Cut to the interior of the Historical Society, where a banner welcomes the "centennial visitors." Centennial of what? An eagerly helpful researcher fills Phoebe in on Benjamin Turner. While he died as previously noted in 1888, there is no record of his wife's death. We get a shot of the obituary that apparently ran when Turner died, and it looks a little too sophisticated, graphically speaking, for a San Francisco newspaper of the day. For what it's worth, Turner was a state assemblyman at the time of his death. Phoebe asks about Turner's son. Susie Research confirms the Turners had a son named Cole, who was born in 1885. Though the society has no record of his death, either, Susie Research doubts Cole would still be kicking it at the age of one hundred and fifteen. Like, ha ha. Not.
Manor hallway, 3:04 PM. I don't know if the time's important, but they chose to make note of it in a shot of the freshly-restored grandfather clock, so there you go. SlutPiper stomps in through the front door, which they apparently are still leaving unlocked despite their recent experience with Jennifer Abbey Leigh, and worries that Piggy will find her and kill her, but RealPiper refuses to divulge her powers to the Slut. SlutPiper hyperventilates a bit as she worries some more about Piggy. As SlutPiper stalks her way through the manor, scoping out the place, she carries on a conversation with RealPiper by way of various reflective surfaces in the different rooms. RealPiper tells SlutPiper to get out of her body, promising to help her avoid Piggy if she does so. SlutPiper says that she can't survive without a host, and she'd rather RealPiper's soul die than hers. You can tell Holly Marie Combs is having more fun with all of this than she probably should, but, hey, it's her show. More power to her. SlutPiper comes up with a cunning plan to get Phoebe and Prue back to the manor so the three can get rid of Piggy once and for all. She dials Information, asking for the number to P3, and tells RealPiper she plans to cook up an imaginary demon to get the other Ps back to the house.
