In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.It's the day before Halloween, which means Eastwick is having another festival! This one involves coffins full of (metaphorical) demons, which will all go up in a giant festive bonfire. This is good fun for everyone, except for Joanna, who gets kidnapped by Pastor Dunn and put inside one of the coffins. Luckily, Kat causes a giant rainstorm just in time, and that means that Joanna forgives her for kissing Will.
Meanwhile, Bun turns out to have psychic powers, which surprises no one. And Penny is still a little ticked off about Kat hanging out with her new friends; and Josh is mad at Mia for being mean; and Will now wants to make out with Joanna, not Kat. I think that's most of the interpersonal stuff.
Oh! And after preventing a couple of possible deaths, it turns out that Roxie's funeral vision had to do with Chad dying when Darryl's statue falls on him at the end of this episode. So Chad's dead, I guess.
Want more? The full recap starts right below!Yet another festival? Geez, Eastwick has a lot of festivals. This one is Halloween-related. Remember that: this show is set the day before Halloween. It doesn't really come up, but I wanted to make sure you remembered it anyway. Roxie is giving a tour of Witch's Field, which is where 158 witches were burned to death in the Eastwick Witch Trials. This city sure celebrates its horrific past, doesn't it? Roxie's improvising the tour, because Bun is still a bit amnesiac. And she's coming along on the tour anyway, which is weird. I guess the idea is that exposing her to aspects of her life will help her remember it. Roxie directs everyone's attention to the festively decorated caskets, which apparently contain metaphorical demons to be burned up.
Darryl shows up as his minions bring in a coffin for the pyre. He and Roxie trade some vague sexual innuendo, and Bun kind of freaks out. She's scared, but she doesn't know why. Then Roxie hustles everyone back to the tour bus. But before they get there, Roxie gets another vision of herself and Mia at the funeral she saw last episode. Everyone thinks she's crazy. Except Bun, who calls the tourists ninnies and says "Can't you see that she's just been to a funeral?!"
Joanna is on her couch, eating ice cream from the carton and watching television. Sweet. She's mopey about losing her job and apparently feels bad about running Pastor Dunn out of town. "So, big whoop, he likes whores!" is her new attitude, as she explains to Kat, who's staying there too. She also feels bad about making Will hate her. Kat thinks if Joanna just apologizes to Will, everything will be fine. Say, whatever happened to those magic Hypno-eyes? Kat promises that Will will come around, and Roxie (who showed up at some point during this paragraph) adds "If he doesn't, I'll kick him in the taint!" Lovely. Joanna reluctantly agrees to give it a try.
Penny has a scene! She's trying to psyche herself up for waxing her armpits. She's interrupted by her secret Darryl Van Horne source, Jamie, the British guy who lives above Roxie's shop. She blames him for getting Joanna fired, because of all that false information she printed. Penny tells Jamie she will no longer be having sex with him (did that happen in the episode I missed, or is it new? Note to self: watch that episode, or at least find a site that has recaps -- hang on, I think I just had a brilliant idea). Penny rips out her wax paper.
