Quotes

 * Older Phoebe: (holds up a sexy top to her body) Ah the good old days! Of course nobody&apos;s going to take you serious until you stop dressing like a tramp.


 * Phoebe: I&apos;m going to knock some sense into me!


 * Cole: Who are you?

Old Phoebe: Maybe this will refresh your memory. (she walks over and slaps him across the face) You bastard.


 * Leo (about to orb Little Phoebe to somewhere safe): Come on, take my hand. (She walks over to him) Now hold on tight.

Little Phoebe: Are we going on a plane? Leo: No, but you might see some clouds.


 * Paige: What about little Phoebe? She went back to her time with all this knowledge of the future. Won&apos;t that cause complications?

Piper: I doubt it. The minute she starts talking about magic, Grams will do some hocus pocus to erase all that knowledge. Paige: That&apos;s nice. Piper: That&apos;s Grams.


 * Paige: I did the rhyme, I will do the time.

Notes and Trivia
300px|right


 * Leo states that orbing burns a lot of calories.
 * Cinderella was Phoebe's favorite story growing up; this would be explored later, when Phoebe actually becomes Cinderella.
 * The title of the episode is a reference to the movie "The Three Faces of Eve" (1957)
 * From this episode on, Phoebe sports dark brown hair for the rest of the series, although she goes through a series of different hairstyles.
 * This is the first time that Paige consciously orbs over a distance. She thus becomes the first Charmed One to be able to teleport while not under the influence of evil magic.
 * The fact that little Phoebe time traveled, and was exposed to magic, when she was 10 may have been the reason she was quicker to embrace her Charmed destiny (compared to Prue and Piper) in the series premiere.
 * It is revealed that the Source is blocking Phoebe's premonitions about Cole.
 * The fact that Paige didn't orb Piper at first mirrors Piper's initial rejection of her at the beginning of the season.
 * Old Phoebe shows no sign of any powers or at least no advancements to active powers. This could be because present Phoebe has her powers and only one Phoebe can have her powers at a time.
 * This episode scored 4.7 million viewers.
 * Phoebe appears to have had a haircut between this episode and the last. Her hair is now shoulder length and her bangs are cut very short.
 * This is one of four episodes with "Phoebe" in the title.
 * Although this was the last chance for Cole to get saved, the Source's power might've prevented him from telling Phoebe the truth when she asked him about any held secret at the end of the episode.

Glitches

 * Present Phoebe has a tattoo on her wrist, but when future Phoebe holds the picture of Phoebe and Cole there is no tattoo on her wrist. Note: This isn't necessarily a glitch as Phoebe could've had the tattoo removed in the intervening years.
 * In the book of shadows, the Belthazor pages are in a very different order. In the episode Look Who's Barking we see the entry for "Cole's Human Side" is on the right and the info on Belthazor is on the left. Then there is a set of pages about Banshees and then a page to summon Belthazor.
