...and she grabs Madison, asking if she gave her a trip to the dentist the night of Shelley's party. Madison flashes back to Dick giving her what, unbeknownst to her, is a GHB-laced drink. What she does know, however, is that it contains regular soda, and she asks Dick, "Why didn't you just fill the cup with lard?" Well, because that would be kind of gross. Also gross is Madison seeing Veronica approaching, spitting in her drink, and handing it to her while keeping her back turned. In the present, Veronica's voice shakes a little as she tells Madison she has no idea what she did to Veronica. Madison: "Oh my God, I spit in your drink. You are like, so scarred for life." She walks away. What do I think of this revelation? Soon, I promise.
Outside, Duncan paces angrily. He angrily tries the door on his car, but it's locked. He angrily looks for the key, but he doesn't have it on him. He angrily punches, kicks, and takes a shovel to the door. In case you hadn't noticed, he's a little angry. Meg comes out just in time to see her boyfriend turning green and busting out of his shirt. Well, he was already green in another sense, but you probably figured that part out. Meg tries to get him to stop, and yells, "This is about Veronica, isn't it? You're still in love with her, right?" Well, I still think it's about gamma rays, but that's a decent bet too. Or, given Haaron's temperament, it could just be something in the Echollses' water supply. Oh, and also, Duncan? It's time for some therapy. Or an appearance on Jerry Springer. He'll love you. Oh, and poor Meg. I hope this doesn't mean the end of her.
Back inside, Haaron thanks a couple of kids for coming as Veronica looks like stabbing herself with a hatpin would be a lot more fun than this. Logan retrieves her, and they slip out to the pool house. Well, Veronica slips. Logan actually skips, and wherever Paul Lynde is right now, he's watching this appraisingly as he drinks his third martini of the early afternoon. Agnes Moorehead, meanwhile, is sipping her own cocktail and rolling her eyes at him, as she just wants to bitch about the Bewitched remake's imminent release. She does admire Logan's rapier wit, though.
Where was I? Inside, Logan asks why there have to be other people in this world, which is far from a throwaway comment in my opinion. Remember his "What is so great about living" comment? Veronica is what's great for him, now, and I can only imagine where that's going to take us. My guess is the city of "Nowhere" in the state of "Good." Logan pulls Veronica onto the couch while teasing her about being too short. They kiss for a bit, but then Logan says he has to tell Veronica something. Veronica opines that they're past the confessional portion of the evening. I'd like to believe her, but I've seen this show before, and there's usually an awful lot of plot left at Minute 54. Logan flashes back to putting a lime in Veronica's mouth and whooping it up as another guy does body shots off her. Veronica says she knows about the "salt lick," and that she's choosing to think of it as "one of those not-real things." Some people found her casual acceptance of this dodgy, but it had to have occurred to her before that Logan could have been involved in that scene. Also, people thought that this flashback conflicted with The Beav's statement that Logan left the party early with a girl, but it seems like Veronica took the GHB and passed out very soon after she got to the party, so I think this could all be happening relatively early still. Especially since I think most of these 09ers would consider leaving while there's any alcohol within a thousand feet of the premises as "early." Anyway, back in flashback, we see Duncan run up and yell at the guys for taking advantage of Veronica. Duncan stands Veronica up as Logan puts some GHB into a drink. He apologizes to Duncan and hands him the spiked liquid, and Duncan drinks it.
