Manor parlor. Phoebe finishes explaining her vision as she, Piper, Raige, and the Dolt arrange themselves on various pieces of overstuffed furniture. Phoebe proposes that Piper and the Dolt contact Darryl to gain access to Mr. P, whose given name is revealed to be "Stan." Stan perhaps will recognize the Medusa's Head Of Flawed Continuity and be able to direct them to the real killer. There are O.J. jokes just waiting to happen throughout this episode, but as O.J.'s latest girlfriend turned up breathing despite promising initial evidence to the contrary, you'll have to make your own. Raige, for some dim reason, wonders if the Charmed Ones are in the business of capturing killers of a non-demonic nature. Raige? Yeah, over here. I've got a question for you. If Phoebe received a premonition starring the real killer, why would you assume the guy's human? I'll give you time to think about your answer while I continue with the recap. Slampiece Glenn wanders into the conversation at this point, looking for the kitchen. There's a bit of unfunny business involving what the slampiece may or may not have heard, and hey, what's Phoebe doing back at the Manor, anyway? Slampiece Glenn thought she had jury duty. Raige leaps to her feet to push him kitchenwards as Phoebe hisses, "Is he staying here?" Piper confirms this. Piper and Phoebe glare at each other.
Meanwhile, back at The Palace Of Justice, The Wop bangs impatiently on the bathroom door. Does he drop dead of a massive calzone-induced heart attack very soon? Because I just noticed he's got a chunky gold pinky ring in addition to all of his other strident wop-like accouterments, and I want him gone. A large black woman offers to fetch the bailiff just as Phoebe emerges to apologize for taking so long. "It's that time of the month," she overshares. The Wop grimaces in disgust. Shut up, Wop. He doesn't listen to me. He demands that Phoebe cast her vote on the matter at hand. Phoebe stalls, urging her fellow jurors to "consider the possibility that [Stan] might actually be a psychic." Revenant Ben looks lost. The large black woman rolls her eyes and purses her lips. Phoebe refuses to vote until she has gone over "every. Single. Piece" of the evidence. General groaning and dismay. Oh, can it. All of you. Try recapping this crap before you come at me with the groaning and the angst. Assholes.
Manor kitchen. Raige passes the slampiece a sandwich. The slampiece has been receiving a "strange vibe" from the goings-on in the Manor. He "overheard words like 'killer' and 'supernatural'" back there in the parlor. What's Raige gotten herself into? Raige is torn. Should she be honest with him, she seems to wonder, thereby abdicating her role as "mistress of secrets"? Damned if I care. Piper and the Dolt enter to let Raige know that they've arranged a meeting with Stan. Raige begs off, claiming she has to motor on over to the BLACK HOLE OF SOCIAL SERVICES. Visibly relieved to get away from the slampiece's prying questions, Raige darts out into the hall, followed by Piper. The Dolt grins awkwardly at Glenn before excusing himself as well. The slampiece munches ominously on a potato chip.
