Kodzoman entry

Kodzoman[]

One would be
wise to feel only
positive
emotions around
this demon.
Kodzoman blows
a mystical smoke
that gathers
one's negative
energy into a
cloud that is then
inhaled by the demon.
Feeding on this negative energy
Kodzoman eventually reaches a point
near unstoppable proportions.

Phoenix[]

Phoenix
Descended from the Witch Trials with
vengeance in their hearts, the Phoenix are a
family of assassin witches who are very elite,
very powerful and who are born with the
distinctive birthmark of the Phoenix,
symbolizing their rise from Salem's ashes.
They have no allegiances other than to their
own vengeance and they will seek out and kill
any bounty they're hired to hunt down.

To Go Back in Time[]

ToGoBackInTimeEntry
Hear these words
Hear the rhyme
Heed the hope within my mind
Send me back to where I'll find
What I wish in place and time.

Spells[]

Inhibition Spell[]

Bianca casts an unseen spell from her family's Grimoire to lower their inhibitions and distract them, so she could take Chris back to the future.

To Retrieve the Book of Shadows[]

Chris casts this spell in the Halliwell Memorial Museum to call the real Book of Shadows back to the attic. It was kept by Evil Wyatt somewhere outside of the Manor.

I call upon the Ancient Power
To help us in this darkest hour.
Let the Book return to this place,
Claim refuge in its rightful space.

To Go Back to the Future[]

Bianca casts a non-verbal spell to go back to the future with Chris. The spell required a triquetra drawn on a wall, similar to the To Go Back in Time spell.

To Restore a Witch's Powers[]

Paige created a spell to be sent to the future, where Chris had to fight Wyatt without his powers. She, her sisters and Leo put it under a floorboard in the attic. Chris got it and cast it, which successfully returned his powers.

Powers of the witches rise,
Come to me from across the skies.
Return my magic, give me back
All that was taken from the attack.

Notes and Trivia[]

Charmed Promo season 6 ep

The WB episode promo

  • The title is a play on the term crisscrossed.
  • This is one of the few episodes that doesn't play a song after the opening theme.
  • This is the highest-rated 'non-season premiere' episode of Charmed.
  • Wes Ramsey makes his first appearance as adult Wyatt.
  • This is the first of two episodes where both adult Wyatt and adult Chris are seen with each other. The next one will be in "Forever Charmed".
  • In this episode, the real reason Chris returned from the future is revealed. It is to protect Wyatt from turning evil.
  • At the Halliwell museum, some of the costumes from earlier episodes are displayed; the super-heroine costumes from "Witches in Tights", the mermaid costume from "A Witch's Tale, Parts 1 & 2", the oufit worn by Isis in "Y Tu Mummy Tambien", the Nymph outfit from "Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun", the Little Red Riding Hood robe from "Happily Ever After", the clothing of The Evil Enchantress from "A Knight to Remember" and Prue's blue outfit from Which Prue Is It, Anyway?.
  • A hologram of Shax bursting into the Manor after Paige joined her sisters is from "Charmed Again, Part 1", and is shown during the tour of the manor to scare the visitors.
  • This is Phoebe's third time moving out of the manor. The first time is after Grams' death and the second time is in Season 4 where she moves in with Cole.
  • This is the first time Paige moves out of the manor. She moves in with Richard.
  • At the beginning of the episode, Phoebe utters a phrase in Chinese. Piper is impressed and Phoebe reveals she learned it using Berlitz. In "Dead Man Dating", Piper speaks to Mark Chao's mother in Chinese using cues from Mark. Her excuse was that she learned the language from Berlitz.
  • At the start of the episode, when Chris passes the girls, he tells them that he's going to find the next demon but quickly says "demonstration". Piper did the same thing in "Lucky Charmed".
  • Phoebe does not use her Premonition or Levitation powers and Paige does not use her Telekinetic Orbing power.
  • Phoebe mentions all the times the Piper froze Leo in "Wicca Envy".
  • Around the 34-minute mark, Paige says "you've come a long way, baby" to Leo. This phrase was popularized in the '60s as the slogan of Virginia Slims, a cigarette company that attempted to tap into the Women's Liberation movement and second-wave feminism to encourage the "liberated woman" to buy their product.
  • This episode scored 6.0 million viewers.

Continuity Errors[]

  • Bianca wounds Chris in the stomach, but in the next scene the wound is on his chest.
  • In the scene where Piper freezes Greg on top of the fire truck his arm moves when it gets caught in the blanket she has wrapped around herself.
  • The page Bianca ripped out from her mother's Grimoire was already loose at the front of the book.
  • When Chris and Bianca are talking in the basement when the camera focuses on Chris, Bianca's hair on the right side of her head is put behind her ear, though when it focuses on her, it is not.
  • The "empath" line Phoebe placed in the basement in "Forget Me...Not", is still there 25 years in the future.
  • Phoebe can sense Chris's heartbreak, even though he took a potion to block him from her empathy power in "Love's a Witch".
    • One can argue that Chris was weakened to the point where Phoebe could feel his emotions.
