Trivia:

Most of the ideas expressed by the witch ('Tamzin Dove') aren't representative of the actual religion of Wicca. Harmful magic is against the moral code of Wicca.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: The automobiles are driving on the wrong side of the road. During the driving scene to the witch's house, the team is driving on the left side of the street, as opposed to the right side of the street. Thus, showing that it was not taped in California.

Quotes:

Kendall Cho: Look a goat. Goats are signs of Satan.
Teresa Lisbon: So Petting Zoos are like gateways to Hell?
Kendall Cho: Pretty much.
