Mars Investigations. VMVO tells us that if Lilly's going to haunt her until justice has been served, she'd better get cracking. If it means no Lilly once she's solved the case, I'd be just as happy if she took her time. On her desktop computer, Veronica has folders with suspects' names on them, which contain four categories each, entitled "Information," "Alibi," "Motive," and "Evidence." The four we see at first are Koontz, Jake Kane, Celeste Kane, and Logan. I can't believe she thinks Logan's really a viable suspect, but seething hatred can occasionally affect one's judgment. Or so I've heard. Veronica drops a throwaway line that Celeste is a "renowned philanthropist," and then makes a new folder for Duncan. I'm surprised there wasn't one already, but maybe his alibi was the most airtight until the revelation about the traffic ticket came up.
Cut to Veronica opening her dad's safe. She rifles through everything that's there about Lilly's murder: "How many times do I have to look at this stuff? Until it starts making sense." Man, if I followed that dictum with the television I watch, I'd still be viewing Buffy's last two seasons. There aren't a lot of things that could make the next four years seems short by comparison, but that's certainly one of them.
