Attic. The windows are leaking from the onslaught of rain, and a puddle is forming in the shadows on the floor. The Book has nothing to say on the matter of Limbo, much to Piper's irritation. Phag sits off to the side, gazing into a small glass bowl of water. Gold-Tooth Charlie, she explains, could see into other worlds by staring into a bowl such as hers. Yeah. After he split a bag of mushrooms with Aaron Sorkin, maybe. "Once," she relates, "he reached in and pulled out a plum for me from the Garden of Eden." Shut up, Phag. The Dolt asks her if she can see anything at the moment. No, for she is not as skilled in The Mystical Ways Of Whatever as Gold-Tooth Charlie. The Dolt orbs out for a consult with The Powers That Be on the topic of portals into Limbo. Piper sits at the table and the two women bond over losing a loved one and filling said loved one's shoes and blah and blee and stages-of-grief-cakes. Thunder crashes. Piper rises, inviting Phag to follow her downstairs. "With all this rain," she notes, "we need to protect the house from [Not Cho]." The camera lingers on them as they exit; then the shot cuts to take in the puddle from the rain. Not Cho leaps up through the puddle into the attic, all slit-eyed stereotype of Mongol-Horde Eeevil. He poses with his sword for a moment, and we cut to commercial.
