There is a myth among some Charmed fans that just refuses to die. That All Hell Breaks Loose has a second part that, for reasons, was never shown again. It's amazing that some still believe this episode exists, despite evidence to the contrary.
To refresh your memories, All Hell Breaks Loose was the first time that Charmed ended a season in a cliff hanger. At the end of that episode, both Prue and Piper had been blasted through the wall by Shax, and fans were supposed to wonder if one of them would die.
However, by then, due to real life events, fans pretty much knew. That was the year that Shannen was fired off the show by Kernus (who waited until she was here in Canada, shooting a TV movie, and then telling her over the phone, like the gutless coward he was). The story had already broken by the time AHBL aired.
However, this firing happened after AHBL was in the can. As I said, Shannen was here in Canada when she got the news. Charmed was in its summer hiatus.
Of course, this meant that the opening of Season Four, which originally would have picked up right where AHBL left off, had to be quickly rewritten. Aside from Prue and Piper being injured, AHBL ended with Phoebe, Leo, and Cole still trapped in the Underworld. However, Charmed Again, which opened Season Four, started with everyone back at the Manor, mourning Prue, and the whole escape from the Underworld was just hand waved away (Whew, that was a close one, too bad about Prue). Also, the Phoebe, Queen Of The Underworld story, which was originally planned to open S4, had to be pushed back, because they now needed to bring Paige in and set up her character.
This disjointed connection between AHBL and Charmed Again led to the rise of the mythical AHBL Part Two. In this supposedly lost episode, Leo gets back to the Manor, and tries, but fails, to save Prue. He them says that he can't heal the dead.
Despite the fact that no such episodes exists, many Charmed fans do believe it. Some have even claimed to have seen it (during my short lived association with the Charmed Cafe, I got into a couple of arguments with such fans over this). These fans say that this episode aired only once, but then was suppressed for some reason by someone (Shannen, Kernus, the Illuminati, take your pick). Of course, this is complete rubbish, they could not have seen AHBL Part Two because there is no AHBL Part Two!
I think what those fans saw were fan made videos that have cropped up on YouTube over the years. However, how one can mistake a fan made video for an actual episode baffles me. Don't these people notice that, in these videos, the sisters are suddenly wearing different clothes or have different hair styles (since such videos are footage of different episodes spliced together).
So, despite the facts, it looks like some will continue to believe in this mythical AHBL Part Two. Some people just believe what they want to believe.
