Sometime later, Veronica emerges from the bedroom on her way out. She notices Alicia in the kitchen, and bravely apologizes again, hoping that Alicia won't hold Keith responsible for her "boneheadedness." She tells Alicia that she and Keith are really good together, and that Alicia makes Keith so happy. Alicia worries that she may have fubared things with Keith, but Veronica assures her that it's not the case. There's an "ironic" transition that I won't be recapping...
...and then we're in Vegas, baby! In a hotel room, Keith calls "Cheyenne." We see a picture of the woman in question, and if the magazine she's in is any indication, Wyoming isn't going to rush to claim her. Keith says he'd like to set up an appointment. Cheyenne, watch yourself. Erica Gimpel's gonna live forever, but if you touch her man, they won't find anything but your implants.
Chez Mars. Veronica desperately apologizes to Logan for accusing him. He tells her it's all right, and asks if she found anything out. She confesses that she was drugged, and starts to say she wasn't raped: "I was with Duncan." Logan looks away, trying to will away the Friday The 13th soundtrack that just started playing in his head. Actually, what he's thinking about will be revealed later, which is a nice touch. Veronica supposes that "our feelings and nature..." were the cause. Well, your feelings I can buy, but nature had nothing to do with it in SO many senses. Logan says he's sorry, and Veronica tells him she's glad he's there. A lot of people thought it was off that she would apologize to Logan like this. I don't think she owed him an apology, but I can understand why she did it. First off, Logan's been not only the best thing in her life lately but also the thing she's put first, as the lying to Wallace demonstrates. So assuming you buy them together at all, it makes sense that she'd desperately want him around, especially considering she's more of a train wreck than ever before. Second, I think the apology was softening Logan up for the revelation that Veronica was with Duncan. Again, she didn't need to do that, but I can see where she'd want to. As for her tacit assertion that she wasn't raped? Again, later.
Keith opens his hotel room door and beckons Cheyenne, a busty blonde, inside. She tells him to tell her exactly what he wants: "That one thing you can never get the little woman to do." I can only imagine the last person who referred to Alicia as the "little woman" had his tongue julienned and served to him. Keith pulls Cheyenne onto the bed and says he'd like to talk about Abel Koontz. From the look on her face, I don't even want to know what the "one thing" Koontz liked to have her do was. Keith calls her "Miss Collins," introduces himself, and says he's been looking for her for a year. He tells her he knows she was with Koontz at the supposed time of Lilly's murder, and that there's a phone record to prove it. This is a little confusing -- were they having phone sex, or did he call her and have her join him? Cheyenne points out that Koontz confessed, "for whatever reason," and that if she comes forward, she'll be "the most famous working girl on the planet. I have a five-year-old son who thinks I'm a stewardess." Well, I hope he doesn't see the video for Britney Spears's "Toxic," because I think that would put ideas in his head. Keith says that a girl was murdered: "Don't you think the person who killed her should be the one in jail?" Geez, you make it sound so reasonable, Keith. Also, if she's the entertainment lawyer, that's another lie Keith has been telling Veronica for quite some time. Although at least the first part of the job title applies.
