Just then, Prue bursts in the door behind Dan. The horrific events of the night before have put white streaks in her hair. Or maybe Shannen's just trying to bring back extreme foil highlights single-handedly. Good luck, babe. She says hey to Dan. He leaves, woefully. Piper: "This never gets any easier." See, hon, that's why you need to continue to dump on Dan as much as possible. Practice, practice, practice! Soon it'll be as natural as breathing. The hard Ps hug and join Leo in the parlor. Piper asks Prue what's the sitch at No. magazine. Phoebe, wearing cut-off overalls and a do-rag tied on her head, plops herself in the armchair with Prue and asks her if she told off the "demon of crankiness" again. Prue says that wasn't necessary, because Photo Ed liked her candid shot of Finlay glowering on the stairs so much, he's printing it. PE said it was "the first picture that captured the real man." But we all knew how that subplot would play out anyway. Next! Prue then awkwardly segues into her decision "never to see another horror movie again." She takes a video copy of Kill It Before It Dies out of her bag and presents it to Phoebe as a surprise gift. Pheebs squeals in delight and goes to watch it immediately. Aw. Piper: "Should we worry?" No. Prue thinks that Pheebs is "just saying goodbye."
Phoebe's room. Pheebs lies on the bed and watches a scene featuring Billy and Poodle Skirt Girl. He tells her, "As long as I'm with you, everything's going to be A-OK." Phoebe mouths the dialogue along with him because she knows it all by heart. Sniffle. Poodle Skirt Girl asks Billy if he promises. Billy: "I promise." The couple walks off, hand-in-hand. I kept waiting for Billy to wink at Phoebe or something, but he doesn't and the moment stays bittersweet and realistic. Once again -- aw. Fade out. End.
