish with a perfect story and bringing a calid family feeling. Cool off-screen job aswell hide show
If you see it... It seems a stupid episode that is meant just to do the girls act like little ones. Anyway, if you delete the whole part of the spell with still have a fantastic episode, with the starring of their parents and Grams. It's like a family episode with so many changing that has a good result:
The story of the girls acting like children is strange at first but at the end has some good results. It seems just a way to make us laugh, tecnicaly it is, it's a personal gain spell that they never would have done! It's too much obvious that it was gonna backfire! Anyway the story gets better as the episode continues. The thing of the girls being little girls is a reason to bring a expledid family feeling! You feel as they are a family again with Victor and patty there. It's a great idea to do that. And it's so great have a episode with the work of the family. I love the scenes with Victor-Grams and Victor-Patty. The demon was original this week. It's not the freaky tipic bas demon that we are use to see in some episodes. It's a great idea, that plays with our minds, making the episode a episode that you have to follow (For exemple, Leo's face in the Seer thing) It's a good way to make a "weird" story that is changing through the hour (like a book)
The camera job, the photography, the effects and the acting make the episode so remarkable. The filming use a lots of big planes that show big rooms in cold tones making the audience feel the house bringing that way a great familiar theme. The effects were great! The idea of the strange demons things that attack Wyatt and the fight LEO/LEO in Magic school was a good job. The music was cool in the episode, bringing out the spirit of the children xd
For all those things I think that the episode is a 9 one. Not perfect, but a good one. Anyway, if you don't like the idea of the girls as children, you have to think that the episode has a lots of great moments and a good story despite that.
Yay the family reunited! hide show
Grams, Patty and Victor are all in this episode, their little tiffs are entertaining and it was nice to see them all together again!
The episode involves Wyatt being jealous of chris, and paige summoning grams for chris's wiccaning which piper does not want.
Grams casts a spell to stop the boys fighting, but it accidently causes the girls to take the minds of their teenage selves, which is actually pretty funny. Throughtout the episode a masked demon keeps trying to steal wyatt and at the end they discover it is wyatt, having nightmares about leo. This is all resolves and Leo seems a bit normal again!
