Recap / Charmed 2018 S 2 E 3 Careful What You Witch For

Go To

Macy heads to San Francisco to rescue a witch; Mel and Harry visit the Astral Plane for help translating the Book of Elders; Maggie and a coworker vie for a new job at SafeSpace.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Art Initiates Life: The Astral Plane looks like a painting.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The Book of Elders blasts Macy away when she tries to touch it, since it's warded against anything demonic. Later, it does the same thing to Abigael, exposing her part-demon nature.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Abigael claims to be the daughter of a witch and a demon.
  • Mind Control: Maggie resorts to using this on the interviewer at SafeSpace to get the new job she wants.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Maggie gets this after realizing she screwed over Jordan by using a spell for an unfair advantage, since he can't afford the rent anymore and has to close down his shop.
  • Mythology Gag: Macy visits San Francisco, where the original Charmed show took place.
  • Secret Test of Character: Mel realizes she's in one on the Astral Plane, to see whether she would make an innocent person suffer to get her powers back. Apparently jumping off a building passes the test.
