Manor hallway. Piper struggles with a sweater as she stomps to the front door. Phoebe asks her to stay, telling her they'll "find a way" to get through the current mess. Piper shoots back that she "shouldn't have to 'find a way' to get married on [her] wedding day." The Dolt offers more words of reassurance, but Piper's had it. She apologizes, claims AP Prue's antics are "the final straw," and flounces out. In the parlor, Victor places the unconscious Special Ed Prue on a sofa. Special Ed Prue twitches a bit, as if in resentment. Shut up, Special Ed Prue. Phoebe tries to rouse her, but Patty tells Phoebe she won't succeed. "A part of Prue wanted to escape," Patty explains, "and it used her astral self to do it." Grams takes her leave, explaining that she can't stay if the wedding is cancelled. Victor proposes that Piper is right -- that TPTB are indicating that the marriage is destined to fail. The Dolt tells Victor to cram it. Phoebe mewls a line about how Piper and the Dolt's "love has touched [them] all." Darryl's beeper chirps, and he leaves to "head off the posse." Victor asks Darryl to explain, and Darryl drops the bomb about the biker-bar slaying. Phoebe reminds them all that the Prue they know is incapable of murder. Cole asks, "Are you sure? Prue's astral form seems to have taken on a life of its own." Phoebe shuts Cole down, insisting she knows Prue better than he does. The Dolt finally leaps into action. He tells Patty and Victor to find Piper, he instructs Phoebe to research a spell to recall AP Prue, and he informs Cole that he and Cole will "do a little research of [their] own." The Polish Princess snorts and rolls his eyes at this, wondering when TPTB repealed the law that forbade Whitelighters and demons from working with each other. I tell the Polish Princess he's expecting far too much if he wants continuity out of this show. The five exit the parlor, leaving Special Ed Prue alone on the couch.
Biker bar. Cole and the Dolt squiggle and orb in respectively next to the payphones. How Frank and Joe Hardly knew to visit this particular biker bar in search of Harve's real killer is beyond me. They move slowly through the crowd, warily eyeing the assortment of white trash on display. Cole says he can "sense" the presence of a human killer. The bearded witness from earlier passes in front of the boys, wearing an Army surplus jacket. Cole tells the Dolt Army Surplus is "a killer," though he can't be certain Army Surplus is the murderer they're looking for. Cole sends the Dolt off to find Detective Darryl.
