    There is good and bad love

    Once again fans are given a treat where the sisters are granted each other's powers and learn how to use them. Leo is the center of attention as he tries to be a guardian Angel to a woman plagued by evil. Even answering a few questions left unanswered. The comedy boys are ever present as the sisters have mishaps using their new found ability. The sweet moments are spent between Leo and Piper as they express suppressed feelings and each an understanding.

    Lisa Kelly gave a great performance and left a lasting impression. Her portrayal was so vulnerable that I wanted to take her in my arms and comfort her myself. Michael Trucco seemed born to play the aggressor and if I didn't know he was an actor I'd believe he was out of his mind.

    The finale actually feels like the whole episode came full circle and well rounded. The music, costumes and scenery provided a great hour of television.

    Swapping Powers

    While protecting the human and future white lighter Daisy, Leo is wounded by a poisoned arrow shot by the dark lighter Alec, who wants to seduce Daisy to procreate evil. Leo asks the Halliwell sisters to protect Daisy, and Piper casts a spell to swap the healing powers of Leo with hers, but accidentally Prue and Phoebe also switches their powers. The sisters have difficulties to handle their new acquired abilities, and Piper is unable to trigger the healing power. Meanwhile, Andy is having troubles with the Internal Affairs protecting Prue, and he is temporarily suspended from his duties.

    "Love Hurts" is an excellent episode of "Charmed", presenting action, romance and comedy in adequate doses. Phoebe, as usual, has some of the best lines, such as when she says that problems are for Mondays mornings; or when she questions Prue and tells that she is not the yellow pages of innocents. When Prue says to Andy "Welcome to my world" is also great. In the end, the lesson that the pleasant power of love heals, while the painful power of hate kills. My vote is nine.

    Title (Brazil): "O Amor Dói" ("Love Hurts")

    • Goofs
      Leo tells the sisters not to touch the darklighters arrow because the poison will kill them, however, in future Paige is the only sister who can not touch the arrow because it is only poisonous to whitelighters and Paige is half whitelighter.

      Piper Halliwell: [as Daisy is about to leave] If you leave, Alec *will* find you, and Leo's death will mean nothing. You're not going *anywhere*!
