Witch Way Now? - S4-E22

Revealing mistake: In the teaser, when Leo levitates to hang a picture, he has a major wedgie and the ankles of his pants hike up to mid-shin due to the harness that is used for the levitation effect.

Black as Cole - S4-E8

Revealing mistake: When Paige cuts the flesh away from Sykes, you can visibly see a white bandage-like thing under his skin as it comes off. (00:23:20)

Enter the Demon - S4-E4

Revealing mistake: In the beginning of the episode, Yenlo and Anling are fighting with swords. After Yenlo says, "I'm going to kill him, Anling. And then I'm going to kill you," Anling stabs him with her sword. Yenlos' wound is very bloody, but there is no blood on Anling's sword at all. (00:04:25)

Charmed and Dangerous - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: During the episode, Paige is wearing a sleeveless top, but when she thrown across the attic by 'The Source' the stunt double is wearing sleeves. (00:37:45)

A Knight to Remember - S4-E6

Revealing mistake: When the prince is supposed to be frozen on Paige's living room couch, when they do a close-up you can see the actor blink.

Charmed and Dangerous - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode after Phoebe and the Seer put the hollow away in its place, she leaves, but when it next cuts to a closeup of Cole, in the corner of the screen you can see her hair. (00:41:50)

Hell Hath No Fury - S4-E3

Revealing mistake: When Phoebe and Paige use Cole as bait to lure Piper to the manor, Phoebe levitates and kicks two furies at once. When they show the front shot of her kicking these two furies, we can see Alyssa Milano's stunt double. (00:34:25)

Brain Drain - S4-E7

Revealing mistake: When the Chameleon Demon changes from a lamp to a demon he throws Piper and Phoebe with Telekinesis but Piper looks to the right before he motions the toss. (00:03:05)

Charmed and Dangerous - S4-E13

Revealing mistake: In the scene where The Source uses Piper's powers together on the clay object (it blows up and then freezes), after he unfreezes it, the pieces shatter and one lands on the stand thing. As the camera moves in towards The Source, before the camera passes the clay piece it visibly vanishes (as it is CGI) and then the Source holds up a piece which is much larger and a different shape. (00:19:45)

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.

Questions

All Hell Breaks Loose - S3-E22

Question: Later in Charmed they bring the so called "cleaners" in episode 6-2 when Wyatt conjures a dragon and magic is exposed. Why didn't the cleaners appear earlier in this episode when Piper and Prue exposed magic?

Nenita2015

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.
