[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Christy becomes a powerful force in the Underworld as the demon Creo tries to convince her that she needs to get Billie away from the Charmed Ones so she and her sister can fulfill their dark destiny. Coop the Cupid discovers that Michael, a co-worker of Phoebe's, has asked Phoebe out several times but she constantly turns him down. This causes Coop to play match maker. Meanwhile Paige gets magically trapped in Henry's body, which becomes a little crowded for the both of them.

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is a play on words to the book and film The Bourne Identity.
  • The demon Creo previously appeared in the episode Payback's a Witch.
  • Coop realizes that he's in love with Phoebe in this episode.
  • The Charmed Ones realize that the Jenkins sisters are the ultimate power.
  • Christy experiments with her telepathy, learning that she can listen in on the thoughts of others.
  • When Paige is sent into Henry's head, Henry is able to orb himself as well as magically call for objects. He however can not draw upon the Power of Three to create spells, as proven when he could not help the sisters locate the Noxon demon.
  • Piper says that because they vanquished an unvanquishable demon they are the ultimate power, but in Primrose Empath, Prue vanquished one so she would become an ultimate power if she were alive. But she would only be an ultimate power if she acquired empathy. Leo said that she was not meant for the empathy gift. And the demon said," I can handle your powers." Prue responds,"What about pain? Human pain?" Meaning that he can handle her witch power, but not empath power, which she would never have acquired.
