SpellsEdit

To Find the Place of InjuryEdit

This spell was used by Phoebe to take her to Paige. It brought her to the Callaway Family, because Paige was injured there.

Lead me back from whence this came,

Help me help my sister's pain.

To Call for a SpiritEdit

The Halliwell Sisters, Leo, the Callaways and the Montanas combined their magic to call for the spirit who attacked them before.

Unknown spirit, we call to thee,

Those who wish to set you free.

Cross on over, so we may help.

Come to us. Reveal yourself.

To Block the Power of EmpathyEdit

Phoebe cast this spell, hoping it would block her empathy to feel her sister's emotions, but it didn't work.

In the name of the Halliwell line,

Bar my sisters from this power of mine.

PotionsEdit

Richard gave Paige a potion to make her feel better and speed up the healing process.
Richard's mother was carrying a platter filled with potion bottles. They would later be used by the Montanas to attack the Callaways.
Richard's brother took another one from the living room. They would later be used in the battle as well.

To Identify the Source of an InjuryEdit

Piper made this potion to see if Paige really was hit by an Energy Ball. The potion got lighter, which means she was hit by a Plasma Ball.

The Potion Sorcerer made a potion to block empathy, so an empath wouldn't be able to feel the emotions of the user of this potion.

PowersEdit

Plasma Balls: Used by Olivia (unseen) to attack Grandmother Callaway, but the Plasma Ball hit Paige instead. She later used it to kill Richard's dad and she created one when she wanted to attack Paige.
Levitation: Used by Phoebe whilst meditating.
Empathy: Used by Phoebe to feel Piper's, Paige's, Olivia's, Chris' and Leo's emotions. She also felt that Piper's date liked her. Later on, she got overwelmed by all the emotions of the Callaway and Montana family.
Orbing: Type of Teleportation used by Chris, Leo and Paige.
Telekinetic Orbing: Used by Paige to orb an apple into Phoebe's mouth.
Invisibility: Used by Leo to be invisible while spying on Chris.
Energy Balls: Used by a Callaway to attack Richard. Later, the Callaways used it to attack the Montanas and vice versa.
Intangibility: As a ghost, Olivia Callaway was intangible.
Floating: Used by Olivia to float (as a ghost).
Wisping: Type of Teleportation used by Olivia Callaway.

Notes Edit

This episode title is a play on Life's/Love's a Bitch.
This episode has the same plot as "Romeo and Juliet". Two families have a feud. Except, in Charmed, only one of the romantic couple dies. The family names are also similar: Montana/Montague and Callaway/Capulet. In Innocents Lost, Romeo and Juliet appear.
When Paige orbs an apple into Phoebe's mouth, you can see Holly attempting not to laugh and then starts to walk off when Alyssa bites the apple. The particular scene wasn't scripted, but the writers decided to leave it in.
The empathy sound effect has been shorted in this episode.
This is the tenth episode to have the word 'witch' in the title.
The cafe where Piper has a date is the same as Quake and will later appear again as Cafe Le Blue in "Spin City".
Balthazar Getty makes his first appearance as Richard Montana.
Richard said that Paige is not a Muse or Whitelighter, but a Witch like him. She is actually Half-WHitelighter.

GlitchesEdit

Chris's hairstyle changes between scenes. When he first orbs into the manor, his hair is in a side parting, but when he joins the sisters in the kitchen, he has his normal hairstyle.
Phoebe says that Piper dated "A demon, a warlock and a ghost". Piper never dated a demon.
