[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Phoebe inadvertently opens a tunnel in time by repeatedly saving the life of her new boyfriend Miles, who has been preordained to die. The time tunnel provides a pathway for a warlock from the future named Bacarra to steal the Book of Shadows. He betrays Cole and uses its power to kill Phoebe and Paige, leaving Piper and Leo to reverse the chain of death before events become final.

[edit] Enemies

  • Bacarra: a low-powered warlock at present, he is destined to become a powerful advisor to Cole in the future. Cole, as The Source, sends him back in time to stop Phoebe's death from happening in the present.

[edit] Spells

  • To Vanquish Bacarra: We call upon Medusa's bones. Turn their flesh into stone.
  • To Disempower a Witch: A human heart and a red ribbon, one per witch, is needed. Before the passing of this hour, take away all of their power.

[edit] Trivia

  • The title of this episode is a play on words to the phrase a stitch in time saves nine.
  • The spell the two Baccaras used to disempower a witch, which needed a fresh human heart, was previously used by the evil witch Tuatha in season two's episode That Old Black Magic. However, in that episode it is said that a fresh heart is needed per witch. Bacarra only used one heart in this episode to take away all the Charmed One's powers. In the episode A Knight to Remember, Piper beat up a potion which was used to disempower the Evil Enchantress, apparently they did not include in the Book of Shodows.
  • In the episode Blinded by the Whitelighter Leo is shown to physically sense when he loses one of his charges. He did not display this ability when Phoebe and Paige were killed in the attic.
  • Miles's apartment elevator is the same one shown in Cole's building.
  • This storyline would be used again in the show's series finale, Forever Charmed.
  • When Bacarra disempowers the Charmed Ones, Paige looses her ability to orb. That's a continuity error because the spell is to disempower a witch and Paige's orbing comes from her whitelighter side.
  • In the moment that Bacarra steals the Book of Shadows, Paige could easily take it back by calling for it, the same thing could be done in the episode The Power of three blondes.
