Bride and Gloom - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: While Dantalian tries to steal the Book of Shadows from the attic Piper and Phoebe surprise her, then when Phoebe kicks Dantalian and she falls we see the stuntwoman's footwear has chunky sole ridges, but when the sisters approach Dantalian her shoes have heels. (00:32:10)

Super Grover

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.

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

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.

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: When the banshee came to the attic, she smashed all of the windows, except for some in the middle of the big window, but in the next shot that glass was gone.

Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22

Plot hole: When teenage Prue has run away with the demon, and Phoebe and Piper find her in the park, teenage Prue is 'killed'. Her sisters drive her home to get Leo to heal her, but shouldn't they have just been able to call to Leo to orb to them when Prue was first hurt, and heal her in the park, and save driving back to the Manor, risking Prue dying?

Suggested correction: I see orbing to the park but he didn't heal her, she was already dead and he can't heal the dead, that's why the genie brought her back - that's what Phoebe wished for.

But if they would have called for him right away - he would have been able to heal her before she died. However at this point in time I don't think they knew how to call for him.

Yes, they did know how to call him. At least Phoebe did, because when Piper got sick in the hospital from the disease she inherited from the illegal fruit, Prue and Phoebe screamed out Leo's name until he appeared in the attic.

They did, they first tried it in the episode when Piper was sick with an exotic disease and dying in the hospital.

It bothers me that they never used it again until Season 4. When Prue was held by Abby, Leo could have helped if she called, and so many other times... so annoying.

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.
