Magical Beings

 * Lady Godiva - a woman of the 11th century who came up for the people who suffered under the taxation of her husband. He told her he would grant her request to remit the tolls if she would ride naked through the streets of their city and so she did. She was conjured to Magic School by Duncan.


 * Lord Dyson - an evil demon who was a land baron in the time of Lady Godiva. He feeds on people's repressed emotions. Together with Lady Godiva, he was conjured to Magic School.


 * Duncan - a Magic School student who conjured Lady Godiva and Lord Dyson.


 * Odin - an Elder. Paige convinced him to keep Magic School open.


 * Sandra - an Elder. She talked with Leo on the Golden Gate Bridge about Zola's death.

Mortals

 * Leslie St. Claire - the ghostwriter, hired to write Phoebe's column while she was taking her sabbatical. Phoebe wrote him a letter about breast feeding and tried to convince him to pick it.

Notes and Trivia

 * Holly Marie Combs breaks the fourth wall by saying, "Lady keep your clothes on. This is a family show. Really."Lady Godiva Promo.jpg
 * The spell Duncan uses to send Lady Godiva back to her time is almost exactly the same as the spell used in "That '70s Episode" to return Prue, Piper and Phoebe to their time.
 * Phoebe says to Lady Godiva "Thank you... for showing us you're more than a box of chocolates". This is a reference to the gourmet chocolate, which the name "Godiva" is more associated with, rather than the legend.
 * This is the fourth and last time that Alyssa Milano wore a blonde wig. First, as Aphrodite in "Oh My Goddess! Part 2," then as the Genie in the episode "I Dream of Phoebe" and the third time, while disguised as a Demonatrix, in the episode "A Wrong Day's Journey Into Right." It's however her fifth time being blonde on the show. The first time was when she had her hair colored blonde for the whole third season.
 * When Leslie first sees the Manor, he tells Phoebe that the paper must pay better than he thought. That is the same thing Jack said to Prue when he first saw the manor in the season 2 episode "That Old Black Magic", and Jason to Phoebe when he first saw the manor.
 * Paige officially becomes the headmistress of Magic School, which is what Phoebe saw in her vision quest in "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell."thumb|300px|right|The Bare Witch Project WB Trailer
 * In the WB trailer for this episode, the narrator says "Something naked this way comes' which is a obvious reference to the show's pilot "Something Wicca This Way Comes."
 * It is the first time that Piper uses Molecular Combustion to deflect a Fireball back to the enemy.
 * In this alternate universe, Phoebe is married to Leslie and has children with him. While Phoebe was at the Bay Mirror, he asks her, "Who's watching our children? Why aren't you home with them?".
 * This episode marks the first appearances of Odin and Sandra, two Elders who are featured prominently in this season and the next (in Sandra's case).
 * Wyatt's Orbing power has grown since last season, as he can now orb down to the Underworld, taking his mother and baby brother with him. Previously he has only been shown orbing one other person and Gideon mentioned that he was unable to orbs out of the Underworld when he was trying to kill him.
 * This episode scored 4.8 million viewers.
 * Even if the girls had changed history, it is highly unlikely that Phoebe would be married to Leslie seeing as how the only reason they met is because she worked at the The Bay Mirror and in the changed future she wouldn't have worked at the The Bay Mirror.  Also, Phoebe and Leslie just met, therefore, it is very unlikely that they would have been married with children for years.

Glitches

 * When Phoebe and Piper walk into the Manor (after they were at the Cafe), Piper leaves Chris and Wyatt in the Parlor alone in the push-chair whilst she goes to the kitchen.
 * Paige states in the start of the episode to Odin that Piper and Phoebe learned their magic from their mother and grandmother. But this is wrong since they learned their magic without help. However, Patty and Penny did teach the sisters some magic from the spirit world. Likewise, they contributed majorly to the Book of Shadows, from which the Sisters learn most of their magic.
