2.11 "Origins" a.k..a- The Best Episode in the WORLD.

-I'll admit right now. I was bummed to see Piper's name in the beginning of the episode because I'm just so damn eager to jump into some great Madame E-ness and learn her name already. My heart is honestly pumping in excitement as I'm finally at the episode where I'll get to learn why she's so angry, what her name is, what happened on that night she turned and possibly what lead her to the Suit and such. These are all questions I'm sure will be answered within this episode.
-Back to Piper, I do want to see how she's dealing with her Leo loss, so of course, the sisters have to be included within this episode, and I'll get my Madame E. in time.
-I'll admit right now. It's so nice for Phoebe to be able to threaten someone, "Stop or I'll use my power on you." This would be the only threatening time to say that and I love it.
-Sigh. Piper didn't even utter Leo. I was hoping to see some sisterly insight on that, but I'm sure the next episode will carry out that conversation, but I am glad to discover that the party is for Piper's accomplishments. I hope Jackson attends the party as he played a huge role in helping her achieve that.
-Omg, Madame E. sure knows how to end a scene. I recognized her great confidence shattering as soon as I saw a shaking hand to her face. That was amazing and the description was way better than usual. Over the top fantastic. And she's willing to share with the Suit? Wow. Seeing her cry makes ME hate the Charmed Ones. And then they're celebrating on this apparent night, it makes me reach out for her further. Reyn, if you bring me to tears will this story I will kick your ass, lol. Or of course, I'll have Avo foolishy charge Madame E. with his crossbow and vast abilities to wage war on your fic, lol. He has a Darklighter Army...Lol, don't screw with him. (Back to reading- Admire how long this review is going to be since I'm only just getting to the Opening Credits. You deserve it though as I know you wanted this episode to go just right.)
-At the risk of losing all sense of masculinity, I have to say that I'm touched by her story so far. She reminds me of Paige with falling into the care of parents who she loved fiercely and then to have a simple name such as Abigail. Wow. (Avo and Abigail!!! Lol) Also, it's funny because in my fic I've named Paige's adoptive mother Sarah in my Chapter 6. Not saying you copied obviously, but I find it so freakin' cool. And then of course the father's name is Henry, Paige's beau. Lol. Need I say more? Two peas in pod, these two would get along.
-Lol, BESSIE! Hahaha.
-Omg, Henry and Sarah! That was such an amazing scene. I'm pretty much speechless after it. I wonder if this will be when she comes into her powers. But wow. Amazing scene.
-Okay, when the boy bumped into Abigail, it reminded me of Spider-Man, lol. How Peter let the guy go and then he killed his uncle, lol. Just wanted to state that.
-"And that's how I lost my family the first time." Whoa. Wow. Obviously there has to be more as she can't just blame the CO's for that, but I'm assuming she might be talking about her Academy family. Idk. Reading on.
-Yay- a Leo moment. I thought the first scene was going to be the only Sisters one, but it's working as a rather fine balance right now.
-I liked the exchange between "Change can be a good thing" that dragged off with Piper and Abigail. (Yes, she has a name now!!!)
-Omg, only 7 years for the murder of two people? I think that Madame E. is going to get justice herself, but that makes me wonder if she can truly be a part of the Academy if she does something so horrible like killing him. Or maybe she wont reach him out at all since he's in jail and her power will just awaken to match that of her mood-character-emotions. Idk. Reading on.
-I checked out the cottage and it does look rather homely, lol. Nice selection.
-Ha. Abigail was a teacher? I see her as the type that would incinerate a child now, but she does seem to have too kind of a heart. We obviously see her building in anger after the court scene, but she's fine again for now. It makes me wonder about what it's going to take to make her transform into Madame E if the death of her parents didn't. Well, obviously power, but still.
-Abigail Morgan. yay! We got a last name as well, lol.
-Jake Flynn. Ah! I'm halfway through the episode and no Academy yet, but I'm assuming that we'll get somewhere now because of Abigail saying, "Something magical." I wonder if we'll be able to see her in a white dress like we saw the other two chicks at the Academy when Candice was recruited.
-Oh wow, she saved Bobby with her powers! Go Abigail! I was so happy to see the fire brush from her fingertips for that first time and ignite that pale son of a b!tch.
-I did think that Jake was a little calm with hearing that Abby was off sprouting fire from her fingers, but you acknowledged that adn it was all I could ask for. He really was just loving her unconditionally.
-Ooh, will Prue tell Ryan? I hope so. It'd be a great scene as opposed to him just finding out.
-"What is it?" "Only one way to find out!" That exchange reminded me of 16 year old Abigail. I found that really cool.
-Who is that man clad in the leather mask, so to speak.
-See,I'm loving the CO's scenes because we're getting through some issues I might've thought would've appeared sooner, like the questioning of where Phoebe has been and the ring around her neck. I did love that scene though as I have every other this episode.
-I love all these M.E narrations, particularly the one about her power training with the dummy.
-Oh, no, Bessie! She was with Abigail since she was sixteen! She was with her when they were driving to the new cottage. I had a feeling she was going to die, but O-M-G! Neck snapped?!
-Omg Omg Omg. This alley scene is amazing so far, but I have to stop before I read the end of it. Jake being shocked and nailed with an energy ball has been gruesome, but the twist of how the CO's are involved with this kills me. All because they wanted her power to take them out and she doesn't even blame her abilities (Well, at least at the point I'm up too) but she blames them instead and I have to say...I think I would too, but I must read on right now.
-Oh wow, fire whips? Abigail and Rose (my Rose) are similar. Both hauled @ss in a rainy setting and really killed out of vengeance for the first time. I think Abby and Rose are going to have to settle this in a full on duel, lol.
-Aww, I liked Leo's letter. Definitely great to have some belief that all will be well again one day.
-She was pregnant?! It must've been that blow to the stomach that robbed her of her child.
-Yes! She got revenge on the guy who killed her parents!!! But one thing I don't understand; you startde saying he was here 8 years and Abigail said 7. The judge also said seven in the court scene.
-(Every sound fades but that of the burning cab and in that moment, amidst the flames, Madame Executive is born.) I loved that line.
-That was an absolutely fantastic episode in every possibly way. Well, almost. First, I'm so glad to understand why her vengeance is in act and I agree with her; she killed the demons and she feels the need to pass blame and that's being understandably directed at the Charmed Ones. I'm actually rooting for her, haha. It's so sad that we won't see them jump into it until the finale, but I hope that we can at least get a scene of her walking past them or her watching them walk past hre. How eerie would that be?
Couple of things though; wasn't she part of the Academy? Or is that what she meant by a story that was unimportant for now? As much as I enjoyed the sisters' party, this episode would've been perfect if they used their powers aganst evil. It woud've livened their scenes a little more, but I think it's unfair to say that since I was basically just hoping for every Abby scene, lol. I hope we see some Flasback scenes at her at the academy.

Great episode, Reyn, adn certainly worth the wait. Her tale was a sad one. Even her dog died!


Favorite Quotes:

PHOEBE I even cleaned the Manor to make it look spotless. (off Prue's look) Helped clean. (again off Prue's look) Oh, ok, I stayed out of Prue's way while she vacuumed and polished.

(LOL. I was actually going to say that Phoebe was a bit OOC there, but then you captured it at the right moment. Nice work.)

[I feel I should state right now that I see a ton of favorite quotes from Madame E., which Im loving, so Im just going to post them.)

-MADAME EXECUTIVE So - the Charmed Ones are throwing a party? How lovely for them.
-MADAME EXECUTIVE (unimpressed) It must be nice when your world is all rainbows and roses.
(She's so venomous, I love it.)

-MADAME ECECUTIVE - According to our Agent's last report, the oldest sister is happily in a relationship, the youngest sister is doing well at college and has apparently mastered her new ability, and now the middle sister can put 'successful business owner' on her resume along with professional demon killer.
(Omg, she's just on a roll.)

RYAN (smiling) I do my research.
(Agent clue, perhaps?)

PIPER - Yeah well - I didn't know where to send his invitation. Is the Ethereal Plane a suburb, or street address?
(Ha! I would say my only issue with his quote is that I don't see Piper referencing it as the Ethereal Plane as you do, as I don't remember Leo stating it as that. I think she's more of tagreting the Plane as some Afterlife Plane or something, but it's nothing major and I got a laugh out of it.)

Also, a fun note, but aside from the premiere, I'm the first comment in every episode thread so far, lol. And I was the first to see this episode because Im such a Madame E. lover. I just thought I would boast that for no apparent reason, lol.

Please hurry with the next episode, Reyn!

[Reyn]

Many thanks for reposting all of your wonderful reviews here, Adam! (I will return the favor, of course )

Another fun note - I believe you were the first person ever to comment about this season (and remembering correctly, you were a little worried about the 'big bad'). I am so happy that despite your early reservations, she has become one of your favourite characters of this season!

[Deleted]

WOW!! Very simply WOW!! I pulled and Es I skipped ahead in order to read this, only reading the parts about Madame Executive and all I can say is WOW!

[Reyn]

^ I hope that's a good WOW, and not a 'what the heck was that balony' WOW

[Deleted]

Definitely WOW!as in FANTASTIC! I have a hunch I'd enjoy your non-Charmed fics a lot more than your Charmed ones! ME's story was wonderfully, fantastically done! I'm definitely going to go back and do the same thing I did here...read the ME parts and skip the sisters parts.

[Lexi]

Yay! Got through the next episode. Although, I'll admit that I wanted to jump straight to your new one since it gives the identiny of the agent but I'll behave and read through this one and episode 12 first.

SPOILER: Click to show

Starting with Piper fussing about the table was a great start especially with how the last episode left. I also loved Phoebe's line "I will use my power on you", I'm sure that's something that Phoebe has wanted to say for a while and now she finally gets to! I'm really surprised she didn't tell her sisters straight away about her and Leo though! I thought it would have been something she would have shared with Prue straight away.

"The club is apparently making a profit." That line intrigued me since if the agent was Jackson it wouldn't be apparently it would be a definite. Makes me wonder now whether it really is Ryan. I may have just read into that line a little deeper than intended, but I know you put clues in places so I just thought I'd mention it.
To see M.E a little less confident than we've seen her before was great to see, there's not often you see a "bad guy" (put in quotes because I'm not too sure whether she really is that evil yet) suffering from emotional outbursts, it adds a human side to her, something that was great with Cole in the real show.

We finally find out her name - Abigail. M.E's history is really interesting, how she started off in a good family. I had a feeling that her parents would die, otherwise they would have been mentioned before. I thought it was going to be demons, so the fact that it was a boy robbing the church was a nice touch. Its amazing how human you made her, all the feelings and emotions.

I'm still waiting for the truth to come out about Arcas, especially for Prue's reaction of "Oh I've met him before, he helped me with a lesson I had to learn". I would love to see the look on all three sisters' faces.

Ah, so there was no direct link between M.E and TCOs, instead it was because of another demon. That's interesting, I did wonder what TCOs could have done. I understand her want for vengeance now, since she doesn't understand that TCOs were vanquish demons to save people. All she sees is a reason for why her fiance was killed.

The ending to the episode was perfect and definitely explains why M.E is the way she is.

This is my favourite episode so far now. Best episode yet and I think it may take a while to beat it! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve now.

[Reyn]

I think if you read through 2.12 first, 2.13 will definitely have more of an impact!

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm sure Phoebe has wanted to say that line so many times, what with the amount of instances where she wished for a more active power! That line was my little nod to that - to show that in BAM, at least, she has that opportunity. Regarding your Piper/Leo comment - Piper did mention to her sisters that she and Leo broke up - she just did it off screen. I agree with you in that something like that would be something she would share straight away with Prue. The two are very close.

I definitely put in hints in every episode! But is that hint a correct one, or a red herring? Glad to see you enjoyed the 'human side' of Madame Executive - that is something I've been trying to do more of in the most recent episodes - to put a human face on the 'baddie' (and I, too, use quotes because as you mention, M.E isn't completely evil, at least not in the Charmed sense of the word). I like that she has human failings and emotions, but at the same time it is those emotions that make her so dangerous. Because as things stand at the moment, she really does have nothing left to lose.

I'm also happy to hear you found her backstory interesting. I wanted to make her history explosive and memorable - a history to match the character. And I didn't want to make it all tragic - I wanted her to have some happiness as well. The fact that she had that happiness ripped away from her makes it all the more tragic, though.

That is true! Prue has met Arcas before! As to her reaction when seeing him - well - without giving too much away - that is featured in 2.13 as well

"There was no direct link between M.E and TCO's" - that's a hard one for me to answer! Because there is a link between the two other than the one mentioned here. But is it direct? Define direct M.E's feelings are interesting ones, though. Because to her, the Charmed Ones are responsible for her losing everything she cared about. Sure, they didn't kill Jake or her unborn baby, but it was because of them that they died. If they didn't exist, she'd be happily married with a kid, and so she blames them. After Jake's death, she stripped away everything that she used to be and used her need for revenge to sustain her. All she lives for now is to see the Charmed Ones suffer as much as she did. She's plotted the Charmed Ones' downfall, and all the while, they have no idea she even exists.

The ending remains one of my favourite scenes of the whole series - because I can picture it perfectly in my mind.

Thank you for your review, Lexi! So 2.11 is your favourite out of all the episodes you have read? Putting 2.10 as your second favourite? It will probably take a lot to beat 2.11, but I'm hoping 2.13 can do it!

The last review you had :

SPOILER: Click to show

Aha, Piper fussing about when nervous is just so in character! And Phoebe messing with the champagne and laughing falsely at her lie as well!

“The neurotic one is having issues
with her boyfriend? Imagine that!”
Excuse me? Watch your tongue, you blonde! :-o

“RYAN
(smiling)
I do my research.”
I bet you do -_-

“PHOEBE (CONT'D)
Champagne - oh my God, you're a lifesaver.”
Yeah, or a cold-blooded killer lol

You do like your rain, don’t you? What is it, rain season?

Oh, Madame E is an abandoned child :-o and she was raised by a priest? Pretty ironic

She seems to have had such a peaceful childhood

Oooh, a golden retriever! I have a Labrador retriever myself Love the name, btw hehe Mine’s called Gil – yeah, right, like Grissom in CSI (I didn’t choose -_-)

I knew Abigail Morgan would say that “happiness could not last” :s I like how you managed to give us her complete, “human” name

Oh god :s you made me wanna cry :s that was some emotional scenes you got there.

Aha love how Piper can’t stay “on the backseat” ahaha

“PRUE
So - Jackson's here, but no Leo.
PIPER
(sarcastic)
Yeah, well - I didn't know where to send his invitation. Is the Ethereal Plane a suburb, or street address?”
OMG

Sorry I forget reviewing but I am just willing to get to know the full story of Madame E’s :$

Hey! I wish I had had classes like those

Ah, an act that ends on a happy note, that’s new hehe

Love the cake interaction hehe

“JAKE (CONT'D)
I hope you like it - it was the last red velvet cake Lisa had left and I practically had to fight John for it. Luckily my manly bravado saved the day and I walked away with the cake!”
oh, he’s so sweet

“ABIGAIL
Isn't John 12?
JAKE
(in mock hurt)
Hey! The kid has a mean right hook!”
ahaha

Wow, She sure does not need a potion to vanquish Grimlocks loool

Ooooh! I like how she tells Jake at once, not like the sisters lol well, it must be either to tell someone you already love beforehand when you receive powers After you met them than starting the first conversation by “Hey, I’m a demonbutt kickass witch, wanna go out with me tonight?”

I like how right after ME says she’s told her secret, you go to Piper discussing that same matter ^^ and I like how Prue doesn’t want to speak about that

Huh-uh, why would Ryan narrow his eyes at Jackson? Does he feel something from him?

“JAKE
Only one way to find out!”
love how he says the exact same thing as her parent at the beginning ^^

“ABIGAIL
(passionate, serious)
Yes. My answer is yes.
JAKE
(feigning ignorance)
What was the question?”
aha

I like how her being turned “evil” comes from a plot very much like for Christy ^^ how it’s just all a set-up against the Charmed Ones! But I guess something in Leather’s plan will go wrong since she looks pretty much alive to me and still has a lot of powers lol

Oh ho, do I sense Prue demanding to know who Phoebe is seeing ??

“PHOEBE
(surprised)
I get a flush?
PRUE
Piper seems to think so. And now that I look, I see what she means.”
Mwahaha

“PHOEBE
(conceding)
Well, there is a little bit of mystery.”
Just a little bit, sure -_-

Again with the rain ?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You didn’t kill Bessie! Nooooooooooooo!!
That made me nearly cry [122]

I wanted to put a “Lol Piper’s much into Ryan”, but I feel like it’s misplaced with Bessie’s murder I know it can seem strange that I did react as fiercely for Kara’s death, but I just experience the death of my own dog and it’s just hard, so, well.

“PIPER
(reassuring)
It's OK, Phoebe. I'm not the big sister - you won't get any lectures from me.”
Hehe

“PHOEBE
You know what I think? I think you worry too much. You should eat your cake - it's good.”
Ah, good old reckless Pheebs *sigh*

“PRUE
It did. And now everyone's gone, I believe there's a pile of plates in the kitchen with your name on them!”
ah

I loved the note from Leo, it reminded me of his Valentine’s card

Well, you actually managed to bring tears in my eyes. Well done, that’s one of the first times it has happened.

Oooooooh, she’s going to kill the one that killed her parents

I do like how he seemed to be touched by God when he killed God’s priests under God’s roof

One could say Madame Executive was born off Abigail’s ashes

Love the little battle fire-rain, two distinct elements. Wonder if that’s foreshadowing how Abigail’s demise will happen?

I have been deeply pleased (and saddened, but oh well) by this episode. From what I had gathered, I thought the sisters were Actually responsible for the ordeals M.Ex had endured; now I can see she’s just looking for the perfect culprit and I can go on loving my sisters deeply hehe
I gotta admit that, at first, I thought the Man in Leather would only kill Jake and persuade Abby that it was the COs’ doing. When I realized it was of her own accord she was after the sisters, I understood she was just on some rampage

What is horrible on her behalf is that she is perfectly aware that the Charmed Ones do good things and protect the innocent, but yet solely her revenge matters, no matter how much good the sisters have already done.

Aaaah. So now do I torture you and keep the last two reviews to myself ? Or do I give them away? ehehe...

[Dark Witch.]

Here is my review for Episode 11!

SPOILER: Click to show

I really liked the scne with the sisters. A good moment that we get to see here, and you always do so well with the sister interactions. So thank you for doing thatm it was a great scene!

Oh my god! You lead the deception so well! With what madame Executive jut said, I have the GREATEST feeling that Arcas is their agent. Though Ryan seemed like the perfect candidate, the fact that he reported Prue is in a happy relationship steers away from the possibility of Ryan, for why would he report something that they know he is? Very nicely done! Also, i wonder what the reason for Charmed hatred is. Can't wait to find out!

Ryan, he is a very myterious character...He still gets me, I now am split, i can;t decide if he is good or bad, if he is the agent or not...guess we shall find out soon!

Hmm M.Executive was given up at birth huh? That seems like a very rocky start to begin with. Someone who was given up, guess we shall see how this all turns out!

I am trying to figure out how a powerful demon could come from such a sweet girl who had no torubles into a demon...I am interested to see how this comes along....

I think that was nice to get her a dog, but still, it is still bafflnig me this girl could become so evil...

Well that could explain how Abagail turned evil, after losing parents in that dramatic way, that would be a horrible thing to witness, and that could change someone to do dark deeds, so nicely done!

I wonder what you will do with Piper and leo, will they get back together? Or will jackson fill that space? I have a feelign that you will have Piper have to choose like before in Season 2 where Piper had to chose between Leo and Dan. Though Jackson is a little more believeable because of how they work so much more intimate with the club and everything.

I have always said that the court system was never right. We always have things unfair, but you cannot ever please anyone...But I can ow see how Abagail turned to evil, btut hat doesnt explain the Charmed hatred, guess we shall see...

This is really nice, seeing that Abagail was a teacher, it showed she had a heart, that she wasn't just an evil woman who took the lives of people and didn't care who lived or died...

Interesting, she was smitten by someone. I have a feeling he turns to the reason why she turns completely evil, btu still the Charmed Ones...hmmm...

The scene with the sisters is still really cool, that was a good sister scene with Phoebe. That was a very Phoebe thing to do, so you did a great job!

AWESOME! You included the Grimlocks! Now I can see why she doesnt like the Charmed Ones. She wanted revenge and the Charmed Ones took it from her...

I guess i was wrong, but then we have to think of who her biological parents were then...that must mean her father was a demon. That is interesting, and that jake took it so well was a nice twist too, but I wonder what other event will change this happy scene once more...

I wonder...maybe Jackson is the agent....Oh my god, Jackson is the agent! AHHH! lol.

Hmmm, so now the demons wants her power. It is unique that Abigail coudl destory the Grimlock since the Charmed Ones had to use a potion...I guess we shall see what happens...

Huh, well Arcas almost got busted, but it was pretty sad that Prue thinks so little of Phoebe's standards, but it is also pretty sad that Phoebe didn't defend him ore strongly, saying that Arcas made the ring, i don;t know, just a little banter on my part lol. Nice scene.

That is so sad! Bessie is dead! That was a pretty graphic scene and I liked it, but gave me a horrific visual at the same time, so I praise you on your description.

So that is why she is so mad at the Charmed Ones, for if they didn't exist, Jake would still be alive...and her power is pretty powerful, for the Charmed Ones to face her, it will be hard...I can see that already.

I think it is nice that leo sent her a letter, and though it is too soon for them to see each other, it will be nice to see what will happen next for these two lovers.

That is really sad, she lost her baby...she could have been a mother...darn.

I was right, that was why she wanted the Charmed Ones dead! Well, that would be a very vengful reason for killing someone, but I guess we shall see what happens.

Wow, she went and killed the man who killed her parents, that is also really cool how you said that was how she was born, Very interesting...

Wow...that is really interesting, I really liked this episode, it shows the motives of Madame Executive, and how she came to be, a very needed episode, very nicely written. Great job!

Can't wait for episode 12!

[melindacharm]

Here is my review!! So excited for this episode. COMPLETED!!

SPOILER: Click to show

Scene 1- Love this starting of the episode. Its classic and cool. A party hehe. Well all I can say is Piper does deserve it more than anyone after all the work she has put into Alchemy. HA! was about to say P3 but didnt. Also I like the Piper figgiting for the cloth and the Prue comment. Most of all though I like the Phoebe comment. " GOT IT!" Something I would say.

Scene 2-" It must be nice when your world is all rainbows and roses." Nice Quote I especially like it because im sure it will tell alot about Mme Executive in this episode. " Everything they touch turns to gold. It makes me sick." I love this one too hehe. I can picture this without much effort. Well done on the getting into the character part. For some weird reason I feel like hugging Mme Executive. Like almost as if her reason, her pain everything she has been hurting for is reason enough to kill someone else. Like her painfully memory / event is worth or more than enough to put aside all other rational factors and help her with her plans.

Scene 3- As Phoebe / Ryan are toasting to good times and warm company I cant help but feel even worse for the Piper situation. Phoebe has Arcas, Prue has Ryan, Piper has nobody.

Scene 4- A church? thats a bit random but It might come in important later so cant say much.

Scene 5 -nooo. So sad. That lady? that lady in Mme Executive's story is her mother?. She gave her daughter up to give her a better life. Like Patty did for Paige. Only, this story seems sadder. Like Harry Potter ha. Only thing I could seem to compaire it to.
This is very weird to me. If Henry and Sara were Mme Executive's Orphan parents than why did she turn out to be so mean?. awww. Mme Executive finally sounds nice, sounds like in that one moment as a baby. Being with these parents made her feel whole. Like she belonged nowhere else but with them.

Scene 6- I like this flashback nice simple childhood flashback.

Scene 7- Its cute to see Mme Executive having such fond memories of her childhood. Especially on a night where the sisters are celebrating too. Coincidence I think not!. Also who is Mme Executive supposable played by on your series?. I would like to see the actress.

Scene 8- Abagail, what a lovely name. For a happy child. For someone who was loved and saw the world for the bright joyfulness it could have. Than she changed her name?. So sad, but change is necessary sometimes. Lets you see how a person has changed. I know I have much more than I would have thought. Nice that future Abagail " Mme Executive" has to ruin the happy times..

Scene 9- Over scene? whats that mean..

Scene 10 - Mme Executive is now 26? I think as this scene says eight years ago. Also why is it you picked thoughs specific ages of Abagails life to flashback on?. Not others. Just wondering if there's a purpose behind it.

Scene 11- Sarah sounds so loving and open to her daughter. I have a feeling her parents were the only real love Mme Executive ever had. What a nice scene this was. Truly, I liked it. Everyone seems so happy. Like tonight when the charmedones are celebrating, however I cannot help but feeling something dramatic will stop Abagail from returnign to the church.

Scene 12- This is not what I expected in the least. So sad. I feel bad for Henry, he didnt have to witness this at all yet he did. Why does that always happen to good people? and that kid who killed Sarah is he what inspires Abagail to do what her future self has done and become evil. Becoming Mme Executive?

Scene 13- Nice scene, shows without words the extent of the crime. " And that's how I lost my family the first time." Accurate yet still confusing. Who was her second family?.

Scene 14- True, the sisters didnt hear yet about the Piper / leo seperation. I like Prue's comment. " Jackson is here yet not leo" Or something. Its a weird thing to see someone you love being seperated and moving on with their life when your stuck in the gutter. Makes you think if they even felt anything to begin with?

Scene 15- Mme Executive and Piper share an eerie connection when it comes to change. Its almost nerve recking to see to totally different people looking at the same subject with the same opinions yet they are on opposite ends. If im making any sense.. I think only a few selected people get to witness events so horrible that change them forever while others continue there life as planned, but it is thoughs people who see the events that become the strongest in life.

"Change can be many things to many people.
For some it's the impetus they need
to start afresh, for others it's
their chance to try something
completely new, experience things
previously only dreamed of. Change
can be a good thing."

I really like this quote too. It is the truth, and nothing less.

Scene 16- SUBURBAN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.

What a scene. Its not too detailed yet it gets the point across. Its something that would have to happen to explain to the suit the crime. How it was discovered.

Scene 17- In this matter I totally agree with Mme Executive / Abagail. I would hate the criminal too for doing this. I would hate the punishment. I would want revenge. Its totally natural, humanly. However I cannot say it is right.

Scene 18- Is Abagail running? running from everything connected to the murder. Leaving behind what meant dear to her.

Scene 19- I am very surprised that after all Abagails anguish, despaire, and anger she has been able to find a loving accepting place instead of turning to the wrong type of people for revenge. Very strong of her.

Scene 20- They didn't ask many questions, and
that suited me perfectly. All I
wanted to do was settle into my new
life without thinking about what I
had left behind.

She left didnt she? I mean ran away from her past.

Scene 21- ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY.
Moving to school, I wonder what this scene has to do in importance to Abagails memory.

Scene 22- Isnt it a weird thing, as soon as we think everything is finished and done. As soon as we heal from one concept we do not know in the moment but another is planning to pop up. Than we realize we never really lost the first memory.

Scene 23- awwwwww. So loving and touching. Wipping tears. Haha. Yes though I do like that scene very much. Mme Executive finds her first love. However the main thing that was playing in my mind while reading this scene was the mere fact that as students we never really know are teachers personnal lives. Being a good thing or not, she is a very gifted teacher I must give her that. She had so much potential in her younger years.

Scene 24- The Piper situation seems to insignificant now in comparison to Mme Executive's crisis. I have no excitement for it anymore.

Scene 25- again Overseen?

Scene 26- LINVILLE, AVERY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA - 2 YEARS AGO.

Another cute love scene. Nice, too bad good things never last. It is true though. Hate to be a party pooper. However the time they had would probably be unforgettable to Abagail. It would be to me.

Scene 27- Bobby must be Abagails favourite student. Like a teachers pet. He probably, ( assuming again sry) reminds her of herself.

Scene 28- Nice, she saved Bobby. Not out of anger or being scared it was out of love and protectionalism. Very caring and is loving towars the type of person she was. For a minute there I thought she would have Prue's powers but guess not my bad. What I also noticed is the grimlock who was watching Mme Executive is just like the Suit I guess. Working for a higher level demon which is what Mme Executive becomes. Sounds good hun?

Scene 29- This scene is an incite to Mme Executives thoughts. More than the others in a way. You see she could trust something that her present self I think lost. She questioned who she was like everyone else does time and time again. What is now my train of thought is this. " Past Abagail may be scared of her powers and what she is becoming, but present Mme Executive is proud of thoughs things that once feared her."

Scene 30- MANOR - CONSERVATORY - NIGHT.
Nice scene, as Prue is holding back from doing something that she shouldnt be. At least she knows Piper is there for her as well as she is there for Piper. Prue needs to take the leap of faith. She should'nt doubt someone she has known for awhile and especially if she is making a commitment to him in her non charmed life.

Scene 31- Uh ohh who's the man?? Why is he changing innocent Abagail!!! grr if her does CAUSE I WANT HER TO STAY!!!.

Scene 32- Mme Executive never gave up on her dreams did she? and still she somewhat regrets taking the path she did in the present.
I still remember his smile as he
placed that ring on my finger - a
smile that spoke of all the things
we would face together, all the
plans we would make.

Scene 33- UNDERGROUND LAIR - NIGHT.
These men are so arragant! Why is everyone after the charmedones?. Why is it that everyone is doing the same thing that the previous demons did. Mme Executive has been following in their path knowingly or not.

Scene 34- LOVE THIS QUOTE!!! " Oh look. Here's Jackson. You two
have fun." Such a Phoebe thing to say. I like it. Why is Piper mortified to see Jackson?. He has done nothing wrong.

Scene 35- Phoebe was lucky on that one. I dont find it fair or trusting towards her sisters that Phoebe is lying. She might love Arcas but her sisters are still her family and they have known her longer. They deserve the truth and not some stupid excuse.

Scene 36- HOMELY COTTAGE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT.
Short loving scene. Lol Ive noticed you like to get a bit carried away in random scenes.

Scene 37- HOMELY COTTAGE - BASEMENT.
Mme Executive is practicing just like young Phoebe is now. However will future Mme Executive be using her deadly powers against the sisters the way she is practicing to use them in the past?

Scene 38- I have a huge feeling that the weather is foreshadowing an event of great tragety. : (.

Scene 39- LOCAL BAR - MAIN ROOM - NIGHT. Yes!!! knew it was foreshadowing something bad.

Scene 40- HOMELY COTTAGE - KITCHEN. You just had to kill off the dog? grr I dont like that at all she was harmless and innocent.

Scene 41- I like how Mme Executive has such a detailed emotion filled memory. Makes you judge her less.

Scene 42- Piper is too worrysom. You see I think it is totally up to Prue. Piper may cast suggestions but with or without Prue's past this step needs to be done and Prue will be strong and to my opinion she wont be hurt as much as with Andy because this time she will be half expecting it.

Scene 43- This scene is so sad. She is always ending up holding a lifeless body of someone she loves in her embrace. In the end I understand her anger but think it is targetted at the wrong source. She should be killing demons not the charmedones. Another thing I think is this is all detailed and almost as if you witnessed some bad times. Did some of these things you write remind you of real house hold related situations. Dont mean to get too personnal but is a household thing used to inspire you for this scene.

Scene 44- MANOR - ENTRANCEWAY - NIGHT.
Leo is such a suck up. Although I admire the way you wrote the letter.

Scene 45- how much more death can one woman take??? does it ever end..

scene 46- the unborn child would have been enough to tick me off. My judgement is slowly fading. Poor woman.

Scene 48- Mme Executive knew exackly who to blame did she?. It would be the charmedones of course. They were the cause behind all these occurances. However did she ever stop to think that they too have lost loved ones the same way she lost her husband. So they are not entirely to blame. I think Mme Executive would be closest in loss with Prue. Prue might be able to help understand and convince Mme Executive to stop this fight.

Scene 49- HOMELY COTTAGE - STUDY
Nice, now Mme Executive is motivated beyond all beliefs she doesnt even want to talk. To see there side, to see if they even knew about any of this..

Scene 50- MARION CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE - DAY.
BEAUTIFUL!! nice scene. She is horrible but I am not doubting her decisions for a second. I love how you played out this scene. It is a good representation of her changing forms from light to dark. From secure to revengeful. I would not think she would have caught him, at least not that fast. You had me wondering who the driver was.

Scene 51- ABANDONED OFFICE COMPLEX - NIGHT.
Everything is good and now caught up, the only question I have is Mme Executive said " The WOMAN who killed her second family." What does she mean by that. It was the charmedones fault in her eyes. The charmedones plural. What does she mean by one woman???. Also I loved the personality of young of Abagail / Mme Executive. She had so much more life, much more easily predictable.

[Ren]

Can I just start off by stating the obvious? Ali Larter is friggen gorgeous. Seriously. Every time you look at her it’s like, wow. Even in the first season of Heroes, when she was all locked up in her padded cell with her little straight jacket, and she should have looked like crap, but Ali Larter looking like crap is still a bajillion times more stunning than the rest of the world on their very best of days… man. Screw you Ali Larter. Anyway, on with the review, lol.

Of course Phoebe forgot the champagne, lol. That girl slays me. I loved her threat toward Piper should Piper force her to change the tablecloth again, and I loved Prue’s flat, “Don’t even think about it.” command to Piper when she made a move for the table for the millionth time. I think this was my absolute favourite part though;

PHOEBE
I even cleaned the Manor to make it look spotless.
(off Prue’s look)
Helped clean.
(again off Prue’s look)
Oh, ok, I stayed out of Prue’s way while she vacuumed and polished.

So perfect, haha.

Seeing Madame Executive lose her ever-present air of cold aloofness was something else. You can’t blame the Suit for being confused… one minute, she’s burning him, the next, she’s crying in front of him. You almost feel bad for the diabolical minion. Almost.

What a senseless crime. Two deaths for what has to be an absolute maximum of like, a hundred bucks. That whole scene made me so, so angry. People are so stupid.

It’s really neat the way you keep continuously switching between the joviality of Piper’s party, and Madame Executive’s sad story. The contrasts really serve to make the audience sympathize with a character that thus far, they've been viewing solely from a strict “villain” black/white standpoint. I’ve loved Madame Executive from the beginning because, as I’ve said, I’m big on the intelligent bad guys, but in the back of my head I never forget that eventually, the Charmed Ones are going to be successful vanquishing her. And now, a part of me is probably going to be a little sad when that happens, not just because it means the end of a crazy roller coaster ride, but because a character, who started out so happy and full of promise, fell so far from the life she started.

Jake is adorable. Their banter over the cake, and Jake fighting John (the 12 year old) was too cute. It’s taken me awhile to adjust to this very human, tragic version of Madame Executive, but I’m really getting into it. Abigail. A lovely name. It’s very soft. It’s easy to see why she would have had to leave it behind her. And Jake’s easy acceptance of her discovered power? Wow. What a great guy. I’m not looking forward to Jake getting killed off. Sad day. That Grimlock is going to do a number on him.

Soo I realize I should let go of my “Jackson” hardcore hate on, BUT! I would just like to point out, Ryan doesn’t seem to be too impressed by him either. Coincidence? I think not. Because Ryan is awesome, and Jackson is the agent. And he needs to get the hell out of everybody’s life already. JUST. GO. The fact that Jackson doesn’t even pick up on how mechanical Ryan’s smile is as they’re talking, is yet another strike against him. Nobody likes a person who can’t take a hint. Sheesh.

Busted. I can’t believe how taken by surprise Phoebe was when Prue called her out on the ring. She really should have known better. If she was going to wear the thing and continue keeping her relationship with Arcas a secret, she should have thought up a decent lie. She’s lucky there’s a party going on just outside the kitchen, or else Prue probably wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

There’s a weird vibe between Piper and Ryan. I thought it was just in my head before, but I’m really starting to think that… I don’t know what it is with the two of them. They just don’t quite connect. He sees Phoebe all the time, and Phoebe gets along with everyone, but he and Piper are both kind of awkward around each other. Probably because they never seem to actually spend more than thirty seconds in each other’s company, lol. Oh well. He doesn’t like Jackson. They can bond over that at a later date. It can be their first real heart to heart .

It sucks that Madame Executive's vendetta against the Charmed Ones is based entirely around circumstances they couldn’t have controlled any better than she could. It sucks, but it’s entirely understandable. She lost everything. I really don’t think I would have done any better. Being angry and focusing on destroying the Charmed Ones gives her something to feel besides unbearable sadness. Hate is probably the ultimate distraction from grief. And you know that despite her brief vulnerability on this terrible night, by tomorrow, she’ll have gotten her cold, calculated self back under control; we probably won’t ever see a break like this again. Not until the end. Her end. Sad day.

Reading her set fire to the guy that killed her parents, I probably should have felt some degree of horror or shock, but all I could feel was sad. Sad, and sorry for this person that Abigail had to turn herself into in order to cope with all the crap that life threw at her.

What a powerful ending. After episode… what was it? Nine? I had so much energy pumping I just had to go outside and do something. And with this one, I feel almost like I need to take fifteen minutes to just lie still and quiet. It’s pretty cool that you can do that to me . I can’t believe I’ve only got three left! Where did they all go?!

EDIT: I forgot to mention

LEO'S LETTER!!!!!!

I don't even know how that happened. But, I loved it. LOVED it. It made me all mushy inside, just like the V-day card. Happy day . Now I'm actually done. Promise.
