Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA 7-minute excerpt of Cordy! was filmed on the redressed set of Dharma & Greg (1997), to give it a "true sitcom feel". Tim Minear explains, "When you look at Charisma Carpenter, she does bear a resemblance to Mary Tyler Moore and she's so funny, and we all sort of had this fetish fantasy of seeing her on a brightly lit sitcom stage with people laughing at her jokes." However, the scene "wasn't quite as funny as we wanted it to be," admitted Mere Smith and so all but the opening credits were ultimately cut from the final episode, although the clip is available as a Deleted Scene on the DVD release.
- GoofsAfter becoming part demon, Cordelia feels no pain at all while she's having a vision, yet Doyle was half-demon and suffered excruciating pain when he had a vision.

Featured review
Average, just like the character it is focused on...
I never liked Cordelia. No matter the amount of character development she may have had. She never stopped being the shallow mean girl from BTVS. The only difference is now, she actually think she's the new Buffy Summers. This « what if » episode was entertaining, if not a little too on the nose. In an alternate universe, she's obviously a big star, in a very corny and surprisingly late 90s, for 2001 sitcom. Yet she still finds her way back to a destiny, that was supposed to be out of reach, had she'd chosen a different path. The ending, is absolutely in the line of logic to her upcoming storylines. So I don't understand the outrage, and the illogicalities some fans see in her last episodes on the show...
