Quotes

add »
Zahn (to Larry, after reshackling his wrists and ankles): Consider yourself repossessed! (edit)
Leo: What is that? Is that a time portal...is that what that is? What are you using it for?
Chris: I don't have to answer that.
Leo: I thought you said you had nothing to hide.
Chris: I don't have to answer that either. (edit)
Phoebe: A date? Really? Does he know about Wyatt?
Piper: No, and he's not gonna anytime soon. At least not till after the honeymoon. (edit)
Phoebe (about Spencer Ricks): Ick! Look at that pig. Eh, and I don't mean literally. At least not anymore. (edit)
Phoebe: I've surrendered to being the middle sister. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Paige arrives to the manor and passes the kitchen you can see that her eyes are clearly red because of the crying. Anyway seconds later when she is in the other room her eyes are suddenly normal and not red. (edit)
When Leo pushes Chris' head through the time portal and then back out he has a helmet on but it seems unlikely that someone from that time would have seen Chris' head hovering between realities and put a helmet on it. But how else would the helmet get there? (edit)
TRIVIA: This is the second episode that focuses on a Faustian deal made between a human and a demon. The first was Wrestling with Demons, from season 3. (edit)
When Piper goes to the sunroom and Paige follows her, she says "He sold his soul, it was his choice". How Piper could know that he has sold his soul? Paige didn't know till Larry told her just before Piper got home and Paige didn't say anything to Piper about it. (edit)
TRIVIA: In this episode, Googy Gress reprises his role as Spencer Ricks, Phoebe's advice columnist rival, from last season's episode "House Call". (edit)

Allusions

add »
Paige: What, did you make some sort of Faustian deal?

This is a reference to a German legend in which Faust, a medieval scholar makes a pact with the devil. The term "faustian" has come to denote acts or constellations involving human hubris which eventually lead to doom. (edit)
Piper asks why Phoebe is playing Solomon.

This is a reference to Solomon of the Bible. He sat in judgement and one famous decision was that of two women, who both claimed to be the mother of a baby, he determined which was the real mother. (edit)
Title: Soul Survivor

This is a reference to the term "sole survivor". (edit)
