• 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.

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

Glitches

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