When the warlock stabs the woman at the cafe, it seems odd that Piper didn't just keep her frozen after they killed the warlock. That would have given them enough time to call Leo to heal her and save her life. Piper did this with Cole in Charmed Again Part 2 after the Source stabbed him.
When Piper says that she and Leo want to move out now that they are married, Phoebe has a fit and does everything she can to talk her out of it. However, in season 2, when Piper considered moving in with Dan who she had only been dating for a little over a month, Phoebe was supportive (though she admitted after that she didn't want her to). Granted, Dan only lived next door but Leo was only an orb away, so shouldn't she have been a little more supportive (or at least pretended)of Piper wanting to move with Leo her husband and their Whitelighter than of Dan, a new boyfriend who was clueless of the magic and would've been harder to explain constant absences to?
When Piper is telling Leo about finding the ingrediants that would have stripped her and her sisters powers, she says "that if Grams was willing to strip their powers to keep them together then...". Why would Piper assume that was the motive behind Grams decision? Aside from the fact that it was three years after that fact that she was discovering it, we are the ones who were seeing the past events, not them! And even if Piper was able to clearly remember the events, the reason behind Grams wanting to do that was not that she wanted to keep them togethor. It was because Grams felt the sisters were not close enough to handle the obligations and pressures of becoming the Charmed ones! Which should have been the only theory Piper came up with, since what she said made no sense!
When Phoebe kills the warlock in the kitchen after they agree not to, she apologizes and blames her self-preservational instincts and gut reaction. What she should have said was that when she kicked him over the counter he landed on a knife that she did not know was there, because that's what actually happened!
TRIVIA: When Piper and Leo tell Phoebe and Prue that they have managed things without Piper they mention Hawaii, which refers to the episode The Power of Two, and when she went away with Leo, which was for a month between season two and three.
In the past when Piper and Leo brush past each other Leo orbs out in the middle of street. Shouldn't he be worried about exposure?
In this episode, the girls refer to Kit the cat as a 'he', yet it's later stated in season 5 that Kit is a 'she'.
In a flashback when Grams is performing a seance for Patty, her ghost comes back - however, the fifth candle that Grams is trying to light doesn't, so how does Patty come back?
During one of the flashbacks, when Grams is in the attic she puts the Book of Shadows in the crate, which is to the right of the attic door. After leaving the attic she locks the door, falls down the stairs and dies. Yet in the first episode of the series "Something Wicca This Way Comes" when Phoebe goes into the attic, the crate with the Book is just below the window, in front of the door. No one had entered the attic until then, as Piper said that they hadn't been able to get into the attic since Grams died.
In the kitchen, after Phoebe kicked him across the table, the warlock died because he fell on a knife. When he disappears the knife is pointing straight up and there is only blood halfway down the blade. If he was lying flat on the ground wouldn't the blade be bloodier? Also warlocks aren't supposed to bleed.
TRIVIA: The spell used by the sisters to call the spirit of Ariel is the same one used by Phoebe in "Trial By Magic" to call the spirit of Angela, the murder victim. Instead of "unknown spirit" she used "spirit Angela".
Phoebe says that after finding out they were up against a familiar-turned-warlock that she'd never be able to look at Kit in the same way, or get undressed in front of him. Stating that Kit is a boy is just incorrect since in the season 1 episode Dream Sorcerer the attraction spell Phoebe and Piper cast gave Kit the attention of some male tom-cats and in the season 5 episode Cat House it was established that Kit is a girl and was their familiar, as she came back as a woman.
When the warlock appears to Piper by her car, wouldn't anyone in the public have seen Piper Levitate 6 ft In the air?
TRIVIA: Piper meets Leo for the first time during one of the flashbacks, when he bumps into her on the sidewalk.
TRIVIA: It is learned that Piper used to be a banker before she applied to be a chef at Quake.
A pesky wisp of hair on Piper's left side appears and disappears as she talks to Leo while sitting on the tailgate of the car.
Grams: Who are we to decide that they're witches? Patty: Who are we decide that they're not?
(The Police show up at the front door with Phoebe) Officer: Penny Halliwell? Grams: Can I find out what she did before I answer that?
Phoebe: Here, they're just a little bit out of my budget. Salesman: But they're... Phoebe: Perfect! I know... and all of these would have been perfect too... (Hands the salesman a stack of other shoes she had tried on)
Phoebe: Hey! I hear spikes are making a comeback! (Throws a spike-heeled shoe at Shadow)
Piper: You're not mad at me are you? Leo: Not if we can hire movers to move this stuff back into the house.
Phoebe: Wait a minute...life altering plans cannot be discussed over pass-the-newspaper and who ate the Special K!
Flashback Phoebe: And why would I spend my time on a wimp who's got mother issues? Flashback Prue: I don't know. But why should I believe anything that you say? I mean, you don't even know the difference between what belongs to you and what belongs to, oh, let's say Macy's. Flaskback Piper: Alrighty then. Are we done?
Piper: No, have you seen the way out? Prue: I knocked, didn't I? Piper: But you didn't wait for an answer. Prue: Oh, right, God, I'm really sorry. Look at me. Look at me leaving. I'm leaving.
Piper: You know, this trunk would go great at the foot of our bed. Prue: Yeah, and my foot would look great on your butt. You are so not taking that, okay?
Warlock: I was beginning to think you were trying to avoid me. Prue: Wow, you've been thinking. That's a pretty big step for a warlock.
Ariel: When someone is taken from you so suddenly, there are no goodbyes.
Phoebe: Saved by the meow! You know, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at Kit in the same way or get undressed in front of him, for that matter.
Phoebe (about a warlock): That's not what I meant! Death isn't brief, it's permanent and he gets to cheat it, not once but nine times! Piper: Yeah! Cheaters aren't meant to prosper!
Phoebe: (Singing) I've been working on a vanquish!
Phoebe: So why bother us? Why not just jump in front of nine buses?
Phoebe: Well, if so I got the runt. Bad teeth, funky clothes and way easy to kill. Prue: Black hair? Piper: Bad breath? Phoebe: You know him? Prue: Uh, I think I killed him. A warlock appears. Warlock: Care to try again ?
Prue walks into Piper's bedroom and in on Piper & Leo. Piper: Heya, Prue, are you lost? Prue: Uh, no, but my keys are.
Shadow: Wait a minute; do you think I am an idiot? You have something up your sleeve. Phoebe: Hello, sleeveless!
Phoebe: We can't be together forever. Piper: Yeah, but it feels good that forever isn't today.
Prue: It'll be just like having your own place. Phoebe: Except with your sisters right down the hall!
Piper: When Prue, Phoebe, and I moved back in together, we became sisters again. And I don't think that it's time to test that.
Piper: Sharp painful implement? Prue: Check. Phoebe: Ooh! Nice choice.
Flashback Phoebe: I'm not sure what my future holds, but it's not in San Francisco. The only thing I add to this threesome is trouble.
Piper (after vanquishing a warlock): Was that for good? Prue: Well, if it wasn't he's really gonna miss his ear, 'cause it looks like part of it's dripping off the clock. Piper: Yuck.
Piper: So what is our level of confidence in this plan? Phoebe: Well, on a scale from one to ten, ten being we whoop ass, one being he laughs at us while we're on fire and naked... Piper: Maybe you should lie to me.
Phoebe: Oops. I think I just killed the warlock again. Prue scoffs. Piper: Phoebe!
Piper and Leo are in the shower together. Piper: See, we finally found a place where we can be alone. Leo: Yeah, this is perfect. Now all we have to do is move all our stuff in here and nobody will bother us.
Grams: Is it too much for an old lady to ask her granddaughters to retract their claws, stand still and look at me long enough to take one lousy picture?
Prue: Because we must be the only ones strong enough to kill him. Piper: And he knew where to find us. What are we in the Warlock's Guide to San Fransico?
Piper: Something to bring a bit of Grams to my place. Prue: Alright sweetie. Hey, can we contact the dead now?
Piper: You know, I don't wanna be one of those old married lepers that nobody thinks if fun anymore. Prue: You've never been fun, Piper. Piper: I've always been fun, Prue. I am just Mrs. Fun now. Prue: Oh, Mrs. Fun.
