Well, Kaela's link to Mel and Maggie was finally revealed in this episode.
Years before, Dexter Vaughn, Maggie and Macy's birth father, was hit with a similar curse to the one killing Ray, their step father. However, at the time, Macy thought it was cancer. Determined never to lose a loved one to the disease again, Macy donated some of her stem cells to a Cancer Research Organization.
As was revealed in the premier episode, Kaela is a cancer survivor. When she stopped responding to treatment, she went to that same organization and received the stem cells that Macy had donated. Said stem cells also gave Kaela her powers.
So there it is, the reason why Kaela is a Charmed One, even though she's not biologically related to Mel and Maggie. I must say that it was an interesting way to do it.
Anyway, in this episode Ray is cured. He and Dexter have kind of a pissing contest at first. At least Dexter got to spend some time with Maggie, before returning to the Veil.
Mel found out why Sunny hate her and her sister. Sunny was a victim of the Faction, of Season Two. Still, the Charmed Ones were hardly responsible for what the Faction did. Sunny is down another life.

So like the season 2 episode of the original series 'Astral Monkey' where Dr. Williamson accidentally injected himself with Prue, Piper, and Phoebe's blood and acquired their powers although he went mad with them a similar situation occurred with Kaela then concerning cancer through Macy's stem cells that's different in her having, not gone mad since receiving her powers.
I wonder if that episode inspired this reboot storyline with writers tweaking it to fit their narrative? If that's the case then any human who got one of the sister's stem cells could also get powers perhaps?
My third question is then once Kaela received Macy's stem cells was her manifestation power immediately activated or didn't that happen until Macy's death?

Kaela's powers didn't start to manifest until after Macy died. That was when she started having dreams of Mel and Maggie. Had Macy lived, none of that would have happened.
A more interesting solution that pulling yet another sister out of thin air, IMO.

I'm slowly catching up. I liked Dexter and Ray's banter. It's what we never saw with Victor and Sam on OG Charmed. So that's how she got her powers.  Only complaint Mel had zero interactions with her dad or even involved in his plot lines. |

Only a week behind. Of course, there are only two episodes left.
Victor VS Sam was a real missed opportunity. Glad the reboot didn't repeat that mistake of missing said opportunity.
