Raige rages, "Am I the only one worried about that thing that's growing inside of her?" Piper tells her to cram it; they have to find the remaining bottles of tonic. Anyone want to bet that they'll actually find the tonic in the wall safe? No? What's that you say? D'Eartha would certainly have returned to the Casa after The Sole had been vanquished to remove any demonic playthings she might have left behind? Because D'Eartha is nothing if not a competent villain? I couldn't agree with you more. However, Kern & Ko. believe that we in the audience are mildly-retarded eleven-year-olds who have dropped far too many tabs of Ecstasy with our midlife-crisis nightmare of an estranged white-trash father, so we have to endure a scene in which Piper and Raige find the wall safe, Raige orbs the safe's door into her hands, and the two express great disappointment when they discover said wall safe empty save for an envelope addressed to the Feebs. Piper instantly recognizes the generic block capitals as Cole's handwriting, and pockets the note to protect it from Raige's nosy, prying eyes.
Over in the bedroom, I'm not seeing any vigorous stomping of Phoebe's pelvis, so I am forced to assume that the little people in my television set are ignoring me again. Stupid little TV people. After stroking the monstrous white teddy bear The Sole bought her when she realized she was knocked up, Phoebe crosses to the bathroom door. She opens it, and is immediately yanked head-first through a blazing white portal into The Chamber Of D'Eartha down in Hell. Darryl latches onto her ankles while screaming for Piper's assistance. Meanwhile, D'Eartha strides over to Phoebe, purring, "I've been waiting for you." Phoebe snarls at her to make like a tree. D'Eartha snarls right back, "I only want what is mine!" I don't like the sound of that. D'Eartha yanks mightily on Phoebe's arm. Back in the bedroom, Piper and Raige have joined Darryl's side in this tug-of-war over the contents of Phoebe's uterus. Would that the sides would rip Phoebe in two. No such luck. Phoebe snatches one of D'Eartha's dangly earrings, tearing it and the lobe to which it's attached from D'Eartha's head. D'Eartha roars in pain and releases Phoebe's arm. Phoebe shoots back into the bedroom, knocking everyone to the floor. She passes the earlobe to a visibly horrified Piper with a casual, "Here's your tissue sample." We cut to commercial before Piper hurls her breakfast directly into Phoebe's face.
