First recap of "Charmed": "This is not a witch hunt, it's a judgment"

"It's not a witch hunt, it's a calculation," said Marisol Vera (Valerie Cruz) in the opening minutes of the CW's big talk. Charm restart, which is created with a very #MeToo news episode.

Marisol is on the phone talking to a teacher who has protested his suspension of sexual harassment. When her daughter, Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery), hear her arguing, they pause about Mel's boots and Maggie's desire to join a sorority to see if their mother is fine. Marisol sits down and gives a sincere speech reminding them that they are "better together" and that "nothing is stronger than their fraternity". Maggie's glancing look suggests it's a monologue they've heard before.

The sisters make promises without conviction to meet again before leaving, Mel to see his girlfriend and Maggie at a sorority party. At home, Marisol feels that something is wrong and a few seconds later, a raven bursts through its open window (this is never a good sign). After sending an urgent message to Mel and Maggie to return home, Marisol rushes into the attic and begins to perform a spell. She also warns the crows and a monster of smoke that is approaching "at three." Unfortunately, by the time Mel and Maggie return home, delayed by Maggie's reluctance to leave the sorority, their mother is dead, apparently fallen through the attic window.

Three months later, the sisters do not listen exactly to their mother's words. Mel, a student at Hilltowne University's Women's Studies Department, is angered and continues her mother's fight with Professor Thaine, who has been reinstated in school after her suspension. In fact, she hangs up Time's Up posters when she is approached by replacing her mother at the Department of Women's Studies, a white chisel man who claims to have been retweeted by Roxane Gay, among other congratulations. He tries to break the ice by complimenting it in a recent article, stating, "It really gave me the impression that my penis had been torn from my body." To which Mel replies, "Oh, that's good, you read it right. "For the reasons she does not like it, she continues to announce the next rally.

Immediately after her interaction with the professor of women's studies, Mel ran into Cameron, a staunch supporter of Professor Thaine, hitting him in the face after insulting his mother and Thaine's accuser. The news that Mel hits an undergraduate student immediately causes tension between her and Maggie. The sisters have very different approaches to mourning their mothers. Although Mel is convinced that Marisol's death was flawed, and that Professor Thaine is there for something, Maggie tries to maintain a semblance of normalcy in her life, which includes precipitating Kappa Tau Kappa sorority at night. his mother is dead.

Meanwhile, Marisol's long-missing daughter, Macy Vaughn (Madeleine Mantock), arrives in Hilltowne to work as a molecular geneticist in the University's laboratory, under the tutelage of Professor Thaine. She stumbles upon Vera's house while walking with her new colleague Galvin (Ser'Darius Blain), who informs her of the tragedy that took place there. Discovering that her mother, who she thought was long dead, had died three months earlier, Macy went home to look for her new sisters, interrupting their fight.

Naturally, the meetings go very badly, because Mel and Maggie do not know that they have another sister. However, when the initial discomfort fades, the three begin to experience their powers for the first time. Macy exposes her new telekinesis skills by discussing her disastrous meeting at a bar with Galvin. Maggie discovers that she knows how to read minds – a change from the original CharmThe premonition – at a sorority event, and Mel discovers that she can freeze time during a coffee with her former girlfriend Niko (Ellen Tamaki), a Hilltowne detective who broke her up after her mother's death .

The sisters are then kidnapped (in their attic) by the new professor of women's studies (Rupert Evans), who, to their surprise, teaches them that they are the Charmed Ones, "the most powerful of the three wizards". to be none other than Harry, their Whitelighter – who really looks more like Giles from Buffy against the vampires as Leo Wyatt. He explains that their mother was a powerful witch who linked each of her daughter's forces when they were born, but was releasing the bond when she was murdered. Yes, Mel was right, there was irregular play. However, Harry does not know who killed her, noting that their only track is the ice found on the scene, which means that it is a cold demon.
