Continuity Errors[]
- In the Book of Shadows, the Belthazor pages are in a very different order. In "Look Who's Barking", the entry for "Cole's Human Side" is on the right and the info on Belthazor is on the left. Then there is a set of pages about Banshees and then a page to summon Belthazor.

Quotes[]
- Cole: Who are you?
- Old Phoebe: Maybe this will refresh your memory. (she walks over and slaps him across the face) You bastard.
- Older Phoebe: (holds up a sexy top to her body) Ah the good old days! Of course nobody's going to take you serious until you stop dressing like a tramp.
- Leo: (about to orb Little Phoebe to somewhere safe) Come on, take my hand. (She walks over to him) Now hold on tight.
- Little Phoebe: Are we going on a plane?
- Leo: No, but you might see some clouds.
- Phoebe: Well, I'm gonna go try knock some sense into myself.
- Paige: What about Little Phoebe? She went back to her time with all this knowledge of the future. Won't that cause complications?
- Piper: I doubt it. The minute she starts talking about magic, Grams will do some hocus pocus to erase all that knowledge.
- Paige: That's nice.
- Piper: That's Grams.
- Paige: I did the rhyme, I will do the time.
