shock-troops or assassins by more powerful demons. Use the

following potion vanquish: Mix the following herbs-

hemlock, wolf'sbane, Sumac petals and Imp powder.

SpellsEdit

To Send the Noxons to the Astral PlaneEdit

Because they are unvanquishable, they only way to get rid of the Noxon Demons is to banish them to the Astral Plane, since that plane exists out of time.

When Piper threw the potion to torture him to let him confess who he works for, Christy started casting the spell.

NotesEdit

The title of this episode is a referrence to the movie: "The Bourne Identity".
The scene at the end with Piper and Paige, is similar to the scene in "Bite Me", where both characters are realizing that they'll have to vanquish Cole. In this episode, they realize they have to kill Billie and Christy.
This is the first time that Piper uses Molecular Combustion directly on a witch.
Piper uses both her powers in this episode.

References to other movies, books, mythology, etc.Edit

The balcony scene with Phoebe, Coop and Michael is a reference to the play "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand.

GlitchesEdit

When Piper blasts Christy, it's obvious a stunt double was used as that her hair is a more lighter blonde than Marnette Patterson.
