[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A mysterious woman from the future named Bianca arrives to take Chris' powers and bring him back forcefully to the future. Leo discovers that Bianca is actually a Phoenix - part of an elite assassin family of witches. In a series of flash-forwards, it is revealed that Chris and Bianca are engaged in the future, and together conspired to send Chris back in time to save baby Wyatt from turning evil. Unable to stop Chris from returning to the future with Bianca, Piper, Phoebe and Paige provide him with a spell, which will give him back his powers and return him to the present. Meanwhile, Piper tells Phoebe and Paige that they can't put their lives on hold for the craft and convinces Paige to move in with Richard, and Phoebe to join Jason in Hong Kong. With the Charmed Ones scattered, the Power of Three is in danger.

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is based on the common phrase criss-crossed, meaning mixed-up or jumbled up.
  • The Charmed Ones and Leo discover that Chris is half-witch and half-whitelighter in this episode.
  • The book Bianca was looking for, the Grimoire, was previously seen in the fourth season's episode We're Off to See the Wizard, though with a completely different appearance, and was (supossedly) only managed by high level demons. After the events of that previous episode, the book's whereabouts or its existence was never mentioned again, until this episode. Although some theories assume that the book shown in this episode was simply a grimoire (specifically that belonging to the Phoenixes), rather than "the Grimoire" mentioned earlier in the series.
  • In another episode the Book of Shadows was shown to have a page referencing Arabic legends. On that page was this entry regarding the traditional Phoenix: A Phoenix is a bird which incinerates at the end of its lifespan, then regenerates itself from the ashes. In Egyptian folklore the Phoenix resembles the sun, dying each night to be reborn in the morning.
  • This episode reveals Chris's purpose for coming to the past: to stop Wyatt from becoming evil in the future (although Leo and the sisters won't discover this until 2 episodes later in 'Prince Charmed').
  • Several of the Charmed Ones' costumes from previous episodes are shown in this episodes as relics from the past once they are killed in the future. The dress worn by Paige's past life, the bra and tail worn by Phoebe as a mermaid, the red cape worn by Piper as Little Red Riding Hood, and the superheroe costumes to name a few, were seen.
  • This is the first episode to reveal the adult Wyatt Halliwell and is the first appearance of actor Wes Ramsey as Wyatt.
  • In this episode, it is shown that witches can shimmer; previously shimmering had been portrayed as an exclusively demonic ability.
  • Chris-Crossed was the highest-rated non-premiere episode since season three's "All Halliwell's Eve", rating 6.2 milliom viewers. No subsequent episodes rated higher.
