The One Where Paige Gets Taken Over By A Ghost...

[taylorkingston · 10/10 · 6 December 2014]

I really like this episode. It's very good. I enjoy it so much. I've seen it so many times and it is still as good as the first time I saw it. Definitely a favorite from Season 6.

In this episode, Paige is helping an elderly woman as a temp job. She then discovers that the grandmother and her neighbors have been in a magical feud with each other for decades. Using spells, potions, energy balls, anything they can to defeat the other. Paige intervenes and wants to help. She meets Richard, the member of one of the feuding families, who doesn't practice magic, so he's pretty much just there for support. She instantly takes a liking to him, if you know what I mean. Piper and Phoebe can't help butting in, and find out that a ghost is involved. So they get both families over to perform a say-ance, I don't know how to spell it. Just sound it out. They find out that it is Richard's deceased fiancé', a member of the other feuding family, who is doing all of this harm. The spirit takes over Paige's body and tries to kill Richard, so they will be together forever. By the end, the spirit leaves Paige and she finds peace.

Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10.

Romeo and Juliet

[Realrockerhalloween · 1 October 2016]

Love's a witch is a great concept about two warring families fighting over a couple modern day Romeo and Juliet. Paige goes to investigate finding out the feud was started when Richard's finance was killed accidentally by his family setting them at odds since. Its almost like a Mafia film with a supernatural twist as fireballs are bombarded at the mansion and family loyalty is key to their survival when reinforcements are called for. Yet I find them to be careless with magic in case neighbor's may catch wind and they do it right in front of Paige knowing nothing about her. Also it never goes into details about how either family got into magic nor how they can caste potions and spells since they are mortal. The show has made it clear that only the witch DNA enables this.

Paige is possessed by Richard's dead girlfriend and through her learn that keeping the feud going only leaves the wounds open. Its by forgiveness that they can move on with their life and be a family again. Phoebe learns her little sister is an adult who lives her own life and not to interest unless she wants to make a problem worse.
