[edit] Trivia
- This is the only incidence since Shannen Doherty's departure at the end of season three that the character of Prue is shown. While her face is never displayed, her back is shown as she exits the manor via motorcycle. Prue is also shown as a dog.
- We discover that Kit the cat later became human as a reward for her good deeds. She now cares for future familiars before they are assigned to a witch. The Charmed Ones joked that Kit might some day become human in the episode Pre-Witched.
- Katrina's house looks exactly like the house of David Silver's on Beverly Hills 90210, which starred Shannen Doherty.
- When the marriage counselor asks Piper and Leo to say how they first met, a flashback from the season one episode The Fourth Sister was shown, when Leo was their handyman looking for Kit the Cat. This however, isn't truly how they first met, in the season three episode Pre-Witched it was shown that Piper and Leo bumped into each other, before they officially met, while Piper was talking to Prue about her own wedding day.
- In the flashback to the wedding, when the cake falls the figures land a bit away from it, but in the episode Just Harried when the cake fell, the figures landed underneath the cake.
- This is the first true flash-back episode. The previous episode Pre-Witched did feature flash-backs, but they were all new footage of never before seen events in the Charmed Ones' lives.
- The breaking of the bride-and-groom figure in this episode leads to the events occurred to Piper and Leo's relationship on the season finale Oh My Goddess Pt 2.
- Several of the scenes shown in the flashbacks were editied beyond adding Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan into them. The flashback to Season one, episode 21, added Piper and Leo orbing out after she healed him, while that did not happen in the episode, they simply walked downstairs. Also, during the flashback to Piper's wedding showed T.J. saying 'Come on baby, let's go for a ride!,' which was not in the original. Also, in the scene from 'The Fourth Sister', the part where Piper and Phoebe are walking and Piper says that Phoebe likes bad boys is completely new footage. Finally, the scene from 'Coyote Piper' was editied with different music.
- In several moments, Phoebe and Paige should bump with their past selves or someone from the past.
- When they first go back in time and Paige sees Phoebe with blonde hair, she tells Phoebe that she didn't know she used to have blonde hair. However, when Paige first met Phoebe, Phoebe had blonde hair, which proves Paige did know about the change in hair color.
- This episode got a 4.1/7 in ratings share
