"Figures that bitch would steal
Piper's thunder..."
-Phoebe
Early one evening
Phoebe munches her popcorn in bed, watching Kill It Before It Dies yet
again. Much to her surprise Cole appears on screen, using a little trick
he learned from the demon of
Illusion.
Cole is there to tell her that he's back.
Elsewhere at
P3 Prue and Justin have just finished their date, a little early. Prue
seems quiet as Justin arranges a lunch date with her the next day. Then
they tentatively kiss goodbye. As Prue walks back into P3, she doesn't
notice the guy in the shadows who seems to be watching her.
As Prue sits
down at the bar with Piper and Leo, Piper comments about her date ending
early and wonders if Prue will invite Justin to her wedding. But Prue thinks
Justin is far too predictable. Meanwhile Leo's still pushing for a small,
private wedding. Unfortunately Piper has already made an appointment with
the wedding planners and refuses to have a small ceremony. She gets up
to go to the back office and the strange guy follows her. As Piper disappears
behind the door,
the
man transforms into her.
Prue and Leo continue
to talk about the wedding. Leo's worried that Piper will be disappointed
if everything falls apart, which is likely when the groom is dead and a
ghost will be presiding. But Prue tells him that all girls dream of their
wedding days. She herself has been dreaming about it and seems a little
disappointed that her little sister beat her to it. As they chat, Piper
returns and asks for Prue's lipstick. Once she leaves the conversation
turns to Phoebe. Leo thinks Prue should let Phoebe off the hook about Cole.
But Prue seems reluctant.
Zile, the creepy
guy who transformed into Piper takes the lipstick to a dark priestess name
Dantalian. Using the lipstick Dantalian makes a potion that will paralyze
Prue as soon as it touches
her
lips. Then he can make her his wife, turning her evil. In addition Piper
and Phoebe will become evil along with the book. She puts the potion on
Zile's lips and sends him on his way.
The next day,
Piper, Prue, Leo and the wedding planners converge in the house. Piper
tells them that she wants a traditional wedding with fifty or sixty guests.
Leo seems surprised. And when the planners ask about their menu, Leo tells
them he'd like pigs in a blanket. Piper drags him out of the room as Prue
picks up the ringing phone. As they talk, Leo tells Piper that their wedding
is a disaster waiting to happen. After all how will they explain everything
to the guests. But Piper is determined to have her dream wedding.
On the phone,
Justin tells Prue that his car broke down and he'll meet her at the restaurant.
Phoebe comes down as Prue is hanging up. She wants to talk to Pheebs and
try and put the whole Cole fiasco behind them. But Phoebe quickly leaves
as Piper rushes in. She wants to know if her sister thinks she's overdoing
the wedding stuff. But Prue doesn't want to answer that question. Instead,
she asks for her lipstick back. Piper insists that she never took it. Prue
just nods, rather confused, and leaves to meet Justin.
Phoebe goes
to the mausoleum to find Cole. As soon as he appears, she punches him,
angry that he ruined her favorite movie, and oh yeah, her life. Cole tells
her that he risked a lot coming back to find her, that the Source would
be after him if he knew Cole was alive. But still he wants to try and
make
it work with Phoebe. He can suppress his demon half and be good. Phoebe
tells him that it's too late.
Back at home,
Phoebe is surprised to find Justin at the door. He's there to pick Prue
up. Phoebe runs in to tell Piper that their sister already left to meet
Justin. But he insists that he wasn't the one who called and changed the
arrangements. Piper and Phoebe are obviously worried.
At lunch, Prue's
cell phone rings, but Justin tells her to ignore it. Suddenly he's acting
less predictable. He tells Prue he wants to try their kiss again. She reluctantly
agrees. As they kiss, the world around them seems to transform and Prue
finds herself in some dark place with Zile and Dantalian. Worse yet she's
paralyzed. Dantalian tells her that every bride looks beautiful on her
wedding day. Uh-oh.
At the manor,
Phoebe is scrying for Prue's powers. But she gets nothing. Piper's worried
as always. And when Leo returns he tells them that even the Elders can't
find Prue. Their "radar" is jammed. But they're thinking the same thing
as the sisters, that a shape shifting warlock took her. Then Leo mentions
something about Krell, the demon bounty hunter they vanquished weeks before.
If he was still around then they could get the information out of him,
because he was working for the other side. This gives Phoebe an idea. She
leaves, telling them she has a hunch.
Dantalian starts
the wedding ceremony. Unfortunately for the warlock, she decides to betray
him. She kisses his lips with the potion, thereby paralyzing him also.
Now she can get the evil BoS for herself.
Phoebe returns
to the mausoleum, hoping Cole can help her find Prue. He says that he'll
do it, risking his life, just for her. He's determined to prove himself.
Phoebe starts to go then suddenly whirls around and kisses him. As she
pulls away they're both confused by her behavior and she rushes out.
Back at the
manor, Piper and Leo flip through the book. But the spells are strange
now, evil, although Piper seems to appreciate some of them. And then suddenly
she disappears only to reappear in the kitchen. Leo runs in, telling her
that she's blinked. But Piper insists that blinking is a warlock power
and that she couldn't have done that. Phoebe arrives and Leo tells her
what's happened. She's intrigued and tries it herself. She disappears.
Piper grins at Leo and then vanishes also. Leo chases
them
through the house, telling them that whatever is happening to Prue must
be turning them evil. He wants them to fight it, but they seem to like
the change.
The door rings
and Piper answers it, ignoring Leo's protests. It's the wedding planners.
Piper tells them that she now wants pigs in blankets, then turns one of
the planners into a pig with a blanket. The other planner gets frozen,
literally. It seems Piper's power to freeze has taken an interesting change.
Phoebe just laughs. Leo's shocked and Piper comments that he's always been
a stick in the mud. Phoebe likes the idea and transforms poor Leo into
just that. Then they walk away.
Later on Piper
is about to kill the pig. But it's simply too easy. They decide that they
want to find Prue, and reinstate the evil power of three. First though,
they have to clean house. Piper transforms
the
planners back to their natural state then Phoebe send them flying back
through the door. She turns Leo back to normal, but the whitelighters call
him. Since Piper and Phoebe turned evil their right to a whitelighter has
been revoked. They're not exactly disappointed to see Leo go.
Phoebe goes
up to her room and finds Cole standing there. He tells her that Prue has
been forced to marry a warlock. Phoebe comments on how Prue couldn't let
Piper have the thunder for once. Then she kisses him. Cole realizes what's
happened, but he doesn't want her that way. Phoebe thinks he's being preachy
and beats up on him until Belthazor reappears. He tells her that Dantalian
is coming for their book. Then he disappears as Piper comes in. Phoebe
tells her what she's learned, explaining that she had a premonition.
Dantalian appears
in the attic. She tries to take the book but Phoebe kicks her. They demand
to know where Prue is. When Dantalian refuses to tell them, Piper freezes
her hand and shatters it. Then suddenly Leo appears, feeling bad that he
left Piper. Distracted, they let Dantalian escape. Piper freezes Leo and
tells Phoebe to smash him. Her little sister obliges and Leo is shattered
into a million pieces.
As they go back
downstairs the two younger Halliwells try to decide how to find Prue and
their book. Finally Phoebe decides that they can blink to Prue. Since they're
evil, they should be able to find her.
Dantalian is
reading out of the book when they arrive. She wakes up Zile and Prue who
seem to be
happily
married and ready to attack. Prue tosses her sisters back with her powers.
Then Zile transforms into her and they both blink, one appearing in front
of each of the sisters. They need to kill the warlock, but now they have
no way to tell which one is their sister. But then one of the Prue's tells
the other "I love you." The other responds "you too." Phoebe suddenly remembers
Cole telling her that evil can't love. Piper freezes the right one then
kicks her, smashing Zile into pieces. Suddenly the sisters look around.
They're back to being good. Piper uses her regular freezing power to stop
Dantalian even as she rushes towards them. Then they hurry over to the
book to vanquish her. Prue smiles, commenting that she was actually the
first to get married. Piper and Phoebe suddenly remember Leo.
Back at the
manor, Piper runs into the attic where they killed Leo. When she can't
find him she falls to her knees crying. Prue and Phoebe follow her, then
turn around when they see Leo orbing in. Piper rushes to hug him. Apparently
when they killed Zile, they reversed the evil they had done. Phoebe admits
though that it was kind of fun for awhile, doing evil things without consequences.
Piper points out that smashing her fiancé into a million pieces
is kind of a consequence. But Prue backs up Phoebe, saying she's beginning
to see her little sister's side of things. Obviously the issue of Cole
is coming back up again. Prue explains that she's still not happy that
Phoebe lied to her, but she now she understands it better.
Phoebe goes
back to the mausoleum to see Cole. He still wants to be with her, but as
he looks at Phoebe, he realizes that his good deed wasn't enough. She explains
that somewhere deep inside he will always be evil and that the temptation
will always be there. She can't take that risk. As she starts to leave
though Cole yells after her that he won't give up. But Phoebe doesn't look
back.
