I liked this episode. I mean, I really can't say I didn't. It was much better than last week's episode, but hell, it was good. Sigh! Why can't Brad Kern listen to writers like Henry Alonso Myers (Necromancing the Stone, Sympathy for the Demon, etc.) who actually write episodes that I love to watch. Anyway, that's beside the point. One of the reasons I enjoyed this episode was because of the sisterly relationships that showed. With Paige's teasing of Piper, "Oh, my god, I think I hear something!" Ah, that scene was lovely.
The Cleaners were 'meh' villains. And technically, they really weren't villains, but bringing the Cleaners created continuity issues, such as in "All Hell Breaks Loose", when the sisters exposed magic, we didn't see those men wearing their white pristine suits, so that confused me.
1. Wyatt
I liked the idea of this episode, but the dragon was hideous, and remarkably dumb. And how it was summoned made me think even worse of it. I mean, why did the sisters leave the room to finish their conversation, then allowing Wyatt to look at the tv and pop out his lovely fire-breathing friend. How the plot ended bugged me, too, I mean, Piper took a very, very big risk in assuming that the Cleaners wouldn't take the chance to erase them. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Damn it, this episode makes me hate Brad Kern even more. I can see how Leo is trying to get his love to Piper but it just ain't happening. I didn't like how Piper seemed kind of ... irritated when she saw Leo in the nursery. I was hoping for maybe a more pleasant reaction. But Holly Marie Combs did a wonderful job when she was talking to Leo -- "I can't lose Wyatt, too!" Although, Leo has been hanging out in the manor a lot recently. So why can't they be together, Kern? Answer the damn question.
3. Phoebe
Phoebe just bugged me.
4. Phoebe (again)
Okay, fine. I guess I can't just write that. But it's true. It's only the third episode into the season and I'm ready to bonk that woman on the head! I can't believe that A) Phoebe (see selfish nag) actually asked the Cleaners to erase her own little brawl in the office like that and B) they actually did! I mean, they must find her breasts to be very appealing if they were that willing.
5. Paige
I liked Paige in this episode. She was cute around the sisterly stuff and teasing, especially in the kitchen. And I laughed when "Flo" morphed back into Paige and Rose McGowan had to stand up to make the glamour realistic.
6. Chris
This guy was just stupid and gay. I am going to leave it there.

Best line of the episode: "Okay, if you're sensing any fear, that would be mine." -- Paige
