TEXT: [Scene: P3. Prue and Phoebe are sitting at a table.] Phoebe: This place couldn't be more dead if I was embalmed. Prue: Yeah, I think that we're gonna have to take that offer. Phoebe: What's this guy's name again? Prue: Chris Barker. Phoebe: And he's not a loan shark or anything, is he? Prue: No. He's a collector, an investor. And it's a no-interest loan that we can pay back any time. Trust me, he's not gonna miss the money. Phoebe: Mmm. Must be nice. When do we tell Piper? Prue: Not until the club is in the black. (Piper comes up to them.) Piper: So, you guys, you do like the name of the club, right? P3. Little nod to the Power of Three, to us, partners. Phoebe: Yeah, it's very clever. Uh, Piper, it's a little, uh, quiet in here. Don't you think? Piper: It'll pick up once word of mouth kicks in. Phoebe: And when will that be, exactly? Piper: Well, you can't predict these things exactly. It's not like starting a restaurant. Besides the bank's not gonna call the loan. It's not like we're gonna lose the house. (She leaves.) Phoebe: Who said anything about losing house? We're not gonna lose the house, are we? Prue: No, because we're gonna take that offer and trust Piper to this place with people. Phoebe: What people? Where is everybody? [Scene: Another club. Dishwalla is playing there. You see Leo walking around.] [Cut to a room out the back.] Girl: So, you, like, produce their records or what? Jeff: No, no, nothing that creative. I'm their new manager. I take care of things, whatever needs to be done, I do. Girl:
SUMMARY:
Worried about cash flow in the struggling new P3 club, Phoebe and Prue conspire to take on a zero interest loan behind Piper's back, trusting that she will be able to make the club successful. Leo gets the manager of Dishwalla , Carlton, to bring the band to the club, fully aware that the manager has made a pact with the demon Masselin , who grants him fame and fortune in exchange for innocent souls. Detective Darryl Morris does not know this, but suspects that Carlton is involved in a string of mysterious disappearances of young women from Dishwalla's past concerts. On the night of the concert, Phoebe acts as bait for Masselin, and the sisters manage to feed him a potion which kills him, releasing all his victims.
