Nonexistent Attic. Zankou blazes in and approaches the Book of Shadows, which now, rather than flipping him halfway across the floor, merely erects a mojo bubble for itself much like the dead-eyed Psycho used to do back in the day. So, I guess this means it's weakened, or something. Yawn. "I guess I'm gonna have to kick things up a notch," Zankou muses to himself. You do that, doll. You do that. Also: DUN! Also also: Commercial!
Nonexistent Attic. Piper and Phoebe tiptoe into the nonexistent room, confirm that no zombies are currently lurking in the shadows, and call out for Raige, who immediately orbs in from Not!warts. As Piper believes Joanna's next on Zankou's zombification list, she sets Raige to scrying for the dead dingbat's corpse, and the crystal soon enough plows down upon a set of map coordinates located in the middle of one of the city's larger cemeteries. "Not good," Phoebe groans. Again: Shut UP, Phoebe.
Corpse Fucker's Underground Emporium Of Slightly Sticky Meat Puppets. Joanna's corpse lies on a bier in the foreground of the shot as Raige orbs into the center of the chamber with Piper and Phoebe, the latter of whom protectively clutches a vanquishing vial against her left Fun Bag. "Ohmigod!" Raige breathes, catching sight of Joanna's body. "That's her!" Zombanna immediately snaps open her milky eyes and grins, "Miss me?" Zombeese and The Timbie instantly appear behind the gals to make with the menacing and such, and why is Tim's previously blinding array of choppers so yellow all of a sudden? He's been dead for less than a day. Whatever. Like I care. The Glamorous Gals, thus surrounded by the undead, babble at each other until Corpse Fucker joins the party with three more zombies. Piper squints at the new arrivals and whispers, "Those are all innocents I've lost!" Of course, she identifies none of them by name, and so the emotional impact of her realization amounts to precisely nothing for the audience. Quite frankly, it seems to amount to precisely nothing for her, as well. Let's say I give her the benefit of a doubt and assume she already realizes what she'll have to do to get out of this situation, okay? And while I'm off on a tangent, has Piper even lost one innocent who left behind a corpse suitable for zombification? I mean, the vast majority of innocents on this show are immolated by Flaming Balls Of Death. Zankou's pretty keen bitchen and all, but I doubt even he could reanimate a dust cloud.
