| About the show For the last three years, the Charmed Ones Piper, Prue and Phoebe have used their magical powers and the family's "Book of Shadows" to save innocent souls and to keep themselves alive while they battle the darkest of evil. Now, this season, the unthinkable has happened: The Power of Three is broken forever when Prue is killed by a demon named Shafts. The remaining Halliwell sisters revive the Power of Three after long-lost sister Paige Matthews is mysteriously drawn to Prue's funeral. Paige, the daughter of the sister's mother and a Whitelighter, possesses the power of telekinesis and the ability to orb in and out of dimensions. The Power of Three began when Prue, Piper, and Phoebe reunite in the Victorian home they all grew up in. While exploring the home's attic, Phoebe found the Book of Shadows. This book of spells was passed down from their grandmother who took care of them after their mother died. Coming from a long line of witches, their grandmother knew that the girl's destiny would bring danger. So, their grandmother bound their powers until they were reunited as women under a full moon. On that mysterious night, Phoebe unwittingly read a spell out loud, and in a blinding flash Prue, Piper and Phoebe were granted supernatural powers. Acquiring their powers as adults meant the sisters were a little rusty with their craft. While perfecting their powers and fighting off evil the sisters learned a lot of everyday, ordinary lessons. Like, never try to use your power for personal gain, revenge, or to punish the guilty. In the Wiccan world, selfish supernatural acts always manage to come back at you in an evil way. Sure, it might be great to have the power to move things, see into the future or freeze time-but at what price? Juggling their supernatural lives with their mortal lives has proved challenging. How can you focus on your career when paintings start to come to life, patrons are turning into animals, and evil is lurking around every corner? Regardless of their supernatural stumbling blocks, somehow the Halliwell sisters have managed to carve out their niche in the working world. Prue was an up-and-coming freelance photographer and Phoebe has traded in her penniless carefree lifestyle for a higher education. Meanwhile, Piper owns and runs a nightclub called P3 that books some great musical guest-star performances. Unfortunately, maintaining a love life in their Wiccan world is also tough, especially if you fall for ghosts and immortal black and white movie characters that come to life. Things can get unusually complicated when a witch and a Whitelighter fall in love. Leo is the Whitelighter for The Charmed Ones, kind of a supernatural mentor and protector. The romance between Leo and Piper defies the rules of the supernatural world, but that doesn't stop them from being together. In season three, Leo and Piper were married. Needless to say, The Charmed Ones have had their doubts. At times the Halliwell sisters have doubted their strength, their ability to do good, or whether having supernatural powers, is all that great. Prue was especially guilt-ridden by her witch status when her boyfriend Andy was killed by a demon while trying to help her. It's almost as if each time they vanquish a demon, save an innocent, or defeat evil the Halliwell sisters gain something. The Halliwell sisters have accepted their role in life. They are The Charmed Ones, protectors of the innocent. Being a witch, they've found, is just a part of who they are. And so begins the next chapter in the lives of the surviving sisters as they search for a way to continue with their lives and strengthen their fragile bond while they continue to vanquish demons. The sisters find a renewed faith in the form of an unexpected revelation: Their half-sister Paige, the one person who could unite the three to their former Wiccan glory. Fighting the fight for the greater good is a deadly occupation, but it is the one that they were born to do. |
