[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Looking for a new career path, Piper goes on an interview with a corporate recruiter, but is soon arrested when a background check reveals that the physical appearance she adopted was that of a woman wanted for murder. The sisters set out to clear the woman's name, but are impressed when Billie is the one that comes up with the perfect plan. Meanwhile, Phoebe has a premonition that an earthquake will hit on the night of Dex's art gallery opening; Leo hosts a kids play group at the house and is caught off guard when one of the mothers mistakes him for a single dad; and Paige becomes annoyed with Billie's lack of respect for the art of witchcraft.

[edit] Trivia

  • The episode title is a play on words to the film Run Lola Run and a line in the movie Forrest Gump Run Forrest, Run.
  • The event Billie and the sisters refer to about a ghost helping them to make a pawn shop owner confess a crime is from the season two episode Ex Libris.
  • The classic movie All About Eve is referred to during the last scene in a conversation between Piper, Paige, and Leo.
  • This is the second time Piper freezes someone before he tries to hit Leo's face. The first time was in season two episode Ex Libris where she froze Dan. Although Leo moved his head in that episode, preventing Dan from hitting him, this time he took the hit.
  • Paige found Maya's photo in 415 magazine, which is where Prue used to work.
  • Billie mentions Barbas when she suggests they prey upon their enemy's fear.
  • When Phoebe looks in the mirror, she has her hair tied up. Yet the girl in the reflection, who is supposed to be Phoebe's new identity, has her hair down.
