21 Times "Charmed" Vanquished Your Feelings

    Charmed was a fun show EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT WAS RIPPING YOUR HEART OUT.

    1. When Phoebe had to vanquish one of the loves of her life for the sake of her sisters and the world.

    2. And when her sisters were there for her in the aftermath.

    3. Any time Phoebe doubted her goodness.

    4. The episode where we learned Leo'd been carrying around guilt over his last human day all this time.

    5. When Piper grieved the loss of Prue.

    6. When that grief boiled over as anger.

    7. And so she buried her feelings deep.

    8. And lost her faith in the future of her family.

    9. When she had to hate Prue in order to keep going.

    10. Fast forward to a year later, when she credited Paige with helping piece her back together.

    11. Any time they thought they were losing each other again.

    12. When they brought in the first in the next generation of Halliwells.

    13. And when Piper and Leo were torn apart by Leo's "higher calling."

    14. Every time Chris hinted cryptically at the tragedy in the family's future.

    15. When Piper found out the truth of who Chris was.

    16. And when we realized how deeply his issues with his father went.

    17. Just every time that dread for that bleak future crept in.

    18. Whenever we got to watch them heal and move forward and work to take that element out of their future relationship.

    19. AND THEN CHRIS FREAKING *DIED* AND EVERYTHING IS PAIN.

    20. When Phoebe moved out and we all had to cope with the end of an era.

    21. And, finally, when they set up the happy future they worked so hard for.
