With this oath, our journey begins together."

Notes and Trivia

 * This is the first episode that was filmed after the series was picked up in May Upfronts.
 * Faye mentions that she didn't want to "save the turtles" to Diana and Melissa. However, Phoebe Tonkin's former role Cleo in the australian TV show H2O: Just add water  saved a turtle from a fisherman's net.
 * It's revealed that most of the fomer coven died in a "boating accident" and they were all teenaged parents or in their early twenties. Therefore the surviors got stripped of their powers by the Elders.
 * The Elders is a refrence to "Charmed", a former TV show on the WB (a TV block that CW took over in 2006). The Elders are mostly grandparents of the members of the current Circle.
