Cat House - S5-E18

Plot hole: When Phoebe and Paige are be sent through Piper and Leo's past we see things that that cannot be true. 1. When Leo was dying in "Love Hurts" you see Piper and Leo orbing, but in the actual episode they walked down the stairs. 2. In "Just Harried" we see the cake fall and the Statue skid on the floor, but in the actual episode it was caught under the cake.

Witches in Tights - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Phoebe dangles the slumlord from the roof, the TransAmerica Pyramid can be seen behind Phoebe and Cole. A subsequent shot, after Phoebe tosses the slumlord back onto the roof, is take from the opposite side, but the TransAmerica Pyramid is still behind them, and is much closer. (00:25:25)

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

Plot hole: Paige says she cannot wait to tell the local witch doctors that Borneo demons are not impervious to magical powers. But in the episode 'House Call', they act as if they have never heard of witch doctors, let alone dealt with them. (00:01:45)

The Eyes Have It - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe goes to get her palm read, Madame Theresa draws lines on her hand. But when she first enters the room and sits down the lines are already visible on her hand, before they have been drawn there. (00:01:00)

Happily Ever After - S5-E3

Other mistake: If all the objects in the fortress are originals from the fairy tales, why are the ruby slippers red? In the original story the slippers were silver, they were made red for the MGM movie, so they would be the brightest thing on the screen.

The Day The Magic Died - S5-E15

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, Paige is wearing a shirt with the scrunching sleeve on the right and slanting on the left. In following scenes, the scrunching sleeve is on the left and slanting on the right. (00:07:40)

Witches in Tights - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: Just after 'the Aggressor' tears the picture of the girls, they all change back to their normal clothes, however in one shot, Paige's arm is visible and she is still wearing her costume. (00:34:35)

Sam I Am - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: When the Charmed Ones decide to try to vanquish Cole, Paige says that the newest potions they mixed should work, since they're "at least as strong as the ones [they] used on the Source." But they never used any potions that had an effect on the Source. (00:34:50)

Sam I Am - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: Watch Paige's right shoulder throughout this episode. Every once and a while you can see her black bra strap disappear, reappear, and disappear again between shots. (00:24:30)

House Call - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: Leo orbed from the Manor to Hell while it was full daylight. He orbed Jessica straight to the church, there was a brief scene, and then Leo and Paige orbed directly back to the Manor, but by the time they arrived it was completely dark. (00:31:45 - 00:33:45)

Centennial Charmed - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: Paige's headstone reports her year of birth as 1975. But in episode 4-2: "Charmed Again, Part Two," Paige spoke with the nun to whom she was given as an infant on August 2, 1977, and Paige is always described as having been "given up at birth" by Patty and Sam. (00:27:15)

The Day The Magic Died - S5-E15

Plot hole: In the episode "The Day Magic Died," Phoebe and Paige first find out that magic is down when Paige tries to orb the unicorn. But, when she tries to orb it, she makes a scrunched up face that would suggest that she knew magic was out and she hoped that she could orb.

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.
