8.22 -- Wyatt's Powers

I have watched every episode of Charmed, I have followed the sisters through their ups and their downs, and I have watched how and listened to the people surrounding the events of The Hollow in Charmed & Dangerous. But for the life of me, at Kill Billie, Vol. 2's end, I thought I had the answer to Wyatt's powers. I had thought that he had reacquired what he had lost when The Hollow was returned to its precious box. Oh, how I was wrong. Brad has done it again. The great Charmed writer has formed a dilemma that I thought was solved. Wyatt didn't reacquire his powers that The Hollow absorbed via Billie and Christy. And though I find it weird that Piper hadn't fixed the problem in the future or the fact that she didn't know, I have to hand it to Brad for working his way around the solution that we thought was solid as a rock -- when boxed, The Hollow returns any powers.

You see, The Hollow didn't return to the box via the combined powers of good and evil. It wasn't sent back by the fierce words of the magical; instead, The Hollow returned on its own when it kicked its own behind. Having broken in half, The Hollow was forced to fire upon itself as the Halliwell sisters faced off with the Jenkins sisters. And in doing so, The Hollow was wounded on both halves. The Halliwells wounded the half of The Hollow in the Jenkins sisters, and the Jenkins sisters wounded the half in the Halliwell sisters. And so The Hollow retreated back to the safety of its prison, back with the powers it had gained. Brad, you little genius.

Having returned to the box on its own accord, the rules we once thought were laws were thrown out. Thus, Wyatt had no magic. He's a witch with no power, a whitelighter with no healing touch, a great power that is powerless. And in the past, that idea might had been good to Chris and those that Wyatt torchers in the future when he swims in the dark sea of evil. But now, now it is bad. Wyatt without his powers means a little less Charmed power in the future. So how does one get their powers back? You get your Charmed mother to return to the pass and stop the evil to rectify the future. So it is that Wyatt's power returned when the past was changed to erase the deed that left the being who stopped all magic without his proper heritage, his proper place.

P.S. I just loved having Wes Ramsey back as Future Wyatt. He is so delicious and hot, and his voice...oh, his voice is so husky and sexy. And let me just say that when Wyatt obtained his powers and he orbed right beside his mom...well, that was just so cute. He looked adorable as well as handsome. Is that possible? I don't know. And let me just say that it was so great when future Wyatt said, "Uncle Coop." I screamed so loud with glee. Hee. Hee.

Okay. What were your thoughts on Wyatt's place in this episode? Did you have any misgivings on The Hollow keeping the powers it stole? What was your favorite Wyatt scene?
