Behind the scenes

The episode is a done in style of a clip show, with the flashbacks themselves primarily consisting of past episodes, although there are also flashbacks not tied to any actual episodes. 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.
