For example, the nurse who took Phoebe's baby away. Phoebe thought she saw the woman's real hair color under the wig and believed it was Becca taking away the child because Teilo wanted her daughter. The fact Sam didn't believe Phoebe about her child being switched could be a testament to how good Teilo's powers are at disguising the actual truth. So Phoebe can be written off as just a woman spouting nonsense because no one else was around when she saw Becca stealing her daughter.(less)
