WARNING: The following contains major spoilers for Charmed Season 3, Episode 1, "An Inconvenient Truth," which aired Sunday on The CW.
Abigael Jameson-Caine has never been one for trusting people -- with the exception of Harry whom she loves -- which leads her to a lot of ill-fated manipulation. Throughout Season 2 of Charmed, Abigael made deals with both The Charmed Ones and Godric to maintain her role as the Demon Overlord hell-bent on ending the war between demons. However, subtly manipulating the sisters and her brother Parker ended with her being ousted from the throne. Now, in Charmed Season 3, Episode 1, Abigael finds a new ally, and he could help her return to the top.
After word got out that she helped The Charmed Ones find their whitelighter, Abigael is living in exile. Suddenly, though, suddenly Jordan visits, asking for her help. The half-demon/half-witch is surprised by Jordan's appearance but nonetheless curious. Jordan looks around her apartment, which is littered with emptied liquor bottles and pizza boxes, and voices concern over her drinking, saying, "Wow, a little thirsty?" Abby scoffs at a remark from "a little mortal" and says that she was busy "trying to defeat the demon patriarchy" but now no one cares enough to kill her after associating with The Charmed Ones. "I'm such a loser, I don't even have enemies," she says. "Well done, Charmed Ones."
Jordan then tells her, "Sad you don't have any enemies? Have some of mine."
Abigael is intrigued by his anger and asks what he wants of her. He admits that he's tasked with "saving a descendant" of the Tulipe witch family before a magical hourglass runs out, and asks if he could look into her magical book that keeps track of witches in trouble.
She finds the name of Eleanor Anderson, a descendant of Tulipe, imprisoned by an ogre. Jordan says he'd be "forever grateful" to Abigael if she helps him locate Eleanor, which she mischievously smiles at, saying, "I suppose you would," hinting that she's already thought of a scheme to benefit herself. Throughout their search for the missing witch, the two sarcastically banter at each other, and Jordan insightfully comments that if she was "some unfeeling monster, [she] wouldn't spend day and night drinking her pain away."
After locating the witch trapped in a magical painting, the two use a spell-infused paintbrush to free Eleanor. A magical hourglass counting down to Jordan's doom stops, and he learns of the "ask" that Abby has of him. She wants his help in contacting her sister -- a character we've yet to see on the show -- and Jordan agrees.
While it's unknown how her sister will play into Charmed's newest season, if she's anything like her brothers -- Hunter and Parker -- she'll undoubtedly be bringing in more magic to the equation. Assuming that her sister is equally half-demon/half-witch, the question remains, How will she wield her powers? And what side, exactly, is Abigael's sister on?
Charmed stars Sarah Jeffery, Madeleine Mantock, Melonie Diaz, Rupert Evans, Valerie Cruz, Ser’Darius Blain and Ellen Tamaki. New episodes of Charmed airs on The CW on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
