[edit] Synopsis
The Elders' suspicion of Leo causes them to assign a new Whitelighter to the girls. However, when the new Whitelighter is nearly killed by beasts, the Elders blame the attack on Leo.

Meanwhile, Agent Brody learns Paige's secret and informs her of a powerful new threat, and Phoebe and Leslie discuss their feelings before saying goodbye.

- Avatars: Avatars first appeared in the Season five episode Sam I Am and returned in Centennial Charmed (The one hundredth Episode). They wanted Cole Turner to become an Avatar, but it was too late when Cole was vanquished. They recently became major recurring characters. After they achieved their goal of getting the Charmed Ones and Leo to help get the world to become a "Utopia" where they dictate everything that happens, they were soon forced to give up this world when the Charmed Ones (the greatest force of good) and Zankou (the leader of the demons) realized their plan and threatened them with death. They are indirectly to blame for the deaths of Cole Turner and Kyle Brody.

[edit] Trivia
- This episode title is a reference to a Blue Moon, as well as the phrase "once in a blue moon".
- It is revealed that every fifty years when a year has a second blue moon, the Charmed Ones become beasts. In reality this happens on average every twenty-five years (it most recently happened in 1961 and 1999, and will happen again next in 2018).
- This is the last episode to show actor Nick Lachey as Leslie St. Claire. Though he will reappear on flashbacks in the season eighth episode Generation Hex, where Coop takes Phoebe to see her past loves.
- Instead of using makeup effects, they used computer generated effects for the beasts, which costs less money.
- Piper previously transformed into a beast under the full moon in the episode The Wendigo.
