** When Penny points out that Paige is their half-sister, Patty emphasizes that it's her half, which is what matters for accessing the Power of Three. This is a very oblique reference to the episode ''When Bad Warlocks Go Good'', where the Charmed Ones' {{evil counterpart}}s included a half-sibling and had no trouble accessing their version of the Power of Three.
