Pre-Witched - S3-E17

Plot hole: One of the sisters asks why the familiar doesn't just jump in front of a bus 5 times, another responds with "we're the only ones strong enough to kill him." If they are the only ones strong enough to kill him, then how come two scenes later he falls on a knife during a fight with Phoebe and dies? If a knife can kill him then it doesn't make sense that he seeks out the charmed ones.

Pre-Witched - S3-E17

Continuity mistake: When Piper is sitting with Leo on the tailgate of the SUV, when shown from the front her hair is in front of her shoulder and ear, but from the back we see it tucked behind her ear. This switches constantly throughout the scene.

Pre-Witched - S3-E17

Other mistake: During a flash back of Grams in the kitchen she puts a rose in a pot, then Piper walks in, they talk and Piper starts to add some salt and a couple other ingredients into the pot. Grams asks how she knows what to add, Piper says says something about mustard - Piper wouldn't know what's in it already, she just walked in. And she never even finds it strange that there's a rose with a stem in it.

Sin Francisco - S3-E18

Other mistake: At the start of the episode when Prue and Phoebe are walking down the street (just before they find the box), the person with the green jacket on (in the background) reaches into the homeless man's hat and just "scrapes" the bottom of it. Not putting any money in, or taking any money out - a completely pointless action. (00:02:05)

Sin Francisco - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Prue talks to Piper after stopping her phone conversation, she tells her that "the Sin Balls work a lot faster than [they] thought. Once infected, the victim only has a few hours before it drives them to total self-destruction." However, this is almost verbatim what was written in the Book of Shadows. It could be easily read by the viewing audience when the book entry was shown. So all three sisters should already know this.

Sin Francisco - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Prue telekinetically moves the sin ball box across the street she moves it ALL the way across but when the man infected with greed goes to get the box, the box is only halfway across the street.

Sin Francisco - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: When Prue and Piper leave to help the hostage, Piper asks Leo, "Do you think she's mad?" Her hair is in front of her shoulders. Immediately afterwards, she sits on the couch with Leo. Her hair is behind her shoulders.

Sin Francisco - S3-E18

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Piper is ordering merchandise from Bloomingdale's and Prue, she and Phoebe realize the "sin balls" infected them. Piper's hair constantly changes from being in front of her shoulders and behind them.

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Revealing mistake: The sound of Phoebe writing with a permanent marker was added in, as you can see that the marker never touches the paper. Then after a few seconds Phoebe stops writing to listen to Prue and her marker isn't moving but the sound of writing can be heard. (00:05:30)

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe and Prue look in the Book of Shadows for the spell to summon Belthazor, it is written with the same artistic calligraphy as the rest of the Book. But this spell was written by the sisters themselves in episode 3-8: "Sleuthing With the Enemy." As a result, it should have a handwritten appearance similar to the pages Phoebe was working on at the beginning of this episode.

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe adds the photos to the Book of Shadows, Phoebe writes "Cole's human form" with large letters, then in the shot facing Phoebe as she says, "Your date, the guy you've been smooching," we see it's underlined with smaller writing, but in following shots it's back to the original larger lettering without the underline.

Cole: Phoebe, I love you. I don't know what's going on but maybe I can help. Would you like me to kill someone for you?

Answer: That was a mistake in the series.

Also, the episode is called 'Babies First Demon' and this alone tells us that it's Wyatt's first time in the field (so to speak) and as the sisters say, they've done a good job of clearing up their own magical messes so far. Nobody really knows how advanced Wyatt's powers are, or will become. That's why the cleaners appear, to nip things in the bud. The Cleaners didn't want to chance that the sisters could clean Wyatt's magic up, just incase they couldn't. Therefore intervening themselves, just in case.

Chosen answer: When the cleaners first surface in season 6 it is mentioned that usually the girls have been able to clean up their own messes (as seen in season 3 episode 22 when Phoebe turns back time thus concluding in the death of Prue).

Answer: Because they wanted them to fix their own mistakes.
