Witch Trial - S2-E1
Corrected entry: Right after Grams says "I Love You" to the sisters at the end, we see a close-up of Phoebe. In this shot, you can see the tear in Prue's shirt, but immediately afterwards, there is a shot of Prue where it appears to be sewn or something. (00:41:55 - 00:43:00)
Corrected entry: In this episode the Charmed ones state that the ghost can only be vanquished by a potion on the ghost's bones (grave) or if the haunted object is destroyed. But in episode 1-20, "The Power of Two", Prue has to die herself to be able to vanquish the ghost with a spell, and we learn then that this is the only way to vanquish ghosts.
Correction: A ghost can also vanquish a ghost using a spell as another means in addition to pouring a potion over its bones/grave.
Corrected entry: Leo tells the sisters that the darklighter gets his victims to commit suicide because it's the only way to prevent a future whitelighter from becoming a whightlighter. But in future episodes with darklighters, he tells the sisters that if the darklight kills their target, it will prevent them from doing all the good they are destined to do as a whitelighter.
Correction: Maggie had already done all the good she was destined to, meaning if the Darklighter was to shoot her, she would still become a whitelighter because she had already earned her wing, as they say. It's believed that the only sin that cannot be repented is suicide, so it would be the only way to damn her.
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.
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 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.
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.
Corrected entry: Phoebe has to explain to Leo that she and Prue were once in a car accident and Phoebe was injured badly, but if Leo has been watching the charmed ones since they were children or birth, wouldn't he already know about it.
Witch Trial - S2-E1
Corrected entry: Grams appears to the sisters (Prue, Piper and Phoebe) for the first time in the second season, "Witch Trial." When Prue dies (season three) Grams tells Piper and Phoebe they aren't ready to see her yet, but five seasons/years later they still don't get to see her, even though they got to see Grams approx. 2 years after her death.
Correction: It is found out that Prue's spirit never made it to the same place as Grams and Patty. Instead her spirit went into a witch that was in a coma, Patience. It is shown in the comic/graphic novels that follow on from the TV series. Which means that she could never have been summoned.
Correction: We don't know what qualifies as "ready." It could be getting over losing her, which they never fully did; it could be needing her badly enough, which they didn't once Paige came about; or it could be some cosmic thing that we never found out. The "rules" on what makes them ready aren't ever explained.
Corrected entry: In this episode past evil Phoebe has the power to throw fire. But in season 4, when Phoebe becomes queen of the underworld, Leo says throwing fire is an upper level demon power.
Ms. Hellfire - S2-E9
Corrected entry: Towards the end, Prue believes Piper and Phoebe are imposters and she uses her power to throw them back - but their powers don't work on good witches.
Corrected entry: Tuatha says that there is no such thing as a courage potion, and when the girls search the book of shadows they also say that there is no magical way of giving confidence. But in episode 1-11, 'Feats of Clay', Piper casts a confidence spell on Doug so he will stop breaking everything in the restaurant.
Correction: Given that the confidence spell on Doug backfired and turned him into a conceited ass, they likely discounted that spell right away.
Corrected entry: The family tree was written in the same handwriting, and that includes that Grams died, so that would have meant that either Prue, Piper or Phoebe had written the family tree.
Correction: There was someone else that was around the entire time. Leo.
Corrected entry: When Phoebe is trying to explain to Piper why she cast a smart spell she says, "Then again, you probably do know what I'm talking about, you have a four year degree". But in 3-7, 'Power Outage', (when the sisters are fighting because they have been infected with rage by Andras) Phoebe shouts "At least i had the courage to go away to college. What's the matter Piper, the real world too much for you?"
Witch Trial - S2-E1
Corrected entry: When the BOS was about to be taken, its pages turned, how could Phoebe get there that quickly from her bedroom. In fact, how could she hear them turning if she was in her bedroom, asleep with her door closed. (In "The Fourth Sister" all of the sisters had their doors closed at night).
Correction: There is no reason to believe that Phoebe was asleep in her bedroom just because she was wearing a nightdress, maybe she was just on her way to the attic after she woke up. This would be likely as she was interested in finding out all she could about witchcraft on the anniversary of the day they received their powers.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Phoebe brings in the flowers from outside, she tells Prue they are for her and continues to say there is no card. How does she know they are for Prue if there is no card to say so?
Corrected entry: Phoebe's final is on Friday morning, but when she comes to the Goo-Goo Dolls concert at P3 (on Saturday, according to the posters) she's already received her grade. There is no way her final would have been corrected and her grade posted up that fast.
Correction: Her grade very much could have been posted by that point. I taught a college course and my class had their final on a friday night, We had to have their final exam grades and overall class grades by Sunday morning. So that is the same time period and everyone's grades were done. Maybe the professor had help.
Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22
Corrected entry: When Prue gets turned into a teenager after wishing that she wanted it to be like it was the first time, she was at a cafe with Dick. When the genie is freed, he goes to the same cafe. When Piper and Leo go looking for him, Piper supposedly knows which cafe the genie found Prue at, even though Prue has no memory of the future so she couldn't have told them.
Correction: Prue planned the date before she was turned into a teenager and as her sisters know about Dick, she probably told them what they were doing that day, which was going to a cafe. The conversation may not have happened on screen but its perfectly reasonable, I tell my sisters wherever I'm going on my dates.
Be Careful What You Witch For - S2-E22
Corrected entry: In this episode, Phoebe has a sprained ankle from fighting a demon. Surely as it was an injury caused by fighting evil (as stated in an earlier episode, Leo can only heal injuries caused by witch related activities), Leo should have been able to heal it?
Correction: It is just the way her hands/arms are placed in the next shot. It closes the gap/tear but it is not sewn.
