Cut to Wallace and Veronica watching the limo drive off. Wallace asks what now, and Veronica suggests a cheeseburger: she's late for her shift and there's a drive-thru on the way. Wallace suddenly remembers that he and Rashard stopped at White Castle only a few minutes before their car accident. Veronica's a little slow on the uptake here, but she could just be having a Homer Simpson-esque "Mmm, burger" moment here. I know I am. Wallace explains that the drive-thru attendant saw Rashard behind the wheel, and even got his autograph. At first it seemed too convenient that Wallace didn't remember the White Castle detail until now, especially given that he presumably went over the whole night with Sayers, but I realized he never said he didn't have a few drinks himself at the party. And despite what you've seen on both this show and The O.C., high-school students do not typically have tolerances to rival the Rat Pack. Wallace is psyched, and takes off, although I'd think it would be more efficient to call his dad than to head directly for Chicago. It'll save the local authorities some time and trouble, though.
Java The Hut. Karaoke night. That guy Lars is singing again, and just as badly as last time, and this time it's "All Out Of Love" by Air Supply. Veronica rushes in as VMVO tells us she's late and missed dinner, it's super-busy, and it's "Make The Karaoke Machine Want To Kill Itself Night." I'd say the karaoke machine knew what it was getting into, but listening to Lars for a few more bars, I have to admit that would be a total lie. It's hilarious to reuse this guy, though, and completely realistic. I mean, if people can follow the American Idol auditions from city to city and year to year and never get the hint, this guy can revisit the coffee shop every once in a while. Veronica sees Weevil calling her over, but she stops to introduce herself to and serve a customer at the counter. Lars finishes up, and the guy Veronica just helped goes up to the stage. He's actually Britt Daniel, the lead singer of the band Spoon, and I can totally understand where this would seem cheap to some people, but seeing Lars continually upstaged by professional singers is a running gag I can get behind. Speaking of which, Lars sees his girlfriend (a different one from the last time) moonily staring at Britt, and throws up his hands in frustration and walks off. Hee. Speaking of song choices, Britt sings Elvis Costello's "Veronica"...
