Episode Report Card Keckler: D+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Revenge of the Retard
By Keckler | Season 8 | Episode 12 | Aired on 01.14.2006
Outside, Sanchez grumbles that it's just like the Product-Placed Iraqi Vet is a completely different person all of a sudden. Of course, Piper is standing right there and overhears all of this, so she goes into the van with the hacked security camera feed. She sees Raige pointedly sweep her hand up and down over her face.
Back at the Manor, Phoebe bids all the sticky guests farewell. The San Diego Blonde is loud in her thanks for such a wonderful party just as Piper walks in, all business. The San Diego Blonde comments hyperly that Piper missed most of the party. "Yeah, I know, but what are you gonna do?" Piper responds. I totally giggled at that. After the San Diego Blonde is finally booted out, Piper explains to Phoebe that she thinks Lester the Possessor is controlling the Product-Placed Iraqi Vet, and that Raige is going to need their help. They both look over at the Psycho, who is sitting on G.I. Joke's knee and playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with the Cowboy. Huh. So, that's how the West was won. Piper wonders if the Psycho is safe with them. "More than you know," Phoebe promises. More than you know, honey. If any of those guys gets freaky, the Psycho will open his bloody maw and eat their faces. Piper and Phoebe leave the Psycho to play with himself while they deal with Raige's problem.Back at the BANK, the Retard continues with her potion making while Raige pleads with Henry to hang on. The PPPIV taunts Raige a bit about orbing Henry out. "Shaddup!" Raige orders him. The PPPIV goes on that Raige will never be able to forgive herself if Henry dies. Raige rubs at Henry and then a golden light emits from her hands. The PPPIV is all pissed. Raige is all shocked. The fans are all, "FINALLY! God." Henry coughs himself awake. The PPPIV looks around to see if anyone else caught that. They didn't. Henry wonders if he's dead. Raige tells him he's alive, and notes a small mark of blood on his shirt. So, she hasn't quite got the hang of the healing hands yet, which is handy in this situation, since it would be questionable if Henry walked out with no wound and no bullet. Given that he was shot from behind, it could make sense that there was no hole in his shirt. However, for there to even be blood on the front of his shirt implies that the bullet went straight through him; therefore the shirt should be as torn up as the exit wound. …Yeah, that's five minutes of figuring stuff out that I'll never get back. The PPPIV is pretty pissed. Raige walks over to the Retard and takes her hand while the PPPIV threatens to take Henry out right then and there. He orders them to stop him or else Henry dies. At Raige's cue, the Retard throws down her Coty powder, which explodes and sends up a smokescreen. There's a quick orb as Henry and the PPPIV cough and squint, but as the powder clears, Raige and the Retard are back. The PPPIV demands to know what they did, but when they are silent, he yanks the Retard toward him and takes her out of the BANK with him. Henry stands up and gasps. Raige (or is it?!) tells him the Retard (or IS it?!) knows what she's doing.
