Before Rose can splutter, "And what the hell is that supposed to mean, jackass?" Fruma-Shax whirls his way through the front door, tossing the new Ps to the floor. He does that mouth-breathing, sideways-slither-shuffle down the hallway towards the prone ladies, but before he can fling them through a couple of walls, the Dolt -- get this -- leaps onto his back to ride him like a bronco. Silly Dolt. The new Ps take advantage of this intensely homoerotic situation to race to the attic. Fruma-Shax flips the Dolt into the parlor, rendering the Dolt unconscious. I am loving this, let me tell you. Fruma-Shax then heads for the stairs. Up in the attic, Piper drags Rose in her tottering open-toed heels to the BoS while Phoebe locks the door. Flipping through the Book, Piper instructs Rose to recite the vanquish with herself and Phoebe. "What are you, witches?" Rose asks incredulously. "Yep, and we're hoping you're one too," Phoebe replies. Fruma-Shax busts through the door at this point, growling like the Tasmanian Devil. The Tasmanian Devil rules, by the way. For the spell itself, see above. Shax swirls a bit in agony, then disappears into an explosion of yellow sparks, just as he did the last time they pulled this crap on him. "That's not enough," Phoebe breathes. "Shax was only the messenger. We've got to get The Source." Rose repeats, "'The Source'? Of what?" "Of all evil," Piper allows. Rose wrinkles her nose up in disgust. "What have you guys turned me into?" She spins on her heel and darts out of the attic. Piper and Phoebe halfheartedly follow behind, calling out, "Paige?" Cut to black.
