Reverse the spell from the Book
And please restore what was took.
Victor shoots her A Look. "I made it up when I was nine," Patty whatevers by way of response. The spell, shabby though it is, works well enough, and the sky-blue mojo exits the Glamorous Ladies to settle once more in the boys. Tiny Gay Chris wails instantly while the dead-eyed Psycho twists his demented little face into a pout. Brat. The gals quickly snap back into their adult selves while Victor confirms for himself that they remember everything that transpired while they were under the influence. The Ps, at Piper's prompting, dart up the stairs to figure out a solution for the current crisis as Patty smiles, "That's our girls." Victor's all, "Well, two of them are. The bastard with a taste for jailbait? Not my doing."
Some time later, Phoebe, Piper, and Raige huddle on the hall floor outside Prue Memorial, waiting for Doltbacca to return, which he eventually does. The ladies leap to confront him, with Piper flipping a no doubt hastily concocted potion at Doltbacca's feet. To the ladies' great consternation, nothing happens; nor are Piper's Hands Of Discontent effective when she unleashes them as her ex-husband's doppelganger bends to lift the Psycho from his crib. Doltbacca flashes out of there, leaving the Glamorous Ladies to confront the final commercial break alone. Piper is visibly panicked. Raige is visibly upset. Phoebe is...not much of anything, really. Vacant hag.
Bridal Boudoir. Aftermath. The three Ps power into the room to fret and jaw and panic and freak until Patty and Victor arrive with some bullshit psychological explanation for the evening's events. Basically, Teeth! has suddenly recalled that Piper experienced "night terrors" after her parents split up for the final time, and she believes Doltbacca is a physical manifestation of similar Psycho-related mental angst. And...we're going with it, because it's always so much easier when we just go with it. One unintentionally funny bit? Raige, incredulous, asks, "You're saying Piper is the cause of your divorce?" Victor mumbles, "It was...other things." Yeah, "other things" like that lippy love child your cuckolding wife pumped out courtesy of her alcoholic Whitelighter, am I right? Anyway, the Dolt conveniently arrives at this point to confirm that the Psycho views his father as "the bad guy," thereby explaining why the Psycho would conjure a remarkably Dolt-like antagonist. As, you know, a way of punishing himself for his parents' split. Or something like that. Does anyone really care? No? Didn't think so. Bottom line? They'll find the Psycho where the Psycho believes his problems began: Barbas's lair, where the Dolt sporked Snidely all those many months ago.
Underworld. A rather kindly Doltbacca assures the Psycho that what's about to transpire will doubtless lead to his parents' reunion. With that, Doltbacca steps aside to allow a sextet of those fanged flesh-eating creatures from the finale to advance upon the evil child. One of them, drooling, gets all up in the Psycho's face until it's sporked into oblivion by the just-arrived Dolt. The Dolt takes out three others as Piper deploys her Hands to dispatch the remaining two. As Doltbacca looks on, the Dolt races to the Psycho's side, and wow. I could not care less about this if I tried. Long story short, Piper and the Dolt vow that the Dolt won't be going anywhere anytime soon. The Psycho, for some reason, buys it, and so does whatever it is the Psycho needs to do to get rid of Doltbacca for good. Like I said: Not caring. The Dolt scoops the wicked brat up in his arms, and the Psycho's socks are just filthy from all that dirt down there in Hell. Piper's going to be bitching about those stains for weeks. By the way, apropos of absolutely nothing, the Psycho also looks like he unleashed a massive load in his pants. Hee.
