Upstairs, Prue arranges herself on her bed and eventually dozes off. AP Prue materializes in the biker bar next to the payphones in the back. For the second week in a row, the ghastly image of Cher is conjured, this time through an actual poster behind AP Prue advertising the "Believe" tour. Unless this bar caters to a certain type of biker -- if you know what I mean -- I find it extremely unlikely that Cher poster would be used for anything but a dartboard target. AP Prue enters the bar proper, and Bobby runs up behind her. He fills her in on the morning's events. She denies killing Harvey, and Bobby tells her that's what he himself told the police. AP Prue asks Bobby why he stuck around after the police left. He tells her he's been waiting for her. He doesn't have her phone number, he explains, and he doesn't even know her name, but he wanted to be there in case she showed up. AP Prue decides this "is the sexiest thing a man's ever done for [her]," and I tell her she really needs to get out of the house more often. AP Prue and Bobby mack. Bobby decides this is the perfect opportunity for AP Prue to start living without responsibilities, and drags her outside to his motorcycle. The bearded biker from earlier eyes them as they leave.
Outside, Whip and a colleague pull up just as AP Prue and Bobby jump onto Bobby's bike. Bobby impudently guns his engine a couple of times. Whip tells Bobby to calm down. Another squad car enters the lot as AP Prue whispers in Bobby's ear, reassuring him she'll be fine. She dismounts after telling Bobby her real name. Whip cuffs her and leads her to his car as we cut back to the manor, where Phoebe attempts to rouse Special Ed Prue. Cut back to the parking lot, where Whip eases AP Prue into the back seat of the cruiser and shuts the door. Cut again to Phoebe, who succeeds in waking Special Ed Prue. AP Prue grunts out an "oh, no" and dematerializes from the cruiser's back seat. Whip opens the door to find the now-empty handcuffs as Reconstituted Prue gasps and bolts upright in her bed. Phoebe stares at Prue, who massages her wrists and mutters another "oh, no." Commercial.
Back from the break, Prue relates the events of her most recent "dream" to Phoebe. Prue can't get her mind off of Bobby, but Phoebe urges her to focus on the somewhat more important detail of Prue's arrest. Prue notes simply that Whip cuffed her, and that's about all she can remember. She does add, however, that the "dream" threatened to "overpower" her; she didn't want to wake from it. Phoebe draws a parallel between Prue's "dreams" and her own premonitions, noting that her visions "pull [her] against [her] will." Prue guesses someone or something is attempting to yank her into a "parallel world or dream dimension." Phoebe suggests they consult the Book of Shadows. As they head into the hallway, Phoebe wonders if they should tell Piper. Prue doesn't want this latest bit of trouble to derail that afternoon's ceremony, and insists that everything will be fine as long as she remains awake. The two agree again to keep their mouths shut "for Piper." Piper overhears this last bit and trundles out into the hallway. "What's wrong?" she demands. "Boy bands," Phoebe splutters. "There's far too many of them, don't you think?" In spite of my better judgment, I snicker. Piper's not buying it. She's been "demon-hunting for three years" with Phoebe and Prue, and can tell they're headed to the attic. Phoebe covers: "Yes, Piper, we were headed to the attic. To find something old, something new…" Prue, continuing with the lie: "Something borrowed and something blue." Prue tells Piper they wanted it all to be a "surprise," but Piper caught them. Piper gives them both the stink-eye.
