Cross-fade to Prue, tossing restlessly in her bed. She's intercut with a series of roaming shots of that grungy biker bar she mentioned earlier. The roving biker-bar shots eventually settle on a furry greaseball who resembles a much younger Harvey Keitel. Harvey, leaning against a wall with a pool cue, says, "Lucky shot." Bad-Girl Biker Prue at the pool table lines up another shot and replies, "The more I play, the luckier I get." I realize I'm seriously jumping the gun on a "shocking" plot "twist," but I have to reveal at this point that Sleepytime Prue is actually Special Ed Prue, and her AP self is hanging with the greaseballs in the bar. Trust me, this recap will become as convoluted as this subplot is if I try to proceed otherwise. Anyway, AP Prue sinks the eight ball, and tells Harve he now owes her twenty dollars. Harve tells AP Prue to get lost. And here comes Dana Ashbrook to the rescue. Bobby Briggs tells Harve to pay up, or Bobby will take him "out front" to teach him a lesson. Harve relents, despite the fact that he could probably snap Bobby in two like a twig. AP Prue thanks the greaseball and slides the twenty into her bra over her left breast. Bobby sidles over in front of her. Bad-girl-bad-boy "banter," with AP Prue telling Bobby he's mistaken if he expects a reward for helping her, and Bobby telling AP Prue he might just "take" his reward anyway. They mack, then break apart, smiling at each other. Bobby apologizes for being late. AP Prue accepts the apology, but tells him she has to leave anyway. AP Prue's wearing a dangling feathered roach clip as a necklace again, by the way. It looks like it's trying to burrow into her cleavage. Bobby bitches about AP Prue always ditching him in favor of her "responsibilities." AP Prue tells him she'd "love to leave [her] responsible half behind," but she can't. Bobby's not having it. He urges her to blow off work in the morning if that's what she's worried about, and adds, "There's a freedom that comes from making your own choices. I know." Thanks for that, Baghwan Bobby Sri Rajneesh. AP Prue allows she'd like to "know" that freedom as well, but she can't. She kisses him again, then makes her way out of the bar. Bobby calls after her, asking for her name. AP Prue ignores him.
Outside, AP Prue strides over to the side of the bar, where she's accosted by Harvey. Harve wants his money back. AP Prue tells him to cram it. Harve leers and says, "Maybe I'll just take it out in trade." Ew. Harve tries to grab AP Prue, but she counters by landing a kick to his head that sends him flying back a bit in the parking lot. As he rises to his feet, AP Prue latches on to a metal rod and swings it into Harve's ample beer gut. Harve goes down like a ton of bricks. AP Prue strides over to him in triumph, but before she's allowed to gloat, she glows up and disappears, dropping the rod (and presumably the twenty-dollar bill) at Harve's side. Cut to Special Ed Prue, who startles awake when AP Prue rejoins her. Reconstituted Prue pants and glances around a bit, and we cut to the credits.
