Supressing Plot Output

How can I overlay plots and graphics primitives _without_ displaying the
individual plots first?

For example, I have a function that creates a plot of a spiral based
on three points in the plane:

Spiral[A_,B_,C_]:=Module[ ...
	...;
	ParametricPlot[...] ];

The function Spiral[] immediately generates the spiral, so the
command

Show[Spiral[P,Q,R],Graphics[Line[{P,Q,R,P}]]];

gives two outputs: an image of the spiral by itself, and an image of the
spiral with the overlaid triangle.  How can I restrict the output to the
second image?

Thanks!

-Ben
