    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Holly Marie Combs was pregnant with her first child during this season & they wrote it into the script.
    • Goofs
      Phoebe claims that maybe Chris's conception wasn't meant to be and that it is possible that his ultimate destiny was to warn the sisters about Wyatt. If Chris wasn't conceived, though, then he would have never been able to travel to the past to warn them, a fact he states earlier in the episode.
    • Quotes

      Paige Matthews: I can't believe how hard it is to get two people laid.

      Phoebe Halliwell: Paige, that is disgusting!

      Paige Matthews: Well, it's what we're trying to do, right?

      Phoebe Halliwell: No, we are trying to romance Piper and Leo together so they can conceive Chris, our nephew.

      Paige Matthews: And that's different how?

      Phoebe Halliwell: Well, because what you said is very Springer, what I said is very Oprah.
