to summon a witch doctor:

Free us from the ties that bind,

he who's to the dark injured

Let the object of objection return 
so its existence may be reaffirmed

Trivia: The original title was "House call".

Phoebe's photo layout and article was in the magazine 415, which was the magazine that Prue worked for in Seasons 2 and 3.

The sisters' obsessions are as follows:
Piper: to get and keep the house clean for her baby's pending arrival
Phoebe: to have Spencer Ricks, her advist columnist rival, treat her with respect
Paige: to get Glen back before he marries another woman

Paige for the first time uses her whitelighter-side ability to morph into looking like other people.

Piper: (to Paige, as she's leaving to see Glen) "Alright, Sally, go meet Harry."
Meaning:
Reference to the movie "When Harry Met Sally".

Paige: (sees the ruined TV after the witch doctor has cleansed the house) "Hmm, guess I'm not watching 'The Osbournes' tonight."
Meaning:
Refers to MTV's series "The Osbournes".
