Recap / Charmed S8E17 Generation Hex

Go To

Paige leaves on her honeymoon. Coop takes Phoebe back to the past to see some of her past loves. The remaining Triad member, Candor, warns Christy that she is getting too close to the Charmed Ones and forgetting their ultimate goal. Billie and Christy's parents are still back in town, and Christy doesn't want to see them. Two students from the Magic School are on the run from two immortal Noxon demons who were used as practice targets and are now seeking revenge.

Tropes

  • And I Must Scream: One of the Noxon demons is sent to the astral plane before he can regenerate - meaning he'll remain there forever on the edge of death.
  • Back for the Dead: Billie and Christy's parents return...to be killed off!
  • Clip Show: Phoebe's plot features one in the same format as the one in "Cat House".
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Christy mourns her parents sincerely, and kills Candor for having them murdered.
  • Has a Type: Coop is surprised to learn that Phoebe has made something of a habit of falling for demons.
  • Informed Flaw: Christy insists that Piper is too smothering when she's literally just cooking for her and giving her clothes she's outgrown. Of course, Christy's real problem is that Piper is good and she's trying to lure Billie away from her.
  • The Maiden Name Debate: Phoebe greets Paige as "Mrs. Mitchell" but Paige responds that she's keeping her own name. She also shoots down the idea of hyphenating as "Matthews-Mitchell" sounds "like a law firm".
  • Morality Pet: Candor is worried about the Jenkins parents becoming ones for Christy, swaying her away from the path of evil. So he has them killed.
  • The Peeping Tom: Coop seems to think that Anton and Past-Life!Phoebe's vigorous groping is highly entertaining.
  • Series Continuity Error:
    • When she and Coop are reviewing her past life's romance with Anton, Phoebe calls him a demon rather than a warlock. She admittedly could have forgotten, since she lampshades how many demons she's been with.
    • One even contradicted by the clip shown. Phoebe says her college is where she and Cole first met, despite her already knowing his name by that point. They actually met outside a club, and had a lengthy interaction in a courtroom before the scene shown, but those two couldn't be shown obviously due to featuring Prue, and the show being unable to use her image again (the clip of Anton being vanquished is edited so that Prue can't be seen as well).
  • Written-In Absence: Paige just has three short scenes, and Henry doesn't appear, because both are on their honeymoon.
