Quotes

Piper: No, you shouldnt do that.
Natale: I'm happy for your concern.
Piper: My concern is not for you. (edit)
Prue: Tell me again why we're doing this?
Piper: Because one bad word from General Goody-Two-Shoes, and I'm not getting married. (edit)
Phoebe: I couldn't kill him, Leo…All I know is that I loved Cole. And if anyone understands forbidden love it's you, isn't it?
Leo: Oh my God, Phoebe, it's not even close to being the same thing. He is a demon.
Phoebe: He's half-human.
Leo: For God's sakes, he's a killer. He has killed witches and innocents and anything else that has gotten in his way. What is the matter with you? What makes you think that he's not going to come back here right now and try and kill all three of you?
Phoebe: He won't. I know he's good.
Leo: No, you hope that he's good. (edit)
Leo: Piper, what are you doing?
Piper: Getting irritated. Who put Lady Attitude in charge?
Leo: She's not in charge.
Piper: Really? 'Cause she's acting like it. I thought Whitelighters were supposed to guide, not dictate. (edit)
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe:
Time for amends and a victims revenge,
Cloning power turned sour,
Power to change turned to strange,
I'm rejectin' your deflection (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Piper and Leo are at the table and Natalie orbs in Leo says "Natalie!" while the orbs were still around her body and she was all white. How would he know that it was Natalie if she was all white? (edit)
TRIVIA: As of this episode, Leo and Piper are officially engaged. (edit)
When the girls are writing their spell they complain that Natalie has to approve their spells, unlike Leo. When Natalie comes over to read the spells, she only reads Phoebe's. After reading Phoebe's she gives them the go ahead to fight Eames. If she had to read the girls' spells, wouldn't she want to see Prue's and Piper's? (edit)
In the episode Phoebe has blue bracelets on her right wrist, and a ring on her 3rd finger of her right hand. When they're vanquishing Eames where the elders live, Phoebe moves her hair outta her face with her left hand and that hand has the ring and the bracelets, then it switches back to her right hand kinda thing. (edit)
When Natalie is training the sisters in the alley and Pheobe levitates, you can clearly see her shirt being pulled up from the strings that are holding her. (edit)

Allusions

Piper: We went, we saw, we didn't quite conquer.

This is a play on the famous phrase quoted by Julius Caesar, "He came, he saw, he conquered". (edit)
Eames tells the stabbed witch in the park that he wants a few good whitelighters.

This is a reference to the saying used for the military and the title of the 1991 movie A Few Good Men, starring Tom Cruise. (edit)
Title: Blinded By The Whitelighter

This is a reference to the phrase "blinded by the light", which was also a 1973 Bruce Springsteen song. (edit)
