The Lair Of The Limey. The boyth thlam-danth with the ekthpothithion, and there's no way in hell I'm going to keep that shit up for an entire recap, so we'll restrict it to Thimon himself and perhaps his favorite word. Thimon, you see, is the type of demon who feeds on human dethire. I'm sure we've seen others of his ilk on this show before, but I can't be bothered to look them up. Big Gay Chris craftily offers Thimon the Charmed Ones, claiming he traveled from the future to make use of their collective power. However, as their more earthly dethirezth are now driving them apart, he has no further use for them. Desmond Askew gets a hammy monologue about the power of human dethire before quizzing Big Chris on his motives. Big Chris evades the questions by offering Thimon a slip of paper that purportedly contains the Glamorous Ladies' most deeply-held hopes for themselves. Keep that in mind when we arrive at the assery that is Phoebe's plotline later in the episode. Thimon, tossing caution to the wind as heedlessly as every other damn demonic force on this stupid show has ever done in the past, snatches up the paper and scuttles over to an open water-filled stone cistern at the center of his cave. "They'll die, you know," he states, unfolding the paper with what could best be described as glee. "Victims of their own dethirezth." "I'm counting on it," Big Chris notes, surreptitiously pocketing the bloody rag Thimon had been using on his shoulder. Big Chris orbs out with, "Good luck. And for the sake of both our lives, don't screw this up."
Thimon reads the first line of Big Gay Chris's list. "A normal life with normal friends, and no magic." Thimon grins and, stretching his good arm above the cistern, intones, "Ask, and ye shall receive." The surface of the water shimmers to display Piper toting Tiny Gay Chris through the center parlor to his playpen. The camera, which had leapt above Thimon's head for this effects shot, spirals down towards the cistern until the Manor scene flares out to fill the screen. As Tiny Chris blows snot all over Piper's blouse, a glimmering, golden wave of demonic mojo shimmies across the frame from left to right, knocking Piper and Tiny Chris unawares into an alternate dimension partly of Piper's own making. Piper glances around suspiciously and Tiny Chris fidgets once the wave has passed, as if they both realize something strange just happened. The doorbell rings, though, so Piper places Tiny Chris in his pen to answer it.
