On this episode of Spells and Spoilers, things get personal—and a little emo—as we unpack Charmed Episode 7, "The Fourth Sister." When a lonely teenager named Aviva tries to join the Halliwell circle, the sisters face a dangerous mix of teen angst and demonic manipulation. Spoiler: not every goth girl with a candle is just looking for friendship.
Aleacia walks us through the episode beat by beat, while Elizabeth weighs in on family dynamics, misguided mentorship, and just how easily people were trusting strangers in the '90s. Should the sisters have welcomed Aviva sooner? Did we spot the red flags fast enough? And what exactly is Kali’s plan here?
Tune in for a discussion full of heart, hexes, and Halliwell sisterhood—with our usual dose of nostalgia and sharp commentary.
