Cultural References[]

Continuity Errors[]

  • When Zira is shown the page in the book depicting the Belt of Gaea, it is clear when compared to the other page that it has been added to the book (the page is discoloured, whilst the other is white).
  • In the book the demons find at Magic School, Hippolyta is misspelled "Hippolytal".
  • The professor calls Yin warm and Yang cold, while in reality, it is the other way around.
  • When Piper is in P3 arguing with Leo's music buddy, her arms change position between shots.

Quotes[]

Phoebe (talking about Agent Murphy): He's got a case files for us.
Paige: A case? What are we, Charlie's Witches? We don't work for him.
Phoebe: Well, apparently he seems to think that we do. Especially reminding me over and over that he bailed us out of our little jam.
Piper: That's blackmail.
Phoebe: No, That's your taxpayer dollars at work.
Paige: I have to go deal with a charge.
PhoebeNo, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are not dumping this in my lap, missy. I'm very busy too. I have dates, lots and lots of dates.
Piper: Are you trying to get pregnant again?
Phoebe: No. I'm trying to find love. So he wants us to go though boxes to see if we can find anything.
PiperHow many boxes? (on seeing them all.) You have got to be kidding me.... You know, Agent Murphy  can't make us do this on a weekly basis, it's boring.
PhoebeWell, if he does, we'll just turn him into a frog or something.
