[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Convinced that The Charmed Ones are too self-involved to protect the "greater good," Billie and Christy team up to destroy their reputations in the magical community. Calling upon her intimate knowledge of the sisters, Billie provides Christy and the immortal demon Dumain a notebook of the Charmed Ones' past conflicts in order to make the girls seem as if they only care about themselves. Phoebe obsessively lusts after Coop, Paige seeks only personal enlightenment at the expense of magical beings in need of help, while Piper turns into a perfect 1950s housewife. When their approval rating hits rock bottom, the Charmed Ones are forced into hiding in the Underworld.

  • Christy Jenkins: See Christy Jenkins
  • Billie Jenkins: See Billie Jenkins
  • The Triad: A group of three high-level demons that direct some supernatural matters. They were quite high in the evil hierarchy. When they became aware of the existence of The Charmed Ones they began sending demons to destroy them, including the demon Belthazor. The members of the Triad appeared as human males, but some had blackened eyes. Each had the ability to commune directly with The Source, the power to throw energy balls, the ability to teleport, and the power to manifest athames at will. Though their membership was known to change, the Triad was only ever comprised of three demons at a time.
  • Dumain: An immortal demon who disguised himself as a magical friend to Christy and Billie Jenkins when they were children. He is a secret agent of The Triad who is guiding the Jenkins sisters to destroy the Charmed Ones.

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is a play on words to the film Gone with the Wind.
  • Actor Michael Gilden previously appeared in the episodes Lucky Charmed, Oh My Goddess, Part 1, and Oh My Goddess, Part 2 as the character "Finnegan"; and is reprising his role as "Liam" which he previously played in the episode Something Wicca This Way Goes.
  • Actor David Mattey is reprising his role as the Ogre he played in the episode Something Wicca This Way Goes. The character seems to have been used in error though as in the episode he is shown to be vanquished by a demon in one scene but later appears in the manor's attic alive and well.
  • Actor Michael J. Anderson is reprising his role as O'Brien from the previous episode Repo Manor.
  • The spells cast to make the sisters look bad are from previous episodes - the one cast on Paige is from the season five episode House Call, the sin of lust used on Phoebe is from the season three episode Sin Francisco and the one used on Piper, using Grams' ring, is from the season four episode Lost and Bound(where Phoebe wore the ring).
  • Christy and Dumain show Billie a hologram of future Wyatt and Chris, from the season six episode Chris-Crossed where future Wyatt is evil, in order to convince her that the Charmed Ones are evil.
  • Paige shows an advance in her powers when she calls for the demons and they are thrown into the wall.
  • The Triad are shown to still exist in spirit form, continuing to guide evil to their ends. This episode also showed the glowing white platform the Triad congregated around in the episode Power Outage where they were first destroyed by Cole.
  • The Truth Spell used in the episodes The Truth Is Out There...and It Hurts and Necromancing the Stone is used again in this episode, however, as opposed to the two previous uses this time it was put into potion form by the Charmed Ones in order to use on demons.
  • Apparently, Phoebe shows the power of empathy again as she is able to sense great evil in the room of the Triad
  • The song "I'm Not Dead" by P!nk from the 2006 album of the same name (I'm Not Dead) plays after the opening credits - during the guest star/producer/crew credits.
