Neptune High. Weevil (who? Exactly) is standing by his hog in the parking lot when some 09er dork pulls up next to him and asks him if he's got the eight-ball he ordered. Weevil: "Coke? Who am I, John DeLorean?" Hee. Weevil says he never, no never, sold coke, and then rips the kid's shirt open. He'll tell you he was looking for a wire, but I think he's been feeling overdue for that move, since Logan has become so standoffish. The kid complains that it's a two-hundred-dollar shirt, and then whines that he paid one of the bikers for the drugs. Asked for a description, the kid says the biker in question was "brown." Well, since the kid's probably going to end up taped to the flagpole for that comment, it's just as well that Weevil got a head start on his shirt. Weevil nods and tells the kid he's got nice rims on his car, and that he's been thinking of getting some just like them. The kid nods appreciatively, but suddenly his face falls as he catches his snap. He locks his car, and presumably activates the alarm, as he leaves. Heh. Weevil smiles, but his face falls as well when he considers how little control he suddenly seems to have over his boys.
A middle-aged Latino couple sits in Keith's office at Mars Investigations. The man tells Keith that their son Marcos was killed in the bus crash. I hope we've heard about all the victims at this point. I know "We'll never forget" was the catchphrase several episodes ago, but now that the merchandising craze is over, it's time to move on. Keith offers Kleenex and sympathy by way of overdone hand gestures. The dad tells Keith that he and his wife are being harassed, and produces a model of a school bus, many of which he claims have turned up in their house. Also, sometimes they smell the cologne Marcos used to wear, and that they've been getting phone messages in Marcos's voice. Keith makes some weird faces here, and I'm hoping Enrico Colantoni was on some flu medication this week or something, because if whatever's affecting his acting choices isn't temporary, we're going to have a problem. The dad goes on to say that the messages are nonsense -- just old recordings of Marcos's. If one of them talked about how much he's looking forward to a career in retail, I think I can translate the meaning for you. The mom pipes up to say that they should just take "Ned's" advice and sell their house, but the dad isn't having it. Keith asks if they want him to find out who's been harassing them, but the dad says he knows who it is -- he just needs proof.
