[edit] Trivia
- The title of this episode is a play on words to the popular saying Payback's a bitch.
- This episode received a 2.2/3 Nielsen Ratings.
- This is the fifth episode in which one of the Charmed Ones heals using Whitelighter powers. Piper uses this power in the episodes Love Hurts and Siren's Song while Paige performs the same feat in Charmed Again (Part 2) and Charmed and Dangerous. As opposed to the previous times Paige healed though, in this episode she did it on her own using her naturally self-developing powers to heal Henry.
- The song during the opening guest-star credits is Depeche Mode's "Precious."
- This episode reveals that Henry's last name is Mitchell.
- Wyatt's third birthday is celebrated in this episode.
- With the airing of this episode, Charmed became the longest running TV show with all female leads.
- This is the first hair change for Kaley Cuoco in the season. It is a little shorter and with a long fringe.
