Run a hot bubble bath

Piper: Prue, what are you doing here?
Prue: I can tell you what I’m not doing. I’m not lighting candles. I’m not getting a back rub and I’m not running a hot bubble bath for two.
Phoebe: Hmm. Things didn’t go well with Alan?
Prue: Well, see, that’s the thing. I’m not really sure. I mean, third date, hot night, romantic dinner, and then he drops me off with barely even a kiss good night. I’m a little confused.

No. It means filling the tub for one. The water is running, so you are running a bath. The dictionaries aren't very good on this use.
