Notes and Trivia
thumb|300px|right|The Last Temptation of Christy WB Trailer


 * This episode marks the first appearance of Marnette Patterson as Christy Jenkins.
 * Paige heals Henry for the second time. The first was in Payback's a Witch.
 * It's revealed that Christy is a firestarter, like Tyler Michaels from the season 4 episode Lost and Bound.
 * Jason Shaw reprises the role of Greg, the fireman who dated Piper for while during her separation from Leo during season 6.
 * The Title of this episode is a reference to the film The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
 * The WB Trailer did not mention Christy or the fact that she has even returned.
 * Despite a relationship between witch and whitelighter being forbidden at the time and the fact that Paige had to be hidden from the Elders, this episode introduces another Whitelighter-Witch hybrid, Simon, born around the same time. This seemingly odd development is never questioned by the characters nor properly explained.
 * In this episode, we learn that Paige is ticklish on her third toe (left foot) and right below her neck. We also learn that she only salts her popcorn on the right side, never the left, and that she cries EVERY time she watched the Wizard of Oz.
 * This is the only episode to have Christy,s name in the title

Glitches
