** In the BadFuture, Prue is a ruthless, corrupt executive that's such a workaholic that she has no one in personal life to miss her if she died. ("Here lies Prue. She worked hard," she observed.) Once back in the present, Prue resolves to not become like her future self by making time for things other than her job. Half a season down the line, she quits working at Buckland's to protest a business deal scamming a customer, ultimately ending up as a photographer (a job she considers more fulfilling on a personal level). Though she dies sooner than she would've in the BadFuture, her funeral is very well-attended, demonstrating that lots of people miss her.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Phoebe spells out the moral that might doesn't equal right, the wrong thing done for the right reasons is still the wrong thing, and JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope can start from little actions that build up over time.

** In the future, Phoebe is exposed as a witch but Prue and Piper have still preserved their cover. This is the opposite of how "All Hell Breaks Loose" goes - where Piper and Prue are exposed to the world and Phoebe is safe in the Underworld. Once again it results in the death of a Charmed One, and this time it's not fixed with a ResetButton.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Despite the new fashions and hairstyles, none of the Halliwells looks that older ten years into the future. Given that they're implied to have created more personal gain spells, possibly they made one to slow the aging process.

In Season 6 Phoebe starts misusing her powers for personal gain - even allowing a man to be killed by demons. She even gets punished by the Elders because of it.

** There's a scene where Prue discovers her future self is about to lay off loads of employees. The episode is set one year after the 2008 recession, which the writers obviously couldn't have foreseen, but it retroactively makes future Prue even more corrupt; she's about to lay off a bunch of workers during a recession when she has a spell to create money.
