Ex Libris

Everything come full circle there. Piper's love triangle, Leo's loose ends, Phoebe's finals and Prue's « innocent » thirst for justice. The remaining of the season (with the exception of Astral Monkey, which brought back Dr. Curtis) isn't worth lingering over much, but the episodes are still decently entertaining and worth watching once at least. « Ex-Libris » isn't without its flaws, it shows signs of weakness, each time it gets sillier than it should've been (near the end especially) but it's a good one regardless, with an excellent premise and musical guest. Some band named The Goo Goo Dolls...

While studying for the finals in the library, Phoebe meets Charlene, who is researching about demons for her thesis. When Charlene opens an encyclopedia about demons, she is decapitated by Libris. Later the ghost of Charlene contacts Phoebe and the Halliwell sisters decide to help her to vanquish Libris and move on. Meanwhile, Prue sees a man, Cleavant Wilson, every day on the bench of the bus stop trying to find a witness to testify against the killer of his beloved daughter Tyra and she decides to help him to move on in his life. Dan discloses that Leo was married, making Piper upset.

"Ex Libris" deals with moving on in life and death, and relationships between fathers and daughters. In the ghost story, Charlene wishes to prove her father how capable she is; Cleavant Wilson wants to show her daughter how much he loved her; and Piper expects that Phoebe and Prue sign a card for their father. In the end, most of the situations are resolved except the wounds between Prue and her father. The jealousy of Piper regarding Leo marriage in his previous life is silly and non-sense. My vote is seven.
