TRIVIA: Brody's parents are killed by three demons. The demon in the center is a celerity demon named Aku. Aku was the master from the episode Someone to Witch Over Me who was killed by his apprentice, Sarpedon, after he stole Paige's guardian.
-
Little Kyle has blue eyes but the adult one has brown.
-
After Zankou's failed attack on Piper and Phoebe Leo orbs back in and walks Piper to the stairs, in front of a mirror. Just as he's saying, "I did. We need to talk", one of the production crew's reflection is visible.
-
When Zankou and The Elders are talking at the Golden Gate Bridge, at one point Zankou moves and part of his head is cut for a brief moment. This indicates that the shots with The Elders and the shots of Zankou were filmed separately and were later merged together to be one scene.
-
Denise says that she wants to get back at her ex husband who ran off with "his secretary". In fact, the actress who plays Denise played the secretary on Desperate Housewives, who her boss "Karl" falls in love with leaving his wife "Susan" heart-broken and their marriage destroyed.
-
When Paige is arguing with Kyle in his apartment, in the first shot, she clearly looks at the camera.
-
If Leo says that he's not an Elder anymore, then why can he still orb like Elders, instead of the shimmering in the Avatar style?
-
How exactly did Zankou arrange a meeting with the Elders? In what way was he able to contact them? And what made them respond to a call from a demon?
-
Kyle didn't see an Avatar before, so how is it that he was sure the people he saw killed his parents are demons, and not possibly Avatars?
-
When one of the demons is talking to Zankou he mentions that no one has ever killed a Charmed One, yet this isn't true. Shax was able to kill Prue who was a Charmed One.
-
In the episodes "Astral Monkey" and "Primrose Empath" it was shown that any being that possesses a power they did not develop on their own slowly goes insane. This did not happen with the two mortals who inherited Piper and Phoebe's powers.
-
TRIVIA: In this episode it's stated that Kyle was born in 1976.
-
TRIVIA: Foreshadowing - when Piper and Phoebe are searching for a spell to switch powers they lift up a couple pages and on one there is the picture of one of the demons that killed Kyle's parents.
-
When Paige and Kyle go through the portal, Kyle remains his age, plus a five year old Kyle. However, when Paige went back into the past, she became her seventeen-year-old self, so Brody should have become his five year old self, as well.
-
TRIVIA: Piper & Phoebe use the same spell to switch powers that Piper used in the season 1 episode "Love Hurts" to switch hers & Leo's powers.
-
How did two commonplace people master the powers so quickly and easily? It took the girls years. Phoebe still can't call premonitions on command all the time (and it took her several years to do it at all) only when she's meant to. Was Ronnie really meant to see the winning Craps roll?
-
Why were their powers in the air for so long? They shouldn't have floated for such a long time before they changed bodies.
-
The spell they use to switch powers has a line missing from it. They left out "let our powers cross the line" in the spell.
-
In the previous episode "Witchness Protection", Phoebe showed the Elder in Magic School that the Avatars were good by showing him the vision, so wouldn't they be happy about Leo being an Avatar?
-
How dumb are those demons? Can't they wait till everyone is sleeping before breaking in? Or at least wait till no one is holding the case?
-
How did Piper and Phoebe get to Lake Tahoe so fast without anybody to orb them? Paige was in the past, and Leo had just orbed to see the Elders.
-
When exactly did Paige learn Leo was an Avater? It must've occurred off-screen between episodes but it seems kind of foolish considering she was bound to tell Kyle.
-
Why didn't having the witches' powers drive the mortals mad like it did to Piper's doctor in season two? Leo told the sisters that it took generations for them to be able to handle their powers. Why didn't their powers destroy the mortals?
-
During the scene when Phoebe tells Ronnie that she is a witch, she speaks so loud that it's a wonder that nobody on the entire block overheard her.
-
Why exactly would Ronnie stop using magic for personal gain just because of Phoebe's vision? He doesn't know her, so why should he care about her daughter? The thing about demons not existing, he'd never seen a demon at that point, so why would he care if they existed or not?
-
In the beginning of the episode, Piper and Leo are using the same toaster that Piper blew up in the episode "Once In A Blue Moon".
-
When Phoebe and Ronnie enter, Denise freezes both of them. Either it shouldn't work on Phoebe, because she's a good witch or Ronnie, because he's got Phoebe's powers. Regardless, they shouldn't both be frozen.
