Ep 17. Pre-Witched

The Charmed Ones are back and this time they face an unexpected challenge. This episode, titled "Pre-Witched", starts with the sisters preparing for the impending arrival of their father, Victor. Victor has been absent from their lives for a long time and they are all looking forward to reconnecting with him. However, things take an unexpected turn when they receive a letter from their mother, Patty, who died many years ago.

The letter reveals that their mother was pregnant with a fourth child before she died, and that the child was prophesized to be even more powerful than the Charmed Ones. According to the letter, the child would be born on the same day as the sisters' birthday and would need their protection. The sisters are shocked by this revelation and are determined to find the child and keep him or her safe.

As they begin their search, they discover that a powerful demon named Abraxas is also after the child, as he believes that the child's powers could be used to release an ancient and powerful evil. The sisters realize that they need to act quickly to protect the child and defeat Abraxas.

To make things even more complicated, the sisters unknowingly cast a spell that causes them to switch bodies with each other. Each sister must now navigate the world in a different body while working together to protect the unborn child.

"Pre-Witched" brings back the themes of family, sacrifice, and the importance of working together. As the sisters face this new challenge, they must put aside their individual differences and come together to protect the greater good. Along the way, they also discover new things about themselves and each other.
