**Witch Way Out** is the seventh episode of the third season of *Charmed* and the forty-eighth episode of the series overall. It aired on March 21, 2021.

## Synopsis

REMEMBER THE TIME – The Charmed Ones (Melonie Diaz, Madeleine Mantock and Sarah Jeffery) take on the Tomb of Chaos while navigating ever greater challenges in their professional lives. Also starring Rupert Evans and Jordan Donica.

## Plot

This episode starts with all three girls waking up separately in their house but knowing something is not right. Macy and Mel find each other and then go to find Maggie, but she does not know who they are. They realize Maggie has been there longer than them, and the house had made her lose her memory. There is a light and loud noise that Maggie calls the “tik boom.” Maggie’s memory is jogged when she sees a lunchbox with Macy's name on it even though it is misspelled. A memory of Maggie giving the lunch to Mel plays out so all the girls can see it. They realize there are glitches in the house, and if they find the glitches, they can get memories of what happened back so they can figure out what is going on.

They see more of the memory and remember that they were trying to figure out a way into the demon dimension called the “Tomb of Chaos.” They think they might have gotten in and are there now. They can see enough of a memory to see the spell that got them there and think they can say it and get out.

A portal opens up, and they go through and think they are out of the demon dimension. Mel sees a picture of her, Maggie, Macy, and her mom and realizes it is a glitch and is still in the demon dimension. Maggie remembers a quote from a tape she was listening to “the fog is an illusion. Walk through it, and everything becomes clear”. She realizes they all have to concentrate on seeing the actual demon dimension instead of the illusion. They can do this and see the dimension and see away to get out, but the Chupa Alma is in front of it.

Maggie thinks it is all a glitch since they already killed it. They run through it and wind up back in the real world. Maggie realizes the tik boom were demons escaping, and many demons must have escaped since she heard it so many times. In the end, Jordan comes into the house and says there is a huge monster outside.

## Quotes

**Macy:**: It's the perfect prison. The inmates don't try to get out because they don't even realize they're trapped. It's like our memories were used to build this place, somehow.

**Maggie:** Classic horror movie role. I like it.
