Outside, Veronica changes her jacket as VMVO laments the fact that Wallace isn't there to assist her. She dons a pair of glasses, the better to observe Joss lecturing some female co-worker about how much he does. "I'm in here. There's [sic] two of me." Looks like he should have won "Employees Of The Month," then. Joss bails, and Veronica looks after him with a quizzical side-eye. Well, sure he's a little weird, Veronica. But could a normal guy come up with vampires as a metaphor for high-school suffering? Also, very amusing performance, Joss. I mean that.
Nerd Veronica heads back inside and begs the co-worker to help her, because she has a colleague who "couldn't find his own ass with a mirror and a miner's hat." Maybe he's just not that flexible? The co-worker, by the way, is Kim from America's Next Top Model. Such pretty synergy! Veronica opines that her colleague is "kind of like that guy," indicating Joss's picture, which brings a small smile from Kim. You'd think she wouldn't give an expression of pleasure with a fishhook stuck in her lip, but they do some weird shoots on that show. Veronica babbles that she left her laptop in the white LeSabre, but Kim tells her again that it's out. Veronica, seeing an ad for their satellite tracking service, badgers Kim into tracking down the car. Kim makes a call and has someone do a "remote unlock" to get the GPS coordinates, which reveal that as of two days ago, the car was in "Waverley, California." Veronica thanks Kim, who expresses her hope that Veronica's boss gets canned. Veronica: "Yours too!" Oh, be nice, Veronica. I'm sure the experience of Firefly was painful enough for him. Of course, maybe she was talking about Jay Manuel. That I could get behind.
Keith goes in to see Lamb, and asks him what he found from examining the bus, but Lamb's unwilling to share. I'm sure that's a marked departure from how he was as a child. Keith points out that if he hadn't turned over the voicemail, the investigation would be nowhere, but Lamb counters that maybe Keith should be worrying about Veronica. Keith asks what that's supposed to mean. Despite his attempt at bravado, I think he knows that the possibilities start at "bad" and end up somewhere several miles past "worse." Lamb tells Keith about Veronica's name on Curly's hand, and then goes in for the kill: "Forget it. She said it was nothing. You know kids these days." Well, not really, but I do know one who's about to get a hell of an earful from her bald, irate dad.
