Imaginary Fiends

Synopsis
Unbeknownst to the Charmed Ones, baby Wyatt's new "imaginary" friend is actually the demon Vicus, who is trying to win Wyatt's trust to turn him evil. Piper casts a spell to be able to understand baby Wyatt, but inadvertently brings 25-year-old Wyatt back from the future. When Vicus places a curse on baby Wyatt, the effects are seen immediately in future Wyatt, who physically transforms into a darker version of his previous self. Evil and powerful, future Wyatt kidnaps baby Wyatt so that the sisters can not convert him back to good. Later, whilst trying to steal the Book of Shadows, Leo successfully brings Wyatt back to the side of good. Before future Wyatt leaves, he gives Phoebe, Paige, Piper and Leo insight into the future.

Trivia

* The title of the episode is a play on imaginary friends.
* Wyatt tells his family that he takes on Whitelighter duties in the future, complete with charges of his own.
* Paige begins to learn the Maori language, which ties in to Whitelighters being able to speak their charges' tongues, as learned in Siren's Song.
* Wyatt tells Phoebe to keep the paper she wrote on imaginary friends for his little cousin, which again confirms that Phoebe is destined to have children.
* Wyatt doesn't know what Piper was talking about when she mentioned changing the future, so he doesn't know about Chris's time traveling, which he should, as future Chris has become very much in the Charmed Ones' present lives.
* The jingling Paige hears is a much different sound to the jingling that Leo had heard when the Elders were calling him.
* Wyatt tells Paige that she teaches him to be a Whitelighter.
* Piper becomes an optimist in the future, unlike her present self.
* Wyatt has become very powerful in the future and is a force to be reckoned with. His voice becomes deep and echoing when angered, and he's able to vanquish three demons by throwing up his hands, creating an energy wave, completely incinerating them, similar to Prue's future power shown in Morality Bites when she destroyed the attic in a fit of panic. Although, we don't see this in the season finale when they are telling and writing their futures down and see Wyatt and Chris making potions without their sister with them. Maybe, she just wasn't in the room.
* This is the first time that the Simmons twins are listed in the closing credits in the role of Wyatt, but only as guest-stars.
* The song in beginning is "Fallen" by Sarah McLachlan.
* Piper could have cast the "To Listen Secret Thoughts" spell (last cast in Season 2's They're Everywhere) to hear what was bother Wyatt, rather than creating a new spell.
* Vicus vanishes the same way that the Cheshire Cat does in Disney's '.
* This bad fututre Wyatt can`t grab the book, but during Chris-Crossed when Chris was in the future with Bianca Wyatt touched the Book.
