Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Apocalypse Not
By Owen | Season 2 | Episode 21 | Aired on 05.10.2000
Horseman Headquarters. Leo follows Black Tie through the hallway. Bleach Blond Menial accosts Leo. Leo punches BBM out and drags him into a doorway.
Halliwell Manor. Parlor. Green Tie and Phoebe sit on the sofa, processing. GT praises Phoebe for not being "a common witch." Stop. Please. You're sweeping her off her feet. Not. Phoebe thanks him. Green Tie starts to explain his chanting. Phoebe coyly wonders if, since he's a "bad guy," he "wouldn't happen to be lying to [her]," would he? I often feel sorry for Phoebe getting stuck with so many loser love interests on this program, but then I lose sympathy at the point where she inexplicably starts flirting back at them. Ew. You could do a lot better, girl.
Headquarters. Leo walks into the pledge drive room. He's wearing BBM's outfit. Black Tie is bitching out the workers because the "numbers" are too low. BT loosens his tie.
Halliwell Manor. Kitchen. At the same moment, Yellow Tie loosens his collar also. Piper sees a small tattoo of the omega symbol on his neck. She asks him what it means. He ignores her question. Piper, unruffled, asks him point-blank what the four men are "up to." YT won't answer. Piper: "Well, we're working together, but we don't know what you are." YT sidesteps this question also, and says that the men "just want [their] partner back; it's completely business, like for you." Piper: "No, she's our sister; it's completely personal." YT chuckles at her "mortal weakness."
Parlor. Pheebs and GT, working and flirting. GT wonders if she's "ever been a demon." Phoebe says no. GT argues that he and Pheebs "aren't all that different." Phoebe, referring to the progress in her research, says she just figured out "how good and evil mixed together." GT: "To [sic] such powerful results!" Like, shut up, Demon-o Suav-ay. Suddenly we hear the chimes again, and Phoebe shudders. Prue-amecium floats down the stairwell, towards the spirit board that has been inexplicably moved downstairs onto a tabletop. Phoebe glances over from her vantage point and sees Prue-amecium push the marker around to communicate 4-H-O. Then the Horseman-ecium floats over and pushes her off the spirit board, knocking the marker to the floor. Somehow, Piper hears this HUGE RUCKUS in the kitchen and comes running out, asking Phoebe if she's okay. Phoebe says that she is, and that she's figured out how to reverse the vanquishing. They'll just reverse the participants' positions and chants. GT agrees to the plan. He suggests that everyone meet up in the alley at six-thirty, because the Ts have an "appointment at seven." They leave. Phoebe tells Piper about Prue's truncated message. Piper thinks it might mean "four hours" -- i.e., all the time Prue has left.
