Writers:: Curtis Kheel

Director:: John T. Kretchmer

Stars:: Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell); Drew Fuller (Chris Perry (Season 6)); Rose McGowan (Paige Matthews (Season 4+)); Brian Krause (Leo Wyatt (Season 2+)); Alyssa Milano (Phoebe Halliwell)

Recurring Role:: Balthazar Getty (Richard Montana); Amanda Sickler (Sophie)

When Chris holds out his hand for the bottle while on the floor, the book is open next to him and it's a blank page, then when the camera switches to the bottle flying off and they show Chris again a second later, the book is now open on Bosk's entry. edit »
The Arabic inscription on the Genie bottle can be translated like this:
From right to left: "20- DON'T" (Upside-down) �"BE SAD GOD IS WITH YOU." It doesn't have anything to do with what Leo said. Also, those few words can't possibly measure up with the two sentences "read" by Leo. edit »
In this episode it is said that the only way a genie can be freed is for the master to wish it free and then they become the genie. Yet in the season 2 episode Prue wishes the Genie free and does not have to switch places. Which could be possibly be explained by Jinny's curse however in this episode when Phoebe became the Genie she had to listen to Chris when he ordered her into the bottle. But in the season 2 episode The Genie would not listen to Phoebe when she tried to make him leave her alone. In fact once released he pretty much did whatever and went wherever he wanted. edit »
TRIVIA: This is the second of two times the sisters come across a genie. The first time was the season 2 episode Be Careful What You Witch For. edit »
TRIVIA: In this episode Paige is given jewelery (earrings and a necklace) by Richard, via magic. This is the same exact jewelery that alternate Pheobe is wearing in the season 5 episode "Centennial Charmed". edit »

Leo (trying to write an apology letter to Chris while under the influence of the genie's spell): But after everything I've put you through, I feel like I owe it to you.
Chris (with bitterness): Honestly, a letter's not going to mean a hell of a lot to me. I got plenty of them growing up.
Leo: Sorry?
Chris: Uh, from my father. He wasn't around much. edit »
Chris (exasperated): Look, I'm running out of time here, so what do you say we get to use that genie to make mom and dad... you know...
Phoebe: That's vile, and against the rules. I would think that you wouldn't wanna be conceived that way.
Chris: Well, it beats not being conceived at all. edit »
Ghost Phoebe: Hey, Chris. We're not moving on.
Ghost Paige: Why aren't we moving on?
Chris: Who cares? You're still here.
Ghost Paige: Got any unfinished business?
Ghost Phoebe: No, you?
Ghost Paige: Yeah, now that you mention it, it would've been nice to find out I had another NEPHEW�before I died! edit »
Richard: I've got a book of wishes around here somewhere.
Genie Phoebe: Wishes?
Richard (as he searches the drawers): Yep. Gotta get the wording right.
Genie Phoebe: Yeah, maybe you should just wish for sleep, because I'm really good at that wish! edit »
Genie Phoebe: I do believe the element of surprise is very important here.
Chris: You sure? Because we could always take our time with this plan, you know, keep Piper around just a little bit longer?
Genie Phoebe: Yes, master.
Chris: Good. I'm glad you agree.
Genie Phoebe: A-actually I d-I don't agree, but I ca-I can't� (frustrated) How am I supposed to take charge and take commands all at the same time?! edit »

Piper: We need to stop her!
Phoebe: We already did, while you were sleeping.

"While You Were Sleeping" is a 1995 film starring Sandra Bullock. edit »
Phoebe: I didn't hit on you, did I?

This is a reference to the episode "Oh My Goddess, Part 2". While Phoebe was infused with Aphrodite's powers, she made a pass at a younger elder and Chris. edit »
Paige: Don't you need to go help Major Nelson?

This is a reference to the 1960's TV series I Dream of Jeannie, about a US Military Major, and his Genie named Jeannie. edit »
