Back from break, Piper's in the kitchen, sipping champagne and calling in an order to Bloomingdale's for designer clothing and accessories. Designers mentioned include Armani, Gucci, and Prada. Prue attempts to cut in, but Piper tells her to cram it. Prue overhears the amount of money involved in the purchase, and hangs up the phone before Piper can complete the order and "ruin [her] credit rating." "Leo needs suits," Piper pouts. "Leo doesn't wear suits," Prue reminds her. "Yet," Piper counters, and offers Prue some champagne. Prue can't believe Piper is drinking in the middle of the day. Piper tells Prue she decided to "indulge" a bit because "this sin thing" was "bringing [her] down." Prue fills Piper in on what she's been up to while Piper's been swilling wine. The "Sin balls," as those of us who actually bothered to read the BoS entry already know, destroy their victims in a matter hours. "Good thing we weren't infected," Piper notes as she pops a chocolate into her mouth. Prue tried to scry for Kenickie's next victim, but the pointer kept "going back to the manor" on her map for some odd reason. When did this show become Clueless? Phoebe stomps into the kitchen to relate the sordid tale of her most recent academic humiliation. Her professor kicked her out of class. Why? She doesn't know: "One minute I was telling him why my paper was late and the next thing I knew, I was unzipping his pants with my teeth." Piper didn't need to hear that. I didn't either, really, but compared to some of the horrific mental images Piper's inflicted on me this season, Phoebe's transgression is comparatively mild. Prue finally puts the pieces together and correctly guesses that her sisters were indeed infected with the Deadly Bath Beads. Piper, her mouth full of pie, looks upwards and calls for the Dolt. Prue reveals that the Dolt actually has parked his ass on the parlor sofa.
