34 corrected entries in season 5

(16 votes)

Necromancing the Stone - S5-E21

Corrected entry: When Prue initially used the truth spell in episode 1-8, 'The Truth is out There and it Hurts', it meant anyone she asked a question had to tell the truth, and she also had to answer truthfully if she was asked anything. When Paige cast it though it only worked on Nate. If the spell had worked the same way as it had on Prue then Paige would not have had to cast it again on Grams at the end if the episode.

Correction: Paige has spent most of the season out of work and putting all her energy into studying magic full-time at this point. She's had plenty of time to revise and perfect the spell.

Captain Defenestrator

Correction: The spell removes any powers a witch possesses. Paige is half-whitelighter/half-witch, so the spell could take her orbing ability, since that is a power possessed by a witch.

Captain Defenestrator

Correction: Baccara tells his past self that the spell is from the future, so it's likely that the spell has been "improved on" so that only one heart is now needed.

Captain Defenestrator

Correction: In this episode the demons are all celebrating his hundredth birthday and when Cole comments on how the cake is a very nice cake the designer of the cake says "Thank you, my liege, although I must admit, I thought you were actually 117." So, Cole's real age is known but the demons don't want to insult him.

A Witch in Time - S5-E8

Corrected entry: Leo should have known that Paige and Phoebe were dead as soon as it happened. Usually when one of his charges is hurt he feels the pain, but he was surprised to see their ashes and did not know what had happened, and he only orbed in when Piper called him.

Correction: Piper calls before Phoebe and Paige get turned into ash. She calls out of fear not because her sisters were dead.

The Eyes Have It - S5-E6

Corrected entry: In 'The Eyes Have It' Phoebe's vision shows her that Piper's explosion power doesn't work on Orin, so why did Piper later try to blow him up? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Piper try to freeze him, or be ready with a knife for Paige to orb into him? Why try a method of attack they had already seen fail?

Shay

Correction: It is Piper's first instinct, ie her natural impulse, to try and blow him up, even though she knew it would not work. It does not make this a mistake.

Y Tu Mummy Tambien - S5-E10

Corrected entry: When Piper changes out of her maternity clothes, she does so in her bedroom closet. But that's the same closet that she and Leo converted into a nursery at the beginning of the season. There is no explanation of why and how it was once again filled with clothes.

DavidK93

Correction: This is not the same closet. Piper and Leo have two closets in their room. The one that is now a nursery must have been Leo's, because he takes his clothes from a dresser in this scene.

A Witch's Tail (1) - S5-E1

Corrected entry: Leo tells Piper that "there was no one there to finish [her baby book] after [her] mother died," and that's why every page from "The Sixth Year" onwards is blank. But Piper and her sisters were raised by Grams after Patty died. Why wouldn't Grams have continued filling in the baby book?

DavidK93

Correction: Maybe seeing the baby book that Patti started and never got a chance to finish was too painful for her. It's not really a mistake, it's impossible to predict how grief will affect people.

Shay

Witches in Tights - S5-E5

Corrected entry: After the girls realize that removing their masks alters their way of thinking, The Aggressor dashes in and uses his power to throw Phoebe across the room. After this, Piper runs to Phoebe but screams "Lyssie" (the nickname the cast and crew uses for Alyssa Milano)

Correction: Actually, she says Phoebe.

Centennial Charmed - S5-E12

Corrected entry: How does Paige know so much? First of all she knows that Cole is behind it all, though any number of demons have the ability to create temporal folds and as far as she knew Cole wasn't one of them. Second she knows that Phoebe is unhappy with Cole, just from talking to her for a few seconds. In fact, when she mentioned that she could help Phoebe get rid of him Phoebe threw her out. She seems to realise what's going on simply to save on exposition.

Shay

Correction: Paige had been suspicious of Cole for a long time at this point. Her assumptions just happened to be correct. Phoebe threw Paige out because Phoebe said she stayed with Cole so that he wouldn't kill Piper; she probably didn't want Cole to hear Paige and think Phoebe was conspiring against him and thus go ahead and kill Piper.

Centennial Charmed - S5-E12

Corrected entry: Cole enters his apartment on the first night and wishes himself a happy birthday. The next night is the night when Paige is at P3 and he turns the world into his alternate reality, then the next day is when Paige goes to the manor and finds his birthday in full swing. Even with the minor possibility that it was after midnight on the first night, his party is still a day late.

Shay

Correction: I have often had parties for my birthday on days other than my birthday.

House Call - S5-E13

Corrected entry: At the end of the episode, at P3, a tray falls onto the floor and Leo starts to tease Piper about it. A few moments later, when he jokingly runs off, Piper actually yells "Brian" instead of "Leo", which is really Brian Krause's character's name.

Correction: Actually, Piper throws the magazine to Leo and yells "Run", not Brian.

Centennial Charmed - S5-E12

Corrected entry: Although the actress has changed, Piper's doctor appears to be the same character as Eva, the shuvani, Paige even says 'we saved her shuvani tribe'. But throughout this episode they call her Eve. And she isn't a different tribe member because Paige tells Piper she already knows of their power, and Eva is the only one who knew from her tribe. (00:04:20)

Correction: Ava was the doctor whose clan they helped by vanquishing Orin in the "The Eyes Have It". Later on in the episode "Centennial Charmed" Eve is helping Piper prepare for Wyatt, and Paige almost orbs in front of her by accident while sneezing. They send Eve out of the room to find some ingredients after she suggests an old Gypsy remedy to stop the sneezing, and Phoebe says "it's a good thing Eve didn't see that." Paige doesn't see the big deal, because she belonged to the same gypsy clan as Ava, and says "You'd think she'd be fine with it". Phoebe says "it's one thing to know, it's another thing to actually see it." Eve and Ava are two totally different people. They look similar and they both belong to the Nicolae Gypsy Clan, but that's it. Eve knows they helped save her clan somehow, but has never seen, and may not even know about their powers.

Correction: The only time Piper was able to self heal was when she was pregnant with Wyatt her first son.

My Three Witches - S6-E6

Plot hole: When Gith takes the potion from Chris, he ends up stomping on it and shattering the potion bottle - making contact with the potion. We've seen that potions don't have to be thrown by someone who's even a witch for them to work (like when Cole's powers were stripped etc) so why on earth would he do this? And how did it not vanquish him? There are other ways he could have gotten rid of the potion that didn't involve a way that really should have vanquished him.

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?

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.

JC Fernandez

Answer: She became a producer.

Incorrect. Her billing changed in season 4 but she didn't become a producer until season 5.
