* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** After Leo being written out of the series for ten episodes, he returns and plays a prominent role in the finale.
** For those that didn't like Season 8, this was regarded as a good way to end the show.
** In exchange for not being able to feature Prue in the episode, the granddaughter that features in the last scene is named Prudence and has the same powers of her. Phoebe's first daughter is likewise named PJ, with the P standing for Prudence. Granted, the only way of knowing this would be to read the credits.
