A mushrooming fireball engulfs the lower part of The Source's body, pushing him upwards towards the ceiling as a heated wind races through the attic. After a moment, The Source collapses into the flames, which explode in one final burst before disappearing with the demon. We get a matching set of reaction shots from Piper, Phoebe, Raige, and The Collow before D'Eartha rays into the attic with the OZ. She flips open the lid, and The Collow drops to his knees. The Hollow pours from Cole's mouth into the OZ. The first time I saw it, it was pretty effective. By the third time, however, it looked like he was projectile vomiting refried beans. D'Eartha slams the lid shut and calls for Phoebe to join her in reciting the OZ's inscription. Phoebe looks to Cole for guidance. He tells her to trust D'Eartha. Phoebe moves to her side, and the two intone, "Aboleo extium cavium du eternias," which is Latin for, of course, absolutely nothing. The OZ doesn't seem to realize it's gibberish, though. It floats into the air from Phoebe and D'Eartha's hands and emits a blinding white light that sends it straight back to The Hollow's crypt. The cast-iron doors swing shut as the light gradually diminishes and snuffs itself out.
Manor parlor. Raige grabs the Dolt's hand, combining his power with hers to knit up that nasty rip in his sweater. Piper, still sporting those crimson lacerations on her face, joyfully kneels by the Dolt's side. Cole -- or is he? -- trails into the room with D'Eartha. Phoebe thanks D'Eartha for her help. D'Eartha reminds Phoebe that she didn't assist the Glamorous Ladies for their sake, but rather for her own. Raige has a question: If the powers of the Ps reentered their bodies when The Hollow was returned to its crypt, where did the powers of The Source go? Not to mention Spike and Blaine, though Raige neglects to include these two in her query. D'Eartha smiles and answers with a hint of mock-innocence, "Into the void." Get it? Don't worry. They're certain to beat us with this little plot development until our skulls cave in before the season's out. D'Eartha rays back down to Hell. "Who was that?" Phoebe asks. Cole gets a delightfully devilish glint in his eye and smirks, "That was a very [Eeevil] person."
