YMMV / Charmed S6E17 Hyde School Reunion

Go To

  • Moral Event Horizon: Some fans believe that this episode marked the point where the Charmed Ones, in particular Phoebe, stopped being really good: the moment Phoebe set up Rick as a decoy for the demons who were after Chris and let him get killed. This of course ignores how Rick was as far from a good, decent man as can be. However, in a previous episode, Phoebe killing a bad man with her powers in an aborted timeline led to a Bad Future and the moral was that witches should never do such a thing; setting up someone to be killed is a Distinction Without a Difference, making this Aesop Amnesia. Since the Charmed Ones had it well within their power to disarm Rick by orbing away his gun and knocking him out, self-defense doesn't apply. And you'd think the demons will eventually realize Chris isn't dead anyway.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
    • Piper and Chris bonding as mother and son, as well as Victor getting time in as a loving grandfather? Good stuff. Too bad it takes a backseat to Phoebe's "spell gone wrong" story.
    • Chris going undercover in the Underworld.
