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)

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

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)

Suggested correction: Phoebe had become a mermaid due to the Charmed ones spell, therefore making her immortal for the time being.

Ok, so it still doesn't make sense then. If Phoebe is an immortal being, she should have to place the Auger shell over her own heart, as the Sea hag said.

Actually... I believe that it still was Phoebe's choice even though the demon places it on her hart. That's why he said something like "keep your word/honer our deal." If she didn't want to do it she could get the shell off her heart but then Piper would die.

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

Plot hole: In this episode, when Piper and Leo are preparing the nursery, Leo tells Piper he has been watching her her whole life, and she says "That's a little bit creepy". she acts as if she doesn't already know this but in episode 2-22 'Be Careful What You Witch For' Piper says, "You have been watching me my entire life". (00:04:45)

Happily Ever After - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: In the teaser Piper is reading a fairytale book to her unborn child. When Paige walks in we get a glimpse of the book, and both pages are filled with words. When Paige walks out and we see the book again, the right page of the book has a picture on it. (00:00:15 - 00:01:35)

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.

Siren Song - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: When the Siren is being healed, you can see that she's just holding the pole next to her, when it's supposed to be going straight through her. (00:19:50)

Siren Song - S5-E4

Other mistake: When the siren gets the pole that was speared through her pulled out, there is only blood in the middle part of the pole. If it had really been pulled out of her, it would be bloody all the way along. (00:19:55)

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)

Super Grover

Witches in Tights - S5-E5

Revealing mistake: The character Ramus (the elder) changes actor when Leo jumps and orbs to get him away from the attack of the Aggressor. The actor's stand-in is visible instead. (00:18:52)

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)

Paige: Well, you wanted to live like us. Now you get to die like us.

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.
