    fantastic

    Despite some logical issues, this is such a strong episode wonderfully directed by Shannon. Hope she's still proud of it cause a lot still holds up.

    Charmed: All Hell Breaks Losse

    Y am from Serbia, so sorry for my English! There was a second part of "All Hell Breaks Loose"!

    In this episode, Source destroyed Phoebe, Shax killed Piper, and Prue... Well, Source took her soul, and burned her alive in agony!

    Cole attackes Tempus (because Phoebe died), and he reset time. They killed Shax, but Dr. Griffit die. Now, they come down in Hell, and stood in front the Source. Thats a final battle.

    But I must tell something: Does anyone know about Prue felt cold always before Shax attackes? Thats Cole warn (remember when Phoebe ask him to warn them?). But in the first, air part, at the beginning, Prue felt cold, isn't? So that means that Phoebe ask Cole before, so that isn't the first time at all.

    That all explained in the 2nd part!

    Thats why in original episode at the end writtes: TO BE CONTINUED...

    Almost flawless

    This is easily one of the strongest episodes of the entire series. There might be some logic flaws in a couple of scenes but the overall story, directing and acting are all top notch.

    Much Aware

    I'm sure Shannon knew weeks before she wrote the storyline for episode 22 that she would be fired because of Milano .

    Trusting on Cole Again

    Prue and Piper bring Dr. Griffiths to their home to save him from the Sauce's assassin Shax. While Phoebe looks in the Book of Shadow how to vanquish the demon, Prue and Piper fight and chase Shax on the streets to destroy him. However, they are filmed and exposed live in the television news as witches. They become national sensation with a crowd in front of their house. Phoebe trusts on Cole and goes to the underworld with Leo to ask him to summon Tempus and revert time while a fanatic woman shots Piper, who dies. The source proposes Phoebe to stay with him and in return he would save her sister. Phoebe accepts the deal, and the time is reverted to the moment Shax is attacking Prue, Piper and Dr. Griffits.

    "All Hell Breaks Loose" is a good but incoherent episode. With Piper dead and The Power of Three destroyed, why should The Source revert time to save her? But this dramatic show is certainly one of the best of the Third Season and let the viewers anxiously waiting for the next episode. My vote is nine.

    Title (Brazil): "Voltando no Tempo" ("Back in Time")
