Saving Private Leo

Piper accepts the invitation to the 60th Anniversary of Guadalcanal Reunion on behalf of Leo upsetting him. The ghosts of Rick and Nathan Lang, who fought with Leo in Guadalcanal and blame him for their deaths, find where Leo lives and seek revenge against him, hurting those that he loves. Meanwhile, the evil Cole uses malice in tricks to seduce Phoebe to move from the manor to a luxury apartment of his company.

"Saving Private Leo" is a good episode of Charmed, based on the past life of Leo in World War II and the desire of Cole to break the Power of Three and stay with Phoebe to conceive his son. The story has good moments and a rip-off of "Basic Instinct", with the luscious Deborah Kellner crossing her beautiful legs for Cole. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Resgate do Soldado Leo" ("The Rescue of Soldier Leo")

It's a fun episode but don't think about it too much or the melodrama will be overwhelming. The timing issue and how old Leo was when he died and all that, it was intended to pull on the heartstrings and I guess it does but it is also super cheesy in both plot and dialogue - "You dissed me, Teach", "He's kin to Leo Wyatt", "He's my hero"...oy.

But also, Phoebe is so obnoxious in this episode. Why can't she write her column in her bedroom if she wants quiet, or hell, why not go into the office? She's got a door that can close there. Besides, the other journalists can write their columns in all that noise.
