* "Sympathy for the Demon" gives us a double-whammy when Barbas reveals Phoebe's greatest fear isn't losing a sister anymore, it's becoming evil. It gives perspective on why she's so eager to move on from Cole, because she's terrified of giving into evil again. It also counts when you realize why Phoebe's greatest fear isn't losing a sister: she already has.

** And then there's how the Source cruelly resorts to {{Gaslighting}} in the CuckooNest, making her believe she never was a witch and doesn't even have sisters. She knew it was a spell at first and tried her best to escape, but the Source slowly broke her in a way that's just heartbreaking. She sounds so defeated as she tells the real Phoebe and Paige "I don't have sisters".
** The way the Source uses Prue to manipulate her as well. In this reality, Prue isn't dead and just recovered from mental illness and left the hospital. The Source uses that to twist the knife and make Piper think she could possibly see Prue again if she gave up her magic.
** A small moment is when the alternate reality Paige says that Piper has always compared her to Prue. Piper looks stunned as she says "I've never said that". In real life, Piper would never compare Paige to Prue - in fact, only being cold to her at first because she was afraid of opening up to someone new - so the idea that Paige would think she does probably hurts.

** Also notable is that Phoebe is shown as not merely rebellious, but an aloof delinquent who rebuffs any attempt by the others at friendliness. The last interaction she ever had with her grandmother was rejecting her offer to join her and Piper in making a cake together so she could go out. When she finds her at the bottom of the stairs however, she becomes almost a scared little girl. And afterwards, she bitterly talks about how Grams was "the glue", and knows the other two don't want to put up with her much longer.
** The way Piper goes to pieces stings as well, as she cries to Prue that she doesn't know how to deal with all the unpleasant legal stuff - doctors, lawyers, funeral arrangements. She sounds so heartbroken as she talks about the service.

** The previous night, where Piper is up until four in the morning trying in vain to find a way to revive Prue. She's desperate to find a meaning and a reason in it, and Phoebe's subsequent words highlight just how unfair death can be.

** While Cole is presented as the episode's villain, there is a moment of pathos for him when he realises that he and Phoebe are miserable in the alternate timeline. He sounds so defeated at the idea that their love just couldn't work out.

** Harriet the innocent goes through a lot in that episode too. Her husband is killed by his cousin, and she obviously knows the cousin well enough to recognise him. She's also just found out she's pregnant, and the demon targets her for that because the unborn baby has to die for his plan to be complete.

** The way Christy manipulates Billie in this simple exchange is just plain sick. Billie is the one trying to find a non-lethal way of stopping the Charmed Ones, and Christy emotionally blackmails her into feeling guilty for not wanting Wyatt and Chris to become orphans.

* The Magical Community turning on the sisters in "Gone With the Witches". Especially the nymph who was their strongest defender when the leprechauns were trying to discredit them; she looks so devastated at the idea that the Charmed Ones wouldn't help them.
