As a season finale’ Be Careful What You Witch For’ doesn’t work as well as the previous finale ’Deja Vu All Over Again’. Still, it ties up a lot of loose ends and gives us a great starting point for the following season, with some fun moments along the way.

Charmed 2.21 'Apocalypse Not'
Like ‘Morality Bites’ which taught the sisters that they can’t use their powers to punish wrong doers, ‘Apocolypse Not’ teaches them that they can’t selfishly choose their sister’s life over everyone elses. It’s not as powerful as the former episode, but it’s quite close.
Charmed 2.20 'Astral Monkey'
In ‘Astral Monkey’, the girls face their first major dilemma when their innocent is also their enemy. Despite the humour of some of this episode, it was still a serious instalment that worked pretty well.
Charmed 2.19 'Ex-Libris'
‘Ex-Libris’ attempts to bring two separate sister’s on-goings and merge them together. It does this well, but the result is a little dull.
Charmed 2.18 'Chick Flick'
When a show becomes more comfortable with itself, it turns out episodes like this one. ‘Chick Flick’ makes a mockery of even itself, but it does it in an amazing way that is completely fathomable. It’s no surprise that so many people love it.
Charmed 2.17 'How To Make A Quilt Ouilt Of Americans'
Like ‘Murphy’s Luck’, this episode requires a little leap of faith, but it was a hard enough leap to make. Despite this, the episode is a fun way of seeing just how well the girls understand their powers
Charmed 2.16 'Murphy's Luck'
The idea to introduce something more about the girls past is something that I would have loved to have seen more of, but in this case everything just felt a little random. It was still a good hour with some fabulous performances.
Charmed 2.15 'Give Me A Sign'
‘Give Me A Sign’ is the first taste of something that stays with the series till the end, a demonic ‘government’. While it led to some great plots in later seasons, I always found it quite strange. Prue and Bane’s insane sexual chemistry makes this episode special.
Charmed 2.14 'Pardon My Past'
In a superbly filmed episode, we get out first taste of past lives. The era was depicted wonderfully, with another story touching on Phoebe’s darker side.
Charmed 2.13 'Animal Pragmatism'
A valentine’s centric episode was unavoidable, especially with the love triangle that was going on all through this season but the instalment proved to be just as stupid as you’d think it to be. It had its moments though, and it’s not all unforgivable.
Charmed 2.12 'Awakened'
The reason this episode stands out for so many fans is that it deals with something that despite all their power, Prue and Phoebe can’t stop it; sickness. ‘Awakened’ is a pretty powerful hour that accomplishes quite a lot.
Charmed 2.11 'Reckless Abandon'
‘Reckless Abandon’ is not the most original of Charmed instalments. The girls are stuck with someone else’s baby, while hilarity ensues. Despite this, it’s actually quite a fun episode.
Charmed 2.10 'Heartbreak City'
In a pretty dull and stupid episode the girls meet Cupid, who just so happens to be responsible for all their love matches in the past. The episode does little to be unexpected and it comes across as a little childish.
Charmed 2.09 'Ms Hellfire'
Like season 1’s ‘Which Prue Is It Anyway’ this episode explores the part of Prue’s personality that’s always been held back and seeing Prue let loose is great to watch. It also marks the first return of the sisters’ enemy, Barbas.
Charmed 2.08 'P3 H2O'
A dramatic episode that features a character that becomes far more important after season 3. The show once again plays on the death of the girls’ mother, and allows the girls to finally figure what happened to her. With some clever mirroring stories, and a sprinkle of family drama this is a strong one.
Charmed 2.07 'They're Everywhere'
This hour manages to turn such a simple premise into a pretty clever one. It also shows what great fun the show had with the Prue/Piper pairing, and manages to weave both ongoing plots together very well.
Charmed 2.06 'That Old Black Magic'
This was always one of my favourite episodes when I first started watching the show, but upon viewing all these years later, it really turned into one of the weaker episodes of the season. That being said, it’s still not as bad as a lot of fans make it out to be.
Charmed 2.05 'She's A Man, Baby, A Man!'
This is one episode of Charmed that really didn’t mesh its fun side with its darker side as well as it should have. Despite being a little clumsy, it did have its moments and had fun with itself.
Charmed 2.04 'The Devil's Music'
Leo and Piper have their first major blowout while Jenny fulfils her role as the way too annoying teenage girl. Despite the major whining that takes place, this was actually a pretty great episode.
Charmed 2.03 'The Painted World'
After a powerful second episode, this hour saw a return to the Charmed Ones normal lives, or at least as normal as their lives can get. Though nothing too ambitious took place, it was a solid episode.
