References to the Original Charmed[]
- Mel suggests in one of her voicemails to Kaela since there's a two-year age difference between them, she could easily not remember her mom being pregnant especially if she was pregnant with her before Maggie. In the original series, Patty Halliwell told Piper and Phoebe they were too young to realize she was pregnant with Paige before she was given up at birth.
- While talking to her adoptive mother on the phone, Kaela is researching humans suddenly becoming witches. Though not exactly the same case, Paige researched history about witches after she embraced her role as the new Charmed One.
- Harry and Jordan meet a leprechaun in this episode. Leprechauns first appeared in the fifth season of the original series.
- In the original series, leprechauns were extremely short, whereas in the reboot they apparently have the same height range as humans. This may be a gag on one particular case in Season 6 of the original series when an evil witch cursed a leprechaun into becoming very tall.
- The Vittra were a supposedly extinct group of women who hunted down witches that revealed magic to humans in order to destroy them to prevent more exposure. In the original series, many factions of the magical world worked to keep magic from being exposed by any means, such as the Libris demons in season 2, and the Cleaners in season 6; in fact, keeping their existence a secret from mortals was one of the few things good and evil did actually agree upon and were willing to work together to accomplish.
- Seymour bares a resemblance to the Beast from the original series.
Production Notes[]
- The episode was watched by 0.45 million U.S. viewers.
- Liz Kruger, who was a showrunner for the second and third season, returned to direct and co-write this episode.
- This episode with the leprechaun was released the day after the Feast of Saint Patrick.
