Episode Report Card Djb: C+ | 1 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Something Borrowed, Something Prue
By Djb | Season 3 | Episode 13 | Aired on 02.07.2001
Ring. Prue excuses herself to answer the phone, and Piper hauls Leo outside for a small spat about the plans. He thinks the whole thing is "a disaster waiting to happen." Blah blah "we don't need wedding planners, we just need us." He frets about guests who wouldn't be particularly chill with "a Whitelighter marrying a witch." Back inside, Phoebe makes it down the stairs as Prue hangs up with "Justin" (nudge, NUDGE), who called with a message that his Midlife Crisismobile broke down and she should meet him at the restaurant. Prue stops Phoebe and asks if they can talk about the "Cole Situation." Phoebe leaves abruptly. Piper blathers on about the wedding again, but Prue tells her she has to go meet Justin, but first, "can I have my lipstick back?" But Piper never borrowed her lipstick. Wait. I don't follow. Just kidding. Because I'm not four and I get it.
Down in Spike's Lair (oh, dang…see how this show is blowing holes all through my constant claims about the amount of WB whoring I do?), Phoebe calls Cole's name, and he stands up to greet her. Cole's back! Romantic history and once-celebrated shirtlessness in her now-jaded past, Phoebe reels back and slugs him right in the face. "That," she acts, "is for ruining my favorite movie and, oh yeah, my life, too." She's over him. She never wants to see him again. If she's me, she won't. Blah blee vanquish-your-sorry-ass-cakes. Heh. "Vanquish your sorry ass." Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is some ironclad break-up material, right there. She turns to leave, but he calls after her, "I took a huge risk coming out in the open to contact you. The least you can do it hear me out." His life since the non-vanquishing, it seems, hasn't been all fluffy white clouds and lollipops either. "I've been hiding this whole time, shimmering from realm to realm to realm to keep the Source from realizing you didn't vanquish my sorry ass." He thinks he's informing her of a damn thing when he lets her know that she's the only one who knows he's alive. She tells him that her sisters know. And Leo. Cole advances on her and yells, "Why didn't you just put an ad in the paper?" Scintillating dialogue about risking heart and soul ensue, and how good and evil cannot work together. Cole: "I can suppress my demonic half just like I suppressed my human half before we met. I can be good." David Boreanaz is all, "Hey, old man? Been there." See? See that with the cross-referencing? How much I know about TV? See?
