Cut to Cole's office, where he's studying his Halliwell dossier as the phone rings. It's Phoebe, who had planned on getting his voicemail this late in the evening. More "cute" "banter," with Phoebe hoping Cole doesn't think she's a "drunk lunatic" for calling at this hour, Cole insisting he prefers to think of her as a "mystery," Phoebe claiming she'll let him go so she can be mysterious, and Cole stating, "I'll call you." "I'll answer," she replies, and falls back into a chair in a Cole-induced swoon. Cut to Cole's office, where he leaps to his feet, hissing, "Yes!" He orders his shadow to report to the Triad that he's "getting closer," and Shadow Cole slithers down the wall to disappear through a heating vent in the floor. Cole sits back in his chair, twiddling his thumbs in his lap while plotting his next demonic move, as we fade to black.
Next week, the Ps travel back to 1700 to ensure that the Halliwell line survives the era's witch-hunts. Yes, it makes absolutely no sense. Just go with it. It looks like it's going to be a hell of a lot more interesting than this episode, and I have the added bonus of not having to resist cheap fairy jokes.
