Veronica goes to see Logan, and accuses him of being behind the narc-apade. Logan tells her to find a new bad guy: "I just don't have time to be responsible for every little thing that goes wrong in your life!" Who does? Most people I know are very busy already, and that's a job that should pay overtime. Veronica turns her attention to Duncan, asking if he handled this in his usual way: "You don't initiate trouble. You don't initiate much of anything anymore." Well, you know I love our heroine here, so I certainly don't blame her for being bitter that the last thing he initiated was the unceremonious dumping of her ass. Duncan asks for further clarification, and Veronica spits, "You stand idly by." Well, it's hard to argue with that, from what we've seen so far. Which means Veronica will be having a nice soufflé in a couple episode made of her words. Ugly Owen Wilson tells Logan to check out The Smoking Gun. He does, and I'm surprised the show got permission to use the real site. The "Featured Document" contains a picture of Logan's dad. Inside, the headline reads, "A-Lister's Link to Twisted Pastime," and there's a streaming video of Logan whooping it up while watching a skid row fight. Logan shits his pants as he mentally curses Jake Kane. For something other than killing his girlfriend, for a change.
Chez Mars. Wanda's painting her toenails as she asks what the story is with Veronica and Weevil. Veronica: "There's no story." Apparently our heroine has never heard of fanfic. Lucky girl. Wanda breezes that she thought Veronica might have shared Lilly's penchant for bad boys. She goes on to say that she heard something about Lilly and Weevil which, given the end of the fourth episode, is veeeery interesting. Veronica undefensively dismisses Wanda's theory. Wanda brings up college, and rattles off a bunch of names, ultimately saying she really wants to go to Williams. Veronica says she can't even think about college without getting a panic attack. Honey, let's get our priorities in order. First you panic about getting the full-season order, then you worry about college.
Logan enters his dark house, evidently hoping that his dad has gone to bed. Not so much. Creepily backlit from the pool, Haaron tells Logan that the phone's been ringing every five minutes -- Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, E!. Apparently, Haaron doesn't believe that no publicity is bad publicity. He advances on Logan as his tone becomes more menacing. He tosses Logan onto the couch as he says that Logan doesn't have any idea what he's cost the family. He tells Logan that the next day after school, he's going to get his first lesson in public relations: "Logan, don't you ever embarrass me again." And this from the man that participated in the L.A. Law movie. And appears to be wearing a gold watch on each wrist. Oy. Logan half-glowers, half-cowers us into the last commercial break.
