Charmed and Dangerous is the 13th episode of the fourth season and the 79th overall episode of Charmed.

Summary
The Source breaks an age-old agreement between good and evil by stealing The Hollow, an ancient vapor which he uses to absorb Piper & Paige's powers. Meanwhile, Phoebe must allow Cole to help them, despite her having a premonition involving Cole sacrificing his life to save her from a demon, but there may be more to the premonition that Phoebe just can't see.

Notes and Trivia

 * The title is a reference to the phrase "armed and dangerous" which is used by police when pursuing a suspect with some kind of weapon (armed) and has the intent or ability to cause harm (dangerous).
 * This is one of the nine episodes with the series title, "Charmed", in it.
 * Piper loses her powers for the ninth time.
 * Paige loses her powers for the second time.
 * This is the second time that Leo is shot with a darklighter's arrow, the first time being "Love Hurts". This time he is healed by Paige, who was channeling his own healing power.
 * This is the first appearance of Debbi Morgan as The Seer.
 * The Seer said she helped the Charmed Ones for her own future. This seems to be foreshadowing her intricate manipulation of Cole and Phoebe in future episodes in order to become The Source in "Womb Raider".
 * This is the first appearance of the The Hollow on the show. It will appear again in "Kill Billie Vol. 2" and "Forever Charmed".
 * When the Source flames into the Halliwell Manor and attacks the sisters, he blows up the wall that Prue was thrown into, which resulted in her death in "All Hell Breaks Loose".
 * This is the second time that Pandora's box has been mentioned, it was already mentioned in "Sin Francisco". The box itself will appear in "Little Box of Horrors".
 * In this episode (and later in Desperate Housewitches) the Source is portrayed by Peter Woodward. Previously, he was played by Ben Guillory, and before that by Michael Bailey Smith (All Hell Breaks Loose).
 * When Cole comes in at the end of the episode to stop the Source, he runs in shimmering similarly to the way Leo orbed in "Murphy's Luck".
 * This is the second time Paige casts the Vanishing Spell.
 * At the beginning of the episode Piper says "Short of a darklighter, you win most likely to survive", and one shows up to kill him.
 * When the Seer claims the Source's powers went "into the void," she is making reference to the void left by Cole's demonic half being stripped of its powers.
 * This episode scored 4.7 million viewers and is tied with "All Hell Breaks Loose" as the highest ranked episode of Charmed on TV.com. It currently holds a 9.6 rating.
 * This was the first of five times that the Source was vanquished.
 * Paige wears a cream-coloured leather jacket she will wear again in "The Fifth Halliwheel" and "A Witch In Time".
 * Originally there were more scenes. The scene where Piper was writing her will was longer. It included a part where Leo asks what he is going to do with the Book of Shadows, Piper tells him to give it to one of his charges. There was also a scene where Phoebe and Cole are writing the spell to vanquish the Source.
 * This is the first time the Source shows his real face.
 * We find out in this episode that the Source lost half of his face in the battle which brought him to power. It was later mentioned, in an entry on Zankou, that it was they who'd fought each other for control over the Underworld.
 * In this episode when the Source was about to kill the Charmed Ones, the Source says "Say hello to Prue for me." In "Give Me a Sign", Prue says to Litvack before he was vanquished, "Tell the Source that we said Hi."

Glitches

 * When the Source unfreezes the vase he blew up a piece falls on the stand where the vase stood on. The piece disappears as the camera pans up.
 * When the Seer disappeared after helping the Charmed Ones, the camera is panned back to Cole (when he says "A very evil person"), some of the Seer's hair can be seen at the left side of the screen.
 * The Source's voice is noticeably higher in the scenes preceding the opening credits. Throughout the rest of the episode his voice is considerably lower through the use of special effects.
 * When The Source throws a fireball at Piper, if you pause just before she hits the wall, you can see her stunt double's face.
 * When the Source uses Telekinesis to throw Paige into the mattresses and boxes, you can see a cream colored long sleeve shirt on the stunt double and their actual skin tone on their hands.
 * When Cole throws fireballs at the Source, the crystal that the Source orbed earlier is still shown on his left hand. However, when the sisters cast the spell to vanquish him, the crystal is no longer visible. Then when the camera's angle shifts to above his head, the Source is shown holding the crystal again.
 * When the Source opens the box containing the Hollow for the first time, you can clearly see wires inside the box.

Quotes

 * The Source: What did you see?
 * The Seer: I saw... your demise.


 * Cole: (referring to the demon in Phoebe's premonition) What'd he look like?
 * Phoebe: Creepy half-face, and his good side has tribal markings, a little bit like...
 * Cole: Belthazor.
 * Phoebe: A little bit. Do you know who he is? Does he work for the Source?
 * Cole: He doesn't work for the Source, Phoebe—he is the Source.


 * Leo: The Source unleashed the Hollow.
 * Piper: Already on that train, honey. It took my powers. Anything else?


 * Paige: Oh, my God!
 * The Source: Not quite.
