Trivia
- The title of this episode is a reference to the movie I am Sam.
- Another title used by The WB in advertisements was Daddy Dearest.
- This is the second appearance of the character Sam, who previously appeared in the episode P3 H2O.
- Actress Niki Botelho, who plays the Elf Nanny, later reprises her role in the episodes Oh My Goddess Pt 1, Oh My Goddess Pt 2 and The Power of Three Blondes.
- Piper's baby, who is still in the womb, now creates a force field around Piper making her invulnerable.
- Phoebe touches the Darklighter arrow in this episode. In the season one episode Love Hurts, Leo was not sure if the Darklighter arrows were poisonous to the sisters as well, so Prue needed to use her powers to remove it. Later in season four's Charmed and Dangerous, Piper was able to touch the arrow that almost killed Leo. Paige, however, is half-whitelighter, so Piper did not allow her to touch the poisoned arrow.
