(edit)
(The unicorn suddenly appears in the dining room, eating the flowers that are on the table)
Phoebe: I thought you tied her up.
Paige: I did. She eats through everything. (edit) (After Phoebe and Paige vanquished Cronyn, and Doris is with Piper, who is in labor on the stairs)
Paige: Well, is everyone okay?
Piper: I feel like I'm dying! (edit) Phoebe (about the geese): I though you said you tied them up?
Paige: I did, but the little flockers got loose.
Phoebe: Ok, we have to do better than this for Piper. I mean, if we can't keep geese away from her, how are we supposed to protect her from demons?
Paige: Ok, you're right, you're right. I think we should take turns guarding the manor. You know, who knows what kind of wierdo stuff will show up here.
(She goes into kitchen and sees a unicorn.) (edit) Cronyn: Demons stuck in the Underworld with no way up. Demons stuck upside with no way down.
Phoebe: Poor little evil creatures. (edit) Leo: Okay, uh, well it's really nothing to worry about. Uh magic has disappeared from the world and Phoebe and Paige went to have a summit meeting with evil so they can fix it. See, nothing to worry about. (edit)

TRIVIA: When Wyatt is born, the chandelier above the dining room table glows blue just like the one in the foyer did when Piper, Phoebe, and Prue became witches.
(edit)
It has been implied that the magic had died for the whole day, however, Paige orbed earlier from the Dead Sea.
(edit)
Piper's bathroom in this episode was used as a closet in the earlier season 5 episode "Y Tu Mummy Tambien".
(edit)
In this episode, the door underneath the stairs is used as a closet, but in the season 1 episode "Dead Man Dating" it is used as a bathroom.
(edit)
When Phoebe comments on the head of brown hair on the baby, Paige says "what did you expect - a blonde?" but in later episodes, baby Wyatt is indeed a blonde.
(edit)
The show Piper's watching when she's trying to relax is the NBC soap Passions, where the witch Tabitha Lennox (played by Juliet Mills) is trying to obliterate the people of Harmony, the seaside town Tabitha lives in.

Title: The Day The Magic Died
This is a reference to Don McLean's song "American Pie", where a line from the song that goes "the day the music died," refers to the February 3rd, 1959 deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (aka The Big Bopper). (edit) Phoebe: Yeah, but I liked his whole 'world without magic' speech. Very Capra.
This is a reference to the famous director Frank Capra and, indirectly, to his 1946 film "It's a Wonderful Life". (edit)
