Siren Song - S5-E4

Visible crew/equipment: While Leo is at the manor with Phoebe, who volunteered to make the potion, when Piper and Paige orb into what's left of Melissa's home, through the hole in the wall we can see the boom mic (with a white striped tip) hovering over the sisters, just as Piper tells Paige she doesn't want to make Melissa more upset. (00:24:45)

A Witch in Time - S5-E8

Visible crew/equipment: After Bacarra takes the human heart from the witch it cuts to the Halliwell manor, and as the camera pans to the right we can see lighting equipment and the boom mic (with a white striped tip) at the top of the screen, then in a following shot from the same direction the boom mic is visible again. (00:30:55)

Sand Francisco Dreamin' - S5-E14

Visible crew/equipment: After Phoebe returns with a bowl of dream dust from the remains of the Sandman, Phoebe opens and closes the door to the conservatory to view their three dream guests, then as they all turn and walk toward the sofa we can see the reflection of the moving boom pole and mic in the mirror. Also, note the door that Phoebe had closed is now wide open in Leo's closeups. (00:32:15)

The Day The Magic Died - S5-E15

Visible crew/equipment: While Paige and Phoebe are in the basement getting some magic from the unicorn horn, Phoebe figures out it was the Elders who sent the unicorn, and just as Paige comments that the unicorn's magic is not affected by what happens on Earth, you can see the animal handler's hand under the animal's muzzle. (00:37:35)

Super Grover

Baby's First Demon - S5-E16

Visible crew/equipment: While Elise is telling everyone about Bay Mirror's new owner, Jason Dean, just as she warns them that he's known for shaking up companies, we can see the white T-mark and a bit of the yellow tape mark on the crew's black mat (which is gone in following shots) at the lower left of the screen. (00:09:15)

Witch Wars - S6-E21

Visible crew/equipment: While the demons are watching Witch Wars at the bar, when the show's host, Corr, is holding an athame he tells viewers the winner will be awarded a serious power boost, then just as Corr says, "Since the shapeshifter..," in the shot of the demon bar patrons, we see the T-mark (it is not part of the Witch Wars show) taped to the floor under the table. That T-mark is visible again in at least three following shots. (00:23:35)

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.

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.
