[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After the death of their respective sisters, Piper and Billie go their separate ways, both determined to get their families back together. Piper and Leo have an emotional reunion before she enlists Coop's help to travel back in time and change the events that led to the deaths of Phoebe and Paige. Along the way, Piper and Leo encounter Patty, Grams, and even older versions of themselves. Meanwhile, Billie goes to Dumain to ask for his help in bringing back her sister, Christy. Dumain tells Billie that she must use her powers to travel back in time to warn the Triad of their impending doom. Billie, however, becomes suspicious of Dumain's motives, realizing that he has been manipulating her and her sister all along.

Piper, Leo, Patty, and Grams return to the manor moments before the explosion which killed Phoebe, Paige, and Christy occurs. Piper, along with her mother and grandmother, recites the spell to return the Hollow to its resting place. The sisters are planning their next move when future Chris and Wyatt appear. The Charmed Ones learn that Wyatt has lost his powers in the future because of Billie and Christy's actions. More determined than ever to defeat their enemies, and with the help of Billie, they vanquish Dumain and the Triad. Christy attacks Billie out of anger, and Billie is forced to kill her sister.

With the danger over, Grams and Patty are returned to their own times, with no memory of future events. Phoebe and Coop are married in a ceremony at Magic School after learning that their love was approved by the Elders and therefore not forbidden at all, and the Charmed Ones decide to write down their story in the Book of Shadows. As they do so, the audience gets a glimpse into what the future holds. Phoebe will have three daughters and continue her career as a columnist, although she will help people find love instead of giving general advice. Paige will get in touch with her Whitelighter half, whilst having a son, Henry, Jr., and twin daughters with her husband Henry. Piper will open the restaurant she has always dreamed of, and will have a third child, Melinda, with her husband Leo. Leo reopens Magic School and becomes a teacher there, while Billie is seen babysitting Phoebe's daughters. The episode ends with a much older Piper reading to her young granddaughter from the Book of Shadows, and as in all the previous season finales, the front door of the manor is closed magically, this time by Piper's granddaughter.

[edit] Spells

  • Spell to Return the Hollow: (in Latin; actual words are educated guesses)

Iam et ago, hic et ago (now and I do, this and I do) Malus ot bonus, (bad or good) Mos inconsessus, (unconceded will) Superdico nos (I say it over us).

[edit] Artifacts

  • The Hollow: An ancient vapor and the most powerful force of unknown origin which absorbs all forms of magic it comes in contact with, whether it be good or evil. It appears in a swarm of vapor-like particles floating in mid-air, but can also reside inside a living being, thus possessing their corporeal form. It is eternal and cannot be destroyed by any known means, rather it can only be contained when powerful representatives from both sides of good and evil join forces. It actually possesses no mind or personality but rather acts like a virus, mindlessly consuming all magic it touches, thus was always referred to as the "void" by the Seer and the Avatars. It is kept in an ancient burial ground as a pact agreed upon by both sides and is heavily guarded by powerful beings. It has been said that this is the "ultimate power" that will be the end of good and evil, thus creating a void as a reality.

[edit] Trivia

In order to meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article's trivia section requires cleanup.
Content in the trivia section should be integrated into other appropriate areas of the article.
  • The Angel of Destiny, upon seeing the deaths of Phoebe and Paige, said it was not how she foresaw the final battle ending. In this episode, she explains this was her design all along.
  • This is the one hundred seventy-eighth episode of Charmed to be aired. The first episode produced was an unaired pilot, bringing the total number of Charmed episodes in existence to one hundred seventy-nine.
  • The final shot of the show (the camera panning away from the manor) is actually recycled from the fourth season finale "Witch Way Now?." However, the CG Angel of Destiny has been removed and the shot's lighting has been edited. Due to extensive budget cuts the crew had to film everything in studio, making an exterior shot impossible.
  • In the season four episode "Charmed and Dangerous", the Hollow can only be contained by good and evil joining forces. Only the Halliwell women (good) say the spell, so it wouldn't have been properly contained.
  • It is never actually shown how Piper or anyone found the spell to contain the Hollow as it not the one that Phoebe read with the Seer.
  • In the episode "That '70s episode", Patty told Grams that the three had become the Charmed Ones and that is why Grams bound the girls' powers in the first place. However, in this episode, when Piper and Patty go back into time to meet Grams, Phoebe had already been born (in that time) which meant that Grams had already known that the sisters were the Charmed Ones. Apparently, however, she does not know that Piper and her sisters are the Charmed Ones until Patty told her.
  • Piper Halliwell was the first and last Charmed One to be seen in the series.
  • Vanquishing Dumain is the last time that Piper's blowing up power is shown.
  • When Paige calls for that darklighters arrow and sends it back towards him in her future scene, this is the last time her telekinetic orbs are shown.
  • This is the last and final time we see the doors of the Halliwell Manor close, by magick or non-magickal means.
