[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is a play on words to the phrase "taking a page from the past," which means using a past example to influence the present.
  • When Leo yells the line "Get your butt down here, you fetid worm from the bog of eternal stench!" it is in reference to the movie "Labyrinth," in which there was a place called the Bog of Eternal Stench, and anyone who touched the bog would reek forever.
  • We get to see Paige's adoptive parents and also learn that Paige could orb as a teenager (this is reflexive; she later learns to control it), which is what saved her from the car crash that killed her adoptive parents.
  • We learn that Paige was admitted into Berkeley by writing an essay about her parents' death.
  • When we see Paige's 1994 bedroom, she has what appears to be a Bride of Chucky doll. The movie Bride of Chucky wasn't released until 1998, four years later. She also has two Metallica posters made after 1994: one from 1996 and the other from 1998..
  • Phoebe agrees to marry Cole in this episode after almost marrying him while possessed by deranged spirits.
  • Lulu got into Phoebe through her chest. However, Frankie got into Cole through his stomach.
  • This is the only episode with "Paige" in the title. There is one episode with "Prue" in it, two with "Piper" and four with "Phoebe".
  • When Paige is trying to leave the classroom, she turns to tell the teacher that she is not staying. She has no braces, which she clearly had before when she was sitting at her desk and after, in front of the security guard.
  • This episode is when we find out that Paige was alot like Phoebe in high school, what with both of them doing some excessive partying, disobeying their guardians and what not.
  • When Paige goes back to 1994 she's tells her parents that she is just lost and one day she will find herself. In later episodes she is still trying to find herself, but now to find a balance between her normal and witch life, leading her to soul searching.
