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.
Plot hole: Cole explains that the demonic power is driving Karen mad because she is human. Cole later has Paige infected with one to drive her mad. This doesn't make sense since Paige is doubly not human, and shouldn't be driven mad. In fact the Charmed Ones have had demonic powers before and were not driven mad, but instead turned evil.
Suggested correction: They all are human, just not mortals.
Size Matters - S4-E5
Continuity mistake: Shortly after Phoebe frees the blonde girl from the clay, she tells her to run "before Gammill sees [them]." But Phoebe hadn't learned the demon's name at any point. Leo and Piper do find out his name, but not until later. (00:20:00)
Suggested correction: Gamill and Finn are talking when Phoebe is at the house. It may be possible that Gamill's name was mentioned by Finn in conversation.
Plot hole: Piper is initially skeptical at Phoebe's theory that the Evil Enchantress could be Paige in a past life, because Paige lacks the Enchantress' ability to summon the elements. However, Piper knows that in Phoebe's past life she had a pyrokinetic power, which she does not have in the present.
Suggested correction: This is not a correction, more of an observation that goes with this plot hole. In season 2 episode 14 'Pardon My Past' Leo explains to the sisters that Phoebe had her active powers taken away, because her past self had used them for evil, but yet the Enchantress does the same with her powers, and Paige still has active powers. It took two years for Phoebe fighting as a good witch to actually gain an active power again, and then it was only levitating. Becoming an empath took seven years. So that doesn't really make sense that Phoebe would be punished for her past self actions and Paige was not.
Possibly Paige had past lives in between the one we saw and the present one. So she could have already atoned for the evil past life in another past life.
Also Paige's active power comes from her Whitelighter side not her witch side, she doesn't have any active witch powers.
Paige's active power comes from her whitelighter heritage, so like Chris and Wyatt, she doesn't have an active witch power, so this active power has nothing to do with her Wiccan heritage and past life as the enchantress.
Plot hole: When Phoebe and Cole are using the apple peel to find out her true love how does she not recognize that it is Cole? Even with the mask it's very clear that it is him.
Suggested correction: I was thinking the same, but it's possible she thought he was an ancestor/past life of Cole. When she visited her own past life, she recognized everyone there because of their "souls" so maybe she thought the same with him. Although you'd think they'd acknowledge that a little.
Plot hole: The Sea Hag says at the start of the episode to Mylie that as an immortal being, only she can place the augur shell over her heart to give up her life. But at the end of the episode Necron magically places the shell onto Phoebe and it nearly sucks the life out of her. (00:03:20 - 01:14:55)
When Bad Warlocks Go Good - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: Prue finds Brendan, as a warlock, over the corpse of Father Austin. He runs away and she pursues him. He insists that he "didn't hurt Father Austin. [He] found him like that." Prue counters, "Before or after you turned into a warlock?" His response is, "After. When I saw what [my brothers] did to him, I was crazed. The rage turned me into a warlock." So doesn't that mean that he found Father Austin before he turned into a warlock, not after? (00:17:55)
Suggested correction: He said after because Brendan has always been a warlock. He was born that way.
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe starts the fight at the office, she gets pushed and a cut appears on her forehead, but the only thing she collided with was her arm.
Suggested correction: No, she was shoved and hit her head on a filing cabinet. It's shown.
Continuity mistake: In the teaser, when Phoebe physically experiences a past memory, the left strap of her bra is pulled off her shoulder. She then collapses to the ground. When her sisters find her the bra strap is back up on her shoulder. (00:03:25)
The Truth Is Out There... and It Hurts - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: When Phoebe asks Piper what she thinks of her boss, you can see that Holly's tattoo has been covered up, because that part of her wrist is darker than her skin. (00:17:15)
Suggested correction: Maybe Holly covered it up with makeup because she isn't supposed to have tattoos for her job? A lot of jobs still don't allow piercings and tattoos today but all those years ago it was even harsher.
There are multiple instances of covered tattoos during the early seasons. I noticed it the most on Alyssa's back tattoo.
Plot hole: When Yen lo enters the manor in the attic. Where did the water on the floor he comes through come from? Windows were closed, no visible leak, and the sister took precautions to make sure there was no water in the house. Also after he attacks and gets the dragon blade, he exits the house through the sink filled with water. Piper had already said to make sure there was no surfaces of water in the house and had Phoebe and Paige shut the water main off.
Suggested correction: There is a previous scene that shows a visible leak in the windows and an obvious puddle of water on the floor of the attic. This is the same puddle they later enter limbo through. As for the sink, Phoebe (in Paige's body) explains that she had been soaking potion pots and forgot to drain the sink. Turning off the valve wouldn't dissipate water that is already in the sink.
Valhalley of the Dolls (1) - S6-E1
Plot hole: Phoebe becomes an empath. But in Primrose Empath (S3:E6) Leo tells the sisters an empath is a mortal who has died and come back as an empath, so it wouldn't be a progression of a witch's powers like it is in this episode. Plus Phoebe isn't dead.
Suggested correction: There is a difference between an Empath and the power of Empathy. A true Empath is a mortal that has died and been reincarnated and they are a separate race of magical beings. But other beings, such as witches, can have the power of empathy. It does get confusing because they refer to a witch with empathy as an empath, but that doesn't mean they are true empaths. In addition, Phoebe developed her empathy powers in her 20's as one of her first powers and her power of empathy is the strongest of any being.
And where is this stated anywhere in the 8 seasons of the show?
Plot hole: The demon is killed when Leo proposes, hence before the wedding. So how is he able to break the cake topper?
Womb Raider - S4-E21
Other mistake: Piper tells Page that her doctor told her she probably wouldn't be able to conceive because of scar tissue from blunt force trauma. But Leo has healed Piper, if there was scar tissue after Leo heals, then all 3 girls should be covered in scars.
Suggested correction: They are thrown around quite a bit before even finding out Leo is a whitelighter. Also, he doesn't heal them every time they get thrown or hit in the abdomen. In fact, we usually don't see him heal them at all if they're just thrown across the room or punched in the gut, unless there's a visible wound.
Size Matters - S4-E5
Other mistake: Since when are managers, on a trial basis no less, allowed to renovate and change the name of a club?
Suggested correction: Piper says in the episode that she allowed him creative control because the club wasn't doing well, and he was well-known to be good at what he does. It's made clear throughout the episode, by way of him telling her multiple times that if she doesn't like it that he'll get rid of it, that she still has full veto power on any changes.
Continuity mistake: The first three episodes have zero continuity when it comes to Piper's love life. In Ep1 "Witch Trial" Piper is hooking up with the guy who is looking at the loan for P3. Then in Ep2 "Morality Bites" she is with Leo (presumably they have secretly been together for months as they discuss their many issues being able to talk when they're both so busy with magic crises and how Leo hasn't figured out how they can be together without clipping his wings). But by Ep3 "The Painted World" Piper and Dan are already together. They has been no discussion of Piper and Leo breaking up and zero mention of Piper and Dan getting together (in fact, the last time we saw Dan in Ep1, he and Phoebe were flirting pretty heavily). I am so confused and I do not at all remember these inconsistencies from when I first watched these episodes years ago. Were these shot and aired out of sequence or something?
Suggested correction: Your last statement is correct, which also invalidates your error. Ep3, "The Painted World" was produced before Ep2, "Morality Bites" but "Morality Bites" was aired first, out of sequence.
Suggested correction: Piper and Dan weren't together in The Painted World, they weren't together until she's a man, baby, a man. When Piper sees his dating tape.
Continuity mistake: In the recording that Agent Jackman plays for the sisters, the end of the reversal spell is heard "bring her back to me," but when Paige and Piper said it moments earlier, they only said "bring her back." (00:17:45 - 00:19:10)
Suggested correction: They say "bring her back to me" both times.
