## Trivia

* The title of this episode is a reference to "*Guess Who's Coming to Dinner*", a 1967 American comedy-drama.
* Ray Vera is revealed to be alive in this episode. He faked his death to avoid trouble.
	+ In addition, he learns that Maggie, Mel, and Marisol were witches.
* Jordan finds out that Maggie faked her death, and follows her into the room that leads to the Command Center only to find her gone.
	+ When Jordan searches the Internet for information about Maggie Vera, he finds Instagram post published by *"hilltownekappa"* about her "death". The post was published two months ago. This means that the events of this episode take place at the end of July, two months after the Charmed Ones escaped to Seattle.
* Abigael Jameson-Caine doesn't appear in this episode, but she was seen in an archive footage.
* Marisol Vera is mentioned. She was last seen in *The Source Awakens*.
* Parker Caine is mentioned and seen in an archive footage. He was last seen in *The Rules of Engagement*.

## Answered Questions from Previous Episode(s)

* Who is the Darklighter's master?
	+ As of now, it is yet to reveal the master's identity. However, the sisters and Harry learn that Ray secretly sold Marisol's talisman after her funeral, which the culprit came into possession of.

## Unanswered Questions

* What is the destination of the talisman that Ray Vera stole after Marisol's funeral?
* Who are the mysterious customers who bought Marisol's talisman from Ray Vera?
* Would Jordan Chase learn of the existence of magic?
* What is Ray Vera hiding about his past?
* Does Julian Shea have ulterior motives?
* Where is Harry Greenwood's Darklighter hiding?

## References to the Original Charmed

* A Fury appears in this episode. In the original series, the furies were three female demons who targeted evildoers (regardless of how trivial or grand), and transformed one of the Halliwell sisters into one of them to replace the one they'd lost. They teleported in smoke and exhaled deadly smoke to kill their targets.
	+ The furies possess the power of replication, similar to the power of cloning, in the original series.
	+ The fury's replicative power is activated through physical attacks. The Ravaging Man-Beast from the novel, *Demon Doppelgangers*, could clone itself through such methods as well. Once replicated, they become immune to the attack they already experienced.
* Mel learns to harness her power to generate heat. In the comics, Piper developed the power of molecular acceleration 9 years after her powers awoke.
* Maggie learns that her power works by touching something with emotional attachment to the person, just like how Phoebe's power worked.
* Julian Shea who was introduced, shares many similarities with Jason Dean from the original series. Both are rich, work in a managerial role of one of the sisters, and both are romantically linked to said sister.
* When Ray finds out that his daughters are still alive and the Vera Manor is still standing, expressing his disbelief about all of this, it could be a nod to the fact the Halliwell Manor blew up in the penultimate episode of season 8.
* This episode deals with the complex father-daughters relationship of the Vera family, much like the original series' episode, "Thank You For Not Morphing", which dealt with the return of the Halliwell's father, after a long absence.
	+ Ray Vera returns with a magical protection totem, much like Victor in the original series, who possessed a magical protection ring.

## Production Notes

* The episode was watched by 0.65 million U.S. viewers.
* Eric Balfour joins the recurring cast starting with this episode.

## Quotes

**Maggie (to Ray):** I do remember. Looking at the stars with you. It's one of my favorite memories. It hurt so bad when you left.

**Jordan (after an online search):** Maggie Vera, you're dead.
