Police precinct. Darryl "Inspector Blah-get" Morris is on the phone with Prue. There's much arrest-procedure hubbub going on around him as he shoves a perp roughly into a chair while blathering to her about the recent "civil disturbances." He thinks "the whole city's lost it's friggin' mind." You know, Darryl, the people in the riots are only flying off the handle like you have been doing most every episode this season. Chew on that for a while. And shut up. Darryl tells Prue that crimes involving "violence, looting and arson" are on the upswing; is this being caused by "you know what"? Prue: "Possibly. We're researching that." She asks where the "latest hot spot" is. Darryl looks concerned.
Riot scene. Piper's SUV pulls up. Oh no! The huge crowd in front of P3AD has turned ugly and they're "doing the right thing" to the nightclub! Woo hoo! One of the rioters is carrying around Paula Cole's head on a pike! I'm stirred back awake by the sound of a siren onscreen and I see the Ps walking into the thick of the riot. It's taking place on a nondescript soundstage street. The sisters are all still in their clubwear, and the docile Ps are wearing open-toed platform sandals. You know, if I knew I was leaving my house to attend an urban uprising, I would definitely dress more sensibly. Where are your steel-toed construction boots, Piper? Isn't this a good time to bring them out? The Ps clutch each other and walk past overturned vehicles. Then an extra holds one of those big fake plastic rocks you see in stuntman displays at amusement parks over his head and hurls it in their direction. The HELL? Phoebe, freaked, wails, "What is WRONG with these people?" Word -- if she means the folks in production. Piper says she can't wait to "kick [Green Tie's] butt." During the disturbance, Prue is separated from her sisters. She wanders about past the looters and the cops and the fires, and spots Green Tie. GT runs. Prue follows. What, no Astral Prue this episode? Shannen looks pretty comical sprinting around in her outfit like SuperGeisha. GT pops into an alley and meets up with the other Ts. Prue stops and realizes, "There's four of you." Orange Tie grabs her. The docile Ps run up. OT: "Stop or I'll snap her neck." The Ts begin to chant. The docile Ps, facing the Ts with Prue and OT standing in between the groups, start their vanquishing procedure. Piper and Phoebe simultaneously Hallmark: Sower of discord/ Your works now must cease/ I vanquish you now with these words of peace. Piper tosses some white powder on Prue and OT, and they both disappear in a white beam. Piper calls out for Prue. The Ts gape. Phoebe: "What just happened?" Piper: "I think we just vanquished our sister."
