Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Summer Of Love And Hate
By Couch Baron | Season 2 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.27.2005
Veronica interviews an Asian girl, who says that her parents are getting sued by "Boatloads of Fun Corp," and mentions that "Steve Wacker's parents" are part of it. Her dad leased a house to a group of families that call themselves by that moniker, and the roof leaked in one room, and now they're demanding all their money back. Perhaps they need a new name because, as Veronica notes, they don't sound like much fun at all, and what's more, if they like boats so much, you'd think they could deal with a little water. Also, it's a pretty distant leap for this girl to think that she might have failed a drug test because of a leaky roof in a house her father rented out, so the resolution comes off as a little ham-fisted.
Veronica then interviews a kid who says that he beat out "Jennings Crawford" for #1 singles slot last year. Jennings's parents freaked, and tried to have the coach fired. They even brought in Ilie Nastase to testify that Jennings was a better tennis player than the kid. Nastase also testified that the kid was completely gay, but that testimony was ruled inadmissible, if true. The kid leaves, and VMVO tells us that there used to be one 09er girl who was her friend. Well, sure, but she got bashed in the head with an ashtray and...oh. Veronica's talking about Meg. VMVO goes on to say that when Duncan dumped Meg, she blamed it on Veronica, and things have been chilly, at best, ever since. Veronica accosts Meg and tries to make small talk about senior year, which probably isn't the way to go. When that fails, she asks if Meg can think of anyone who would want to set her up. Meg: "Well, there is this one person. I used to think she was a friend, but yeah, now that I think about it? She'd have no reservations, and she definitely has the talent to pull it off. Let me know if you have any luck tracking her down, okay?" Looks like bitterness does wonders for your sarcasm skills. I never would have guessed.
Inside, Veronica sets off a metal detector, a new addition to the school because of the tensions, which didn't happen accidentally even though normal is the watchword. VMVO tells us to guess who the lightning rod is...
...and then we're in flashback as Logan is escorted out of the courthouse by his ostensible lawyer amid a loud crowd of demonstrators. VMVO says that the motorist who was there when Logan woke up left the scene before the police arrived, and the knife used to stab Felix was never found. Logan's attorneys took apart the PCHers' testimony, noting that they were there to kill Logan, and that, if Logan did, in fact, stab Felix, it was in self-defense. Logan gets into a car inside which Veronica is waiting. He looks pretty shaken up as VMVO tells us that the DA decided he didn't have enough evidence to convict Logan, so he dropped the case, and the town went crazy about "another rich kid getting off scot-free."
