Magical Notes

Book of Shadows

Seven Deadly Sins

Demonic Infectors keep Crystal Boxes
that contain balls of each of the Seven
Deadly Sins, bottled at The Source and
by The Source. These Demons, who were
once human and consumed by Sin in Life,
use Sin balls to corrupt paragons of Good.
Infectors target a victim's predisposition
to Sin and magnify it with a Sin ball,
leading to the victim's Self-destruction
within hours. The Sin balls can only be
disempowered by destroying the Infector.

Identifying the Seven Deadly Sins

Pride

Notes and Trivia

  • Cole does not appear in this episode.
  • Prue doesn't use her Astral Projection power.
  • Phoebe doesn't use her Levitation power and her Premonitions weren't seen.
  • Prue and Piper's powers didn't work properly because they were infected by the sins.
  • The 7 Deadly Sins infected:
    • Pride: Prue Halliwell.
    • Gluttony: Piper Halliwell.
    • Lust: Phoebe Halliwell.
    • Sloth: Leo Wyatt.
    • Anger: Officer Dean.
    • Envy: Pastor Roger.
    • Greed: Robert Pike.
  • Lukas said Pride is the one Sin you can't beat, it's the only one that can't be beaten by a selfless act.
  • Leo noted that he'd been doing constant vigilance for 60 years.
  • This is the only time that Leo orbs with only Prue.  The only other occasion that he orbed with Prue, he orbed with all of the sisters "up there" to stop Eames (Blinded by the Whitelighter).
  • Along with Sand Francisco Dreamin', this is one of two episode titles that refer to the Charmed Ones hometown of San Francisco.
  • Holly and Roark Critchlow, who plays Robert in this episode, would later star together as a married couple in the movie "Point of Entry".
  • Darryl says to Prue "what have you got a death wish or something?" possibly foreshadowing her upcoming death. Prue also ironically states when infected with Pride, "Nothing can destory me". 
  • Roark Critchlow later appears in Pretty Little Liars as Tom Marin. PLL also stars Holly Marie Combs.

Glitches

  • When the first innocent was attacked by the demon Prue telekinetically moves the Sin box to the other side of the street where it bumps into the sidewalk. In the next scene when the innocent runs out to get the box it was lying in the middle of the street.
  • When Piper freezes Lukas, the belt of his coat can be seen flapping in the wind of the vortex.
  • When Lukas is going to infect officer Dean, you can see 2 balls, but when he closes the box, there are none.
  • In the Book of Shadows entry uncontrollable is spelt without an "r" and disempowered misses the "s".
  • Leo claims that the sin box was probably the inspiration for Pandora's box. However, in "Little Box of Horrors" it is revealed that the legend about Pandora's box is real.

Quotes

Darryl: (to Prue) You know I've never seen you run away from danger, but I've never seen you run toward it either!
Darryl: ( to Prue) What do you have some kind of death wish or something?

Prue: I'm doing it again, aren't I?
Prue:You're right, I'm sorry.
Piper: Drop the humility crap and give me my sister back.

Prue: I don't get it, you, Leo and Phoebe committed selfless acts and got rid of your sins, but I committed many selfless acts and had to wait for Lucas to be vanquished to get rid of mine.
Piper: Well Lucas said that Pride was the only sin that could not be beat. Anything you did while under the influence of the sin was for the greater glory of Prue. I guess what he meant was that there is no selfless act to Pride.
Prue: But I jumped into a bottomless pit to save the pastor.
Piper: Yes, but you did that to win.

Prue: What did the Elders have to say?
Leo: I don't know...
Prue: What do you mean you don't know?
Leo: Well I got tired halfway up there so I came back.

Phoebe: Guess what? My Ethics Professor kicked me out of class.
Prue: What? Why, what happened?
Phoebe: I don't know, I don't know. One minute I was telling him why my paper was late, and the next thing, I knew I was . . . unzipping his pants with my teeth.
Prue: Oh! Oh, Phoebe you do know that charming the pants off someone is just a figure of speech, don't you?
