    • Why is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz even included in an episode about fairy tales? Fairy tales are a subcategory of folklore. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a piece of 20th century fiction written by L. Frank Baum; it's not folklore in the slightest, so it should not be included as one of the fairy tales.
    • When Piper and Grams are talking before they go up to the attic, we can see clearly after Grams that the coffin where Paige lies is over a trolley. You can clearly see the wheels on the bottom of the table!
    • TRIVIA: When Leo talks about The Evil Enchantress he is talking about the season 4 episode A Knight to Remember where Paige realizes that a fairy tale about an evil enchantress is in fact a memory of her past life.
    • When Phoebe gets into the vehicle in the street, she and Paige continue talking rather loudly, talking about orbing and other witch things. Seconds later it's shown that the whole street is filled with a lot of people. So no one saw the blue field that threw Paige to the ground? And they both didn't care about people hearing what they said?
    • When the axeman is summoned by the evil witch, he left the room walking. Later he appears walking in the manor too. If the fairy tales' place is in a mountain as we see in the very fist image, it doesn't make any sense that he left walking? He should have been teleported by the Evil Enchantress.
    • In the first scene Piper and Paige are talking and Piper has the fairy tales' book in her hands. When the camera shows Paige, Piper's hand is not in the book, but when Piper is shown, her hand is in the book.
    • Phoebe mentions how her favourite fairy tale is Cinderella, we learn this in "The Three Faces of Phoebe", which may be where Cole knows it from as Phoebe mentions "Cole knows it's my favourite".
    • When Phoebe first shows the glass slippers to Piper and Grams in the shoebox, the shoes are completely clear and have no label. As Phoebe is putting the shoes on, a designer label and a silver lining can be seen.
    • Piper puts on the red hood before entering the portal, but it can still be seen under the storybook as she enters.
    • TRIVIA: The Keeper's apprentice is played by Charlie Shanian, who later married producer Aaron Spelling's daughter, Tori Spelling.
    • When Phoebe can't get the slippers off why doesn't Paige orb them to her?
    • TRIVIA: In this episode Piper was turned into Little Red Riding Hood, Paige was Snow White, and Phoebe was Cinderella.
    • When the keeper presents the ruby slippers to Piper, they appear to be red satin with red sparkles at the toe, but when she appears in them at the manor, they are completely covered in sparkles and have a strap across the front of her foot.
    • TRIVIA: When Piper is to return home from the fortress, the apprentice reveals a pair of ruby slippers - a reference to the Wizard of Oz film. However in the original book series the slippers were silver - the movie studio, MGM changed them from silver to ruby only to bring the color out more.
    • TRIVIA: After being attacked by the axeman, Piper's baby heals her again.
    • After Paige turns into Snow White and drops down to the floor dead, you can hear her let out a heavy breath, whilst on the floor.
    • Didn't the woodsman decide that he couldn't attack Snow White, at the last minute, and give a pig heart to the evil witch? If they're supposed to act like the way they're written, shouldn't he have changed his mind about attacking Paige also?
    • When Phoebe bumped into Adam at the Bay Mirror, she spilled coffee on her shirt but in the different shots of the scene, the coffee stain kept disappearing.
    • When Paige and Grams are in the kitchen together doing that potion, look at Paige's left shoulder, her top is on her shoulder, then when she moves over towards the glass cabinet, her top is below her left shoulder, then when she goes and stands next to Grams, it's on her left shoulder, then it changes again, and there was no sign of Paige pulling her top up or down, on or below her shoulder.

    • Cole: Leo, he's evil. Leo: Oh really. Then what are you?
    • (Grams is on her way to the nursery with Piper and Leo when Paige enters) Paige: Oh, my goodness, don't tell me you're already interviewing nannies. Grams: Paige. You're even more beautiful than I imagined. Paige: And you are? Grams: Why, I'm your Grams of course. Come here. (hugs Paige) Piper: (aside to Leo) Quick, go clean up the nursery. (Leo rushes off.) Paige: No offense, but, uh, aren't you supposed to be dead? Grams: Oh, I'm over that.

    • To get home from the fairy tale land, the new Keeper gives Piper a set of ruby slippers. This is another reference to the story of the Wizard of Oz. In the story and film, Dorothy just has to click the heels of her ruby slippers together to return home.
    • Phoebe: These boots maybe are made for walking...
      This is a reference to the famous song These Boots Are made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra.
    • Title: Happily Ever After
      This phrase commonly ends fairy tales, it is usually used in the context that the good characters in the tale lived happily for the remainder of their lives.
    • Evil Witch: I'm melting... I'm melting... I'm melting
      This is a reference to the 1939 MGM movie from Warner Brothers The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch of the West screams and moans, "I'm melting...I'm melting...I'm melting!" after Dorothy throws water on her.
    • Phoebe: Hey, I'm walking here!
      Phoebe is forced to walk in front of a cab because of the glass slippers she is wearing. A taxi cab stops short of hitting her and Paige. She slams her hand on the hood of the car and yells, "Hey, I'm walking here!" This is the memorable line that Dustin Hoffman (as Enrico Salvatore 'Ratso' Rizzo) used in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. This was also parodied in the film Back to the Future, Part II, where Marty McFly's son does the same thing but in the year 2015. In the 1994 movie Forrest Gump, the line is also used when the character Lieutenant Dan, interestingly enough sitting in a wheelchair (and thus not walking), yells it at a cab driver.
