    Going back in time dealing with intimacy and evil! Plus Alyssa has a sexy scene!

    This episode of "Charmed" from season 2 number 14 called "Pardon My Past" which first aired on Feb 17, 2000 is one early good and very interesting and sexy entertaining ones. The theme is the past and how love and evil can haunt one, in the present evening and time as the girls house is in a party mood while Phoebe(the beautiful and sexy Alyssa Milano) is studying for a college psychology exam only after everyone leaves she gets a chill and shake from the past like an intimate force touches her(also I must say at the start of the episode when Phoebe comes downstairs we the viewers are treated to a very sexy scene as one can see Milano sporting that sexy silk dark purple colored bra!) Leo and the girls give advice only spells and magic as always come into play as Phoebe goes back in time to fight evil and break from her evil ways and break away from being a witch and dropping old boyfriend Anton. Plus even look for an old lady still living with connections to the past as she has a damsel in distress scene in the hospital being tied up and gagged. Overall super wonderful great episode that's entertaining, exciting, and sexy with the Milano purple bra scene!

    The Dark Past of Phoebe

    Phoebe is attacked by some invisible force, and Leo advises that it might be some signal from her past life. Phoebe casts a spell to live her former life, and she discloses that she was evil. Her boyfriend Anton was a warlock that wanted to kill her cousins and good witches Prue and Piper to steal their powers. Phoebe finds also that she used an amulet to protect herself against her cousins.

    "Pardon My Past" is a silly episode of "Charmed", with a weak explanation for the attack to Phoebe. Further, how Leo could be Piper's lover if he died in World War I? My vote is five.

    Title (Brazil): "Desculpe-me Pelo Meu Passado" ("Sorry for My Past")

    Darkness in the foreground

    So to me ( even though I have yet to see season 3 ) was a precursor for the Cole/Phoebe storyline. It was so intriguing to see how her dark side was, and when she and Anton joined hands and sat there looking at the sisters I got a sense of other old school villain teams. I also enjoyed how we went to the 1920's and saw the clothes and heard the music. So far the season has picked up from it's stagnant beginning, with Prue quitting Buckland's and the club picking up business. Phoebe has really gone through some transformations this season. I gotta say the sisters powers in their past life were very awesome. Prue breathing ice, Phoebe casting fire, it was all so very entertaining to watch.

    • Trivia
      This is the first time Brian Krause appears in the opening theme credits.
    • Goofs
      When Phoebe pulls out the family tree and finds P. Russell, the dates are July 2, 1894- Feb. 17, 1924. She then states that the dates match up, as well as the age. This would make Phoebe 30 years old, which we know she is not. When she first finds her name, the date of birth is November 2, 1975. This makes Phoebe 24 at the time of the episode.
