Corrected entry: In the second season, Leo was suspended from his position as a whitelighter for a period of several weeks. But why didn't the Charmed Ones receive a substitute whitelighter during that time?
Corrected entry: Charlene said that she could remember up to when she picked up the encyclopedia, however when they were retracing her steps, she couldn't remember where it was.
Correction: Charlene remembered walking down the aisle to get the encyclopedia. That doesn't mean she remembers exactly where the encyclopedia was in the aisle. After all, a lot has happened to her since then. What with getting decapitated by a demon and becoming a ghost and all.
Sympathy for the Demon - S5-E7
Corrected entry: When Barbas posing as Leo walks down with Piper, she sees a memory of her as a child. When "Leo" asks what she sees she says "It's okay, I remember this". Little her in the memory was running down the stairs with a toy telling her grams that she loves it. Then her father Victor approaches and gives little Piper a hug, a demon magically appears and attacks them, little Piper screams and Victor protects her while grams says a spell. How can Piper says she remembers this if they never knew about magic at the time?
Correction: Grams has already been shown to have the power to erase memories. For example in That 70's Episode, Grams made it so that little Andy wouldn't remember being frozen by little Piper. That means that she could have made Piper not remember the demon.
Thank You for Not Morphing - S1-E3
Corrected entry: When talking about their father, Phoebe says "He sent us birthday cards." But after that episode they made a number of references to the fact that he never sent them birthday cards, like when Piper tries to convince the others to sign Victor's card in episode 2-19.
Correction: When Phoebe says this, one of her sisters replies something like 'Selective memory much?', suggesting that in actual fact he rarely, if ever, sent them cards.
Corrected entry: When Nathan and Rick throw the knife and stab Leo after Leo pulls the knife out he heals himself, However throughout the whole series Leo makes it clear that Whitelighters can't heal themselves.
Correction: It's been noted throughout the series that the only way to kill a whitelighter is with the poison from a darklighter's arrow. Leo can't heal himself when injured from a darklighter, but can heal himself from other wounds.
Wait that still doesn't make sense. In the episode where Piper and Phoebe find out about Paige's existence, Leo gets injured and Phoebe asks him why he cannot heal himself and he responds "3 years together and you are just now asking these questions?" Piper is icing his neck for him. That was another wound (not from a darklighter) and he was not able to heal himself then. I think the writers just needed an easy way to show the ghost brothers that Leo was still alive and that he is a whitelighter that cannot die.
Corrected entry: The whole reason Piper and Leo can't be together is because he has become an elder, but he's present at home just as much as he was when he was a whitelighter. And why would he be worried about "breaking the rules" now after all they've already been through?
Corrected entry: When Phoebe had her premonition of Lydia being attacked by Cree, why didn't she immediately warn her? Lydia is a Gypsy high priestess, which Phoebe knows because she just saw Lydia perform a religious ceremony, and she also knows from the previous events in the episode that Gypsy elders are aware of Wiccan magic. But instead she said nothing and waited to talk to her sisters before doing anything about the premonition. So although they were able to save Lydia, she wound up being needlessly attacked and injured.
Charmed Noir - S7-E8
Corrected entry: In season 6, "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell," it's said that no one can die if they're on the grounds of the magic school, but the gnome is killed in this episode in the library in magic school.
Corrected entry: In this episode the Charmed Ones see Bianca when she is little and when she is grown. When she is grown and from the future, she is the same age as Chris it would appear, even though we don't know her age. Chris is 22. As a child, Bianca looks like she is 7, that would make her 29. How would they have gotten together?
Correction: The little girl (Bianca) could easily have been 4 or 5. While it might be unusual for a 22 year old guy to date a 26 year old woman (Future Bianca could easily be 26 or 27), it's not impossible or unheard of. Also, Bianca is a Phoenix witch; perhaps they age differently. Demons through the series seem not to age as mortals or good witches do (Cole is a prime example). Bianca has the (demonic) power to "shimmer" (which no "good" character has done in the series, unless you count Cole-as-good while he still had his demonic powers) and Chris implies in the future flash-forward that before they met, she was a ruthless killer (Phoenix witches are bounty hunters, so it makes sense they are more similar to demons than they are to good witches).
Corrected entry: In 'Be Careful What You Witch For' the wishes were reversed if the genie went back into the bottle, but in this episode the different genies went back in the bottle several times without the wishes being reversed.
Correction: In "Be Careful What You Witch For," the genie had become human after all three wishes were granted (which is why he was able to eat food and such). He agreed to revert to being a genie again after he realized his actions had caused the death of Prue and other terrible consequences (i.e. he feels guilty, so he agrees to become a genie again to fix the wrongs he did by tricking the sisters into making wishes).
Corrected entry: The sisters act as though they have never heard of the evil eye before; but in episode 1-2 'I've Got You Under My Skin' the demon Javna invokes the power of the evil eye to steal youth from women.
Correction: Javna is the Charmed Ones' second vanquish, so it isn't all that unreasonable to assume they didn't know (or remember) that Javna's power was "the evil eye" since they were so new to the craft. They used the Hand of Fatima to vanquish him, and no "evil eye" was mentioned in 1-2 "I've Got You Under My Skin."
Correction: The evil eye was mentioned by Prue when they read the Javna entry.
Corrected entry: Tuatha uses a spell to disempower a witch, and the spell requires "a fresh human heart". Tuatha is an evil witch, so why is the same spell in the The Book of Shadows, a book of good magic? A spell requiring a fresh human heart is obviously not good magic, and the only way an evil spell could appear in the book is if the Charmed Ones themselves were evil, which they are not.
Correction: This is not a mistake, but ties into the exact nature of witchcraft. The craft itself is neither good nor evil, it is neutral. It is the witch using it that decides whether to use it for good or evil. It was included in the Book of Shadows as a reference or in a rare case when a good witch may have no choice to use it, maybe not by killing for a human heart, but obtaining one from a recently deceased person. Tuatha used to be a good witch, but turned evil. The spell may have been in her book when she was good, but she only started using it when she turned evil. It's the intent of the witch in how those are used. There are many spells and potions in the Book of Shadows that cause death or harm, again the intent is how they are used. If the girls had been more advanced in their craft they would have probably anticipated that Tuatha would cast that spell to take away their power.
Corrected entry: In "Thank You for Not Morphing," Victor is played by Tony Denison. But in "We All Scream for Ice Cream," and all the other episodes with him, he was played by James Read. The actors don't look anything like each other, either.
Corrected entry: In the Manor, in 1924, P. Russell threw a fireball at P. Bowen, who disintegrated it with her cryokinetic power. They did this in front of dozens of mortals. Since both good and evil magical forces want to prevent magic from being exposed to the world, something like that would almost never happen. And even if it did, this was all very similar to what Phoebe and Paige did in the marketplace in episode 6-19:"Crimes and Witch-Demeanors," which immediately brought out the Cleaners to wipe everybody's memories of having witnessed magic.
Correction: It was already known that the people in the manor knew they were witches. The book was there for everybody to see, and potions and amulets were lying around on the table where the Book of Secrets was, so it was no secret that they were witches.
Sleuthing With the Enemy - S3-E8
Corrected entry: On the Balthazar page in the book of shadows it says that there is no way to vanquish him, but on the opposite page is a vanquishing potion.
Correction: At one time there was no way to vanquish Belthazar, but later at some point in time, a vanquishing potion was found and then added to the book. Since the book is written by many generations of the Halliwell family, it seems rather likely that a witch of the family found a way to do it.
Corrected entry: According to this episode, the binding spell that Grams cast on the sisters when they were children would be automatically unbound when she died. If this happened they would not have needed to read a spell to gain their powers in the pilot episode 'Something Wicca This Way Comes'.
Correction: Grams bounded their powers including spell casting and potion making, so when she died only their spell casting and potion making powers were unbound, Phoebe still needed to read the spell to gain all their powers back.
No. Grams said their powers, that includes all powers. If they had all powers reading from the book would not be needed.
Corrected entry: The family tree shows the girl's father is Victor Jones. However, other episodes refer to him as Bennett or Halliwell. Also, on the family tree it shows that P. Bowen (past Prue) died in 1972. However, Prue was born in 1970 - not possible.
Correction: P. Bowen (Past Prue) died in May of 1970, not in 1972 and Prue was born in October of 1970, so the dates line up just fine.
Brain Drain - S4-E7
Corrected entry: If the vanquishing spell doesn't work in the Halliwell Hospital place, then the Power Relinquishing Spell shouldn't work either.
Correction: The reason the vanquishing spell didn't work was because the spell was to vanquish the Chameleon demon. But it was The Source disguised as the Chameleon demon, so it is obviously not going to work.
Corrected entry: When Phoebe first discovered that Leo was an angel and he had come back to help Max, this episode implies that he can only help new witches who are discovering their power, but he stayed with the charmed ones for years.
The Importance of Being Phoebe - S5-E11
Corrected entry: When Cole and Kaya are taunting Piper and Paige about the fact that they now own the manor, they hold the deeds out in front of them laughing for a good 5 seconds. Did they, and more importantly did Paige herself, forget that she can orb things to her? She could easily have summoned the deeds and orbed out of the house before Cole could stop her. (00:33:35)
Correction: It is entirely possible that they did get a new whitelighter but not know about him/her. After all Leo only came out as a whitelighter after Phoebe caught him using magic.
