Summary
| For a complete plot of They're Everywhere, go here. |
Prue and Piper give in to their fears that the men in their lives may be warlocks and cast a “Mind-Reading” spell to find out the truth. Meanwhile, a group of brain-zapping Warlocks called "the Collectors" are after Eric, who has translated ancient tablets that contain all historical events in the past and future. Eric destroys the actual stone tablets, storing the knowledge to his own mind and becoming prey to the “Collectors”, who want the power of the tablets. Using Eric’s father as bait, the "Collectors" lure Eric to them and zap Phoebe when she tries to help out. Prue and Piper use their ability to read each other's mind and trick the warlocks into zapping each other right out of existence. Luckily, Prue and Piper learn their recent flames are not warlocks, although Jack has been playing tricks on Prue with his twin brother. Piper takes a romantic leap of faith and heads off for the weekend with Dan.

Notes and Trivia
They're Everywhere WB Trailer
WB's promo
- Darryl doesn't appear in this episode.
- Prue learns that Jack Sheridan has an identical twin named Jeff.
- The location used for the convalescent hospital was also used in Season 3 as a psychiatric hospital in Primrose Empath.
- The museum used at the beginning of the episode is the same used in the movie Spiderman 1.
- After getting her memory erased, Phoebe forgot what happened in the last three weeks. She tells her sisters that the last thing she remembers was the Halloween Party. This episode was aired on November 18, 1999, that means that somewhere after The Devil's Music but before She's a Man, Baby, a Man!, the sisters either hosted or attended a Halloween party.
- When Prue and Piper cast the spell to hear people's thoughts, they briefly displayed a form of Telepathy, the first instance this power was seen on the show.
- Piper and Paige use a similar method to vanquish two members of the Triad in Engaged and Confused: Piper freezes both after one starts throwing a fireball, Paige moves the other one in front and Piper unfreezes him, causing the first Triad member to vanquish the second. The first one is vanquished by Piper afterward by blowing him up.
- While not the first time warlocks displayed Blinking powers, this is the first episode where the sisters state that Blinking is an expected power of warlocks.
- With the map destroyed and the memories of Eric and his father erased, the location of the Akashic Records was forever lost.
- This episode scored 5.6 million viewers.
- Misha Collins who plays Eric stars on the CW's Supernatural alongside Mark Sheppard who also appears on Charmed in the Witches in Tights.
Glitches
- When Piper freezes the Collector about to attack Prue from behind; when she steps away, she walks straight through the Collector's arm.
Continuity Errors
- Prue says that the Athame came from the Rowe Brothers, but that is impossible, since the athame vanished when Greg Rowe was vanquished.

- Piper: They really shouldn't have tried to give us the finger.
- (In Piper's bedroom. She's putting clothes in a bag. Prue runs in.)
- Prue: Ooh, ooh, ooh! I think Jack's a warlock.
- Piper: Who?
- Prue: Jack, uh, Jack Sheridan. The internet auction guy I met, remember. I went to go get coffee, he was standing in front of me and then I went straight to the news stand and 'wham!' he was right there reading a magazine.
- Piper: So he went from one place to another in a blink of an eye. So, you think he blinked?
- Prue: Well, yeah, that's what warlocks do, right? Where's Phoebe?
- Piper: She's volunteering at the convalescent hospital.
- Prue: Great. Wait, you have to know if there's a warlock test.
- Piper: How would I know?
- Prue: I mean, well, you are a warlock magnet.
- Piper: Am I never gonna live Jeremy down? You know, you had that Rex and Hannah thing at work.
- Prue: Okay, fine, you've got them in your love-life, I've got them at the water-cooler.

- (Prue enters.)
- Prue: Entertaining guests I see.
