Charmed

From Mental Block

Charmed was a 1998-2006 American television series about three sisters who discover that they are actually powerful witches known as "The Charmed Ones." The series follows their adventures fighting evil demons and other supernatural entities while also juggling jobs, careers, and relationships. The series starred Shannon Doherty (Prue), Alyssa Milano (Phoebe), and Holly Marie Combs (PIper) as the three witches. Shannon Doherty left the show after the third season; her character was replaced by a previously-unknown half-sister, played by Rose McGowan (Paige), who had similar witch powers and abilities.

Wicca Envy (Season 1, Episode 10)[edit | edit source]

Prue's boss Rex (Neil Roberts) is a warlock who hopes to destroy the sisters. Using astral projection, he is able to plant hypnotic suggestions in the minds of others. He uses this power to make Prue steal an expensive tiara and bring it back to the manor house so that he can frame her for theft, then to manipulate the sisters as he plans their destruction. 

In a pre-opening credits scene, Rex "demonstrates" his new power to Hannah (Leigh-Allyn Baker), his incredulous female assistant, by getting her to undress for him.

Is There a Woogy in the House? (Season 1, Episode 15)[edit | edit source]

After a small earthquake, the sisters tease Phoebe about her fear of the basement. Unfortunately, Phoebe's fears are well-founded; a demon escapes from the cracked floor of the basement and possesses a repairman, using him to trick Phoebe into entering the basement so that it can possess her as well.

That night, Prue and Piper host a dinner for Professor Whittsley (Nancy Moonves), an important client of Prue's company, but the Woogy causes havoc while Phoebe secretly takes the Professor down to the basement to be possessed. Phoebe then uses her powers to throw Piper and Prue out of the house. The next morning, the two sisters discover that the Professor has been arrested for assault. They investigate further and learn that their house is actually a spiritual nexus that the Woogy, using Phoebe, seeks to control.

Piper and Prue return to the manor and discover that Phoebe has been luring more people into the basement, including Police Inspector Andy (Ted King). The possessed Phoebe tries to kill her sisters and chases them into the basement, but then has a flashback to a forgotten memory of her grandmother (Jennifer Rhodes) banishing the Woogy years before. The memory is enough to give Phoebe the power to break the Woogy's hold on her and to re-banish it with a spell, saving her sisters.
