Sword and the City WB Trailer

Charmed Promo season 6 ep

The WB episode promo

  • This episode was reportedly Holly Marie Combs's favorite episode to film because of the sword-fighting scenes.
  • Coincidently, during the production of this episode, Holly Marie Combs found out she was pregnant with her first child with former Charmed grip, David Donoho.
  • We find out that Wyatt has a second destiny, being the wielder of Excalibur. His other destiny is being the Twice Blessed Child.
  • Piper's knights include a Banshee, a Creeper Demon, a Grimlock, and a Soul Blaster Demon.
  • Chris and Darryl do not appear in this episode.
  • Merlin is mentioned in this episode by Mordaunt, who says Merlin is only a fairytale, yet in We're Off to See the Wizard, the wizard says that Merlin was merely an over rated hack.
  • The WB used the promo title Charmed in Camelot.
  • This episode is known as "Queen Piper 1" in Australia.
  • This episode marks the first time Paige orbs something without calling besides when she was in limbo. She also orbed the heaviest thing she had ever orbed.
  • In this episode, it is revealed that Piper is the new Lady of the Lake and received the abilities to wield Excalibur and to call it back to her.
  • The female Oracle waiting in line is wearing an identical costume to the Oracle from season 4.
  • The Muse pulling on the sword is corporeal and visible to everyone, despite the fact that a spell needed to be cast in Muse to My Ears to be able to see them.
  • Edward Atterton, who portrayed Mordaunt in this episode, portrayed King Arthur in the Mists of Avalon miniseries.
  • Phoebe dies for a fifth time in this episode.
  • Paige dies for a sixth time in this episode.
  • As Piper points out, Leo once again displays his handyman abilities, seen prominently in the first half of season 1 by repairing all the things wrong with the house once again.

References to other movies, books, mythology, etc.

  • The title of this episode is a combination of the show "Sex and the City" and the 1963 animated film "The Sword in the Stone". 

Glitches

  • As Piper is talking to Mordaunt at the Round Table, her fringe changes from in front of her face to behind her ear to in front of her face again.
  • When Phoebe is walking the Dwarf to the door after finding out Piper pulled the sword from the stone, he steps outside and goes into fast-forward, then stops and goes back to normal speed as he sniffs a flower. During this, in the background, you can see Phoebe, who freezes the whole time.
