In 'Charrrmed!', The last witch that the pirates took was discovered to be a lesbian. Her mortal partner asks The Charmed Ones to help out.
The sisters deal with the lesbian issue well at first, but unfortunately the girlfriend who's a witch dies (a common fate for women who dare to be lesbian on TV), and no one seems to care, nor do they even think of telling the mortal of her girlfriend's death.
When Paige encounters Captain Black Jack Cutting, an 18th century pirate in search of the Fountain of Youth, the curse on his life becomes her problem. Meanwhile, Leslie manipulates a contest in order to spend time with Phoebe, Leo fights with the creature that caused him to kill an Elder, and a mysterious federal agent comes to town to investigate the Halliwells.
