If Piper couldn't touch anything in the physical world, why didn't she just walk through all the furniture instead of around it? edit »

Piper: Leo, are you okay?
Leo: I just can�t believe it. I don�t have powers anymore. I don�t hear
jingling. I can�t orb.
Piper: Is that bad?
Leo: Are you kidding? (Smiling) It�s great. It�s everything I�ve wanted ever since the day I met you.

Piper: I thought you were never going to find your way home.
Leo: It was your faith that brought me back. I could hear you calling me, like you were right there next to me.
Piper: I had a good coach (referring to Cole), an old friend. edit »
Cole (to Piper) : Look, you have someone out there who needs you as much as you need him. Now if you don't have faith in that love, it's not the only thing that'll die. edit »
Cole (to Piper): Like it or not, Phoebe and I were very much in love. edit »
Piper (about Phoebe): She didn't tell me she had a thing for Drake.
Paige: Well, I mean, she didn't tell me, either. But come on, he's...he's cute, he's funny, he's smart, and he's destined to leave. I don't know, that kind of sounds like her type to a tee. edit »

Piper falling into a coma and her spirit encountering a demon, who wishes to help her.

This episode plot is quite similar to the season 3 episode "Birthday" of the series Angel, in which Cordelia falls into a coma and her spirit meets a demon named Skip, who wishes to save her. Coincidentally, the actress who played Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) appeared in a few episodes earlier this season as The Seer. edit »
Title: The Seven Year Witch

This is a reference to the famous Marilyn Monroe film "The Seven Year Itch". edit »
Drake: The point is Leo and Piper's love, it's epic, it's massive. Like Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleapatra....Brad and Jennifer.

In early 2005, famous celebrities Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston annouced their separation after their 7 year relationship/4 year marriage. edit »
Drake: Come on, don't scry for me Argentina.

The song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is included in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Evita" which starred Madonna and was sung by her. edit »
re: Leo "falling from grace"

Leo jumping from the bridge seemed very similar to how Seth became human for Maggie in the film "City of Angels" where he jumped from a building. edit »
