The Power of Two - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: While Andy and Darryl are at the station talking about why Andy's been "walking around...like a zombie," Andy places a pencil behind his ear, but when it cuts to Inspector Blakely walking in behind Andy the pencil has vanished between shots, but it reappears again in the next shot. Then when Andy borrows the photograph of the knife, once again the pencil vanishes between the closeup and wideshot. (00:09:10)

Super Grover

Chick Flick - S2-E18

Character mistake: After the horror movie characters were killed in the attic, the sisters hear the door bell ringing. When they get to the bottom of the stairs and start walking towards the front door, you can see the actor playing Billy smiling even though they're all supposed to be on edge.

Look Who's Barking - S3-E21

Revealing mistake: The sound of Phoebe writing with a permanent marker was added in, as you can see that the marker never touches the paper. Then after a few seconds Phoebe stops writing to listen to Prue and her marker isn't moving but the sound of writing can be heard. (00:05:30)

Enter the Demon - S4-E4

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.

Ordinary Witches - S7-E11

Plot hole: When the man and woman receive Piper and Phoebe's powers, the lady freezes the man and Phoebe due to fear, but good witches don't freeze, so if Phoebe froze (which she shouldn't have due to only her active powers lost) then why did the man? If he had Phoebe's powers then he isn't mortal and therefore should not freeze.

When Bad Warlocks Go Good - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Brendon is about to sacrifice the young woman he has the tip of the dagger touching her chest in one shot and in the next shot, when Prue breaks open the door, it is about six inches above her. Also, when the victim is talking to Andy she says that she felt the tip of the knife, that he was about to drive it into her, but he was stopped by three woman. (00:24:15)

Show generally

Factual error: Numerous times in the establishing shots of San Francisco, the Embarcadero Freeway is visible. While the bridge did run along the San Francisco Bay, it was demolished in 1991 - seven years before the series even started.

Cubs Fan

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.
