Episode Report Card Demian: B | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Charmed Again, Part The Second
By Demian | Season 4 | Episode 2 | Aired on 2001.10.04
Long bonding short, Shane dumped Rose, and the only thing she appears to have in common with Piper and Phoebe at this point in their relationship is a shared sense of loss at Prue's death. Rose voices this sense in such a touching manner, Piper and Phoebe decide to drag her back to the house to "show [her] what good magic can do." Up in the attic, they arrange the large blue candles in a circle on the floor; then Phoebe and Piper recite the summoning spell used twice in the first half of this episode. Swirling Cloud Of Glowing Golf Balls, and it's Finola! Hi, Finola. Introductions are made. Finola the Spirit becomes Finola Incarnate and pulls Rose into a long, strong embrace. Rose gets a little emotional. Finola steps back, clasps Rose's hands in her own, and stresses, "Welcome home." Piper and Phoebe get a little emotional. Finola pulls Rose into another embrace, stroking her hair while flashing that rack of teeth at the camera. The last shot is of Rose in her dead mother's arms, moving through a little emotional into full-on verklempt as tears roll down her cheeks and I remain unmoved and we all fade to black.
I'd like to tell you what to expect next week on Charmed, but the WGN news cut into the WB feed before we got to the previews in Chicago. I've heard it has something to do with breasts. Go figure.
