Dank And Forbidding Alleyway Of Dream World Doom. Senseless Raige catches up with Sensei Raige, who's levitating five feet above the ground, serenely cross-legged on a cloud of orbs. "Come -- seek!" Sensei Raige actually, honest-to-God says, and it only gets worse from there. Senseless Raige's "inner truth," you see, involves finding herself, or some such damn thing. "A search for self is a noble one," Sensei Raige intones serenely, "and if you don't find it, you'll be lost, imbalanced, and -- ultimately -- spread too thin." God, I hate this show. The Ultimate Retard, having eavesdropped on all of this, decides she's heard enough for now and switches sisters again. This time, however, we stay with Senseless Raige, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, believe it or not. In a fairly creepy shot, Sensei Raige suddenly, unexpectedly lets her head drop back and opens her mouth in a howl. The human part of that howl, however, is merely a faint, far-away cry, while the mechanical part -- the part that sounds like a high-pitched train whistle -- screams. Senseless Raige flashes briefly on Mikelle's forlorn image before snapping back to the unearthly howling, which gradually diminishes after Sensei Raige abruptly dematerializes. Raige realizes her doomed charge is in some deep shit, and spins around to race back to the Dream World Manor...

...where, coincidentally enough, Phoebe's just now arriving to find Piper on the sun porch. The two bang their heads together in a lengthy processing summit during which Phoebe realizes that in order to escape Dream World, each Glam Gal must first follow her individual dream to its conclusion, wherever that conclusion might be. The one amusing moment during the endless chatter comes when Phoebe admits to canoodling with Stoop in her reverie: "You're having sex dreams while I'm sitting here wracked with guilt?" Oh, you martyr. Meanwhile, The Ultimate Retard, who'd been spying on them from the upper landing, hears a noise above, and waddles off to investigate.

Up in the nonexistent attic, she finds Raige struggling with the Book of Shadows, a struggle Raige quickly abandons in favor of tossing Maggot Neck up against a wall and shrieking, "Get me out of here now!" Whoa. Raige, honey. Why so tense? "I don't have time for this crap!" she yells, all up in The Retard's face. This is kind of awesome. "You wanna stop us? You think we're selfish? WHATEVER!" Oooh, Raige! I think I like you like this. "But if you don't get me out of here right now," she screams, paying me no mind, "my charge is going to die! Is that what you want?" Maggot Neck gulps, and that gulp ripples down through all the many folds in her disgusting neck before the screen washes blue once again.
