Magical Notes[]
Book of Shadows[]
- To Erase a Memory is before the page on Troxa.
- Belthazor is before the Hand of Fatima.
Troxa[]
- This Invisible Demon has the ability to
- attack unsuspecting victims and escape without
- detection. Although his power prevents the naked
- eye from seeing him, his being is still corporeal;
- therefore, he cannot pass through objects or walls.
- Troxa's one Weakness is that
- his ectoplasmic biochemistry is sensitive to
- cold. When he encounters cold temperatures
- he may become partially visible.
- This vulnerability can be used to defeat him.
Belthazor[]
- Beware of this Demonic
- Soldier of Fortune. Both powerful and
- dangerous, he has destroyed countless
- witches, innocents, and demons.
- As sinister as he
- is intelligent, he is not to be trusted,
- Belthazor's known abilities include
- throwing energy balls and shimmering
- from place to place, but his powers are
- probably not limited to these capabilities.
- Because there is no known way to defeat him,
- Belthazor should be avoided at all costs.
Spells[]
- Prue casts a spell using siderite crystals around the Book of Shadows, forming a Crystal Cage. (unseen)
Powers[]
- Telekinesis: Used by Prue to throw Abbey out of the Manor window. She later used it to smack away a pillow Troxa held to her face and to swat Troxa. After being kidnapped by Abbey, she used it to untie her ropes, to throw Abbey against a wall and to throw a bookshelf and several objects in the basement onto her. She flung Abbey again, onto a kitchen wall cabinet, knocking her out.
- Orbing: Type of teleportation used by Leo.
- Shimmering: Type of teleportation used by Cole.
- Summoning: Used by the Triad to summon Cole to their lair.
- Invisibility: Used by Trox to make himself invisible.
- The Triad used a power to vanquish Troxa.
- Premonition: Phoebe had a premonition of Abbey shooting Prue to death at the manor kitchen.
- Astral Projection: Used by Prue to distract Abbey.
- Molecular Immobilization: Used by Piper to freeze Abbey and the bullet.
Artifacts[]
Notes and Trivia[]
- Prue's notes states Javna is a Level 1 demon.
- Phoebe does not use her Levitation power.
- This is the first episode where Prue has doubts about Cole. She thinks that he could be a demon.
- The shirt that Abbey put on in the basement was the shirt that Prue wore in "Be Careful What You Witch For".
- Phoebe kisses Cole for the first time in this episode.
- The original airdate of this episode is November 2, 2000, which, according to the Halliwell's family tree, is Phoebe's birthday.
- Prue's pride, or arrogance, is what leads to her downfall. In "Sin Francisco", Prue becomes infected with Pride, one of the seven deadly sins.
- Prue was able to untie herself without looking at the rope. She also had sent Abbey flying with a squint of her eyes.
- This is the last time Prue channels her telekinesis through her eyes.
- This is the first instance where one of the sisters uses a Crystal Cage to trap a demon.
- When Abbey shoots at Prue while she is in her astral form, bullets go through her. We can assume her astral body can't be hurt by any human weapon.
Cultural References[]
- The title is based on the phrase "sight unseen" which means 'without previous inspection'.
Continuity Errors[]
- When Piper freezes Abbey the first time, the camera points to Abbey and the gun is straight, whereas the second time it is pointed downwards.
