Anyway, Prue quickly makes a deal with SlutDolt. The sisters will suffer SlutDolt to live and will hand over the magic green bottle if SlutDolt revives DeadPiper. SlutDolt considers this for a moment, and agrees. SlutDolt repeats the incomprehensible Latin of Piggy. When Piper awakes with a gasp of surprise and pain, Prue tosses the magic green bottle at SlutDolt, who moves to a corner of the room and crushes the bottle beneath his/her/its foot. Phoebe and Prue huddle with Piper on the couch and begin to recite the earlier dispossessing spell. SlutDolt attempts to stop them with a bolt of alchemist energy, which Prue deflects to the mantel mirror, shattering the glass. The sisters finish the spell, and SlutEssence pours from the Dolt's body, coalesces briefly, and then explodes. The Dolt leaps into White Lighter action when Prue informs him that Piper is still bleeding, and his special tingly touch mends both Piper's wound and the tear in her red PVC slut top. Piper and the Dolt embrace as Phoebe and Prue look on.
P3AD. The reunion has wound down, and the Ps enter with the Dolt as Prue expresses her regret that Piper missed the party. Banter and the weekly summation as Prue uncaps a round of Miller Genuine Draft longnecks for the foursome -- a total shout-out to me, because MGD longnecks are what I turn to for comfort after watching this crap. Alcoholics Anonymous be damned -- this show would knock Bill Wilson off the wagon. Piper thanks the Dolt for recognizing the difference between her kisses and those of the Slut, and then thanks Prue for figuring out a way to vanquish the Slut, even though it involved killing Piper first. Phoebe excuses herself to call Darryl about the dead yuppie in the alley. Leo follows her as Justin walks up, looking for an explanation of the catfight earlier. Prue flirtatiously tells him he'll receive an explanation when he calls her. Justin blushes and walks away as Piper teases Prue about her "no younger guys" rule from earlier. Prue playfully tells her to can it, and they toast to the joys of scoring with younger men.
A tiresome little scenelet follows at the pay phone. The Dolt tries to comfort Phoebe about Cole, and Phoebe nearly confesses to the Dolt that she let Cole go. That's it. And let me tell you, this guilt and grief over Cole and Phoebe's deep, dark secret is getting really old, really quickly. If they drag it out further than one more episode, I will be putting my foot through the television screen. The episode ends with a close-up of the Dolt's face as he watches a retreating Phoebe with concern.
