[edit] Spells

Cockles, Crickets, Pig's Feet, Mandrake, Toadflax, a dash of cardamom, a pinch of carrot seeds, elm bark, Slice of demons flesh (Belthazar).
Mix the ingredients in a pot over fire with boiling water. Then add the demons flesh. Enchant with Vanquish incantation. This potion works for all upper level demons as long as you add a piece of flesh of the respective demon.

[edit] Trivia
- This episode title refers to the film Sleeping with the Enemy.
- The Charmed Ones discover that Cole is a demon in this episode.
- In the Book of Shadows under the Belthazor page, it says at the bottom to beware of this demon because there is no known way to defeat him, but on the page right next to the Belthazor page, there is a Belthazor Vanquishing Potion page.
- It is explained that Leo is only able to heal half of Cole's injuries because his healing power does not work on demons, which Cole is half of. In the episode Charmed Again (Part 2) Cole is fully healed via the Whitelighter healing power, with Paige's whitelighter half complimenting Leo's healing touch. However, this may due to the advancing of Leo's power.
- Prue and Piper create the Belthazor vanquishing potion in this episode. One of the ingredients is a Pig's foot, at which Piper says, "Poor Piggy-Piggy". Paige says the same thing when mixing the same potion in the episode Black As Cole.
- This is the first time Piper froze a being and then only unfroze its head afterward.
- Prue said she is a Scorpio in this episode. On the other hand, she also said that Piper is a Gemini, which contradicts what is said in the episode 'Pardon My Past', which indicated Piper's birthday on 07 August 1973
