Something Wicca This Way Goes...?

Something Wicca This Way Goes...? is the 156th episode of The WB's Charmed.

Plot
With the Book of Shadows in Zankou's possession, the Charmed Ones take refuge at Magic School. Zankou and his henchmen take control of the manor. Zankou opens the Nexus and takes in the Shadow -- but the sisters cast a spell and expel it from him.

Agent Keyes from Homeland Security meets with Inspector Sheridan. She tells him of all the unsolved cases connected to the Halliwells. He tells her that the Halliwells have supernatural powers.

A number of magical beings come to Magic School and, with their help, the sisters launch a raid on the manor. Zankou is briefly turned into a pig, but reverses the spell. Phoebe tries to take the Book, but it repels her. Zankou throws a potion and steals Phoebe's power.

The sisters enter a vampire cave and Piper starts blasting. The Vampire Queen comes out and the sisters ask for her help preventing Zankou from controlling the underworld. The sisters orb to the attic -- but the vampire queen betrays them; Zankou had got to her first. He throws a potion and steals Piper's power. The sisters go to Victor and leave Chris and Wyatt with him, along with the deeds to the manor and P3. They believe they may not survive their fight with Zankou.

Sheridan enters the manor wearing a miniature camera. She intends to catch the sisters using their powers. She finds no one home and goes to the attic. Keyes tells her to get out, but she finds Zankou, who kills her with an energy ball. Keyes calls for a SWAT team.

Darryl and Sheila are picking up their kids from school when Leo flashes in. Leo tells Darryl of the impending SWAT invasion and asks him to stall. Sheila is reluctant to let him help, but Darryl promises her that it will be the last time.

Zankou breaches the defenses of Magic School and flames in. The sisters flee and scatter. Zankou throws a potion at Paige, but nothing happens -- the sisters have astrally projected and their images disappear. The sisters are really in the manor, and Zankou isn't. They say the Power of Three spell and regain control of the book just as Keyes arrives with the SWAT team.

The sisters try to open the Nexus, but Zankou blasts them and takes in the Shadow. The sisters say a spell to vanquish the Shadow, destroying both it and Zankou in a massive explosion. The SWAT team storms the manor, but finds no one. Keyes had seen the Halliwells through the window and thinks that they are dead.

As a crowd gathers outside the manor, three young women pull Leo aside. Once they're alone, they reveal themselves to be the Charmed Ones in glamours. They escaped just before the explosion, and see this as a chance to start normal, demon-free lives. They resume their glamours and give one to Leo as well. As they walk away, Phoebe spots Darryl on the Manor steps; the two exchange knowing glances. Darryl then proceeds to walk down the steps for the very last time. The Manor door is then magically closed, by Prue.

Glitches

 * In the scene where Zankou is flipping through the Book of Shadows, he comes to the page where the spell to Seperate a Witch from her Powers. This page had been ripped out of the book in Season 2 Episode 17- How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans.
 * In the scene where Piper, Phoebe and Paige face Zankou in the basement you can see that Phoebe is wearing wedges when knocked over by Zankou. When the sisters get back up you can see that Phoebe's wedges have changed into sneakers.
 * When the sisters visit the Vampire Queen to make a deal, Piper blows up several of the vampires in their bat form. But in Season 4's "Bite Me," the Book of Shadows says vampires are immune to witches' powers. It is possible that the vanqiushed queen from Season 4 was the queen of all vampires and with her death went the immunity of all of the other vampires. It is also possible that it is simply a mistake by the writers.
