Magical Notes

Spells

To Vanquish a Chameleon Demon

Evil hiding in apparently sight,

I use this spell with all my might,

to stop you changing course and shape,

this vanquish seals your fate.

Heed Link

Harness your mental free energy

by reciting this spell whithin

a circle of candles

Life to Life

And Mind to Mind

Our Spirits now

will intertwine.

We meld our Souls

and journey to

the 1 whose thoughts

we wish we knew.

To Break a Heed Link

Recite this spell

Life from Life

and Heed from Heed

Our spirits now

will disentwine.

We part our souls

and journey home

to let our thoughts

be on their own.

To Relinquish Our Powers

From whence they came,

return them now;

vanish the words,

vanish our powers.

Notes and Trivia

The Source'south 'dream world' about mimics the real world, for example:
- Paige says, "Got milk? Oooh don't think so." Earlier in the episode, Paige forgot to buy milk.
- When Phoebe comes to assist Piper out, she's eating a cookie, and says to Piper "Not your best." Again before in the episode, she was making cookies, and they plain weren't her all-time.
- Later, while Piper is yelling at Phoebe to release her from the strapped bed, Phoebe says "stop obsessing". Earlier in the episode, Phoebe tells Piper that she told her to warn her when she began to obsess over something.
The Halliwell Hospital is the manor, devoid of antiques and collectibles, and is painted in aqua and beige, traditional colors for mental institutions. The stain glass windows, the wood stained door frames and moldings, still, have been left the way they were, because it would take also much time for the set crew to restore them back to the original for the next episode.

A season vi episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Normal Once more, has a very like plot where Buffy finds herself in a mental hospital, wondering which reality is real. As stated in an issue of Overjoyed Mag, the reason for this is because the episode writer offered similar scripts to both shows, with Charmed using the idea first.
- The "Smallville" episode "Labyrinth" also features a similar plot.
- The"Star Trek: The Side by side Generation"episode"Frame of Heed"too features a similar plot before Charmed.
In this episode, Cole created the biggest free energy ball seen in the series.
The Source wanted Piper to cast the To Relinquish Our Powers spell. The sisters destroyed the page with this spell in "Wicca Green-eyed" after Rex Buckland manipulated them into using it.
This is the concluding episode of Ben Guillory every bit the Source of All Evil. He will be replaced by Peter Woodward in "Charmed and Unsafe" and "Drastic Housewitches".
This is the 2nd time Piper has been put into a coma. The outset fourth dimension was in "Awakened".
This episode scored 4.viii million viewers and is the 3rd-highest ranked Charmed episode on Goggle box.com later "All Hell Breaks Loose" and "Charmed and Unsafe".
Phoebe mentions Piper's "cute little girl" they saw in the future. Withal, Phoebe never actually saw her, as she was in jail the unabridged time; merely Piper and Prue (admitting on a photograph) did.
Leo shows he can project himself into Piper'south mind, reversing the Source's influence on his married woman. He never displays this power again.
Phoebe does not use her Levitation ability and Paige does not use her Telekinetic Orbing power.

Cultural References

The championship is a reference to the "brain drain", the phenomenon of talented and educated people from one country going to another country for ameliorate conditions.

Continuity Errors

When Piper was hitting by car she is bleeding on the correct side of her mouth, but when we run across her with the Source, she is bleeding on the left side.
In Wicca Green-eyed, the spell had to be chanted separately by every sister to be constructive. Here, the Source tried to trick Piper into chanting it three times, but information technology had no effect, fifty-fifty if Piper all the same chanted it twice successfully. Also, the Source had no lantern or whatsoever other mean to comprise their powers.
