Episode Report Card Demian: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Charmed Again, Part The Second
By Demian | Season 4 | Episode 2 | Aired on 10.03.2001
Phoebe immediately drops, and Piper, Rose, and the Dolt rush to get her on her feet. The little monster blazes out into The Shource, who then pops to his own feet via that little reversing-the-film thing that worked so well before. Not. At this point, the WGN feed lost the picture for a moment, but from the sound of things, The Source clawed his way out of Shane's body. When the picture reappears, The Source is standing in front of the much-abused grandfather clock, which is chiming midnight. The Source vows to "break the Charmed Ones" again in the future as he did in the past, and notes that his mission wasn't a complete failure "thanks to Belthazor." Before they can find out what he means by all that, the Mummy enters the Manor unannounced, video camera in hand. The Source, much to my delight, flings the Mummy up and back against the wall, impaling him on a coat hook. See? The Source of All Evil isn't so bad, after all. The Mummy dangles from the hook for a moment before falling onto the carpet, leaving behind a surprising amount of gore. The Source blazes back to Hell. The Charmed and the Dolt run to the Mummy's side. Once there, the Dolt applies the special Whitelighter tingly touch to the gaping wound in the Mummy's back. Though we don't see it, I'm certain the Dolt has healed the various layers of clothing as well. The Charmed and the Dolt then flee the Manor in search of Cole, leaving the Mummy to shudder and gasp and check to make sure he got everything on tape.
SOUTH BAY SOCIAL SERVICES. Cole lies mortally wounded yet conscious on the ground, despite the fact that it's now midnight, which means he's been there at least six hours because it was daylight when The Shource ran him through with the sword and there had to have been hundreds of people passing by since six in the evening and whatever, I'm going to finish this damn recap if it kills me. Which it might. Phoebe cuddles Cole's head in her lap. Piper takes stock of the severity of the situation and immediately freezes Cole before he can lose more blood. Phoebe orders the Dolt to heal him. The Dolt claims that "it's against the rules," like, shut up, Dolt. You did it before, you can do it again. Phoebe's all, "Screw the rules. The Elders owe us." The Dolt claims he can heal only Cole's human half, and again, shut up, Dolt. You did that before too and it worked, so just get to it already. Rose steps up to the plate to suggest that the half of her that is Whitelighter might "offset" the half of Cole that is demon and yes, that makes -- in total -- zero sense, but again with the needing to get through this before I die. Rose and the Dolt join hands, and their combined tingly touch heals the wound and knits up Cole's sweater. Rose decides she likes how it feels when she uses her powers to help those in need. Someone shoot me in the head to end the pain.
