BILLIE FINDS HER MISSING SISTER - Paige (Rose McGowan) begins to realize the difficulty in dating a mortal when Henry (Ivan Sergei) tries to immerse himself in her magical world. She finds herself even more conflicted when a suitor, Sir Simon Marks (guest star Warren Derosa), arrives hoping to convince her to marry him so they can become the ultimate magical couple. Piper (Holly Marie Combs) also faces a romantic decision when she runs into her old flame, Greg (Jason Shaw), and begins to wonder if she is ready to put Leo's (Brian Krause) death behind her. Meanwhile, after Billie (Kaley Cuoco) finds her missing sister, Christy (Marnette Patterson), who has been held captive by demons for several years, she and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) try to help her cope.

Charmed was on the air this past weekend with an all-new episode called "The Last Temptation of Christy. According to Zap2it.com the Fast National Rating for the original telecast of Sunday, February 19, 2006 was 2.4/4 which is a slight improvement over the previous episode, 12 Angry Zen, which had a 2.1/3. No overnight ratings are available at the moment, I will deliver them when and if they become available. Final Numbers will be posted tomorrow.

I missed that one too. I have that episode on my DVR. I'll watch it when I get home too.

The final numbers are out and they are quite good. Charmed's The Last Tempatation of Christy improved on the previous episode's performance. 3,890,000 viewers tuned in this past Sunday to watch Charmed. This is an increase of 610,000 viewers or 18.6% (3.89 vs. 3.28). The addtional episode at 9/8c kept 58.35% of its lead-in and averaged a good 2,270,000 for the hour. Hopefully this increase will happen once again next week.
