Charmed preview: Mel discovers that her girlfriend is in danger

The preview for next week’s episode of Charmed shows that Mel must protect her girlfriend, Niko, from an evil spirit. Can she save her in time?

The next episode of Charmed entitled “Other Women” will focus heavily on Mel and Niko’s relationship. Tensions will rise between the couple, as the preview shows Niko being attacked whilst investigating a case for her detective job. As Niko mentions the Charmed Ones’ mother, Marisol, in the preview, this attack may have something to do with their mom’s death. Whatever Niko knows, she has become a threat to the dark spirit that potentially killed Marisol and will find herself in the firing line during this episode.

Are we about to discover the demon responsible for killing the girl’s mother? In the preview, Niko reveals to Mel that she may know more about the incident than she lets on. Next week’s episode could be the one where the girls finally get justice and revenge against the demon that killed Marisol, with Niko’s help.

The powerful and passionate storyline set for the episode doesn’t just stop at the girls’ mother because Niko, in becoming close to the case and being in a relationship with Mel, is left in danger. Niko becomes the demon’s next target and Harry reveals that it won’t stop until his target is destroyed, which leaves Mel in a difficult and distressing situation.

Mel might have to sacrifice her love for Niko to keep her safe, as she describes in the preview her plan of performing a spell that will mean her and Niko never met. If it is the only way to keep the one she loves from being killed, Mel might have no other choice and must gather the strength to perform the magic, making Niko forget Mel even exists. If the Charmed Ones pull the enchantment off, this may create a dark hole in Mel’s life which may affect her powers and cause her to resent the magical world because of everything it had made her give up. This is something dark enemies could take advantage of when they attempt to unleash The Source of All Evil.

Alternatively, if Mel doesn’t have the courage to wipe Niko’s memory of her, will Niko discover that the sisters are actually witches?
