Ratner prissily shows Veronica the room to which he delivered the dessert, and mentions that he overheard a verbal fight therein. The kicker is that the fight was between two men.
Heeee hee hee. This scene is so awesome. Ratner and Veronica get the elevator, only to find Logan and Heather inside. Ratner gets on, and pointedly asks a stunned Veronica if she's going to do the same. After a moment, she does, and even bids Logan an uncertain hello. Logan returns the greeting while staring straight ahead like he's carsick and the slightest movement will make him projectile-vomit. Which, minus the car part, is probably pretty much the case. Veronica looks over at Heather and asks, "Is that my shirt?" Ah ha ha ha ha ha. This is just too precious. Logan explains/non-explains that Heather was out of clothes. Heather gets this "EEEEE!" smile as she recognizes Veronica, and loudly proclaims her glee as Veronica and Ratner make bemused faces. Heather then can't control herself and asks Veronica if she was listening to the radio dedication. Veronica, conflicting emotions readily apparent, admits that she did hear it. Heather tells her it's true: Logan's sorry and he misses her and they should get back together because he totally loves her, and luckily for Logan, the elevator is laughing so hard at this point that it has to pause for breath. Logan and Heather get off, but Logan does look back pleadingly at Veronica before the door closes. Ratner snarks, "Trouble in paradise?" This one's making the rounds quickly, Veronica, so it's a good thing you talked to Tina when you did.
Back outside the elevator, Heather is upset, saying that Logan had the perfect opportunity there, and that he should have told Veronica how he feels. He yells that he's not eleven or delusional. As Heather's eyes fill up, Logan tells her that she doesn't know anything about love: "It is easy to be happy all the time when you're eleven." Given his family history, I'm guessing Logan's going on hearsay here. He tells Heather to talk to him about love when she knows something about it. You'd better fix this, Logan, because in TV Land, making Little Girl God cry is worse than organizing bumfights.
Landry's class. Veronica enters as VMVO tells us that knowing that Landry or Mindy left the Grand in time to kill Dean Ed adds a whole new level of weirdness to attending Profiling class. Landry calls Veronica up and tells her he has good news: she's made it to the second round of the FBI internship. So she did end up applying for the internship, even though she did the final paper? Veronica, college is about doing the minimum amount of work. Didn't anyone tell you? Also, I know the FBI is sometimes the subject of scorn, but I still think the screening process is pretty rigorous, so I'm a little skeptical that someone THE FBI BASICALLY KNOWS AIDED AND ABETTED A FELONY would be invited into their ranks. Maybe it's the recruiting version of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Veronica valiantly musters some enthusiasm, and thanks Landry for pushing her to apply, and for the recommendation. Landry tells her that he's sure Dean Ed's letter helped quite a bit. Veronica's confused, so Landry tells her that he put a notice in the faculty blog soliciting further recommendations, and that Dean Ed came through. Veronica's affected by the news, but covers by saying that it reminds her of a part of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang after Robert Downey Jr.'s character dies. Landry corrects her that Downey survives the film. I've been pretty happy with the detective work here, but COME ON. This proves nothing beyond the fact that Landry's seen the film at some point. Further than that, even if he hadn't known the ending, wouldn't it be possible that, at 3:30 in the morning, he was, I don't know, ASLEEP? Perhaps this is why Landry seems to be looking at her, all, "Good luck getting to that third round."
