Notes and Trivia
Someone to Witch Over Me WB Trailer
- This is the sixteenth episode to have the word 'witch' in the title.
- Piper mentions Enola, the student who helped Phoebe in "The Legend of Sleepy Halliwell". She made Phoebe see her future in a vision quest, in the same way that Leo is doing in this episode.
- Peter Woodward portrayed the demon Aku in this episode. He previously appeared in "Charmed and Dangerous" as The Source, a role he reprises in "Desperate Housewitches".
- Flashbacks from "The Courtship of Wyatt's Father", "The Day the Magic Died" and "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 2" are used in this episode.
- Phoebe dies for a seventh time in this episode.
- Piper dies for an eighth time in this episode.
Cultural References
- The title is a reference to the jazz song "Someone to Watch Over Me", which was originally composed in 1926 and has been covered by many artists.
- Phoebe says "We're not Brody's Angels", a reference to the TV series "Charlie's Angels", which has also been made into two movies with the same name. Piper previously made a similar comment about Leo in the episode "The Devil's Music".
Glitches
- Piper knows Sarpedon's name when discussing him kidnapping Kyle. However, he didn't mention his name in front of the sisters and he only features in the Book of Shadows on the Celerity Demons page, with no mention of any of their names.
- On the tombstone that Alpha shows Leo, Paige's name is listed under "Halliwell" instead of Matthews.
- As Piper lies dead near the end of the episode, her arms are above her head and set apart from each other. However, Leo revives her, her arms are placed together supporting her head.
- When Piper and Phoebe are being brought back to life by Leo, Piper has the weapon that killed her stuck in her stomach, then the next shot, It's gone.
Continuity Errors
- In Centennial Charmed, the combination of a power and a spell was required for Alpha to turn Cole into an Avatar, however in this episode he achieved so solely through power granting, without the use of the spell.
