Notes and Trivia[]
- There were people who did not keep the secret in the end:
- Danny, David's younger brother. He was aware of Max Franklin's abilities when they broke into an arcade together. He later told his brother, who started the plan to rob a bank. His talkativeness put the lives of Max, Gordan, and Prue at risk.
- Dr. Griffiths originally agreed to keep the sisters' secret, but ultimately revealed them to the public news. When time reset, he was murdered by the demon, Shax.
- Charlene Hughes was aware of the existence of demons and tried to prove their existence with her thesis. Since she was killed at the beginning of her appearance, she was not counted as a "secret keeper".
