The trio assumed fairy tales are just fiction, but an evil witch knew like Leo they recall magical events and she banishes their keeper to a magic mirror so she can subject them to her black magic to attack the charmed ones, imposing modernized versions of the plots on unsuspecting people in their lives.

Pregnant Piper seeks help form grandma Penny 'Grams' Halliwell, who is turned into a wolf, requiring Leo's help.

Goofs
In the season 5 episode "Happily Ever After", the characters are embroiled in a storyline involving numerous elements from the "original" fairytales. One of these involves the ruby slippers from L. Frank Baum's book "The Wizard of Oz". But the original slippers were silver - MGM changed the slippers to ruby for The Wizard of Oz (1939) because it looked better in Technicolor.

Quotes
Phoebe Halliwell: I don't know what you're up to but whatever it is, it is not gonna work.
Cole Turner: Don't you think you're being a little paranoid?
Phoebe Halliwell: With my demon ex-husband from hell? No, Cole, I don't.

I noticed a small plot hole

In this episode, paige doesn't recognise grams even though they met in the charmed again episode. It was a bit strange to me that they were written as they didn't know each other?!
