Over in the locker room, Raige passes a slip of paper to Piper. Piper recites the following while setting the sheet alight with a candle on the coffee table:
Guiding spirits,
Hear our plea.
Annul this magic.
Let it be.
Nothing happens. InvisiPhoebe: "Can you see me?" Piper: "Not even your breasts." I want to laugh, and yet I find I can't even smirk. So sad when an episode drags one's spirits down like this. Well, it's either that or the Botox, I suppose. Raige despairs. That was the last reversal spell they found in the Book. InvisiPhoebe thanks the gals for their worthy effort and decides they'd better call off the ceremony. Just then, The Sole raps his knuckles on the door. Piper and Raige exit discreetly so Julian McMahon can have a private conversation with a floating bouquet, a floating handkerchief, and a floating hand mirror. InvisiPhoebe drips InvisiSnot as she snuffles that she wanted the perfect wedding, not for herself, but for her beloved. The Sole awkwardly embraces his naked InvisiFiancée and agrees to postpone the proceedings. Piper and Raige clomp back in to announce that they've figured out a way to save the day. Piper hustles The Sole out to the chapel, instructing him to inform the quartet that they can begin the processional. The Sole makes a few "whuh?" faces, but steps out of the room as ordered.
Raige and Piper address an empty chair. Raige's brilliant plan? To transfer the invisibility from Phoebe to herself. Not only will this allow Phoebe and Cole to marry as planned, but it will also prove that Raige in no way wishes to stand between the couple and their stated goal of nuptial bliss. InvisiPhoebe InvisiSniffles her InvisiThanks.
Out on the chapel portico, the Ds plus The Sole natter about the delay and the guests who have already decided to bail. What? How rude! You're telling me that if a wedding is delayed for more than fifteen minutes, the guests are free to leave? Whatever. The groom and his men break from their huddle to head into the chapel proper. D'Eartha silently appears behind them and asks, "Aren't you going to seat me?" Daddy Dearest offers to escort her inside, but The Sole tells Daddy he'll handle it. The Sole offers D'Eartha his arm, and she links her own through his with a smile. "They'll recognize you," he grits, sotto voce. She ignores his admonition. "You never contacted me. Did your potion work? And did they use the spell you thought they would?" The Sole answers yes to both questions. If that's the case, D'Eartha would like to know why the wedding hasn't been canceled already. The Sole admits that the Ps might have found a way to reverse his magic. D'Eartha shoots him the wicked side eye and asks, "And did she find an obedience spell to make you do as she pleases?" Oh, no she didn't! Woo! Who's whipped? Yeah, that's right, Sole baby. You are. The Sole smiles tightly and breathes, "Don't forget who you're talking to," as D'Eartha settles into a pew towards the back. The Sole spots Piper taking her place at the altar as the string quartet slides through one of the Brandenburg Concertos. He leans down to D'Eartha's ear and instructs her to retrieve Coolio from Hell. If Coolio attacks Our Lady Of The Dead Heathers, the gals will halt the wedding "to save innocent lives." D'Eartha waits in her place for a moment until The Sole has moved away, then stands to exit the chapel.
