Phoebe collapses into an overstuffed chair and fills them in on her premonition. "What's taking so long?" shouts the Monkey Boy. Pippihontas tells him to shut it. Phoebe babbles a bit about the recent invasion of her uterus before the Dolt orbs in, in Action Dolt mode. "We got big problems," he pants. "Where's the wizard?" Pippihontas assures him they have the Monkey Boy situation under control, and fills him in on The Sole. "What's taking so long?" repeats Monkey Boy. Pippihontas howls, "Shoosh!" The Dolt tells the gals that if Monkey Boy is evil, he can use a spell in The Grimoire to vanquish the new Source. If that happens, Monkey Boy himself will become Hell's new leader, and he'll have enough power to resurrect "his people." Monkey Boy again yells, "What's taking so long?" Pippihontas makes to shut him down once again, but pulls herself up short with a puzzled look on her face. Understanding flickers across her face, and she growls as she stomps over to the sun porch, followed by Raige, Phoebe, and the Dolt. "Monkey Boy" rises from the wicker loveseat. "I can't believe we let that slimy Lord of the Rings wannabe use us!" rages Pippihontas. She flings her hands out and, rather than blowing up, "Monkey Boy" winks out in a golden glowy flare. Presently, "The Grimoire" does the same. Phoebe guhs, "It was an illusion?" "On a time loop, no less," Pippihontas groans. The gang realizes they have to come up with another plan quickly. Raige suggests they head over to the Casa Del Sole to ask the demon therein for advice, still not knowing, of course, that he is the focus of the coronation ceremony. Pippihontas nixes this idea, as Phoebe probably couldn't handle confronting him at this point. Phoebe raises a brow.
Down in Hell, The Sole is being fitted with his ceremonial robes under the watchful eye of D'Eartha. His demonic tailor is wearing a medieval crusader's helmet, and it's making him look like a shiny silver dildo. The Sole, distracted from the task at hand by thoughts of his wife, shrugs off his robes to go find her despite D'Eartha's strenuous protests. She argues that if he travels topside alone, Monkey Boy will leap at the opportunity to kill him. The Sole's not having it. If he can't have Phoebe, he doesn't want the throne of Hell either. This is the point where D'Eartha should vanquish his sappy cracker ass and rule in his place. Unfortunately, she chooses not to pursue that particular course of action. Rather, she announces, "If losing the witch has cost you your will, then I will get it back." The Sole, now down to the signature black turtleneck he wears so well, wonders what she means. D'Eartha silently and ominously rays out.
