In the opening scene, Paige orbs a diaper over to the bin and drops it in. However, while the diaper disappears and reappears in the normal way, the bin lid opens and shuts without orbing. Given that Paige does not have the power to move objects without orbing them, how does she do this? edit »
Phoebe gives multiple people advice everyday, so how can Paige remember what Phoebe wrote a year ago? edit »
Barbas has been around for 1000s of years, so why is it that Zola didn't know who he was? edit »
When Piper loses the four extra arms, the top she's wearing clearly doesn't have openings for any extra arms. How did she wear it while she was possessed? edit »

Phoebe: Are you following me?
Sheridan: Yes I am. edit »
Leo: I killed another elder.
Piper: It's not your fault - you were tricked.
Leo: Was I? What have I become?
Piper: Shhh. Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Nobody else has to know. edit »
Piper: Hi, personal gain. Do you want to lose your powers like Phoebe did? What if a demon attacks?
Paige: Could liven things up around here.
Piper: Excuse me? edit »
(Paige, Wyatt and baby Chris are in the kitchen. Baby Chris cries while Paige changes him, and Wyatt sits in a high chair throwing food)
Paige: Help! Somebody help! Please?
(Piper walks in)
Piper: Alright, alright, relax. I'm back. (She walks over to Wyatt and sees the mess) What is this? How's his rash, does he need ointment?
Paige: I don't know, I've been kind of procrastinating on that one. It's not my favorite thing to check.
Piper: Why? You don't have a problem checking Wyatt.
Paige: Yeah, that's 'cause I don't flash forward to Wyatt being twenty-two like you do with Chris.
Piper: Oh, yeah, eww. edit »
Phoebe (reading from the Book of Shadows): Shakti, also called the ultimate mother, and Shiva together created all things and if they consumate their love again all things will be obliterated and the universe will be reborn.
Paige: Talk about your big bang theory. edit »
