I loved this episode, and quite honestly, as a die hard fan of the original- people really should know stop saying this isn't the original... duh! Take it for the new concept that they're trying to create. This episode was especially interesting because it designated the elders as senior witches who are still balancing successful careers and being witch council members. Finally, as I speculated- the didn't do away with the power of premonition- it was just the mother's power and allows plot wise for things to be done in advance. Overall, I like the direction they're going and taking it for a different series because that's what It is.

I am a fan of the original series that said I can see why the old school fans are saying the WB needs to put a fork in this reboot and be done with it. Enough said on that though. There is no way to properly judge this show against the original because it can never measure up not after only a few episodes come on people. And as far as the political trype the original had a great deal of political messages in it so don't even try using that. The only fair way to judge this show is by judging it against other shows of today and that alone makes it a great show
Trying to Instill But Not That Good

Enough is enough how can this reboot reached episode 4 when there is evidence that this show going to fail very hard? CW do you hear the true fans? Most of us DOESNT LIKE this new charmed, so hear us and vanquish this show already, its make me headache to think more.
Another great episode !! well done !

Don't understand how this is being rated a 10

When you compare this to other TV shows out there such as Game of Throwns etc, I cannot comprehend how some reviewers are rating this as a 10. It's really not that good, the acting and dialogue is pretty bad. There's a lot of political references which completely ruins the show. I'm giving it a chance, it's not horrible but quite frankly it's not good either. If it was cancelled tomorrow, I wouldn't be sad.
The only way to improve this show is to drop the feminism and politics, it's nonsensical and has no reference to the storyline. You're only offended a huge portion of the population which shows intolerance.

Wow, this is undoubtedly the best episode yet, as the Charmed Ones find themselves faced with a real moral dilemma. The argument goes back and forth and, while the sisters are in agreement at the end, it's not entirely certain the choice they made was the right one: They saved Angela but an innocent man was not only killed but had his name besmirched. (And is it only me who wonders if it was the Charmed One's new ally that killed him?) And Mel gets to see the consequences of her choice first hand.
With Mel and Macy personifying the opposite sides of the argument, Maggie is left with the personal storyline and even this goes into morally grey areas: Kissing a friend's boyfriend, even a vacuous one and even as a distraction, is crossing a line.
And we are introduced to Elder Charity, who starts off as another "Screw anyone with a Y chromosome" character but gradually becomes more as the Charmed Ones find themselves at odds with her. Even though she helps them in the end, it still isn't entirely clear if we can trust her...especially after that ambiguous final scene. (Was she hypnotised or is she playing both sides?) It also promises a villainous turn from the sublime Craig Parker, which is something to look forward to.

This is terrible. They didnt kill the demon to save someone's life but end up causing another person their life by not listening to the elder. Then the femon isnt supposed to be able to be held by the chains after a certain point but ends up back in chains. Piper would never.
the best episode so far
