After Wyatt inadvertently brings an enormous dragon to life, he is taken away by The Cleaners, a group dedicated to preventing the exposure of magic. The Cleaners also erase all signs of Wyatt's existence. The next day, The Charmed Ones, having no memory of Wyatt, nonetheless feel as if they have forgotten something important in their lives. The sisters cast a spell to repeat the previous day. While reliving it, they come to realize that at some point Wyatt is going to be kidnapped by The Cleaners and they must figure out how to stop them this time.

• The WB used "Dragon's Heat" while advertising for this episode.
• The gray slacks that Piper wears in this episode were worn by Holly Marie Combs in season six promotional pictures.
• If Paige didn't show up to walk into Mr. Stewick's office with Flo, why didn't Flo just walk by Paige's desk to remind her of the meeting?
• Piper telling that father that she always wanted kids and that she babysat a lot when she was young seems a little odd. In "Reckless Abandon", the baby made her very uncomfortable and she only mentioned unpleasant memories of babies.
• Why did the sisters feel it was necessary to leave Wyatt alone with the TV? They could have had their conversation without leaving the room.
• If the Cleaners are responsible for fixing situations in which magic becomes exposed, why did they not intervene when the sisters' magic became exposed in "All Hell Breaks Loose"?
• Phoebe's co-workers must be very angry people to spontaneously burst into a brawl. When Wyatt orbs he and Piper out of the manor, the only thing Piper is holding is the baby. When they orb in by the tunnel, Piper has her cell phone in her hand.

Three evil sisters, wanting the Power of Three for themselves, magically steal the sister's identities. Using Paige, Phoebe and Piper's identities, the evil sisters lure them from the Manor to gain access to the Book of Shadows, which they subsequently use to steal The Charmed Ones' powers. Stripped of both their powers and identities, the girls must convince Chris that they are the real Halliwell sisters in order to get their lives back. Meanwhile, Piper realizes that Wyatt needs time with Leo; Phoebe and Jason sort out their feelings; Paige learns that magic will always be a part of her life; and Leo continues on his quest to find out who put him on the Island of Valhalla.

• The WB used "Dirty Blondes" while advertising for this episode.
• Todd Tucker also guest starred in "Witches In Tights" and "Necromancing the Stone".
• The necklace that Piper wears for most of the episode was also worn by Holly Marie Combs in "Sam I Am".
• Even if Mabel, Mitzy and Margo had magically assumed Piper, Phoebe and Paige's identities, the Book of Shadows would still recognize them and shy away from the evil witches. The Book recognizes magic, not identities, which is why Leo and other good beings have been able to touch the Book in the past.
• The spell the three blondes use to strip the Charmed Ones of their powers was first used in "How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans" and, in that episode, in order for the spell to work the persons from which the powers are being extracted needed to drink a potion first.
• Since when is an evil doer not worth vanquishing? And even if the Book advised simply binding the Stillman sisters' powers, assuming the Charmed Ones' identities and stealing their powers seems to make them enough of a threat to vanquish.
• After Mabel supposedly freezes Phoebe in the attic, her earring is still swinging.
• When Phoebe is frozen she is facing Paige, but in the second shot of a supposedly frozen Phoebe she is turned about ninety degrees and facing the three blondes.

• The exterior of Anthony's, where Piper and Seth eat dinner, is the same building used for Quake's exterior in season one.
• As the man at the temp agency is reading through jobs, he mentions a pre-school assistant and then asks Paige how she is at diapering. However, pre-schoolers generally no longer wear diapers.
• As Phoebe is meditating she levitates a pillow as well as herself, which she has never done before. But why would she need to levitate a pillow to sit on?
• Phoebe reminds Piper that she dated, "A demon, a warlock and a ghost," but Piper never dated a demon. The only evil being she has ever dated was Jeremy, a warlock, in "Something Wicca This Way Comes".
• Drew Fuller's hair keeps changing throughout the episode. In one scene it is very neatly combed then in the next it is messy and then in the following scene it is neat again.
• Piper recites the "To Call a Lost Witch" spell and says it was not working, but she was not performing the accompanying ritual that the Book says must be done in conjunction with the spell, as shown in "Charmed Again, Part I".

• The WB used the title "Fantasies of the Flesh" when advertising for this episode. The title refers to the 1960s television series "My Three Sons".
• Lynn Tufeld also guest starred in "Sleuthing With the Enemy". The basement in which Paige finds the little girl hiding is the same set used for the sisters' basement in the manor.
• If Piper was concerned about leaving Wyatt in the house with Gith, then why didn't Piper let Chris orb her to Wyatt and then all three of them orb out of the manor?
• Supposedly Phoebe's world was based on Jason's desires because of her empathy power, but since Chris gave Gith a list of the sisters' desires why would it matter that she was feeling Jason's desires at the moment?
• Why did Paige and Phoebe bother hiding in the dumpster? Paige could have orbed to the manor or somewhere safe. Both Piper and Paige drank a potion in "Love's a Witch" to block Phoebe's empathy power, so why did neither Phoebe nor Paige hesitate in thinking that Phoebe could use her empathy power to sense Piper?
• How do both Piper and Wyatt come out of that car wreck unscathed? The truck hits the side of the Jeep on which Wyatt's car seat is located.

• When Paige storms out of the attic, Piper's face is in her hands, but in the next shot her hands are resting in her lap and she then brings them up to her face.
• Even if Phoebe can use her empathy power to channel other creatures' powers, how could she have been able to reverse the direction of the energy ball? As we have seen in the past with Cole, once a demon throws an energy ball, she/he cannot control its course.

Spoilers

• Timothy Leary's "Human Be-In" took place on January 14, 1967.
• Origami is a Japanese art and not a Chinese art.
• If the slime demon feeds on magic, why did it wait to attack Phoebe when she levitated but did not attack Chris when he orbed out of the saw mill to get Phoebe and then when he brought Phoebe back?
• Phoebe and Paige discuss that Paige was born in the year of the ox, but the only year of the ox during the 1970s was 1973, which would make her as old as Piper.
• Since the go-go boots brought Paige to the past wouldn't Penny have had another pair of the same boots, the boots that existed in the '60s? Paige was fortunate that Penny thought her go-go boots were missing and did not open the closet to reveal the same pair of boots.
• When the sisters went back to 1975 in "That 70s Episode", Grams appeared to be in her forties or fifties but in this episode Grams appears to be in her late 20s in 1967. How did she age that much in only 8 years?
• The calendar that Paige notices says that it is January of 1967, but at the hippie gathering Paige attends the weather seems to reflect a spring or summer month.
• Leo says that he and Grams crossed paths when he was a young whitelighter, but in 1967 Leo would have been a whitelighter for over 20 years.
• Why was Piper so disgusted and stunned by the fact that Leo knew Grams when she was younger? She has known for a long time that Leo has been alive since 1924 and has not seemed to mind for quite a while. She was very supportive of him going to the reunion of the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Guadalcanal.
• Obviously the writers have forgotten all about the idea introduced in "Secrets and Guys" that witches are not supposed to know about having whitelighters.
• Why did the guitar player need to levitate a pillow to sit on?
• Allen thinking that Paige was his sister, Janice, might have been an allusion to the concept introduced in"Pardon My Past" that the same souls interact in each of their lifetimes and that souls can recognize each other. However, if Paige was Janice in her past life, then Janice would have had to have died really young since Paige was born in 1977, only ten years after the events in this episode. But Allen's recognition of Paige might have simply been a hint of family resemblance. However, Grams all ready told Paige in "Happily Ever After" that she looked just like Grams' mother.
• When Phoebe recites the spell to summon Grams' spirit, she says "Come to thee, I summon thee" instead of "Come to me, I summon thee" as the sisters have said in the past.
• Chris says that in his future it took the power of three to vanquish the slime demon, but when Chris first appeared in "Oh My Goddess, Part I" he said that Paige had been killed by the Titan so no power of three would have existed in his future. (Either a continuity error, evidence that Chris lied, or an indication that Chris' memories of the future are changing as he alters the present.)
• How coincidental that the go-go boots took Paige back to the same day that her grandfather died.
• On the family tree that appeared in episodes "Pardon My Past" and "Baby's First Demon", Patty's father—the sisters' grandfather—is listed as Jack Halliwell and not Allen. Also, his death date is listed as 1964 and not 1967.
• When Luther Morris says that "a brother could get used" to wearing a police uniform, Piper replies that "So could a brother's son," obviously alluding to Darryl. Luther was not much older than Penny, the sister's grandmother, appeared to be in this episode, so why would Piper assume that Luther was Darryl's father rather than grandfather? Darryl is not much older than the sisters.
• Why did Paige throwing marbles on the floor make Robin fall down when she never takes a step?
• Since the plot hinged upon the fact that Grams' transition from hippie to demon hunter was essential to the sisters being alive, it seems as though more about the present should have changed when Paige prevented Allen from being killed than just Grams' appearance and attitude.
• The potion that Paige throws at the warlock explodes before it hits him.
• Since spellcasting has been demonstrated to be a magical witch ability and the sisters have always lost their powers when they traveled to the past, why would Piper still be able to cast spells, like the one she cast in the jail? And when the sisters lost their powers in "A Witch In Time" they could not throw potions either, but Phoebe and Paige can in this episode.

• The maroon scarf that Piper wears in the opening scene of the episode was also worn by Holly Marie Combs in"Witchstock".
• The picture that Piper looks at of herself, Leo and Wyatt was taken during the filming of "Baby's First Demon".
• Mr. Right suggests that Piper calls him David because she "has always liked that name"—this naming of Mr. Right might be a reference to Holly Marie Combs' real life boyfriend David Donoho.
• Both Rose McGowan and Alyssa Milano sound like they have colds at various points in the episode.
• Even though the episode takes place over two days, Wyatt only wears one outfit.
• During certain points of the food fight, the actresses' stunt doubles were used.
• In "Once Upon a Time" Phoebe says that Piper is a gemini, so Piper would have been born in May or June, not January. And on the family tree that appears in "Pardon My Past" and "Baby's First Demon" Piper's birthdate is listed as August 7.
• Paige tells Darryl that Richard is not coming to Piper's birthday party because "Magic just doesn't like him," but why would a birthday party necessarily entail magic?
• Why did Phoebe and Paige hide all of the party supplies in the manor? Since Piper is the only one living there now, she would very likely find them.
• Why was everyone acting like binding Wyatt's powers would be permanent? They could bind his powers temporarily until he is old enough to control them.
• When the Order was displaying images of possible people that the Acolyte might disguise himself as to enter the manor, the collection of people seemed odd: a mailman, some random young man, a doctor and then Darryl. If they gathered the images of those people through surveillance of the manor, why would a doctor have been at the sisters' house? Not many doctors make house calls these days.
• When David and Piper take Wyatt upstairs to put him to sleep, Paige tells them to turn off the demonic alarm system "in case the baby mistakes him for a demon." But if Wyatt thought that David was a demon wouldn't he have raised his shield against David before then?
• Why doesn't the alarm system go off when the demon disguised as Darryl enters the manor?
• Why doesn't Phoebe receive a premonition off of the present that fake Darryl brought to the manor or sense strange feelings empathically to warn them of his true nature?
• Why did Piper leave "Darryl" alone with Wyatt? She could have just taken the present from him.
• When Leo falls on top of the sisters after Wyatt's shield pushes him away, he lands on top of Piper. But in the next shot, Piper is laying beside him and they are not touching at all.
• The "baby" that the leader of the Order holds when he is performing the ceremony is too short to be Wyatt and too stiff to be an actual child.
