Episode Report Card Owen: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Astral Monkey
By Owen | Season 2 | Episode 20 | Aired on 05.03.2000
Warehouse. A blowsy, big-boned woman is sitting behind a desk, fiddling with some car stereos she's fencing. Hey, where's her goatee? Is she supposed to be evil or what? The woman is hollering for someone named "Bobby." Dr. W appears in front of her, holding his organ donor cooler. Dr. W: "Bobby? Was that his name?" The woman gapes. Dr. W puts the cooler down and prepares to show her the telekinetic hand. Just then, he's flung against the chain link wall behind the desk. The Halliwells have shown up. Prue tells the woman to "get out." She scrams, but not before grabbing her stolen car stereos. Heh. Piper greets Dr. W and reasons with him, "You're sick. You're doing terrible things." Dr. W states that he's "saving lives." Piper informs him that he's hurting people. She comes closer to him with the bottle of elixir, telling him that it will make him better. Dr W looks at it, then TKs her against the wall. Then he TKs Prue against another wall. Phoebe confronts him, saying, "This is for the monkeys." She slugs him. He TKs her before she can get a "this is for my sisters" punch in. Dr. W walks out of the place, breaking the bottle of elixir under his heel as he departs. Piper raises her head and sees this.
Doesn't Julia Louis-Dreyfus look weird in that long distance provider commercial? Her eyes appear so far apart they must be in separate area codes.
Halliwell Manor. Night. Phoebe's wearing her wire-rim glasses, leaning over a city map, trying to scry out Dr. W's location with a crystal on a string. She's not having any luck because the scrying allegedly locates concentrations of supernatural power. Since Dr. W has the same gifts as the Charmed Ones, the crystal keeps hovering over their street. Piper, increasingly concerned, asks her to "keep trying." Prue wants to talk about "what [they're] going to do." Piper insists that they have a plan; they'll give Dr. W the elixir. Pheebs reminds her that the elixir is gone, and they don't have any ingredients to make more. Besides, they'd never get it into him. Phoebe's taken her glasses off to emphasize her dramatic point and show off her eye make-up, including the false eyelashes she's sported in the past few episodes. Piper rationalizes, "He was my doctor. He tried to save my life, remember?" Prue reminds her that he just tried to murder them. Phoebe adds that he's probably out there killing more people as they speak. Prue believes that Dr. W is "one innocent we might not be able to save." Piper insists that Dr. W just "needs help." Prue, a bit patronizingly, replies, "I know that, honey." Piper: "What are you suggesting?" The callous Ps look at each other. Piper sees the writing on the wall: "You guys want to VANQUISH HIM? He's not a demon, he's a human being!" Prue: "Not anymore." Piper: "We can't use our powers to punish, remember?" Il Pruce tells Piper that she'd better fall into goose-step. All she has to do is "freeze him"; the callous Ps will finish the job. Just then, Leo walks up to the sisters. He's sorry, but there's "no [other] way out of this one." Piper wails, "I don't believe this!" Phoebe's scrying crystal stops at a position on the map. They've found Dr. W. Piper wears a pained, conflicted look.
