5 Best Charmed Episodes That Still Live in Our Heads Rent Free

These days, you can't really surprise viewers with shows about witches and magic. But in 1998, a show about three witch sisters was a breath of fresh air and won the hearts of millions of fans.

1. That ‘70s Episode – Season 1 Episode 17

The best episodes of Charmed have always involved time travel. And That ‘70s Episode is another proof of that. Going back to the 70s was a risky decision given the show's limited budget, but the central story more than made up for the lack of 70s atmosphere.

That ‘70s Episode focuses entirely on family matters – the sisters' relationships with each other, with younger versions of themselves, and with their mother who died many years ago. This episode is almost devoid of magic, but there is a lot of warmth, love and good memories that evoke a feeling of nostalgia.

2. Morality Bites – Season 2 Episode 2

This time the Halliwell sisters find themselves thrown into the future, where Phoebe is facing the death penalty for using magic. Because of a careless act in the past, the entire world is on a witch hunt, and witchcraft is strictly forbidden.

While Morality Bites is a mind-bending episode in its own right, it also touches on aspects of gray morality – a rare occurrence in a show where good and evil tend to be clearly delineated.

3. We All Scream for Ice Cream – Season 3 Episode 10

Throughout the whole show, the creators of Charmed released special episodes that featured one of the Halliwell sisters as the main character, and in the episode titled We All Scream for Ice Cream, Prue stands almost alone against a new enemy while trying to understand her difficult relationship with her father.

The story revolves around an ice cream truck whose tune only attracts demonic children. By a strange coincidence, the older sister can also hear the mysterious sound. In addition, she has seen this truck in her distant childhood.

4. Chris-Crossed – Season 6 Episode 10

Let's face it, Chris Halliwell, Piper and Leo's youngest son, has not received the recognition he deserves, despite the sheer number of sacrifices he had to make to save his loved ones.

To correct this injustice, we suggest recalling the episode Chris-Crossed. Here, the writers finally show us the terrible future that Chris so desperately wanted to change. In addition, Chris' own past is revealed, as well as the fate of his older brother, Wyatt.

5. The Seven Year Witch – Season 7 Episode 16

We all missed Cole Turner, right? His last goodbye was rather dark, so when he returned for inly one episode The Seven Year Witch, it was enough to delight all the fans. His journey to rebel against the evil part of himself, his desperate struggle, and his gruesome end is one of the most heartbreaking character journeys in the entire series.

The creators of Charmed gave this character another chance to show his human side, correct past mistakes, and prove to everyone his love for Phoebe.
