With the heat of the Mimbos' argument rapidly escalating in front of him, Big Crafty Chris steals a glance at the Book. The triquatra embossed on its cover glows an encouraging red. Once the titular blondes start shoving each other around, the entire Manor shudders as if enduring a mild earthquake, and the outmoded chandelier above the Mimbos' heads shakes loose from its mooring to crash onto the floorboards. The three points of the glowing embossed triquatra split apart and vanish. As the Power of Three shatters apart, the Glamorous Ladies unfreeze. Big Casual Chris turns to Piper, hikes a thumb at Mange, and notes, "You should be able to handle these women now." Piper coolly clocks Mange in the jaw. Raige and Phoebe quickly do likewise to Moron and Midge, and the three titular blondes go down like, well, Jenny McCarthy, actually.
"How did you know they weren't us?" Piper asks, crossing to her son. "In all my life," he replies, "I've never seen you take the bait the way that witch took it from you." "In all your life?" Phoebe obliviously repeats. "You've only been our Whitelighter for two months." "Let's just reverse the magic," Big Adorably-Evasive Chris dodges, flipping the Book open to the appropriate spell before presenting it to Ma and the aunts. The gals read aloud from the page, and the bright white fairy lights stream from the Mimbos' unconscious forms back into the Glamorous Ladies.
Morning after the night before. After a brief closing travelogue, we head over to the Manor sun porch. While the Dolt terrorizes my husband's tiny self with ever more of those horrific baboon faces, Piper hastily exposits that the titular blondes are in Detective Darryl's custody for the death of the salesman, and that "they're [also] wanted in eight other states." She then graciously allows the Dolt to drop in anytime to scar my husband's tiny self for life, so long as she herself is not present in the Manor. She's certainly kinder about it than it comes across here, but I just want this multi-car pileup of an episode to end already.
