Great Piper episode

One of my favorite episodes, mainly due to the superb comedic performance of Holly Marie Combs. The high school picture of her at the beginning of the episode is worth the price of admission. That is, if there was one. She runs the gamut of emotions in this episode and portrays them all brilliantly. You can also sense the connection between the actresses and how much fun they were having making this episode. Great story, convincing, (and funny), guest stars, emotional climax...just a fun, great episode. Great to see 'Dwight' from 'The Office' in some earlier work. Pop it into the DVD player for 42 minutes of pure, unadulterated FUN!
