Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B+ | 3 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT One Hell Of A Reunion

Anyway, a steady chant has been audible in the background since Veronica and Charleston moved into this room, and another brother interrupts them to draw attention to it. The three of them, along with some other brothers, head outside to discover a mob of picketing female protesters chanting, "Women's safety first!" No more rapes at Hearst!" The black rape victim we saw in the season premiere is holding a sign with her picture on it, with a caption that reads, "Victim #3: Nancy Cooper." Next to her, Parker is holding a similar sign with a picture of her without her "wig," billing her as "Victim #4." So Alia Shawkat's character Stacy was the second victim, and the Hawaiian girl Dawn was the first. I like it when everything adds up, and I have since June 2004 or so. Anyway, Parker and Veronica's eyes lock just as a shirtless Dick comes out and puts his arm around Veronica. His timing is as good as his judgment.
Keith and Harmony are sitting on the couch at Mars Investigations. Either their interaction hasn't turned out the way the pizza setup implied, or they moved out to the main room for a reason. Seriously, though, so much for when you said you only had twenty minutes, Harmony. Keith is telling Harmony war stories, and she's giggling away like she's watching an NBC comedy. If only one would come to mind so I could provide you with an example. Anyway, Veronica and Logan enter, and after Keith hops up off the naughty, naughty couch and calls Veronica's name, Harmony asks, "Veronica? The liberator of lobsters?" Logan's amused, and Veronica protests that it was a single lobster, and also, she was seven. At everyone's goofy, expectant silence, Veronica sighs, "He tells that one to all the new clients." Yeah, but she's been here for hours, Veronica. I'm surprised she hasn't asked Logan how his surfing is going. Harmony awkwardly leaves, and Keith tells Veronica and Logan that he talked to his accountant, and it turns out that the Echolls estate contributes ten grand a month to an organization called "Aaron's Kids." That would be one of the biggest organizations in the world if it weren't for the invention of condoms. Logan, aghast, asks if the money's really going to his "dad's pathetic excuse for a charity." Keith breezes that he hopes this clears things up, and leaves.
Sometime later, Logan returns with some food, and apologizes for taking so long. "I went out for Thai, and ended up getting a massage. Should have been more specific." Well, he made it back safe, so at least the story has a happy ending. Veronica informs him that "Aaron's Kids" was a non-profit that shut down years prior; however, "Aaron's Kidz" is where the money's going now, and Avi Kaufman (referred to here as Haaron's "business manager," which is not the same thing as a "bean counter," but whatever) is its chairman. Logan stares his way into a commercial break.
