Charmed 4.09 'Muse To My Ears'

‘Muse To My Ears’ is this season’s version of ‘Blinded By The Whitelighter’ with a warlock with a more complex plan than your usual one, and there is just as much at risk.

Synopsis: A warlock begins stealing peoples’ muses in order to give evil more inspiration and weaken good. The sisters summon their muse to help them defeat him but when she ends up getting kidnapped they are left uninspired to find a way to save her.

In ‘Blinded By The Whitelighter’ Eames was after more than just random destruction. His plan was to kill a whitelighter in order to get to the rest to leave all their witches undefended and helpless. There was a lot at risk, and it actually made him appear a lot cleverer than other demons that faced the charmed ones.

Here it’s quite similar, in that there is a bigger plan. Devlin is after muses in order to weaken good. Unfortunately, this episode isn’t as good as ‘Blinded’’ was. Maybe that’s down to the warlocks who were a little silly, or maybe the story itself just wasn’t as good.

The muses are just as you’d expect them to be, but they work quite well here, Melody being the perfect representation of light and imagination. We get a little bit of fun too, with everyone’s inspiration getting pretty intense, with Phoebe’s rhyming.

Cole, now fully human, is obviously struggling to cope now that he’s powerless and in a lot more danger than he used to be. You can’t really blame him for trying to get involved in some way. It was great seeing Cole and Leo work together too; as the only males in the group it would be normal for them to find it easy to talk to each other.

Even though it wasn’t as fantastic as it could have been, it was still a very decent episode.

8/10
