The Loft Formerly Known As Chez Raige. Calf-Length Kathy asks the Dolt how much longer she'll need to remain in hiding. The Dolt reminds her that each member of her coven is in danger until the Garthalike has been vanquished, so all of the Triple Crescents should lie low until said danger has passed. Kathy's cell phone chirps, and she begs the Dolt's pardon to answer. It's the Garthalike, who addresses Kathy as "Ms. Coleman" and identifies himself as "A.D.A. Sykes." He lies that new evidence has been unearthed in the investigation into her friend's death, and that he would very much appreciate it if she could stop by his office right away to review it. Kathy looks to the Dolt for approval, which he grants. Kathy agrees to meet the Garthalike shortly.
Manor. On the sun porch, Emma dangles the scrying crystal over the city map from the blade of her dagger. The dark demonic force she seeks is still in the area, but she can't get a definite read on his location. Phoebe fruitlessly searches the BoS for a relevant entry. Cole inquires as to the manner of the Garthalike's departure. Phoebe notes that the Garthalike squiggles "like Belthazor," which Cole should have guessed, given that he already identified the dagger as originating from within his former fraternity. The scrying crystal attaches itself to the corner of Prescott and Pine. Phoebe, as alarmed as her addled little head ever allows her to be, realizes that the demon must be in the house. Do you see where they're going with this? Good, because I don't want to have to call you a moron. Cole dashes off to check upstairs. Phoebe and Emma are to gather the other Ps to prepare for a possible attack.
Calf-Length Kathy and the Dolt meander down the hallway to the Garthalike's office. In a startling display of continuity, Kathy has Phoebe's jacket slung over one arm. The Garthalike emerges from his lair and is a bit taken aback by the presence of the Dolt. He quickly covers his surprise and asks the Dolt whether he'd mind waiting outside while he interviews Kathy. The Dolt readily agrees, and the Garthalike escorts Kathy into his office, shutting the door behind them. The Dolt reaches for a magazine, but just barely catches sight of Shadow Cole slithering under the door after the Garthalike. The Dolt orbs into the office just as the Garthalike tosses Kathy up against the wall to knife her. Dolt fu ensues. (Dolt fu is a registered trademark of Subster on the forums. Just so you know.) He chops the Garthalike on the back of the neck and orbs out with Kathy. The Garthalike rises from the floor, enraged.
