"All Hell Breaks Loose" is the third-season finale of Charmed, an American fantasy series that aired on The WB. It follows Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano), three sisters who discover they are witches and use their powers to protect innocents from demons. "All Hell Breaks Loose" was written by Brad Kern and directed by Doherty (pictured), and aired on May 17, 2001. It was the third episode of the series directed by Doherty. In the episode, Prue and Piper are caught using their powers on live television, which proves to have deadly consequences. During filming, Doherty used a Salvador Dalí painting as inspiration for the episode's aesthetic, and helped her co-stars shoot emotionally challenging scenes. A week prior to the episode's airing, Doherty was fired from the series due to a feud with Milano, which resulted in her character being killed off. "All Hell Breaks Loose" has been cited as one of the show's best episodes, with critics highlighting Prue's death.
