Go To

The Unseen releases a list of people associated with the Charmed Ones; Ruby's evil stepfather returns; Harry meets Macy's and Maggie's father in the Veil; Kaela meets her birth parents.

Tropes

  • Back from the Dead: Somehow, Harry manages to bring Dexter Vaughn, Macy and Maggie's biological father, from the Veil to the realm of the living.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Maggie copies a power that makes her hand secrete a venom which is toxic to humans but harmless to magical beings. Later, she accidentally exposes Kaela's parents to it; when it affects them, Maggie realizes to her horror that they're humans.
  • Doppelgänger Attack: Ruby's stepfather has this power.
  • Forgot About His Powers: When Mel and Ruby try to figure out a way to vanquish Ruby's demonic stepfather, neither of them think of the fact that the Command Center neutralises demon powers, which would make vanquishing a demon who can duplicate easier.
  • It Only Works Once: The Charmed Ones make magical protection dolls that bring a chosen person back from the dead, but only once per person.
  • Mage Born of Muggles: Kaela's parents are revealed to be ordinary humans, leaving it a mystery why she's even a witch, let alone a Charmed One.
  • Shout-Out: When trying to cheer Kaela up and theorise on her magical origins, Mel pretty much gives a basic rundown of the plot for Harry Potter. Kaela lampshades this.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: Kaela lampshades this, noting she is not British.
  • Yandere: Ruby's stepfather is one for her.
