Muse it or lose it

Warning: Spoilers
Muse to my wars become aware of a faction of demons lead by Devlin who's stole the ring of inspiration and kidnaps muses to increase their power. A muse named Melody finds the Halliwells and tries to stop their evil plan before they can take control of the underworld. I think the episode works for many reasons as the plots very unique feathering muses as innocents being used to corrupt blind justice so demons don't get an advantage in battle against witches or innocents and almost apocalyptic in nature since it would let evil doers rule the world. The ring was created for times of justice yet no definition is given on its purpose or who guard's it and why the Elders allow a powerful device out of their site without destroying it. Humor runs amok when their passions run high causing them to rhyme, fight or inspire them in their hobbies to be the best from spell writing in Phoebe or painting in Paige's case.

I like how Leo & Cole must navigate the underworld like the hardy boys having each others backs and looking for clues. Its nice to see the guys getting involved in the action instead of sitting back and watching. My favorite scene involved Piper freezing the club, Leo hitting the strobe light as each looks out for warlock in their mists and prove why they are stronger as a team. Without it Deviln would trap a witch within the crystal embedded ring and game over instead of them saving the day. Muse to my ears is one of the best episodes to date not afraid to take risks or expand world building in a nice setting without relying on special effects or putting in cool action sequences with a well rounded story flowing naturally from What has been established before.
