The Book of Shadows[]

Stillman-sisters

The entry on the Stillman sisters.

Stillman Sisters[]

Mabel, Mitzy and Margo
Common witches known for their
small time hustles and cons.
Not worth vanquishing. If they
become a nuisance, try a
simple spell to bind their magic.

The entry in the Book of Shadows.

To Call a Witch's Power []

Powers of the witches rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here.

Spells[]

StillmanSisBowl

Mabel casting the spell.

Bowl Divination Spell []

Mabel Stillman used this spell so she could spy on the Charmed Ones. A bowl with a black liquid in it is required for the spell to work. When the spell is cast, the liquid's surface shows what the desired person is doing.

Give me sight through the blackest bile,
Show me the faces I revile.

Mabel Stillman's Identity Theft Spell[]

Identity theft

A picture of Paige replaced by Margo's.

Mabel Stillman cast this spell together with her sisters to change their identities into the Charmed Ones'. The spell turned the Charmed Ones into nobody. It made the world see them as Piper, Phoebe and Paige, although they still looked like themselves. The spell also changed every picture of the Charmed Ones into theirs.

Blinking faces, blank and ho-hum,
We are they, and they are no one.
Grant to us the Power of Three,
And turn them into nobody.

Anti-orb Spell[]

Margo Stillman said she casted an anti-orb spell to prevent Paige from orbing. That way, Paige couldn't show Chris that she was half Whitelighter, and that she and her sisters were thus the real Charmed Ones.

Potions[]

Teleportation SprayPotion

The Stillman sisters spraying the potions on themselves.

  • Teleportation Potion - A potion created by the Stillman Sisters to teleport, as they didn't have a teleportation power. They kept their potion in perfume bottles, and sprayed it on themselves if they wanted to teleport.

Powers[]

  • Shapeshifting: Used by the Stillman Sisters to shapeshift into the Charmed Ones.
  • Empathy: Phoebe felt the new bartender was checking out Piper and that Jason was sexually attracted to her at the Bay Mirror. Mitzy felt her sisters' emotions.
  • Orbing: Type of Teleportation used by Chris, Leo and Paige.
  • Hyper Speed: Used by the Gremlins to move faster.
  • Super Strength: Used by a Gremlin to push on to crates of boxed oranges.
  • Apportation: Used by Mabel Stillman to apport an athame and a dagger.
  • Molecular Immobilization: Used by Piper to freeze Ray, P3's doorman. She also tried to freeze the Stillman sisters, but it failed because they were extracting their powers. Later on, Mabel Stillman froze Piper and her sisters before they could attack them.
  • Molecular Combustion: Used by Mabel Stillman to attack the Charmed Ones, but she always missed.
  • Levitation: Used by Mitzy Stillman to levitate to attack Phoebe.
  • Premonition: Mitzy Stillman got a premonition in which she saw the Charmed Ones would come to the Manor at midnight.

Artifacts[]

  • Scrying Crystal - A magical pendant used for scrying. Mitzy Stillman used it to scry for witches to find Piper, Phoebe and Paige, but it failed because the sisters weren't witches anymore.
  • Book of Shadows - The Halliwell Family's magical tome. In addition to spells and potion recipes, the Book of Shadows contains information on warlocks, demons, and other supernatural beings. It was created by their ancestor, Melinda Warren and was passed down every generation.
  • Demonic Leftovers - Several weapons which were left by vanquished demons, but Mabel Stillman froze Phoebe, Paige and Piper plus the weapons as they used them to attack the Stillman sisters.

Notes and Trivia[]

604

WB's promo

  • This episode's title is an obvious reference to The Power of Three.
  • The WB Promo title for this episode is Dirty Blondes.
  • Mitzy says that they are "Charmed and dangerous", an allusion to the episode of the same name.
  • The plot of this episode, three women impersonating the sisters to gain the Power of Three is later repeated in "Repo Manor".
  • Jenny McCarthy, who plays Mitzy Stillman, had a small role on the movie Scream 3 and her character in the movie was also auditioned for by Shannen Doherty and Charisma Carpenter.
  • Mabel was unable to freeze anything until she got scared; this is similar to how Piper originally triggered her freezing power.
  • When the Stillman sisters fight with each other, the triquetra on the cover of the Book of Shadows splits, as it did in "Power Outage".
  • Piper loses her powers for the twelfth time and Phoebe for the tenth time in this episode. Paige also loses the telekinetic part of her power again and has her orbing power stopped.
  • This episode contained many hints toward Chris' identity. He provoked the Stillmans into a catfight, as he likely knew his mother and aunts' powers were tied to their bond as sisters. He was also clearly freaked out when "Phoebe" and "Paige" were hitting on him and made a remark about knowing the sisters his whole life.
  • Piper does not use her Molecular Combustion power, Phoebe does not use her Premonition or Levitation powers and Paige does not use her Telekinetic Orbing power.

Continuity Errors[]

  • Piper and Leo's wedding picture is in a different place than the one with Mabel and Leo and the picture with all three sisters is in a different place as well.
  • Piper's leg is severely injured when Mabel blasts her into the wall. However, when the sisters return to the manor, Piper is able to run and she's wearing the same pants as before, with no trace of blood.
  • In the attic, when Mabel freezes the sisters, Phoebe's earrings still move.
  • When Mabel freezes the room, Phoebe is in a different position than before.
  • When the Stillman sisters are talking about who gets which powers, Margo had her hand by her side, but in the next shot, when she talks about Mitzy's attitude, she has her hand on her shoulder.
Charmedglit

On the right you can see Jennifer's stunt double.

  • During the scene when Paige goes to the citrus plant during the labor rally, her pink blouse is quite short, baring her entire midriff. When the security guard throws Paige out of the plant, Rose McGowan's stunt double is wearing a shirt in the same pink color, but it reaches all the way down to her waistline.
  • When Phoebe kicks Mabel after the Stillman sisters have taken the Charmed Ones' powers, Jennifer Sky's stunt double's face can be seen, and also her hair is darker and less full.
    • In the same scene, Alyssa Milano's stunt double is missing Alyssa's tattoos.
  • When Phoebe is thrown out of the Bay Mirror office by a security guard, Alyssa Milano's stunt double's face is digitally blurred.
  • When the Stillman Sisters first walk into the attic, Phoebe and Paige are facing towards each other in front of the door. At the next scene when Mabel froze the scene, Phoebe and Paige are facing more towards the inside of the attic.
  • In "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans", the Charmed Ones were immune to the freezing power because good witches don't freeze, but in this episode, they were able to be frozen despite their powers being stolen through the same spell.
  • Unlike in season 3, the points of the triquetra left the book's cover in this episode, while previously the points just separated.
  • The "To Separate a Witch from Her Powers" spell is used in this episode like in "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans", but in this episode, the required potion is not used.
