Behind the scenes

 * Flashbacks to previous episodes include "Cover Up," Monkey See, Doggie Do, and "Monkey See, Doggy Two."
 * We get to see the girls as babies and teenagers; the former of which they never were and the latter of which they will never grow to become. Although they are depicted as teenagers in the unrelated Powerpuff Girls Z anime.
 * According to the wedding flashback, no character has seen Ms. Bellum's face just like us.

Errors

 * Isn't it selfish of Professor Utonium to create a potion that could keep the girls remaining young forever? It didn't sound like he was going to give them an option in the matter.
