This week on Spells and Spoilers, we're traveling back in time—sort of—as the Halliwells meet their ancestor, Melinda Warren, in Charmed Episode 9, "The Witch Is Back." When Prue accidentally releases an evil warlock from the 17th century, the sisters must team up with Melinda to stop him before he steals their powers and rewrites witch history.
Aleacia walks us through the magic, mayhem, and historical throwbacks, while Elizabeth dishes on family legacy, witchy wardrobe choices, and whether Melinda lived up to the hype. Can three modern witches outsmart an old-school villain? Did this episode give us real stakes—or just a history lesson?
Tune in for power-of-three bonding, ancestor admiration, and our usual mix of spicy takes and nostalgic love.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
