Cut to Veronica coming out of the lot as she gives the license plate of the car Duncan bought to Keith over the phone. Logan pulls up, and she gets into the passenger seat as she finishes up the call. He could have come in and said hi to Weevil, but love triangles are always awkward. And painful. Logan smiles as he notes, "It's always business with you..."
...and we cut to them making out as they enter the Echolls home. You know a show's good when they can pull off that sort of "ironic" transition without making me want to lay waste to all the soundstages in Los Angeles. Of course, the show's filmed in San Diego, but the principle is the same. Logan informs Veronica that Haaron's at some sort of enlightenment class, and Trina's at a "purse-store opening." If Alyson Hannigan's acting isn't going to improve, I can only hope that one of those purses opens wide and swallows her like a Venus flytrap. And now I've got "Little Purse Of Horrors" stuck in my head. It's kind of catchy, actually. Logan says that Haaron is taking a variety of classes, including tae kwon do. I hope he wasn't taking that at the time of the last episode, because if he was, the section on using the discipline only for self-defense seems to have been sadly lacking. Logan also points out a glass urn that Haaron made to house Lynn's ashes, only since a body was never discovered, he filled it with sea water. I can't tell if the replica's authentic -- does anybody know what color collagen is?
All this talk of dead mothers would make anyone hot, so Logan and Veronica resume their mack session. Veronica asks if the thing between the two of them will ever get more normal. Unless there's a drastic change to the writing staff next season, I'm going to go with "no." Logan asks if she means him buying her stuffed bears that read "I Love You Beary Much." Much to my surprise, Veronica says she wants her bear won through some sort of demonstration of ring-tossing ability. Well, Veronica, I just displayed considerable prowess at cookie-tossing ability, but I'm not sure into what that can be parlayed. Logan says that secrets are hot, and they start to fool around out of view until Haaron's throat-clearing interrupts them. After they break apart, Haaron apologizes for the interruption and greets Veronica, explaining that his class was canceled, so he picked up some swordfish and was going to cook. Picking up on something else, he says he'll get out of their hair and, backing away from the horny teens, he encourages them to have some blue corn chips, as he circles both thumbs and forefingers and says they're really good. Hee. Once Haaron's gone, Logan cringes about actually getting caught by his dad making out on the couch. Veronica: "You got caught by your dad. I got caught by the star of Breaking Point and Beyond The Breaking Point." Hee, again. Veronica realizes that she has lipstick on her teeth, and goes to the bathroom. Logan watches her so hungrily that it doesn't occur to him that he should really check his tongue.
