…now. Sort of. Piper tiredly shuts the front doors after the last of the yuppie couples have exited, and she and the Dolt yammer at the Psycho about what a good boy he was, with Piper adding that she only froze the room once during the entire party. They don't mention why Piper had to freeze the room, but I'm guessing the Psycho got into a non-verbal dispute with another of the rugrats over a chew toy and was on the verge of impaling his fellow brat with a telekinetically flung cake knife when his mother intervened. The kid's a lunatic, is all I'm saying. The Dolt deludes himself, claiming his elder son's murderous over-exuberance was due purely to the birthday party itself. Piper parries that the littlest Psycho "was excited to see you. He misses you." "I know," the Dolt breathes, gazing at the wee sociopath in his arms. "I miss him too."
Raige chooses this moment to amble in from the kitchen with an offer of more champagne. "We don't want it to go to waste," she adds. "How about it, Dad?" "Elders aren't allowed to drink," the Dolt replies, like, that didn't stop you from chugging down a couple of free Coronas at your ex-wife's bar, jackass. Shut up, Dolt. Raige persists, arguing that when the Dolt's "on Earth, [he] should do as earthlings do," but the Dolt declines once more. Piper thanks Raige for all the work she did on the party, but wonders what gives with all the champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and oysters on display. "Aren't the kids a little young for the aphrodisiacs?" Raige pretends -- badly -- not to have known about the supposed horny-making properties of the items Piper's just listed, babbles something stupid about how the Manor needs more kids running around underfoot so she might better understand their culinary needs, and whips around to retreat back into the kitchen. The Dolt wrinkles his nose at Piper. "She's been weird since she changed her hair color," Piper shrugs before adding after a bit of thought, "She'll probably change it back." And you know something? I totally didn't notice that Rose McGowan had dyed her hair a sort-of auburn brown until Piper let loose with that line. It's probably because I was distracted throughout that scene by Raige's hideous, yellow-and-grey tube top. Or maybe I was waiting for something of importance to happen. We're already two minutes in, guys. Get it moving already, will you?
