While I hate that Shannen had to leave the show, especially now that we know the circumstances, I did appreciate that they didn't just sweep her character's death under the rug and keep it moving. And in these first few episodes, Holly's acting is on-point bc she is literally grieving Shannen's presence on the show.

I think the reason why Paige's spells weren't backfiring was because she technically wasn't casting them for herself. She was helping other people and that was it. Plus I think the general rule is as long as your life isn't significantly improved then you may get a pass (Piper freezing people or Prue's telekinesis didn't change too much about their day to day). Paige didn't get punished until she cast a spell for revenge and thus broke the Wiccan Rede about not punishing the guilty. It's one reason I think she's so great; she gets these phenomenal powers and her first instinct isn't "how can I play with them?" But instead "how can I improve the lives of others?" which I don't think would be super common. Even her one 'selfish' spell was against a guy that kinda had it coming but it wasn't magics place to judge him.

I don't know if Cole knew Piper would turn into a Fury, he just saw the claws and knew the Fury had breathed on her and put it together. That's how I always took it anyway

This episode always get me teary eyed for the same reasons you mentioned. Great acting on Holly´s part. Love your reaction as always.

I see you finally boarded the "We Love Holly/Piper" train, welcome! lol Yes, Holly's acting is stellar, and she's just getting started..

The last scene hits so different now and Holly’s act was amazing. How she didn’t win an award for it I’ll never know.
