[edit] Trivia
- The episode title is a play on words to the television series The Courtship of Eddie's Father.
- Another title used for this episode in advertising by The WB was Midnight Rendezvous.
- Phoebe and Paige tell Piper that Chris is really her son from the future, and she discovers she is pregnant with her second son.
- In past episodes, when a Darklighter is struck by his own arrow it blows him up, thus killing him. This didn't happen in this episode because they were in the ghostly plane where there are no powers. Instead the Darklighter only bleeds.
- Clarence the Angel of Death telling Chris that he was given a second chance is similar to a scene in the film It's a Wonderful Life in which an angel also named Clarence tells the character George that he too has a second chance at living his life.
- Chris's fading arm and hand as his moment of conception nears is reminiscent of the movie Back to the Future in which Marty McFly's arm and hand begin to fade away as the moment in which his parents must fall in love nears.
- Wyatt's first birthday is celebrated in this episode.
- Leo claims that Elders aren't allowed to drink, yet he drank beer openly at Piper's bar P3 in the episode Soul Survivor. However, this is the episode where Leo fully accepts his new role as an Elder.
- This is the first time we see Rose McGowan with brown hair in two years.
- Fans somehow wonder how Piper was able to conceive Chris, while she was in the ghostly plane with Leo.
[edit] International titles
- French: L'enfant de minuit
