Valhalley of the Dolls (1) - S6-E1
Plot hole: Phoebe becomes an empath. But in Primrose Empath (S3:E6) Leo tells the sisters an empath is a mortal who has died and come back as an empath, so it wouldn't be a progression of a witch's powers like it is in this episode. Plus Phoebe isn't dead.
Suggested correction: There is a difference between an Empath and the power of Empathy. A true Empath is a mortal that has died and been reincarnated and they are a separate race of magical beings. But other beings, such as witches, can have the power of empathy. It does get confusing because they refer to a witch with empathy as an empath, but that doesn't mean they are true empaths. In addition, Phoebe developed her empathy powers in her 20's as one of her first powers and her power of empathy is the strongest of any being.
And where is this stated anywhere in the 8 seasons of the show?
