Charmed begins tonight with the “Charmed Ones” – Mel Vera (Melonie Diaz), Maggie Vera (Sarah Jeffery) and their newfound sister, Macy Vaughn (Madeleine Mantock) trying to call their mother, Marisol’s (Valerie Cruz) spirit with the Ouija board and it just warns them to not trust Whitelighter, Harry Greenwood (Rupert Evans). Harry appears as they call his name.
In a lab, at Hilltown University a janitor is attacked blob, that she then spits out and retreats into the vents. Back at the Charmed One’s home, Harry wants to know why they are acting so peculiar and reminds them that the Underworld knows they are the Charmed Ones and must call him immediately if there is a sudden change in temperature, or rabid dogs or spontaneous human combustion; especially warning them to stay away from spirit boards as they are great for tricksters. When he vanishes, the sisters need to figure out who they can trust.
Maggie attempts to make Macy feel more comfortable about living with them and moving into their mom’s room; she just asks that she keeps the gift that she made her mom in the third grade, having no idea that it was a bong. Maggie is a bit jealous that both sisters’ powers are coolers than hers. Mel feels Harry doesn’t want them using the board because he doesn’t want them to know the truth.
Suddenly the Book of Shadows (BOS) opens to the page of Truth Serum and majority rules with Macy, where they should use the truth serum first before using the board; until they figure out of they can trust Harry. They talk about renaming Harry something else, so he won’t appear everytime they say his name – but they nix calling him “Meaghan Markle”, considering he is British. Maggie tells them they can work on the spell since she is off to Kappa, putting off gloves to prevent herself from reading what everyone else is thinking.
At the hospital, Lucy (Natalie Hall) tells Maggie she needs to hold Angela’s hand, who is in the bed. She can hear everyone’s thoughts and when she does as she can hear is Angela scream.
At HU, Macy thanks Galvin (Ser’Darius Blain) for pushing her to talk to her sisters again. He tells her they are now partners, but finds it weird that Professor Thaine (Craig Parker) resigned the day after he was cleared of any crimes; as Macy says he was dealing with some personal demons. They both see all the shattered glass and Galvin informs her that a woman from the cleaning crew lost her mind saying a black blob choked her and escaped through an air vent. Macy sees the marks on the vent and takes an empty sample bottle.
Maggie finds Brian (Charlie Gillespie) and tries to just have sex with him, reminding him that they are just friends; but she cannot stop herself from reading his thoughts. He tries to divert his thoughts but at the end, he says he loves her so much he has to win her back.
Mel is on the phone with her girlfriend, Detective Niko Hamada suggesting they get together for lunch. After they hang up the spirit board says, “MELLY” and she freaks out. Macy finds Harry at the hospital, who is wiping out the janitor’s memory of the demon attack; she denies knowing anything about the attack.
At home, Mel is convinced she is talking to their mom when Maggie walks in as she is asking her questions only their mom would know answers too. Maggie tears up and Macy comes in demanding to know what is going on; Mel asks if their mom is there and the board grabs hold of Maggie. Macy throws the board across the room, breaking it. Macy tells them both about the demon attack and has a sample from the lab. She also has the truth serum, but Mel feels that Macy doesn’t want the spirit to truly be their mom. Macy admits that this whole sisterhood thing is really the two of them and her, an outsider.
They are interrupted by Nico who arrives with lunch and they quickly hide the BOS. Macy accidentally switches the thermoses and Maggie rushes after Macy hoping she will not chase after “Meaghan Markle” and fix their mom’s “sewing machine”. Nico is called back to the police station and promises to bring back the handcuffs for later. Galvin calls Macy who did her job for her and informs her that the janitor who freaked out the other day has died; just then Harry arrives with tea for both of them.
Nico is in interrogation and it’s clear she took the truth serum while telling a perp and his lawyer that the PC has no case. Nico calls Mel, revealing she loves her deeply and she is a terrible driver; Mel suddenly realizes that she took the wrong drink to work and rushes to get her out of the station to avert disaster also revealing to Mel that she bought her the Cure album as a guilt gift since she cheated on her last week with her ex-fiance.
Lucy messages Maggie about Angela’s vigil, who apologizes saying it was family drama. Maggie is able to reassemble the board and wishes her mom could help her. The board quickly starts talking to her saying “Release me!” Mel comes home and Maggie says they can bring their mom’s spirit back but they have to do it quickly, but they have to do it before Macy comes back. They do a spell as their mother returns from the board, shocking them both.
Marisol hugs her daughters, saying she was ready for them to be the Charmed Ones, but she didn’t get the chance to tell them. She wants to see Macy, worried that she is with Harry, saying he is the one who killed her, wanting to steal their powers and then kill them after.
Harry wants to know about the inane chitchat and demands to know what is truly going on; her phone suddenly blows up with messages and he grabs her as she says, “Oh No!” Harry orbs him and Macy to the house, where he discovers they used the board. He rushes towards Marisol’s spirit but Mel knocks him out. Marisol says Macy’s name, who wants to know why she left her. Marisol promises to tell her but they need to find the “Prism of Souls” and it has to be hidden behind a mirror.
Maggie cannot feel what Marisol is feeling, but she says she is only a visiting spirit. Mel tells her mom that she wish she known all of this while Marisol was alive, but she says that was not what was destined to be. They find the mirror where it says in Latin “The Only Way Out is Together” on top, Maggie touches the mirror and they realize that it’s not behind the mirror but inside it.
All 3 sisters go through and the wall solidifies on the other side. They find a pyramid which they believe holds the prism, both Macy and Mel put their hands on it but Maggie feels that maybe the spirit wasn’t their mother because she couldn’t feel her; Mel says majority rules and grabs Maggie’s hand on it. The sides open and the prism is revealed but suddenly the glass around them shatters and none of their powers work. They finally join hands and are able to escape, as Macy says she should switch to physics as she is pretty sure they just exited a parallel of a multiverse.
Inside the house, Harry and Marisol are in a physical fight, with him throwing her off the top stairs and her yelling for them to help her. He orbs to the bottom of the stairs, choking her and grabbing a knife but Macy stops it using her telekinesis to turn it on, Harry. He tells them the prism is used to suck out their powers and this is not their mother, only an impostor demon.
She asks Macy to give it to them but Maggie stops them, asking her to what she made it grade 3 art class. She gets the answer right, but Maggie can feel it is not her! Mel is insistent, but Maggie begs her to listen to her mother but once Marisol says to Mel it has always been “you and me”; Mel grabs the knife and stabs Marisol and stabs her, saying, “Mom wouldn’t say that, she didn’t play favorites!”
Marisol gets up and throws Macy into the wall, but Mel is able to freeze her mid-air. Harry says she needs to see her true reflection but they destroyed all the mirrors. Maggie is able to use her cell phone to kill her and she explodes. Maggie helps Macy to her feet, promising she’s got her; both Mel and Macy feeling guilty for believing that was their mother.
Harry tells them they are not the first to fall for impostor demons and their real power is manipulation and the most vulnerable is people who have powers like Maggie. Macy admits she wanted to hear her mom say giving her up was a mistake but she should have listened to Maggie; Mel agrees that she should have listened too. Maggie says Mel and Macy are so much alike, they are definitely alike. Harry tells Maggie to trust her voice, the most she does the less she will be overwhelmed by the voices of others. She says this power is ruining her social life.
They all feel like they lost their mother all over again, as Harry agrees that this demon-fighting business can take its toll on one’s emotions. Mel takes the prism and tells Harry to take it and put it back behind the mirror; she says she doesn’t like Harry but she trusts him. Harry says he did not kill the janitor, but whatever the demon left behind had a fatal effect. Macy shows him what she found at the lab, he takes the sample with him, saying they now have a shared calendar and training starts tomorrow, telling them to be prompt.
They agree to trust Meghan Markle and to talk to each other. They don’t want to do the majority rules thing as it is about the Power of Three. Maggie says since everyone is listening to her she has some advice for them – Mel needs to stop living in the past, and forget about Nico and Greta. Macy needs to apologize to Galvin and if they don’t want her reading their minds, they better not let them touch her.
Maggie goes to see Brian, saying she needs to trust her own feelings and this is completely over. She kisses him on the lips and leaves. Macy tells Galvin she is overreacting as she feels like an outsider with her sisters and didn’t want to feel like that at HU too. He says she isn’t one with him, as they are cool. Mel calls Nico, saying she loves her and will see her soon. Macy comes home to her sisters making the room more like hers and promise to help her find the answers as to why their mother gave her up, wishing Marisol hadn’t.
Harry suddenly arrives and he learns that they nicknamed him “Meghan Markle” and he tells them that is absurd as he only comes when they shout out his name. He tells them that the black ooze she found is from the Harvenger of Hell. It is the third phase of the prophecy and if the harbinger finds a vessel everything is going to change. We see Angela lying in her hospital bed at the end of the episode!
The End!
