Billie is pursuing a lead on Christy, but her parents are in town and Phoebe wants her to put it off. Phoebe offers the use of her car, provided she use it to pick up her parents. Billie is not exactly excited about seeing her parents. She says they will "suck the life out of this place" -- and a nearby flower arrangement wilts. Piper carries a camcorder, to record "the little things" for Leo's return. One of the "little things" turns out to be Phoebe being unable to answer a letter to her column: a woman feels too close to her twin brother and thinks she cannot open up to her new boyfriend.
