Veronica pulls up to the "Palm Tree Motel" as VMVO tells us that this is where Amelia was two days ago, and also implies that Waverley isn't the most savory town California has to offer. I'm guessing she drove inland. Wacky banjo music kicks up as Veronica enters the lobby and finds the toothless-type proprietor looking at internet porn. Veronica: "Naughty schoolgirls? What will they think of next?" Judging from my spam filter, I think at this point they've thought of just about everything. The proprietor offers Veronica a room at thirty bucks a night. I guess this is the part of California they call "Nevada." Veronica shows the guy Amelia's picture and learns that she was there a couple nights before. Veronica asks to see the room she stayed in, but is forced to fork over thirty bucks....
...for a room that's worth way more than that. I think it would fetch at least fifty even if it were situated right next to a rendering plant. An NVMVO wonders why Amelia came here, and then Veronica's phone rings. It's Keith, who sharply asks her where she is. When she lies that she's in a "funny little art gallery," he instructs her to take a picture of the place and send it to him. Oh, Veronica, I don't know where you're going to find an art gallery in this town. Of course, you could have told him you were in a seedy bar drinking PBR for three bucks a pitcher. But I don't think the picture of that would have thrilled Keith, even if it would be far more readily available. Keith brings up the dead guy on the beach, and Veronica weakly tells him she didn't want him to worry. Under questioning, she confesses the link between Curly and Haaron. She emotionally adds that if Haaron was involved, it probably means that all the kids died because of her: "Trying to figure it out is the only thing keeping me from going insane crazy." I don't know that Veronica's been trying to figure it out near as much as she's making it sound, but I guess I have to believe her. It's not like she ever lays it on thick or anything. Regardless of the performance, Keith reminds her to send him the picture...
...and we cut to Veronica rearranging the art on the walls to make it look like a gallery. At thirty bucks a night, the only art that would be on the walls is the kind that got the Brooklyn Museum in trouble with Rudy Giuliani. Part of it, anyway. Veronica poses for the picture...
