Piper Halliwell (Holly Marie Combs) is one of the main characters and protagonists of the original Charmed series (1998-2006). She is the one of the Charmed Ones alongside sisters Prue and Phoebe Halliwell, and later half-sister Paige Matthews following Prue's death at the end of Season Three. In episode 1.12, "The Wendigo" (airdate February 3, 1999), Piper appeared as a villainess in a brief dream sequence.
About[]
The episode began with Piper being pursued by a creature known as a wendigo, which emerges every full moon, with the pursuit ending with Piper entering a phone booth and being attacked by the beast. The attack left Piper on the verge of becoming a wendigo during the next full moon, and throughout the episode, she felt the effects of the attack--one of them being becoming overheated and in desperate need of colder atmospheres.
Alternate Reality Heel Turn []
Later in the episode, Piper has a nightmare which has her being visited by Andy Trudeau (a longtime friend of the sisters), who was checking on Piper's progress following the attack, with Piper stating to Andy that she felt great. While Piper's left arm is actually bandaged due to the wendigo's attack, the sequence has Piper's arm fully healed and unwrapped, after which Andy noticed Piper's healed arm and asked her how it happened so quickly.
In response to Andy, Piper turned heel by transforming into a wendigo after giving an ominous glance at Andy. After turning heel, the evil Piper snarled at Andy before clutching him in an attempt to attack him. The villainess gave a loud growl at her intended victim, only for Piper to wake up from her nightmarish heel turn and check on her still-bandaged left arm.
