Manor. The Ps enter with the lead witch, whose name is revealed to be “Jenna.” I’ll not be making a crack about underage First Daughters swilling cheap beer in seedy Austin nightclubs. Nope. Not me. Prue calls out for the Dolt. Phoebe explains to Jenna that the Dolt is both their Whitelighter and their brother-in-law. She’s sporting a nasty scrape on her forearm, presumably from the tumble she took into the bushes in the previous scene. Prue impatiently calls out for the Dolt again as Phoebe tells her to calm down. “I’m fine, really,” she insists. “It’s no big deal.” “Phoebe, it’s a huge deal,” Piper corrects. “Cole tried to kill you.” Prue explains to Jenna that Cole is both the demon who attacked them and Phoebe’s boyfriend. “We have very complicated lives,” Phoebe notes as Jenna nods her head all, “With you guys on my side, I am so dead by the end of this episode.” Or maybe it was me thinking that. She smiles gamely and admits that she always wanted to meet the Charmed Ones. Again I must ask why the witches of San Francisco lack a professional society or some sort of directory. It would make their jobs so much easier. Prue apologizes for the fiasco in the clearing, but Jenna’s cool with it. They saved her and the amulet, and that’s really all that matters. She inspects Phoebe’s wound and suggests applying a salve. She clasps her hands together at her bosom, bows her head, and asks, “Would you allow me entrance to your herb cupboard?” Shut up, Jenna. Prue translates the request for Piper, who leads Jenna to the kitchen. Phoebe and Prue sit on the sofa to indulge in some more nattering along the lines of “Cole’s a good guy. Really, he is. No, I mean it. He is.” Prue clearly has her doubts about all that, but keeps quiet. They agree that getting Cole away from the Bi Kraps remains a priority, then head into the kitchen. That little bit was most unnecessary, and I will never get those forty seconds of my life back. Thanks for nothing, ladies.
Kitchen. Piper removes a mason jar from the magically-restored cupboard while Jenna whips up a salve at the island. The gals admire her mad mixing skillz. Jenna modestly smiles at the compliments. She gathers a bit of the salve on a spoon and spreads it over Phoebe’s wound. The numbing effect is immediate. Phoebe wonders if Jenna would mind helping out with the Demon Be Gone. She’d be honored. Phoebe tells her they need to find billingsroot. Jenna’s face sets itself into a puzzled expression as she notes they have it right there in the kitchen. She retrieves another mason jar from the magically-restored cupboard. Phoebe tells Jenna she’s wrong -- what she has in her hands is ginger. Jenna: “Duh. Ginger is billingsroot, you moron.” Only she’s much more polite about it. Phoebe hugs her, telling Jenna she’s “healed [Phoebe] twice,” and asks Piper if she’d assist Jenna with the Demon Be Gone. Prue: “Why? Where are you going?” To the Mausoleum’s mausoleum to rendezvous with Cole and drag him back to the manor, of course. Prue and Piper are of the opinion the Colethazor is beyond all hope at this point. Phoebe tells them to can it. “Cole’s not the enemy,” she states flatly. “He’s the victim. And I’m going to save him.” Phoebe books out the back door. Jenna glances warily at Prue and Piper, who roll their eyes.
