The two turn away from the door just as the VCR starts recording. Piper claims it's recording, at any rate, but I'm not familiar with VCRs that record by turning on the television by themselves first. The gals uh-oh for a moment before the Crappy CGI Guy shoots out of the machine. Piper attempts to freeze him, but vanquishes the television set instead. Crappy CGI Guy slithers across the floor to rise up behind the sisters. He tosses Piper across the room, where her rear end subdues a plant stand. Phoebe levitates to boot him in the head. Because he's a bundle of electricity, she merely gets her foot stuck in said head in mid-air. She hoots and hollers and yodels and fries. Piper leaps to her feet to fend off Crappy CGI Guy with a coat stand. She then tosses voodoo of indeterminate nature his way, and he retreats once again into a light socket. Piper assists Phoebe, who has fallen to the floor; then the two remember the frozen Road Kill in the kitchen. By the time they get there, however, he's already sneaked out the back door. "He left?" Phoebe asks as she retrieves a bottle of water from the presumably-inactive refrigerator. "He's just wandering around in chain mail?" "It's San Francisco," Piper reminds her. "Nobody will notice." Phoebe tells her to get real. Piper tells her to scry for the Road Kill if she's so damn concerned about it. If Phoebe can't find him that way, Piper will have the Dolt orb Raige back to the Manor to clean up her own mess, whether Raige wants to come or not.

Meanwhile, out in the alley, Road Kill attacks a garbage truck with his broadsword. The harassed driver emerges from the cab with a baseball bat to scare him away. Road Kill hacks the bat in half with the sword. There's unfunny banter of the "what is this metallic beast and how do you harness its power" sort that makes me grind my teeth in irritation. Why is it that whenever a yonge Squier with lokkes crulle as they were leyd in presse from a prior century finds himself in our own, he mangles Modern English, rather than the Old or Middle versions? The garbage man, at swordpoint, agrees to drive Road Kill to Raige's current coordinates. Road Kill knows where Raige lurks because he "can feel her heart's pull." He asks if the sanitation worker has any questions, and...
