The show is getting better at intertwining a one-off episode storyline with the characters' ongoing personal dilemmas. The pixie seems to embody the more irritating parts of the previous series, but sadly the resolution embodies the more irritating parts of this one. The show doesn't quite seem to know what it's saying. White males are both the victims and the villains, and the ending of the Charmed Ones sneering at the idea of white males being oppressed on a show that has its one token white male good guy and otherwise only uses them as demons, villains or cannon fodder feels a bit uncomfortable.
In the midst of all this, we have Macy and Galvin making an effective team (and she may even lose her v-card, although we're spared the details) and Maggie wondering whether to take a chance on Parker. Which leaves Mel and Jada to continue to fail to be interesting or show any real chemistry. Mel's involvement with the Sarcana continues to intrigue, and her sisters' horror at her hexing a human shows this isn't meant to be as black and white as she thinks it is, but does she really need to be shagging their spokesperson? (The scene where her sisters find this out is great though.) Giving them the cliffhanger is a misfire that just leaves the audience going "Huh?"
