  • Jason Shaw reprises the role of Greg, the fireman who dated Piper during her separation from Leo during season 6.
  • The appearance of Simon Marks, another Whitelighter-Witch can be considered a minor plot hole. A relationship between witch and Whitelighter was forbidden at the time of his birth, which was the reason Paige was given up for adoption.
  • The visual and sound effects of Simon's orbing is different than any other whitelighter or whitelighter/witch on the show.
  • Piper does not use her Molecular Immobilization power and Phoebe does not use her Premonition power.
  • The showrunners initially wanted Greg Vaughan to return in this episode as Dan Gordon, but due to conflicting commitments, Greg was unable to appear in this episode and they went with Jason Shaw instead.
