Answered Questions from Previous Episode(s)

• Why did Abigael's power try to burn her baby sister in the past?
  • She accidentally set her hand on fire.

Unanswered Questions

• Will Jordan Chase come back?
• What will the Perfecti do with the ancient stone tablet?
• Will Abigael be able to return Macy's demonic powers?

References to the Original Charmed

• The trial was similar to "Crimes and Witch-Demeanors" from the original series.
  • Also, the flashback reel was similar to the one from the aforementioned episode and the one from "Cat House."
  • The Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones appealing for Jordan is similar to how the Halliwell-Matthews sisters appealed for Darryl.
    • Both Jordan and Darryl suffer from trauma, following the trials, and decide to take a break from magic.
• The Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones facing off The Perfecti at the end of the episode is similar to the battle of the Halliwell-Matthews Charmed Ones against Billie and Christy Jenkins using the power of the Hollow in "Kill Billie Vol. 2" and "Forever Charmed."
  • However, the original timeline's battle between the Halliwell-Matthews sisters and the Jenkins sistsers resulted in the explosion of the manor and killed three of the five participants, whereas the battle between the Vera-Vaughn sisters and the Perfecti was much shorter and somewhat anticlimatic as the Perfecti teleported away.

Production Notes

• The episode was watched by 0.36 million U.S. viewers.
• This episode aired on the fifteenth anniversary of the original show's series finale, Forever Charmed.
