Spells

To Summon Zahn

Piper and Phoebe used this spell to summon Zahn. They wanted to give him one chance to give up Larry's soul, otherwise they'd vanquish him, but before they could even start talking, Paige and Richard summoned him as well.

We call upon the Ancient Powers,

To summon one to save a soul.

Potions

Phoebe made a potion to turn Spencer Ricks into a turkey.
She also made a potion to reverse the effects of the previous one.
She also made a potion to turn Spencer Ricks into a pig. She also reversed this one (not seen), probably using the same Reversal Potion as she used earlier or a spell.
Paige made a vanquishing potion for Zahn, but he froze it and destroyed it with an Energy Ball.
Phoebe made a potion to vanquish Zahn. It might have been the same one as the one Paige made.

Notes and Trivia

File:Charmed 6x07

Soul Survivor WB Trailer

The WB used the promo title Soul Sisters.
In this episode, it's shown that Richard is left-handed.
Paige dies for the fifth time in this episode.
The title is a pun on the term sole survivor, which is used when a single person survives an accident. Sole survivor can also be a reference to a variety of films and/or songs.
In this episode, there's also another clue that Chris could be Piper's son. After getting chased by the Dinosaur, Chris says "I think he's gone. He looks gone. Do you think he's gone?". It's almost the same thing Piper said in All Hell Breaks Loose, "I think we made it. I'm sure we made it. Do you think we made it?".
When Zahn is vanquished, Phoebe says: "Oh I love watching lawyers explode!", probably a reference to the times Cole was vanquished in Long Live the Queen & Sam I Am, as she didn't witness Cole's death in Centennial Charmed.
A central theme in this episode is Paige's need to be independent, an issue she has been struggling with ever since first meeting her sisters. Piper in particular seems to be troubled by this, as she fears for Paige's own safety and that of the rest of the family.
Paige blessed a soul for the first time in this episode. That soul being Larry Henderson.

Glitches

When Piper and Phoebe summon Zahn, he appears as a spirit, then, shortly after, when Paige and Richard summon him, he appears corporeal.
After Paige leaves Larry's office and the camera focuses on the alarm clock sitting on his desk. When it hits midnight, the day doesn't change.
When Paige is trying to convince Piper and Phoebe that she needs to save Larry's soul, she has the Book of Shadows open to the page on vampires. In subsequent shots, the open page changes to with two different demons; but Paige's hands are down by her sides the entire time, so she couldn't have flipped the pages over.
When Zahn's minions attack Larry, they have red energy balls, but when Larry is hit by one, the blast is blue.
