## Trivia

* Ruby returns in this episode. She was last seen in *Spectral Healing*.
* Fenric the Vile returns in this episode. He was last seen in *No Hablo Brujeria*.
* Celeste returns in this episode. She was last seen in *Triage*.
* Helen McGantry's Darklighter is mentioned. She was last seen in *Needs to Know*.
* An ancient incarnation of the Charmed Ones is revealed.

### Continuity Errors

* The episode declares that golems are beings that had not been created for thousands of years. This contradicts *Deconstructing Harry*, *The Enemy of My Frenemy* and *Someone's Going to Die* where a monitors shows that the Faction were catching golems.
* It is said that Fenric the Vile was deprived of his powers as punishment, but, in *No Hablo Brujeria*, he could use his Mind Melding on Abigael and Harry.
* When the portal opens and closes in front of Fenric's prison, it is clear that no one comes out of it, although the next second Maggie in the guise of Abigael is already at his door.
* Fenric never appears or is mentioned in the series after this episode, thus it is unknown what became of him after he obtained the magic of the Memory Mirror and exactly what his plan with it was. It seems that this side story was either forgotten about or discarded with the changes of Season 4.

## References to the Original Charmed

* Macy, Maggie, and Celeste build a golem in an attempt to stop the Perfecti. In the original series, a golem, with the appearance of a normal man, named Finn was built by a demon called the Collector in order to lure women to his house. In the comics, the Source of All Evil was resurrected as a golem.
	+ In the comic continuation, a group of demons resurrected the Source by creating a golem to be given dirt from the Ancient Burial Ground and the blood of several innocents.
* Melonie Diaz's pregnancy being written into the show mirrors how Holy Marie Combs' pregnancy was written into the original show during the sixth season, which created the character of Chris.
* Mel falls into a coma and meets her future self, who transfers her unborn baby to present-day Mel for its protection. In the original, Phoebe goes on a vision quest that sends her to the future and allows her to know that she would have a baby.
* Mel has her pregnancy, magically transferred within herself. The Seer did this, with Phoebe's baby, in the original series.
	+ Mel finds out she would become pregnant in the future. Piper found out she would have a daughter when she traveled 10 years into the future and saw her child.

## Production Notes

* The episode was watched by 0.39 million U.S. viewers.

## Quotes

**Abigael (to Maggie):** Are you pretending to be me? Not to get too touchy-feely here, but don't you think that's a bit invasive?

**Mo:** I did not see that coming.
**Macy:** Your certainty is your undoing. You lack human emotions. Fear, doubt, ambiguity.
**Maggie:** You have power without humanity. That is the ultimate chaos.
