[edit] Plot Overview

After the murder of her classmate, Phoebe and her sisters are forced to face innocents that have died in the line of duty under their watch over the last seven years, thanks to Zankou and a demonic alchemist, who resurrect them from the dead. This is ultimately a ruse to break down the Halliwells emotionally so that Zankou can steal the Book of Shadows.

• The episode had a good concept and it wasn't so much as its execution that crippled its quality; it was the fact that the assembled zombies were random innocents that were killed off-screen. There were several innocents that could have worked better and had a greater emotional impact on the Charmed Ones such as Dr. Williamson and his death in Season Two's "Astral Monkey." Inspector Davidson, while an innocent from the past, did not elicit as much of an impact on the Halliwells and this episode was making him appear as the victim who lost the most compared to the others and I frankly don't buy it for a second.
