Charmed Life[]

Paige, more than any of the four Halliwell sisters (except perhaps Piper), found it hard to accept that she was a witch, let alone one of the most powerful witches of all time. She also found it hard to get used to having sisters after 24 years of believing she was an only child. At one point, she gave serious thought to moving to Australia to get away from the pressures of her Charmed life. Ultimately, she embraced her destiny with all of her energy.

Season 4[]

4x01-PowerOfThreeReborn

Paige recreates the Charmed Ones

Shortly after becoming a witch, Paige tried to use magic to help her co-workers. While she and Phoebe had hit it off almost immediately due to a shared rebellious streak, Piper was uncharacteristically dismissive of her. Instead, Piper took out her anger at losing Prue by hunting down every demon she could find. While Phoebe tried to calm Piper down, Paige borrowed the Book of Shadows. She used a spell in it to cure one of her colleagues of acne and tried several other minor spells, which worked okay. However, when she cursed a churlish in-house lawyer, Donnie, with unwanted attention from women, the spell backfired and made her breasts grow to an enormous size. Phoebe was able to reverse the effects in time.

Meanwhile, Piper's bottled-up anger at Prue's death had boiled over and turned her into a Fury.

Paige Source

The Source in Shane's body manipulates Paige

Paige realized that Piper felt Prue had abandoned her and Phoebe. She convinced Leo to orb them to the cemetery so Piper could tell Prue how she felt, allowing her to become human again. The next day, Piper brought muffins to Paige at her job, and finally accepted her as her sister.

Paige then started her witch training. She learned potion basics under Piper, but was initially more interested in fighting demons than learning her craft. When practicing a potion, she accidentally created a spell that swapped her soul with Phoebe's. Paige used this opportunity to change Cole's outlook of Phoebe. Although they tried to keep it a secret while they swapped souls back again, they had to confront the evil zen student Yen Lo trying to kill his former master. They traveled to Limbo and defeated Yen Lo after swapping souls back.

Having learned that magic and supernatural evil were real, Paige decided to investigate an old house that had always creeped her out. In doing so, she learned it was really the home of the demon Gammill and that her friend Finn was Gammill's golem creation. She tried to protect Finn, but Gammill killed his creation for helping Paige. The demon was a collector of ceramic figurines made of shrunken women. He shrank Phoebe and later got Piper and Paige too, but the three sisters were able to defeat and vanquish him, which returned them to their original size.

4x06-25-evil-enchantress

Paige's past life.

Paige then rekindled an on-again, off-again relationship with Glen Belland, who she has known her whole life. She told him a story she thought she remembered from her childhood about an Evil Enchantress who stole the love of a prince with magic. Meanwhile, a Shocker demon started hunting the Charmed Ones. When Paige looked the Evil Enchantress up in the Book of Shadows, she discovered an entry on her and the spell used to control the prince. When Paige recited the spell, the Prince was summoned, and as soon as he saw Paige, he mistook her for the Enchantress, due to their incredible resemblance. Phoebe and Piper therefore correctly assumed, that Paige was the woman reincarnation. The Evil Enchantress then went forward in time, following her prince. She attacked the Charmed Ones and took the prince back to her time, but was followed by Phoebe and Piper. Phoebe and Piper were captured because they lacked powers in the past. Paige was able to craft a spell to bring herself and Leo back to the Middle Ages. Leo freed Piper and Phoebe as Paige used the Enchantress's powers against her. The sisters then bind the Enchantress's powers and returned to their own time. Paige later moved into the Halliwell Manor.

Paige was helping a woman named Carolyn Seldon regain custody of her child after getting out of an abusive relationship. Paige used magic to help Carolyn. Paige got promoted for her work with Carolyn, but had to turn it down for fear of using her magic for personal gain. Paige, shortly after this, started practicing orbing herself over distances, a task she would master in a few months time.

Charmed405 535

Shrunk

Paige and Cole were initially amicable towards each other. However, not long after Cole was possessed by the Source, Paige saw him using a demonic power on Karen Young to find out the truth, an innocent the sisters were protecting after she'd been imbued with demonic powers by a power broker. Cole realized that Paige was on to him, and had the power broker imbue Paige with a demonic power so he could impregnate Phoebe with his demonic spawn without any distractions. Once alone with Paige in the manor, Cole plays mind games with Paige, nearly driving her insane if not for her sisters' intervention. At the last moment Cole gains enough control over the Source to save Paige by having other power brokers take the power out of her. While Paige is convinced that Cole has somehow become a demon again, Piper, Phoebe and Leo think her suspicions are the product of jealousy over being the only sister who's still single.

Vampire-paige

Vampire Paige.

Shortly afterward, a clan of vampires bite Paige and turn her into one of them in a fit of pique over Cole's refusal to let them be part of a new alliance of evil forces he's putting together. Additionally, the vampires thought that having even one Charmed One on their side would give them enough power to thrust Cole aside. The clan's queen then sends Paige after Piper and Phoebe in hopes of getting the entire Power of Three. Cole declares war on the vampires, and secretly hopes Paige dies as a result. He personally hunts down and kills the Queen, but does so before Paige can seal her conversion by drinking blood. Cole is initially unwilling to let Phoebe go after Paige, ostensibly out of concern for her safety. This makes Piper more willing to listen to Paige's suspicions about Cole, though even then she is only willing to believe Cole is working with demons again.

Paige is ultimately proven right when Phoebe gets a premonition of Cole's recent activities. However, she and Piper are unable to stop Cole from being crowned as the new Source with Phoebe by his side as the new Queen of the Underworld. With Piper kicking herself over not protecting Phoebe, Paige takes it upon herself to keep an eye on Greg Conroy, a probation officer Cole marked for death. While she and Piper are unable to keep Cole from killing Greg, Paige suggests that she, Piper and Leo storm Cole's penthouse, believing that there's still enough good in Phoebe that she won't stand by and watch them get killed. Paige is proven right; after finding out Cole killed Greg, Phoebe renounces her crown and joins her sisters in vanquishing Cole. During this time, Piper and Paige become very close, and Piper fully accepts Paige as her sister.

The unborn Source blamed Paige for foiling his father's plans. He was powerful enough to control Phoebe from the womb, and hurt her several times. When the unborn Source kidnapped Phoebe to the Underworld, Paige followed her, but was herself captured by the Seer. With the baby now inside her womb, The Seer was crowned as the new Source, and planned to sacrifice Phoebe and Paige as her first act. Phoebe and Paige summoned Piper, and they forced The Seer to tap into more and more of the baby's powers until she destroyed herself and every other demon in the room.

In the end of the season, when the Angel of Destiny offered the sisters a chance to give up their powers and the fight against demons, it was a two against one vote, when Paige was the only sister not willing to give up being a witch. In the end, her sisters decided to vote with her and kept their powers.

Season 5[]

Paige SuperWitch

During this season, Paige naturalizes somewhat to being a witch, quits her job at South Bay Social Services after finally getting promoted to a social worker and turns her attentions to full-time magic, determined to play catch-up with her more experienced sisters. During this season, she begins competing with Prue from beyond the grave, attempting to accomplish the things that she did, and become a "super-witch" or a "wicca wonder" like she was. At one point in time, Paige felt sympathy for Cole as he was getting delusional and couldn't tell if everyone was a demon.

Paige Sam

Paige finds out Sam is her biological father

The Elders decided to assign Paige her first charge, who was actually Sam Wilder, her biological father. Sam was again made a Whitelighter after sacrificing himself to save Prue, Piper, and Phoebe from the demon who killed Patty, but he had lost another charge and had stopped using his powers. The Elders were using Paige because Sam had fallen off their radar, and the only way to find him was through a blood relative. Paige did not know of Sam's connection to her when she meets him, until Phoebe tells her. When a Darklighter attacks Paige, nearly killing her, Sam must once again embrace his Whitelighter destiny to use his powers to save Paige, which he does. Though Paige resents Sam for abandoning her, she still loves him and hopes to see him again.

When Paige tried to vanquish Cole to give Phoebe peace, Paige wound up in the river, which gave her a cold. Whenever she sneezes, she orbs. When Cole managed to change reality, Paige was caught in the warp when she sneezed again, and was transported to the alternate reality. Paige was able to reunite her sisters to vanquish Cole, for good, and Paige was returned to her reality, and informed her sisters that Cole was gone forever.

When the Halliwell home started to suffer from hauntings, due to all the past evil killed there, Piper summoned a witch doctor to cleanse the home. Although the witch doctor did his job, he was worried about the power the sisters commanded and their susceptibility to all that evil. The council of witch doctors decided it was best for the world if they got rid of the sisters, so they cast a voodoo spell on them, hoping their obsessions would destroy them. Paige became obsessed with marrying her old boyfriend Glen, going so far as to kidnap his bride-to-be and impersonating her.

Along the way, returning to a job, Paige meets Richard Montana, a witch whose family was at war with another witch family, until Paige stepped in. They began a relationship, and Paige was happy to have someone she could practice magic in front of besides her sisters, although Richard had bad luck with magic, literally.

Eventually, the call got the better of her and she tried to answer, and ran into a demon. She then continuously attempted to avoid the constant cries for help by looking for signs to her new life, but it didn't work out and she accepted Billie as their apprentice.

Eventually, Billie reminded them the purpose of being the Charmed Ones and they decided to resurface the world as themselves via help from a federal agent named Agent Murphy. They went through a rough time when the media and reporters refused to leave them alone to find out what they were hiding.

Around this time, Neena, the "first" witch and progenitor of all witches, set a plan to merge the Upper Regions and the Underworld in order to stop divine beings from controlling the fates of witches. Paige was harmed in battle, and her soul floated to Spiritual Plane. Phoebe was able to contact Paige and Piper through a spell and they all planned an attack on Neena.

In this case, Prue gained all of her sisters' powers. She later returned them to Paige, Piper, and Phoebe. Together, they formed an army to vanquish Rennek and restore the balance.

The day Paige and her sisters prepared to confront their eldest sister, Henry came back to help. Paige, having been stabbed by the Ancient Athame, lost all of her memories and nearly her soul before Piper stabbed Prue with the same weapon that ultimately released the All and created a miracle: the revival of Paige and Patience as Prue's soul returning to the afterlife.

Her marriage was also saved since Henry was overcoming his feelings of fear and helplessness towards the dangers magic brings to their family.
