Despite hating the triangle (like nearly every other Charmed fan on the planet), this episode did portray it in a good way and setting Patty and Sam’s relationship up to contrast against Piper and Leo’s is very effective. Piper’s development in this episode is centred on her relationship with Leo and the triangle she’s involved in with Dan. It was also important in regards to properly introducing Prue to Jack (who is an important influence on her in season 2) and reaffirming that no matter how difficult it is to juggle her personal life, being a witch and her career, she’s still damn good at her job ( x). Again this episode can be perceived as a foreshadowing of Prue’s death, which is so weird since I’m sure at this point there were still no plans to kill her off). This episode is so important for Prue’s development, not just in realising that she’s not Patty and not doomed to follow in her footsteps (although ironically she does die young. We also see her fears of becoming Patty in one of my favourite Prue scenes ever ( x) and see her having to overcome those fears head-on when she has to literally recreate her mother’s final moments. It digs into Prue’s lingering trauma over Patty’s death, and shows us for the first (and only time) that Prue actually witnessed Patty lying dead on the dock and being carried away in a body bag shortly after she died, which explains a little more why Prue is more traumatised by her death than Piper and Phoebe. Honestly, I love pretty much everything about this episode - the way it hammers into Patty’s past, her relationship with Sam, Piper and Leo’s relationship, the sisters’ development and even the tone of the whole episode. P3 H20 is and always has been one of my all time favourite episodes (just like That 70s Episode) because it explores the sisters unresolved grief and trauma regarding Patty’s death. Hellfire, Pardon my Past, Chick Flick and Astral Monkey.Īny episode that taps into the Halliwell family and heavily involves Patty tends to be one of my favourites. Just like for season 1, there are 5 episodes that I have selected from season 2 as being my favourites (by the way, this wasn’t deliberate, it was a total coincidence!) - P3 H20, Ms. This season builds upon the sisters established personalities and roles within the trio from season 1, but fleshes it out more and shows the sisters grow as women, witches and sisters to be more powerful, equal and happy. Prue quits her job at Bucklands to pursue her dream of being a photographer Piper opens P3 and goes through a period of conflict with Dan and Leo Phoebe goes back to college to find a new pathway in her life, and these are just the most significant developmental changes the sisters go through.
However, there’s one thing Charmed does well which we particularly get to see in this season and that’s character development.
#EX LIBERAS CHARMED HOW TO#
When I was younger I particularly loved this season, but the older I’ve got and the more I’ve re-watched the show, the less I’ve come to like it, mostly because it has so many poor episodes that I really don’t like such as The Devil’s Music, That Old Black Magic, They’re Everywhere, How to Make a Quilt out of Americans and Ex Libris. Season 2 overall is a good season and follows on from the first season very well.
