    well... i can just say two things- it felt very charmed... except for the continuity error... how can paige have a charge if this is season 4?.... paige didn't get her first charge till season 5 (her father sam).... also she kinda has season5 hair.... and i guess phoebe's hair can pass as season5... also theres no cole... so this really could be season 5? also they use the term social media... was that even around back then? I really hope the writer does her research... thats all I'm saying... other than that i really liked it

    Maybe this is set between womb raider and witch way now. Perfect spot to do stories without cole, piper not pregnant yet and still have it season 4.

    Not too happy with continuity errors. But Charmed is full of them.

    But lovely issue. Yeah it could be set between 4 and 5 before Piper starts showing she's pregnant. Maybe after Womb Raider but before the final of s4 or sometime where cole wasn't seen.

    I reckon its definitely a post womb raider and pre season 5 story.

    I loved the issue. Sisters written well and great story.

    As for the debate of story setting. Honestly it's uncertain but looks like something from season 4 or pre season 5 as Cole is not in it.

    The sisterly bonding was definitely there, I also loved details like Leo orbing out cutting off Piper's dialogue, which pisses her off, I really liked this issue, but its true, Paige's first charge was Sam, yet I also think it's somewhere pre season 5 because of Phoebe's new role at bay mirror and all the billboard she didn't want, I remember in A Witch's Tale the sisters were happy for Phoebe and a Billboard somewhere, Also, if there's a new demon trying to takeover the underworld means there's no Source... let's wait til next but I'm getting a good feeling on this new series

    In this issue, the sisters battle the demon, Charun, from the intro and Paige orbs after him without waiting for Piper who told Paige to wait. The two sisters still had to battle Charun's 6 clones. After vanquishing them, the sisters reach Paige to see her vanquish him by directing his attack back to him with her telekinetic orbing. While Phoebe is excited for Paige's vanquish, Piper is angry that Paige didn't listen to them and is acting cocky. She quickly orbs after her charge right before Piper can stop her and strands her and Phoebe.

    Turns out, Charun is alive and was put up to the act by an unknown warlock. The warlock gave him the power of cloning which could make a dozen of him so he is angry that Charun could only manage to make 6 of them and quickly realizes that his powers aren't the problem, the problem is him. Charun is angry himself and blames the warlock for lying to him. After he begs for the warlock to keep him and figure out how to try again, the warlock vanquishes him with Charun's own clones.
    A powerful demon shows up and explains to the warlock that he can help him and everyone escape from the underworld, where most of the evil beings aren't strong enough to leave.

    The next morning, Piper has business matters to handle over P3 and has to meet with an accountant while Phoebe has an important meeting with Elise that Phoebe isn't too happy with. When Paige comes, she explains that her charge is hard to handle being a new witch that Piper and Phoebe know has the same personality as Paige is. Leo orbs in to inform Piper that the Elders are worried that Piper and Paige's emotions and stress will have an effect on their powers and Piper agrees to talk to Paige about it. Piper is stressed about it all but Leo lets her know she can handle all of this.

    At the Bay Mirror, Phoebe has a meeting with Elise and business associates. They reveal a stack of documents she has to sign. Luckily, Robin rushes in to inform Phoebe that her older sister called and that it's a family emergency. Phoebe rushes out to the chagrin of Elise. When Phoebe reaches the phone and answers it, she finds out that Piper is at the accountant's office and just needs her tax returns. Phoebe shockingly has a premonition of the accountant about to attack Piper with an athamae from behind. She informs Piper and calls for Leo who orbs in and back out with her just before Elise and Robin to look in and see that Phoebe is not there.

    Piper freezes the accountant just when she turns around. Just after her sister an Leo arrive, she shows them that he only is about to give her a pen. Though Phoebe knows that her premonition was different, her and Leo orb out to leave Piper to handle the accountant. Just when she unfreezes him, she tells him that she has a family emergency and leaves his office.

    The accountant sits in his chair and magical smoke enters him and leaves the warlock in his chair with his clones behind him.

    Back in the Underworld, a demon throws the accountant into a cell as the powerfu demon explains to other evil beings that he will get them to the mortal world with the souls of mortals. Though they are impatient, the powerful demon assures them that they will get out of the Underworld. He tells them that he has a portal they can go through to get to the Underworld and he points at a painting.

    Meanwhile, a painter creates paintings that resemble the painting that the powerful demon pointed at. And that's the end of the issue.

    I hope y'all understand this and like the spoiler.

    so this could actually take place between sam i am and the mummy epiosde- those episodes aired MONTHS apart- in sam i am piper wasn't showing yet- in the mummy episode she's popped and is looking for maternity clothes... only issue is paige didn't take on white lighter duties again until season 7 little box of horrors- i guess we can say that maybe she took on another charge after sam but id suggest to the writer don't make this an on going thing

    Thanks for the whole summary Barron. Paige having a charge would put this issue after Sam I Am, but it doesn't seem Piper is pregnant at all or else pregnancy would be mentioned. Also there's the whole invincible self-healing Piper. So...should the issue count as set in an alternate universe? O.o

    Looks like the setting can't be made. I would of thought pre season 5 but now looks like it's season 5.

    Yeah writers didn't think it through.
