Behind The Scenes

Notes
Edit




- This is Gildart Jackson's first appearance as Gideon.
- This is also the first appearance of Magic School.
- The title of the episode is a reference to the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". (1820)
- When all the heads are put on something, an object is always there to the hide the hole. Sigmund on a table cloth, Piper's head was on a cabinet with her body in it, and then all of the sisters were on books.
- In Phoebe's vision Piper's future second son said "Aunt Phoebe, we need your help". When Phoebe came out of her vision, it was Chris calling her, which made Phoebe realize that Chris is Wyatt's little brother.
- Taking Wyatt's approximate age into account in Phoebe's vision, it could be argued that she is pregnant with Parker instead of P.J. during her glimpse of the future.
- Kaley Cuoco, who portrays Billie Jenkins, starred in a movie about the Headless Horseman, which, ironically, was called "The Hollow", which is also a name of an acient vapor on Charmed, seen in Season 4 and Season 8.
- This episode shows the most people being orbed by just one person.
- This episode marks the first appearance of Betsy Randle in the recurring role of Mrs. Winterbourne.
- This is one of four episodes that has the word "Halliwell" in the title.
- This episode scored 4.8 million viewers.
Glitches
Edit
- Zachary was able to tap into Piper's power and freeze the other students, although her power doesn't work on good witches. This could be due to the fact that the students at that point have the same power level of a witch practitioner, Zachary's telepathic channeling increased Piper's power or Piper's powers are getting stronger.
- While Piper's head is perched atop the cabinet, her hair moves into different positions: around her neck, off to the side and behind her head.
- When the students are frozen, they're together; when Phoebe and Chris return to the Manor, Zachary is separated from the others and they are in different positions.
