Prue asks Piper if she's okay. Piper says she's fine, then rather inexplicably announces she "can't believe how close [she] came to sabotaging [her] own wedding." The others, having no idea where this bit of character-related contrivance is coming from, ask her to explain. Piper pouts out some heretofore-never-revealed nonsense about coming thisclose to canceling the wedding outright, due to demons and the antics of TPTB and whatnot. "I told myself that if one more thing went wrong," she exposits, "then it just maybe wasn't meant to be." Again, she must have told herself this all of five minutes ago off-camera, because this is the first I've heard of it. Grams pooh-poohs Piper's entire line of thought, and Prue asserts that she will "personally butt-kick any demon" who attempts to halt the ceremony. Prue yawns again, leading Phoebe to note that Prue won't be very good at the butt-kicking if she doesn't get some shut-eye. Phoebe orders Prue to bed as Tinkly Wagner makes another appearance on the soundtrack. "I'll see you tomorrow at four o'clock," Grams promises Piper, adding pointedly, "Mrs. Halliwell. The women keep their names in this family." I hate to bust on Grams, because Jennifer Rhodes plays her as the perfect WASP dragon lady, but I have to wonder why, if the women do keep their surnames, the sisters don't go by "Warren." Maybe they switched to Halliwell when it was decided all the women had to have precious and twee forenames like "Penny" and "Piper." Anyway, Grams shoots a sly smile Piper's way, and the glowing golf balls swirl around her to whisk her back up to Heaven. Or wherever. Piper smiles and sighs, then walks through the hallway, once again evaluating the decorations.
