...and then, in the hallway, finds Jackie, whom she informs that she knows her innocence: "I'm about to watch Ms. Hauser squirm in her own personal hell. If you're not doing anything..." If you sold tickets to that, Veronica, the senior class would be able to afford Fiji. Jackie smiles and follows Veronica.
Madison is lamenting the fact that they only have $3000 for the trip when Veronica and Jackie join her, J.B., and Clemmons and Ms. Hauser. (By the way, it was noted on the boards that the carnival went on for hours after the money was stolen, so presumably they would have had some revenue regardless.) Veronica announces that she found "Miss Trashy-Trash," and asks Ms. Hauser if she has anything to say. After a pregnant pause, Ms. Hauser gives a breezy apology to Jackie, and then Veronica hands over the purloined test, mentioning where she found it. Ms. Hauser is aghast, and asks where she got it. Veronica: "In. The. Copy. Machine." To Jackie: "Am I still speaking English?" Hee. Veronica asks who has access to Ms. Hauser's code to the copy machine, and Ms. Hauser says that the only one is her student aide. Madison stirs uncomfortably, since this brings back election-related memories, but the aide is actually J.B., who of course denies the charge. Veronica grandly announces that, for her next trick, she'll take J.B. into the hallway, whisper a few magic words, and when they return, he'll confess. Don't take too long, Veronica, or the crowd might start to focus in on your use of the word "trick."
Out in the hall, Veronica announces that J.B. knew exactly when the streakers would appear. She opens her laptop and shows him a picture of what she claims is last year's Tritons initiation, but is really a trick of Photoshop. You'd think Veronica of all people would know the difference. But Duncan's in the picture, so we'll go with it, and speaking of him, Veronica tells J.B. that she made a promise to "a certain Triton" that his secret was safe, but that he's gone. She speculates that if they check the copy machine, they'll find that Ms. Hauser's code was used a few minutes after 4. I wonder whose code they would find was used to copy the license-plate numbers. Not that I don't think Veronica would have cribbed someone's code -- I'm just wondering whose. J.B. thinks that the copy machine can't do that, but Veronica tells him that's irrelevant, since if he doesn't confess, she'll post the Triton picture on his homepage: "I've heard what happens to Tritons who reveal their secrets." I'm guessing she's taking it that Rick's babbling about the secretiveness of the society was one of the few things he was truthful about. J.B. tells Veronica that he doesn't have a homepage. Veronica, breezily: "You will." Hee. I should point out that it does seem overly sloppy for J.B. to have left the test in the machine, but maybe he was intent on getting back to see the end of the show. Hey, I don't judge. Veronica suggests J.B. take the road of less resistance, which is confessing...
