Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B+ | 3 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Skank Side Story
By Couch Baron | Season 1 | Episode 2 | Aired on 09.27.2004
Veronica calls the first of a list of numbers in front of her, which I suppose must be calls paid for with the purloined credit card. She gets "Movieline" on the first one.
Logan surreptitiously sneaks Caitlin's phone out of her purse, and checks the outgoing call logs.
Veronica's down to the last number on the list.
Logan sees the same number on Caitlin's phone, and wonders whom she was calling at 1 in the morning. Come on, Logan. Those edible panties aren't going to order themselves. Logan and Veronica call the number, but Veronica gets a busy signal.
Meanwhile, Weevil's cousin answers with a "Hey, baby. Calling me during a school day? That's...that's daring." Logan looks around. Too bad they don't show him try to pull off a Caitlin imitation to keep the cousin on the phone. I'd love to see his face as they talked about riding the cousin's big old hog.
Veronica asks her dad to run a cell-phone number.
Logan stays on the phone, but silently, looking around the courtyard. Weevil's cousin, no rocket scientist, thinks that Caitlin is playing "the silent game." If she ever did that, I think quality of life on this earth would dramatically improve. Logan spies Weevil's cousin, and once he's sure it's him, he hangs up. He sarcastically smiles the look of rich kids who can't believe that life has dealt them a shitty hand. I'll be sure to offer him some sympathy, in about ten years when I stop laughing.
Weevil's cousin walks down the hallway as, unbeknownst to him, Logan and a bunch of the rich kids approach him quickly from behind. The cousin turns a corner, and Veronica comes out of nowhere and hurries him into the girls' bathroom. Heh. Props to the Eagle-Eyed Forum Posters who caught the Planned Parenthood sign on the wall, and props to the props guys for putting it there. Veronica lays out what happened for the cousin, who's called "Chardo": he went to pick up his grandmother Chez Logan, and the grandmother asked him to take out a bag of trash for her. In it, he found pre-approved credit cards, which he used to take out Caitlin "in the manner to which she's accustomed." I'd say something about the manner to which she's accustomed, but it'd be bluer than lapis lazuli, so I'll spare you. Chardo says he didn't want Weevil to take the fall for him, but that he and Caitlin are going to run away, and then he'll write a confession and send it to the police, and Weevil will go free. Veronica says that Caitlin is a "thrill-seeker," which is I Am Too Nice To Call Her A Whore for "whore." She goes on to say that Caitlin won't run away with Chardo, and that, in any case, he can't go back out there, because Logan is after him. Chardo doesn't seem too scared of Logan, a sentiment I can get behind. Veronica says he should turn himself in, but Chardo gets in her face, proving the old expression that a crappy bit character introduced in the first act goes off in the third. He leaves.
