LAST WEEK’S RESULTS:
We were looking for a familiar phrase comprised of two six-letter words last week, and four theme entries in grid told us that BOTH START WITH P, and that
ITS SECOND WORD / IS THE SINGULAR FORM / OF ITS FIRST WORD.
So P????? P????? with a plural and then singular form of the same noun, and 477 clever folks deduced meta answer PEOPLE PERSON from those hints.
