Snidely's study. The Snidelys confer over a game of chess. Long story short, Our Snidely intends to send Phoebe and Raige through the portal into Bizarro World while Bizarro Snidely keeps his version of the sisters on his own side of the mirror. This will somehow result in both Pipers falling into labor a couple of days early, or something, thereby facilitating both Psychos' untimely demise at the hands of the Snidelys. Gah. I don't understand any of this. If the Pipers give birth a day earlier than they're supposed to, wouldn't that lead to the destruction of both Big Chrises? And how is jamming up Bizarro World with five Charmed Ones going to make it easier for Bizarro Snidely to off the Psycho? Whatever. The supposedly relevant point to all of this is that the presence of two Raiges and two Phoebes in one world threatens to upset the balance in both, so whatever course of action the Snidelys pursue must be a quick one. Our Snidely takes Bizarro Snidely's queen by telekinetically sending one of his knights to shatter the piece. I've totally seen that effect before somewhere, but I'm not going to waste time trying to remember because I've got a Phoebe to deal with. Our Phoebe bellows for Snidely from out in the hall. Bizarro Snidely notes there's "no echo," which both Snidelys interpret as a good sign, for it means the Bizarro Gals have remained in the Bizarro Manor as Bizarro Snidely told them to do. The Snidelys break for the next round of manipulation.
Our Snidely arrives in the library to greet Phoebe and Raige, who inform him that they've trapped the Pinhead and Even Gayer Big Chris in one of the classrooms, from which they can't for some reason darklight out. Snidely convinces Phoebe and Raige that their Bizarro counterparts have likely done the exact same thing, and so the easiest way to get the Bizarro Boys to cooperate is to have the Bizarro Gals enter our world to escort the Bizarro Boys back to theirs. God, I hope that made sense. It did in my head, but seeing it typed out makes me question my sanity. In any event, this of course requires Phoebe and Raige to enter The Bizarro World themselves to fetch the Dolt and Big Gay Chris. Trusting Snidely, the gals agree to the plan. "Get Piper," Phoebe orders Snidely. "We're gonna need the Power of Three."
Cut to Bizarro Not!warts, where the chalk triquatra flares and enlarges to disgorge Phoebe and Raige. They see a lot of medieval armor and weaponry but no Bizarro Piper, and so quickly realize something's wrong. Bizarro Snidely announces his invisible presence by hurling a Flaming Ball Of Death at their heads, which the gals dodge by ducking. Bizarro Snidely materializes to approach them with a hissy "What are you doing? You're not supposed to be here!" Phoebe and Raige spin around in time to watch the portal flare shut.
