## References to the Original Charmed

* Maggie and Kaela traveled to 1926. In the original series, Phoebe Halliwell swapped bodies with her past life incarnation who died in 1924.

* Maggie and Kaela met a muse in this episode. Muses in the original series were invisible, intangible spirits who inspired creativity in their charges.
* Mel and the patrons of the Blue Camellia are held hostage by Donnie. In the original series, Paige was held hostage in a bank and was unable to use magic due to being in front of hostages.
	+ However, she was able to discreetly orb to her sisters to tell them about the danger she was in when she asked the robber to use the ladies' room.
* After being sent back in the past, Kaela creates a painting, to send a message through time, to Mel. In the original series, after Chris was transported to the future, the sisters wrote a spell for him, to receive, which they placed underneath the floorboard in the attic.
* Kaela and Maggie bring back Egyptian Nightshade with them, from the past. In the original series, Nightshade was a common ingredient for potions.
