Episode 1: Charmed Again Part 1
When Leo goes upstairs to retrieve a distraught Piper, he refers to the Elders specifically by name. Piper, of course, opened the door by blaming "them" for refusing to heal Prue, the witch who died at the conclusion of Season 3's "All Hell Breaks Loose". Leo replies thusly, "They, the Elders, don't have that kind of power." Use of the appositive in this context allows the writers to remind previous viewers that there exists a hierarchy above Leo, a whitelighter, and to introduce new viewers to an amorphous group of supernatural beings who are generally not seen in Charmed.
