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
And there they are, interrupting Dantalian right in the middle of the vows, turning up just in time to get their quirky words of "just cause" in edgewise. Dantalian stands behind a podium on which sits the BoS, and she tells the girls, "Too late. I got the book." Piper makes to make with the freezing threat, but Dantalian has a little trick she's learned, too. "I may not be powerful enough to fight you yet, but they are." She waves a hand, and Prue and Receding Hairline Baddy rise all hypnotically and walk toward the girls. Piper does that "hey, hi, you don't look so good" line from the promos I saw during all of the other WB shows I actually watch, and Phoebe continues on, "Oh, but that's a great dress." Except that it's now so sheer and ripped that it's the dress Samantha Fox wore in the video for "Naughty Girls Need Love Too." I keep expecting Phoebe to then turn to Zile and compliment him, "Oh, but that's a great hairline," as if to drive home the cruel irony she must have intended. Piper tries to play the "come with us, we're your sisters" card, but Prue knows her place: "I'm his wife, not your sister." Which are mutually exclusive conditions because…? Prue holds out her hands and sends the other two smashing into the walls. Phoebe rises and reiterates the need to get Prue back on their side, and Piper proposes, "How about we get her a divorce?" But Baddy then morphs into Prue and both Prues disappear and reappear in different spots all Superman II, Dantalian warning, "Wouldn't want to shatter the wrong sister, now would you?" because we wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. Except that we would have gotten it regardless. Prue #1 looks at Prue #2 and says, "I love you," and the other responds, "You too." Phoebe just then remembers that "Cole said that evil can't love," and trumps Piper's incredulous cry of "Cole?" by keeping with the matter at hand in jumping to the final page of the script just because the hour's almost up, continuing, "She didn't say, 'I love you too.' She's the warlock! Freeze her!" And so Piper does. The real Prue comes to and doesn't know where she is. Piper freezes Dantalian, and the three sisters run to the restored book and call out a chant that sends Dantalian into Kingdom Bad Special Effects forever and ever. Prue celebrates the fact that she was "the first to get married after all." It dawns on Piper. "Oh no, Leo." Phoebe reminds us why that's sad: "We killed him." Actually, I guess she doesn't really remind us of why that's sad after all.
