Piper brings the groceries into the kitchen. She's holding her shoe. Prim is holding Patience. Prue and Phoebe smell something. Phoebe makes a face. 'What did you buy?'

Piper glowers 'Doody.'

'We weren't out of that.' Prue smiles.

Piper glares. 'No, I stepped in it again. That man has turned our front walk into a puppy mine field.'

'I can not believe that guy still let's his dog do his business right in front of our house.' Phoebe huffs.

Prim laughs mirthlessly. 'What's not believe? The guys an World class douchbag who thinks he's better than everyone. Too entitled.'

'Yeah, well, we've left notes.' Prue sighs.

Piper throws up her hands. 'And gotten no where.'

'Yeah, well, I've had it. The next time I catch him in the act, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind.' Phoebe states.

A dog barks. Piper looks at them. 'That couldn't be.'

'Oh, I hope it is.' Phoebe glares.

They run to the window. Piper nods. 'That's them. That's the guy and his dog. I can't believe it.'

'That is so rude. He's just gonna walk away.' Prue is in disbelief.

Phoebe turns to them. 'Then don't let him. Use your magic. Well, if you can't teach the dog new tricks, how about the owner. Just think of the money we'd save on carpet cleaning alone.'

'You can't be serious?!' Prim furrows her brow.

Prue agrees. 'Phoebe, we can't use our magic just to teach him or anybody else a lesson.'

'Why not? It's for the greater good, I mean, I mean, that's our job, right? Think of it as community service. We'd be doing our whole block a favor. Come on. (She opens a window.) Okay, Piper.' Phoebe gives the go ahead.

Piper obliges. 'I hope he's not out of my range.' She freezes the guy.

'Prue ... (Prue flicks the poo on his shoe.) Nice shot. (He unfreezes.) An eye for an eye, a shoe for a shoe.' The guy sees the poo on his shoe and tries to wipe it off. He looks around.

They duck down while Prim leans against the wall.

Prue peeks out. 'Did he see you?'

'So what if he did? What's he gonna do? Cry witch? (The guy walks off.) Well, we've done our good deed for the day. I think I deserve fifteen minutes of channel surfing.' Phoebe smiles.

Prim shakes her head. 'What am I gonna do with you guys? Hello?! Ever heard of a little saying? An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.'

'Who wants coffee?' Piper asks.

Prue smiles. 'I'll grind.'

Prue and Piper go to the kitchen. Phoebe sits on the couch and turns on the TV. A news report about Cal Greene shows up. Phoebe has a premonition. She makes a noise and Prue and Piper come in. Prim is already at her side.

Prue looks at her. 'Phoebe, are you okay?'

'Take a deep breath, honey, it's alright.' Piper soothes.

Prim bites her lip. 'Somehow I don't think it is.'

'Because, it's not. I saw my future. I was being executed. Burnt alive.' Phoebe is shaking.

Piper is confused. 'Why would a report about a baseball player trigger a premonition like that?'

'I don't know. All I know is I could feel it, I could feel the fire.' Phoebe is scared.

Piper shakes her head. 'And we were just standing there? That can't be right.'
