Artifacts
- The Grimoire - The Grimoire is a large brown book with an unknown demonic symbol of an upside down pentagram and skull on the cover. The pages of the Grimoire are said to be blackened by its evil. Much like the Book of Shadows, the Grimoire possesses the power to protect itself from its enemies or anything Good.

Notes and Trivia
- Alyssa Milano is wearing the same shirt she wore in the season four premiere, "Charmed Again".
- Phoebe discovers Cole is the Source through a premonition. While she touched Cole while he was the Source before, she was unable to get a premonition off of him because the Source protected himself. It is likely the premonition now worked because Cole's love left him vunerable, as the Seer had warned earlier.
