...rematerialize in the nonexistent attic. He stands at the center of the room, balefully glowering at the dollhouse, wherein a tiny flash of golden light suddenly shines from the front parlor's window. The camera shoots in close to reveal Piper and the Dolt, now miniaturized, standing behind the glass. "What just happened?" the Dolt bleats. The shot cuts inside the tiny Manor, and as the now-looming Psycho grins maniacally down at his parents through the wee parlor window, Piper bites, "Uh oh." You got that right, darling. Piper and the Dolt gape for a bit as the Flatulent Oboe Of Isn't It Hysterically Funny That The Psycho Wants His Father To Bleed To Death? blats on the soundtrack, and then they all vanish into the commercial break.
Hell. Explosions erupt off-screen as Phoebe and Raige dart around a corner to cower in an antechamber somewhere within Zankou's warren of caves. Phoebe bitches about her deadline for an unnecessarily lengthy period of time before she and Raige wonder how a demon attacking the Dolt has led to Zankou attacking them. No time for an answer just yet, as we cut back to the main chamber, where the somewhat injured Craven's just arrived from the Manor to bitch about Piper's unexpected presence. Zankou blows him off in favor of making cheery "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" noises in Phoebe and Raige's general direction. Hee. Unfortunately for the gals, Elise's BlackBerry starts chirping. "Would you turn that thing off?" Raige peeves. "I know, I know," Phoebe flutters. "But you gotta admire the range on this thing!" I know I must be losing my mind, because that was sort of funny. Though I am wondering how much BlackBerry paid for that particular bit of product placement. And is it really the sort of message they want to be sending to potential customers? "Don't miss a single call ever again -- even when you're finally rotting in Hell!" Zankou, stalking in the direction of the PDAs beeps, shouts, "You're making this too easy!" He rounds one final corner, and d'oh! Phoebe's left the BlackBerry in the dirt while she and Raige sought out another hiding place. Zankou angrily stomps the thing silent as Phoebe calls out, "Looking for us?" She and Raige emerge from another alcove to toss a whack of vanquishing vials at Zankou's torso. Zankou, quick on the snap, telekinetically deflects the vials into a loitering group of Craven's minions, who instantly vanish in gouts of flame. "You missed!" Zankou hisses with a delightedly malevolent grin. Heh. Raige quickly orbs out with the Feebs, leaving Zankou and Craven alone to regroup.
