Magical NotesEdit

Book of ShadowsEdit

Time LoopsEdit

TimeLoops
Time Loops entry.
A Time Loop is a Period of Time that repeats itself over
and over again ad infinitum. Sometimes a Loop is
localized to a specific place or group, but at other
times a Loop's effects can be felt globally. A few magical
beings are powerful enough to create Time Loops, such as
Tempus, the Devil's Sorcerer. But the causes of a Loop can
also be more Cosmic. For Example, certain spiritual
traditions believe that a great Evil or great Injustice can be
cursed into a Time Loop until righted. Once the evil has been
eliminated or the injustice has been corrected, Time will
stop repeating itself and again move forward for those
who were trapped in the Loop.

Time Loops exist in a parallel plane in the same physical space as the location in which they are discovered.

WB's promo
  • Darryl does not appear in this episode.
  • Cole stakes his claim in Phoebe's life and in the family's as well.
  • Bo Lightfeather has premonitions, but he has them through his dreams, this will happen to Phoebe on occasion.
  • When the Charmed Ones time-traveled to Colonial Virginia in "All Halliwell's Eve", they didn't have access to their individual powers because technically they hadn't been born yet; nevertheless, in this episode, as it wasn't really a time travel to the past, but to a parallel physical plane of existence, Prue and Cole could use their powers.
  • This is the second episode that Shannen Doherty directed, the first was "Be Careful What You Witch For". The next episode was All Hell Breaks Loose.
  • This is the second time that Phoebe channels her premonition power through someone else, this happened once before with a Succubus.
  • This is the first time that Phoebe has been shot, directly or indirectly. She gets shot again, in "It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 1".
  • The title of this episode is a reference to the film The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966).
  • The black crow at the end of the episode is possibly a reference to Prue's future death, as crows are most notably associated with death.
  • Victor finds out that Leo is a Whitelighter.
  • This episode scored 5.2 million viewers.

GlitchesEdit

  • When Phoebe and Victor are walking through the ghost town in the background on the porch, there is a water bottle, left there by either a cast or crew member.
  • When Cole first shows up at the manor, he has a slight beard and mustache. But once he and Prue shimmer to the town, he's clean shaven and then has the beard and mustache again.
  • In the living room after Phoebe was shot, Prue's arms are crossed, then when in the next cut, her arms are at her sides.
  • While in the town, Prue picks up the clothes of a guy, but she is clearly wearing a modern woman's shirt.
  • When Sutter's men go to find Bo, as they're on their way riding their horses, you can see "Prue" awaiting on her horse outside the building, and then the scene changes to Prue playing with the revolver inside the church.
  • When Sutter falls from the horse after Prue shoots, and runs, you can clearly see that it's not actor Ed Lauter, but a stuntman, and then it's Lauter again.

QuotesEdit

Leo: Piper, he's gonna kill me when he finds out.
Piper: Oh, don't be ridiculous, you're already dead.

Victor: Don't get me wrong, Leo. I want this marriage to succeed. That's why I'm warning you. But there are dangers out there worse than demons and warlocks. You do know about them, don't you?
Leo: Well, yeah, sure.
Victor: Well, the dangers I'm talking about, you're not even gonna see coming. The thing I'm talking about will just sneak up on you and destroy your marriage if you're not careful. Leo, do you know what a Whitelighter is?

Victor: You can't trust the Whitelighters, Leo. They're sneaky little bastards.

Cole: Gotta hold my hand.
Prue: This already sucks.
(Prue holds his hand and they shimmer out.)

Phoebe: Well, don't get mad at me, I've been shot.

Prue: Hi. What am I? A potted plant?

(receiving a call from Piper)
Leo: (to Victor) I've got to go. Now. And you're not going to like how I have to go, either.
(Leo orbs out)
