Manor hall. Phoebe and Piper come a-clomping through the front door to find Zombie Rose using her newfound power to throw various sharp and/or blunt objects at the Dolt. Atta girl. The one detail that bugs is that she must say the name of the object first. This is going to get very tiresome, very fast, so I do hope said detail disappears quickly. Zombie Rose is convinced she's evil. The three are forced to wrestle her to the ground, where Phoebe and the Dolt hold her as Piper runs towards the stairs to pull an exorcism from the BoS. Before she hits the first set of steps, the lights throughout the Manor darken for a brief moment, heralding the arrival of The Shource. The beetle eyes roll into place, and he TKs Piper up a flight of stairs through the balustrade. He shoots another laser at Phoebe, but she levitates above it and moves to kick him in the head. He blazes out of her way, and she ends up vanquishing a cabinet, which then falls on her. From the landing, Piper blows The Shource up, but it's merely a temporary measure to allow them to regroup, as The Shource quickly reconstitutes himself. The Shource compliments the gals on the strength of their powers, but wonders if "they're enough, without the Power of Three." Hearing her boy toy speak in such manner puts Rose on edge, so The Shource switches into Shane's register, promising her eternal safety if she leaves the manor with him. Piper claims he's lying, and the Dolt reminds The Shource that Rose is still within the Mythological Forty-Eight-Hour Window Of Brad Kern Yanking This Out Of His Ass. The Shource counters that Rose has already chosen. To prove this, he begins to blaze into the forms of various other people from her life, each of them reminding her of the power she now possesses to exact revenge on all those she perceives to be evildoers. The last form The Shource takes is that of the child at the center of the abuse case, and I have to admit I'd be smacking the smug little bastard around myself. Rose, for some reason, is mesmerized by the sight of her boyfriend shape-shifting into her boss, a client, and an abused child, and takes the little blond monster's hand to be led down to Hell. Phoebe attempts to intervene. The beetle eyes flip into the little monster's head, and he sends Phoebe into the air, where she's suspended by a whirling coil of electrical energy. Rose takes one look at Phoebe's anguish and knocks the little blond monster to the floor.
