Spells

To Turn Into a Teenager

While Phoebe looked in her yearbook, she saw this poem. She read it, unknowingly it actually was a spell. The spell turned her back into her teenage self.

Those who mock who I am,
Let them always remember when.

To Turn a Woman into a Dog

Phoebe cast this spell to turn Paula Marks into a dog, after she called her 'Freebie'.

I'd rather be rich,
Than a Bitch.

To Revive the Past

Teenage Phoebe cast this spell to turn everyone at the reunion back into their teenage selves.

The past is the future, and the future is the past,
Let's welcome back the senior class!

To Create An Illusion of Fire

Rick Gittridge forced Phoebe to help him rob a money transport. Phoebe cast this spell hoping it would create an illusory fire, but it created a real fire instead.

Make them see, what cannot be,
Flames that leap to make them flee.

To Make One Hear Their Greatest Fears

While being forced to help him rob a money transport, Phoebe cast this spell to make Rick hear police sirens.

Make him hear what isn't there
His deepest worries come to bare

To Change Someone's Appearance

Paige cast this spell to make Rick look like Chris. He wanted a young and hot appearance. Paige chose Chris' look because the Scabbar Demons were after him. The Demons killed Rick, looking like Chris, instead of the real Chris.

Who you were, you're now another
Take the face of Wyatt's brother

Notes and Trivia

thumb|300px|right|Hyde School Reunion WB Trailer

  • The name of the episode is a reference to the novel Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.
  • Calling Phoebe "Freaky Phoebe" is a reference to the movie Freaky Friday (1976) as well as the remake in 2003.
  • Although credited, Brian Krause does not appear in this episode. He does this for the first time since "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans". This is the second and last episode in the series that credits an absent actor, the first is "That '70s Episode", in which T.W. King is credited but does not appear in the episode.
  • The nickname of Phoebe in high school, "Freebie", was revealed by Prue in "Love Hurts".
  • Paige calls Phoebe "Freaky Phoebe" which is also the title of a season 7 episode.
  • This is the first episode where Holly Marie Combs (and Piper) begins to show her pregnancy.
  • This is the last time one of the sisters turn into their teenage self. Paige did so in "A Paige from the Past" and Prue did in "Be Careful What You Witch For". However, in the Season 7 episode, "Cheaper by the Coven" their personalty changes into bickering teenagers.
  • The poem Phoebe wrote is actually a spell that turned her into a teenager.
  • In this episode, Phoebe and Paige essentially set up a mortal human, Rick, to get killed by demons. This contradicts the lesson on punishing the guilty that they were forced to learn in "Morality Bites", as well as Paige almost turning evil via her desire to punish a normal human by killing him when she thought he was abusing his son in "Charmed Again, Part 2". This is one of several signs that fans have noted showing a negative shift in the sisters' moralities, especially since Paige could've just orbed his gun away and they'd likely have subdued him from there. Ironically, the comic series revisits the Phoebe-kills-Cal Greene scenario in "Morality Bites Back".
  • The show that premiered after this episode on the WB, was ironically called "high school reunion".
  • Six months have passed since the previous episode "The Courtship of Wyatt's Father", which Chris mentions in the next episode "Spin City", making this the longest time span between episodes in the entire series. This explains why Piper suddenly looks very pregnant, as opposed to the previous episode when she just got pregnant.
  • It is stated that in Chris' original timeline, Piper died when he was a teenager, and after her death, his grandfather, Victor raised Chris.
  • At the end of the episode, Chris calls Piper, "Mom" for the first time.
  • This episode scored 4.8 million viewers.

Glitches

  • In the scenes where the camera is outside of the car as Phoebe is driving, you can see her stunt double's face clearly.
