Phoebe enters the kitchen and interrupts them. Piper wearily asks her how the interview with Reese went. Phoebe relates the good news that Reese is not a demon, and then wonders if she can have a moment alone with The Human Dildo. Not like that. I hope. Piper tells Phoebe to "take a number," and The Human Dildo suggests Phoebe that go inside to meet Natalie. "Who's Natalie?" Phoebe asks. "She's a…" Piper begins, and The Human Dildo jumps in with "a fellow Whitelighter." The Human Dildo turns to Piper and says, "See? I finished your sentence." Piper: "That's not what I was thinking." Ba-dum-bump. That's Piper Halliwell, ladies and gentlemen. The spunky gal'll be here all week.
Back on the sun porch, Prue scries with a crystal dangling over a map of the city. Natalie opines that Prue is wasting her time, as scrying won't work on Beavis. Prue tells her she's not scrying for Beavis. She's scrying for Patty Hearst's power of deflection, "which technically is still alive." Phoebe enters and greets Natalie, who extends her hand for a shake with a warm smile. The crystal drops to the map at that moment, and Prue announces she's found the power's location in an industrial park. Phoebe notes Beavis's entry in the BoS, and wonders what's going on. Prue tells Phoebe they'll get her up to speed on the way, and calls for Piper and The Human Dildo. Natalie can't believe they're just going to rush unprepared into a potentially dangerous situation. As Prue shuts Natalie down, Phoebe picks up Beavis's dagger and is thrown into a vision. Beavis shoots a Flaming Ball Of Death at a bald twentysomething, who vanishes into a veil of fire. Prue wants details. Phoebe supplies them, guessing that the bald guy is a male witch. Prue starts patching together a plan of attack. As Piper and The Human Dildo return from the kitchen, Natalie again insists on caution, telling them all they must consult with "The Elders" before doing anything. After a brief discussion, Prue agrees, and sends Natalie up for information. Prue rallies the troops now that they've gotten Natalie out of their hair for a bit, and the four head off in search of Beavis.
SkyCam On Crack, shooting across the bay to a waterfront warehouse. Beavis sits inside, chanting, as the Halliwell SUV tears in. Prue leaps from the car and TKs Beavis back into a stack of shipping pallets. When he rises, Piper tries to freeze him, but he deflects her power and fades out with a bit of a glow. The glow indicates that he was actually a Beavis clone. The four stand around wondering where the male witch from the vision is. He orbs in at that moment, as he is not a male witch, but rather a Darklighter. The Human Dildo orbs out immediately. Phoebe kicks the Darklighter's crossbow out of his hands, then sends him flying across the room. Piper freezes the Darklighter in mid-air, and the Ps attempt to figure out what just happened. Beavis fades back in, tosses off a snarky comment about "missing all the fun," and tosses a Flaming Ball Of Death at the frozen Darklighter, who goes up in smoke. Beavis then fades himself over to the discarded crossbow, thanks the Ps for helping him acquire it, and fades out again. Phoebe, Piper, and Prue gawp as we cut to commercial.
