Notes and Trivia
300px|right
 * When astral projecting by the use of a spell, one needs to be in a circle of five white candles for protection.
 * This is the first time since Prue died that Astral Projection is used on the series.
 * When Piper freezes Jackman, she moves her nose (the way Samantha does in the TV show Bewitched when using magic) to tell Phoebe that the coast is clear and she can cast the spell to astral project herself to Cole.
 * Piper says that the last person they met that could freeze time was a demon, she is probably referring to Tempus, however, it is not known if he could freeze time.
 * Together with "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World - Part 2", these are the only season finales that don't feature or mention Prue.
 * Agent Jackman owns amulets that protect against witchcraft.
 * This is the fifth episode with the word 'witch' in the title.
 * At the time of filming, there was actual construction work going on outside the Manor, since they couldn't postpone the episode, the writers incorporated the construction work into the script.
 * Although Cole returns to Earth in this episode through teleportation, he apparently returns to the Demonic Wasteland for more powers until he comes back again in the Season 5 premiere.
 * Phoebe already mentioned the "To Find a Lost Love" spell in Season 3's Wrestling With Demons.
 * Dakin Matthews, who portrays the Angel of Destiny in this episode, guest starred on the show House. In the same episode, Lori Rom also guest starred. Lori was the original Phoebe Halliwell in the Unaired Pilot.
 * This episode scored 5.2 million viewers.
 * Piper learns from the Angel of Destiny that she is pregnant at the end of the episode.
 * This is the first time Phoebe identifies not wanting to be a witch anymore as a result of all that she and her sisters had lost over the last 4 years. Since the first episode of Charmed, Phoebe has been the most enthusiastic about being a witch compared to her sisters, stating it's something she's born with. This is a significant start to the storyline in Season 5's premiere, A Witch's Tail, Part 1 as well as Season 8's premiere Still Charmed and Kicking where she is more willing to give up her gift in order to lead a life free of demons again.
 * Phoebe visits the Demonic wasteland in this episode, making her the only sister to have known it.
 * There was a deleted scene where Leo and Darryl searched the witch hunter's office and they got caught.
 * The Angel of Destiny continues the "door closing tradition" of the Charmed season finales by magically shutting the door as he leaves. Or it could of just finish shutting when un-frozen after Paige was trying to shut it?
 * This is the only episode that was written, produced and directed by Brad Kern. Every other episode is only written and produced by him.
 * During season 4, the Charmed Ones and their associates vanquish 75 demons, 26 vampires, six warlocks, three furies, two ghosts, two mortals, one darklighter and one wizard, making a total of 116 evil beings. Of these, 12 are vanquished by Cole and 29 (including all but one of the vampires) by the Source.

Glitches

 * When Piper is looking into the next room to find Selena, her reflection can be seen behind the door although no mirror can be seen in the next room.
