Notes and Trivia

 * The script for this episode can be found, here.
 * This is the highest rated 'none-season premiere' episode of Charmed.
 * Wes Ramsey makes his first appearance as adult Wyatt.
 * This is the first of two episodes where both adult Wyatt and adult Chris are seen with each other. The next one will be in "Forever Charmed".
 * This episode inspired many Charmed fictional potential spin-offs.
 * In Season 8, Dumain shows Billie Jenkins that Wyatt will grow up evil and shows her Wyatt meeting Chris for the first time after Chris arrived back from the past.
 * In this episode we finally learn that Chris comes back from the future to protect Wyatt from turning evil as Wyatt seems to have a control over the whole of San Francisco, possibly more.
 * In the future, the Halliwell Manor has been turned into a museum by Wyatt to remind everyone of the powerful lineage which "he came from and that which he possesses".
 * Magic is no longer a secret to the world leading the world to be in chaos.
 * The Book of Shadows is no longer in the house except for a holographic version.
 * Wyatt created a new spell, the only spell so far that allows a witch to go to the past and retain his/her powers. This, again, shows how powerful he has gotten.
 * At the Halliwell Museum, some of the costumes from earlier episodes displayed; the super-heroine costumes from "Witches in Tights", the mermaid costume from "A Witch's Tale, Parts 1 &amp; 2", the oufit worn by Isis in "Y Tu Mummy Tambien", the Nymph outfit from "Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun", the Little Red Riding Hood robe from "Happily Ever After" and the clothing of The Evil Enchantress from "A Knight to Remember".
 * The beginning of "Wicca Envy" is discussed in this episode (when Piper kept freezing Leo during sex).
 * A hologram of Shax bursting into the Manor after Paige joined her sisters is from "Charmed Again, Part 1", is shown during the tour of the manor to scare the visitors.
 * We learn that within 25 years, within this reality, the Charmed Ones will finally be vanquished after vanquishing more than 1,000 demons themselves.
 * Both Phoebe and Paige move out of the manor before the next episode.
 * This is Phoebe's third time that she moves out the Manor. The first time is after Grams' death and the second time she moves out is in Season 4 where she moves in with Cole. This time she moves to Hong Kong, to live with Jason. She will do this again in Season 8 to get her own condo.
 * This is the first time Paige moves out of the Manor. She moves in with Richard.
 * This is the second time Piper blows up a person and an Energy Ball at the same time.
 * Phoebe could feel Chris's emotions due to his weakened power and strength. The effects of the Empathy-blocking potion were weakened as well.
 * At the beginning of the episode, Phoebe utters a phrase in Chinese. Piper is impressed and Phoebe reveals she learned it using Berlitz. In the season one episode "Dead Man Dating", Piper speaks to Mark Chao's mother in Chinese using cues from Mark. Her excuse was that she learned the language from Berlitz.
 * At the start of the episode, when Chris passes the girls, he tells them that he's going to find the next Demon but quickly says demonstration. Piper did exactly the same thing in "Lucky Charmed".
 * In this episode there is no evidence of Melinda Halliwell's existence in this Dark Future.
