Plot hole: Throughout the series, it's established that good witches don't freeze. In this episode, however, Little Piper freezes Future Prue and Piper when they come back to the manor to "kidnap" their younger selves. Simply because the Charmed Ones reason that only one "set" of sisters (past/future) could have their powers doesn't mean that Future Prue, Piper and Phoebe aren't good witches. In other time-travel episodes, the sisters remain immune to freezing and are still able to say spells make potions, meaning they are still good witches. For example, in Season 8 "Forever Charmed," Piper and Leo go back to 1975 (the same time-period as this episode) using Coop's ring, trying to find when Phoebe is alive again. However, when a startled Patty tries to freeze them, only Leo freezes. Piper does not, though she likely cannot use her freezing/exploding power in this time.
Continuity mistake: In this episode, the sisters go back in time to late March 1975. On the family tree it says that Piper was born on August 7, 1973. So she would be 1 and 1/2 in March 1975. But she looks at least 2 years too old. (00:09:30)
Factual error: In the opening scene in Salem, Melinda Warren is going to be burned at the stake. But in the real Salem trials, no one was burned; all of the people convicted of witchcraft were hanged.
From Fear to Eternity - S1-E13
Plot hole: Prue finds an entry in the book of shadows about the fear demon written by her mother. How would her mother know anything about this demon when no one has seen him in nearly 1300 years, let alone how to defeat him?
Love Hurts - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: In this episode Leo specifically tells Prue, Piper and Phoebe not to touch the Darklighters arrow because it is poisonous however in future episodes/seasons, the Darklighter arrows are only poisonous to Whitelighters. (00:06:30)
Other mistake: When Andy, Phoebe and Prue are in the attic figuring out how to vanquish the ghost of Alcatraz, pages starts flipping, the book opens up to the page where the truth spell is, and Andy finds out that Prue cast that spell on him. Later when he asks how much time Prue gave him to react, she says "a minute or two". But in the episode "Truth is out there" (1-8) it was first in Prue's office when she told him, and the clock on the wall shows that it's 25 past 5. And it was 8 o'clock when Prue cast that spell. So few hours later when Andy and Prue are at Andy's door, it's almost 8 o'clock and Prue says she needs the answer now. So doesn't Andy have more like few hours rather than few minutes to react?

Visible crew/equipment: After Jaime tells Prue that she's the hardest working woman he's ever met and believes she's innocent, Prue walks into the office to access Hannah's computer, and just as Prue sits down and moves closer to the desk, the blue T-mark is visible on the floor, under the office chair. (00:24:30)

Visible crew/equipment: When Phoebe joins her sisters in the kitchen before her first day at work, the reflection of the moving boom mic is visible on the glass cabinet, at the top of the screen. (00:10:05)
Which Prue Is It, Anyway? - S1-E16
Continuity mistake: While Phoebe explains the slam man training system Piper puts on Phoebe's boxing gloves, and when Prue says that demons don't play fair Piper playfully raises her left arm to Prue's forehead, but in the next shot facing Prue it's Piper's right arm that's raised. (00:04:00)
Continuity mistake: While Andy and Darryl are at the station talking about why Andy's been "walking around...like a zombie," Andy places a pencil behind his ear, but when it cuts to Inspector Blakely walking in behind Andy the pencil has vanished between shots, but it reappears again in the next shot. Then when Andy borrows the photograph of the knife, once again the pencil vanishes between the closeup and wideshot. (00:09:10)

Continuity mistake: When Brendon is about to sacrifice the young woman he has the tip of the dagger touching her chest in one shot and in the next shot, when Prue breaks open the door, it is about six inches above her.

Something Wicca This Way Comes - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode they show Piper running up the stairs to her house in the rain. The umbrella she has is black, with a colored ring around the edge. When she enters the house the whole umbrella has changed to colors surrounding the whole umbrella now. (00:02:35)
Chosen answer: Her agent/manager negotiated a special billing as part of her contract. It distinguishes her from the rest of the cast, probably when she became a producer on the show.
