Warning: Spoilers
Blinded by the whitelighter is a great Leo central ep which reveals many details about his past and what a whitelighter is. You find out Leo knew Natalie when they served together in the war and she was there during his death to offer him a chance to be a guardian Angel to witches. You find out Whitelighters have their own language, which never gets used again, can't eat on the job and should never wing it instead forming a battle plan like they did with Belthazar.

Eames was a wonderful warlock villain who lives up to his reputation by being clever, manipulative and dreaming big. Stealing three powers from different witches and one poisonous crossbow to enter the heavens in order to wipe out the Elders. While I find the plot similar to Oh, My Goddess with the titans actually accomplishing the task, I felt it was done better here. Keeping it shrouded in mystery and keep a great balance for good in the process.

Another thing I love was Phoebe worrying about Cole's safety now that a bounty has been placed on his head and Piper trying to gain the favor of Nat's so she can marry the man she loves. In fact saving their whitelighter butts is what makes them agree to lift the rule in the first place and may be seeing Paige will be needed soon forced their hand.

This episode will astound and surpass any great writing this season becoming my favorite.
