(edit)
Phoebe: That's it? That's your offer, huh? No deal. Forget it.
Sirk: In that case, I guess I'll just have to kill...
(Sirk throws a lightning bolt at Paige and she falls to the ground)
Sirk: ...her (edit) Paige: Okay fine. Piper's dead.
Phoebe: What?
Piper: I'm not dead. I'm Death. As if my life wasn't busy enough! (edit) (Piper comes in)
Piper Whoa!
Phoebe Whoa! How'd you do tha... What are you wearing?! (edit) Piper: Okay, starting to panic!
Paige: Oh no.
Piper: Oh no? What could be more "oh no" than they're taking my body away for an autopsy? (edit) Guy: Uh, forensics is done. We're gonna take the bodies if it's okay with you.
Inspector: Go ahead.
Piper (gasps): Where are they taking me?
Paige: Uh, where are you taking her?
Inspector: The morgue. After the autopsy we'll release your sister's body to you.
Piper: Oh no, no, no! They can't do that, they can't do that!
Paige: Stop yelling in my ear! No...no, you can't do an autopsy because you see, it's against our... religion! (edit)
Sirk: In that case, I guess I'll just have to kill...

TRIVIA: When Piper says to Phoebe "I'm not in the mood to lose another sister" - this is of course referring to Prue, who died in the season 3 episode All Hell Breaks Loose.
(edit)
TRIVIA: When Piper collects the old man's soul, they go to the ghostly plane, which is where Piper and Leo were trapped and conceived Chris in the season 6 episode The Courtship of Wyatt's Father.
(edit)
This is the only episode where ghosts appear in the white "moving on" clothes. The sisters have all died at least five times, but this is the only time that they've showed the ghost costumes.
(edit)
TRIVIA: Death's list contains the names of many Charmed crew members.
(edit)
If mortals aren't allowed to enter Magic School, how come Artie's wife was allowed to go in?
(edit)
When the Death fades away, the image of a skull in Death's face is shown briefly. This is a common effect used to lead the audience without them realizing it. Technically, doing this effect is a clear reference to Alfred Hitchcock as he used the same effect in the film Pyscho, in the scene where he superimposes Norman Bates' face on his mother's skull.
(edit)
Title: Styx Feet Under
The river Styx is the river that the dead must cross in Greek Mythology to reach Hades' realm of the Underworld. The ferryman Charon sees spirits across, and they must pay him with the coins that were traditionally buried with the dead. If a spirit cannot pay the ferryman, it wanders aimlessly between the worlds of the living and the dead. Also it's a reference to the HBO drama series Six Feet Under, about a family that runs a funeral home. (edit)
