I get a degree in social work, I help others, I even get into Berkley thanks to high test scores and a powerful essay on the death of my... oh, let's just say a powerful essay. Uh... mum and dad, you've got to believe me.

A Second Chance

Paige has an unresolved trauma since she blames herself for the death of her parents in a car wreck. Leo summons the spirit of time Clyde and goes back to the past guiding Paige in the 90's to revisit the tragic day of the accident and resolve her guilty complex. Meanwhile, the spirits of a couple of criminals possess the bodies of Phoebe and Cole to finish an assignment of fifty years ago.

"A Paige from the Past" is a delightful episode of Charmed. The story is beautiful and well-resolved, with the participation of all the lead characters. Rose McGowan really looks like a teenager, with brace and old-fashioned clothes and hair-style. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "O Passado de Paige" ("The Past of Paige")
