  • Just before the scene where Prue goes into Barbas' office, Piper and Dan are seen kissing. Take a look at Dan's digital watch. While it seems to be night outside, Dan's watch clearly reads 15:27. edit »
  • In From Fear To Eternity it was stated that Barbas could only come out every 1300 years unless he kills 13 witches. Yet he has come back only one year later even though he didn't kill 13 witches last time. edit »
  • When Jack tells Prue they are partners she asks like she still does not like him. However, she had began dating him in the previous episode when she asked him to Dinner after finding out he covered for her and specifically said that they would be mixing business with Pleasure, so why did she act annoyed that they were being partnered up? edit »
  • After Hellfire is killed, Prue says that she hasw never killed a mortal before. However, that is not exactly true. In the season one episode Dream Sorcerer, Prue kills Whittacker while dreaming in self defense. While he definitely had a talent for stalking people's dreams, it was said then he was in fact mortal and just a scientific genius. edit »
  • TRIVIA: In this episode it's revealed that brain washing is one of Barbas' powers. Previously, his powers shown were his ability to read fears, bring them to life and change his voice. In following episodes he will also project himself psychically (the form of astro projection Rex used in season 1) into his victims. edit »
  • Antonio Sabàto Jr. and Alyssa Milano both appeared on the seriesMelrose Place, but in different seasons. edit »
  • This episode scored 5.1 million viewers. edit »
  • (Reading Ms Hellfire's notebook - Prue: Telekinises, Piper: Freeze, Phoebe: Negligible)
    Phoebe: Negligible!? edit »
  • (Trying to decide on a plan to stop the hitman)
    Piper: Freeze?
    Phoebe: Kick?
    Prue: Send flying?
    Piper: Okay. edit »
  • (The sisters are hiding behind the couch, while being shot at)
    Phoebe: Since when do demons use bullets!?
    Piper: Maybe it's not a demon?
    Prue: Who else would want to kill us?
    Phoebe: You know you were a little sharp to the mailman yesterday and we all know how testy they can be. edit »
  • Phoebe (about Barbas): I never get tired of kicking his butt. edit »
  • Phoebe: Where's Prue?
    Piper: Way overdue. She's assumed the identity of the hitwoman.
    Phoebe: What?!
    Piper: Yeah, and guess what. She's got a new power. She can astral project now.
    Phoebe: Are you kidding me?
    Piper: Nope.
    Phoebe: Are you kidding me?
    Piper: No.
    Phoebe: I hate her.
    Piper: I know. edit »
  • Prue: Mmm. Not exactly Avon calling.

    This is a reference to the well known beauty & makeup company, Avon and the common greeting from its salespeople - "Avon calling". edit »

    This is a reference to the film "Mrs. Doubtfire", starring Robin Williams. edit »
