Artifacts

 * Scrying Crystal - A magical pendant used for Scrying. Phoebe used it to scry for Parallel Leo and Chris.
 * Crystals - Used by Paige to trap Parallel Leo and Chris in a Crystal Cage.
 * Athame - A double edged ceremonial knife. Gideon blessed it, so he could penetrate Wyatt's Force Field.
 * Darklighter Arrows - An arrow, poisonous to Whitelighters, used by Darklighters to kill Whitelighters. The poison will slowly kill them, if not healed in time.

Magical Beings

 * Gideon, the Elder - One of the most powerful Elders with multiple powers including invisibility, telekinesis, molecular dispersion, thought projection, etc. Gideon was entrusted with the creation of Magic School and was awarded the position as Head Master for the institution where young magical beings can learn about magic. While he originally pushed for the Elders to allow Piper and Leo to get married, once Wyatt was born, Gideon's attitude toward the couple changed drastically. He feared that all the power that Wyatt possessed would cause him to turn evil and become an unstoppable threat. Gaining the sisters' confidence, Gideon used his position as a friend of the family to get close to Wyatt. He first hired a team of Darklighters to get Leo out of the way. When that plan failed, he conspired with his evil counterpart in a parallel dimension to distract both the good and evil Charmed Ones so that he might kill Wyatt. The sisters realized his plan in time and stopped him, but only temporarily. Conspiring with Barbas, who used his powers to distract the sisters and Leo, Gideon managed to kidnap Wyatt, killing Chris in the process. Angered by his son's death, Leo tracked down Gideon in the Underworld and killed him. Unlike other Whitelighters and Elders, when Gideon orbs his orbs are purple.
 * Barbas - The Demon of Fear, an ancient, powerful Upper-Level demon who had lived for thousands of years; as fear always comes back and so does he. His key power is to read a person's greatest fear, and then turn it against them, either literally scaring his victims to death with illusions, or manipulating them fulfilling his aims.
 * Mrs. Winterbourne - The Nursery Teacher at Magic School. She helped Piper with her breathing.

Mortals

 * Inspector Sheridan - Darryl's colleague. She thought Chris' breakout was an inside job and was suspicious of the Halliwells and Darryl. In the Parallel World, she was a pole dancer in P3.
 * Mrs. Noble - The Halliwell's neighbor. Phoebe parked in her driveway, causing her to call a patrol officer.

Notes and Trivia
thumb|300px|right|It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World WB Trailer
 * The script for this episode can be found, here.
 * The episode title is a play on words referring to the title of the film "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."
 * Another title used by The WB for this episode was Nice Girls, Naughty Girls in Australia.
 * The hospital elevator is the same one used in Cole's apartment building, as well as the one used in Miles's building, whom Phoebe also dated.
 * This is Rose McGowan 's 67th episode, meaning that, from this episode onwards, she has offically starred in more episodes than Shannen Doherty (who starred in 66 overall).
 * This is the second (and last) season to have twenty-three episodes instead of twenty-two, the first season being season five.
 * Together with "Witch Way Now?", this season finale is the only one that doesn't feature or mentions Prue.
 * Is the first episode of the series to hold a UK ratings certificate of "15" for violence, the strongest rating the series received. The other episode was "It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 2".
 * Mrs. Noble is shown to be the Charmed Ones next door neighbor, living in the house previously occupied by Dan Gordon and his niece, Jenny.
 * At the very end of the episode after Phoebe is shot, the Ice Cream truck is playing the same song that it did in the episode, "We All Scream for Ice Cream". The song did not play a part in the episode but was added for it's eerie sound, reflecting that there was something wrong with the new Good world.
 * While in the evil world, when a dog barks at Phoebe and Paige, you can see a alleyway behind them. It's the same alley way that Prue and Piper fought Shax in 3 seasons ago.
 * Through his evil counterpart, it is revealed that Chris possesses the power of Telekinetic Orbing as well.
 * This two-part episode marks the only appearance of Dark Elders and Darklighter-Witches, both of which only seem to exist in the parallel world.
 * It is revealed that Chris is named after Leo's father, Christopher Wyatt.
 * This episode reveals the reason why Wyatt has turned evil in the future, namely Gideon's attempt to kill him and the fact that he was lost in The Underworld for an unknown amount of time.
 * In this episode, Wyatt shows how his powers have grown. He puts up his forcefield when left alone with Gideon when he senses that Gideon wants to harm him. Later, after Gideon pierces Wyatt's forcefield, he tries to stab Wyatt with a knife. Wyatt blinks and the knife orbs out of Gideon's hand and then with the nod of his head, the knife stabs Gideon in the chest.
 * The scene in which good and evil Gideon play chess is very similar to the scene between the Guardians of the Hollow in "Charmed and Dangerous".
 * This episode scored 4.8 million viewers.
