Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C+ | 3 USERS: C+ YOU GRADE IT Who Mourns For Saint Blonde?
By Couch Baron | Season 2 | Episode 10 | Aired on 12.06.2005
Anyway, Leo says he felt so bad he almost returned the tapes, but then he saw Logan reading the list of the departmental emails, like I'm so sure Logan would have examined the purloined list in the sheriff's office. I mean, I know the kid's supposed to be impulsive, but come on. Leo goes on to say that he got Logan's email and knew it was him, and that Logan made it clear he wanted the tapes destroyed. Keith says he can't just let Leo slide. Leo says he knows, but that he hopes Keith's report will allow him to return in the all-too-likely event that Modern Men gets shitcanned.
Keith types his report, which slams department security but places special blame on Leo. As Keith continues in voice-over that he believes Logan bought and destroyed the tapes but would never be convicted due to lack of evidence, we see Leo turning in his badge and piece to Lamb. Huh, I guess we did see Lamb again for a second. You'll understand if I found this scene slightly less memorable.
Keith gets a phone call, looks like he might lose it for a second, and thanks the caller, saying he's kind of shocked...
...and then he's knocking on Veronica's bedroom door. He sits down and breaks the news that Meg died from a blood clot that dislodged and made its way to her heart. Well, I thought she would probably buy it, and this is not an unrealistic way to die for someone who's been bedridden for so long, but it certainly seems anticlimactic and a bit of a disservice to a character I really enjoyed. Veronica asks about the baby, and Keith tells her it's a girl, and that she survived. Veronica hugs Keith tight and breaks down, although it could be that the life-from-death scenario is making her really tired.
Presumably much later and now in the living room, Veronica and Keith wait for the ball to drop as VMVO says that the promise of hope in the New Year is all bullshit. Geez, honey, I'm not giving up on better ratings yet. Keith bails to go to bed, and right afterward, there's a knock at the door. Veronica opens it expecting it to be her pizza, but instead, it's Wallace. He wishes her a happy New Year, and it's not nice of him to make me pause the action to collect myself at Minute 56. Also, it will be interesting to see how Veronica behaves now that her moral center has returned. Veronica hugs Wallace...
...and then the ball is dropping as Veronica and Wallace sit on the couch with his arm around her. VMVO says she's a sucker, but that she'll give the New Year thing one last chance. So will I, but not until January 18th.
