High atop the Golden Gate Bridge, Raige bellows at the sky until the ever-useless Elder who threatened Daddy Dearest's life in the season premiere orbs in for a chat. Basically, Raige demands that he and his ever-useless brethren do whatever they can to get the Glamorous Ladies out of their current mess. He politely and patiently refuses -- not because the Elders have cut themselves off from the Manor Morons, as one might expect, but because, he argues, "the answers to [their] problems are not magical." "Everyone's after an amazing story, aren't they?" he prompts. "An extraordinary one? Just show them how ordinary you are. They'll go away." This counsel obviously leads Raige to stumble across a cunning plan, but she remains silent regarding its details for now.
Meanwhile, back at the Manor, Piper and the Dolt have retired to the Bridal Boudoir to piss and moan at each other. The Dolt's bruise from all of thirty seconds ago has gone missing for this scene, and as a result, all interest I might have had in what they're screaming at each other has left as well. This stupid show. Long, long bitchfest short, the Dolt's suddenly annoyed with the fact that he's turned into Mr. Mom while Piper's been off running the nightclub, and I have no idea where any of this is coming from, but I suspect it has to do with the fact that they're getting rid of Brian Krause after ten episodes this season and so must transform his character into a churlish lout so we won't miss him that much once he's gone. Or something like that. Hey, they pulled that crap with every other male character they've eliminated from the show, so why not him as well? Okay, so maybe they didn't do it to Andy, and Big Gay Chris managed to escape with his dignity intact, but Jack and Dan from the second season? Cole? Chronic The Hedgehog, Slampiece Buttfuck, and Secretly INSANE Brody? Yes. To all of them. And we mustn't forget the wildly out-of-character stupidification of Hot Zankou that preceded his exit. God, I hate this show.
