For much of its runtime, this is an enjoyable romp, but unfortunately it fails to stick the landing. With Harry abruptly imprisoned in a basement, it's left to the rest of the characters to launch a rescue mission in a fun heist style.

We've known for three episodes that Vivienne is one of the villains of the piece, but here the Charmed Ones decide Julian's behind everything on very little evidence. It remains to be seen if they're correct.

But the final couple of scenes are maddening. Having set up the idea of Abigael living with the sisters, which seems full of potential, only to have the idea so abruptly dispensed with that I'm tempted to wonder if there was a last-minute rewrite. And whilst it remains unclear why anyone thought a Harry/Macy romance was a good idea, we're evidently meant to be rooting for them, making his sudden amnesia less of a clever twist and more of an eye-rolling contrivance.
