Notes and Trivia[]

  • This is one of four episodes with "Phoebe" in the title.
  • This is the last episode featuring Balthazar Getty as Richard Montana.
  • At the start of the episode, Phoebe asked Chris if she had flirted with him, to which he answered "no". She actually did in "Oh My Goddess! Part 2", shortly after becoming the Goddess of Love.
  • Chris subtly hints that he is Piper and Leo's son after Leo tells him and Phoebe that Leo is petitioning to send him back to the future. Chris mumbles, "You mean abandoning me again."
  • A picture taken behind the scenes of Alyssa in her genie costume was used for her site.
  • In this episode Paige is given jewelry by Richard via magic. This is the same exact jewelry that alternate Phoebe is wearing in "Centennial Charmed".
  • This is the second time the sisters encounter a genie. The first time was in "Be Careful What You Witch For".
  • In this episode, Piper dies for the sixth time, Phoebe for the sixth time and Paige for the seventh. It is the only episode in which all three sisters die at the same time.
  • This is the only episode of the season not to involve any spells.
  • When Phoebe transforms into a genie in the attic, Alyssa and Holly have an exchange that sounds as if they are breaking the fourth wall; as Phoebe asks why she is always the one with the wig.
  • Phoebe has her last on-screen premonition of the season before being stripped of her powers. She doesn't have another on-screen premonition until the Season 7 episode "Styx Feet Under".
  • Paige learns that Chris is Piper and Leo's second son, if he can get them back together in time.
  • Piper does not use her Molecular Immobilization power and Phoebe does not use her Levitation or Empathy powers.
  • The black dress Paige receives from Richard is the same one Rose McGowan wore for a promotional shoot.

Cultural References[]

  • Elements of this episode are based on the popular 60's sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie". This is noticeable by the costume and bottle that were used. The episode title is also a reference to the show. Paige also references the similarities of Phoebe's costume to Jeannie's, saying "Shouldn't you be helping Major Nelson?"

Continuity Errors[]

  • When Chris first appears in the episode in Phoebe's office, Phoebe's scarf switches from her back to her front almost every time the camera switches.
  • When Chris and Phoebe orb to the Middle East, Chris bends down and you can clearly see him wearing a leather jacket, but when he gets back up, he is wearing the same hoodie he had on before.
  • While Leo reads the Arabic inscription on the genie's bottle, he reads it from left to right, but in Arabic it's from right to left.
  • When Chris is knocked to the floor by Bosk, the Book of Shadows drops next to him. When Chris raises his hand to telekinetically grab the bottle, the book is open to two blank pages. When the bottle flies into Chris' hand, the book is open to one blank page and Bosk's page.
  • When Jinny resurrects Zanbar, it is seen in the distance when Chris orbs in. But when they turn around completely, the city is completely gone, and is not seen throughout the battle.
