Okay. Neptune Grand. Logan's already in the elevator when Veronica runs in ahead of the closing doors. They give each other an annoyed look, and Logan says, "Hi ho," which he then tries to cover as an "off to work we go" reference. Uch. Is he making fun of her for being short? Because we've been over the "ho" ground before, and far more amusingly, and for Logan still to be this nasty to Veronica when they've been hanging out in the same suite for several episodes is tiresome. After some Seven Dwarves-themed back-and-forth, Logan exposits that Duncan doesn't come out of his room: "He must have really loved Meg." Well, so did I, but I've still managed to get outside every once in a while. Veronica snits that it might also be because Duncan isn't being allowed to see his baby. Logan: "A baby? How'd that happen?" If memory serves, it was by Caesarean and off-screen. Inside, Veronica heads toward Duncan's door as Logan sighs, "Time to fake the Donut." Ew. I forgot how flat this scene felt to me. First off, since Logan and Duncan's reconciliation as best friends was made such a big deal of and Duncan's been generous enough to let Logan live with him, Logan making cracks about Duncan's lack of sexual prowess doesn't ring true. I mean, Logan's a jackass, but it's crystal clear that he likes Duncan a lot and that Duncan's friendship is very meaningful to him. And secondly, as Jason Dohring said in his interview, most of Logan and Veronica's snarky interactions are crisp in that way that makes you think that, underneath, they actually care about each other. But in this scene, they just seem bored and completely over each other. Not good. Anyway, Veronica pauses when she hears Duncan's shower running, and we see Kendall emerge from it while wrapping a towel around herself. The towel will come in handy -- they'll need something for cleanup after Veronica uses her eyebeams of death to dissolve Kendall into a small blob of goo. Veronica asks what she's doing there, and Kendall breezily says that she was invited. Veronica then storms out, and Logan takes the opportunity to observe Kendall's bare back as she dons a bathrobe. Logan: "Lost?" Well, it's true this episode has been slow to get going, but I'm not quite ready to change the channel yet. Kendall says that Logan shouldn't be so smug, since he's just going to call her the next day saying he wants some company, which doesn't satisfy her. Logan: "Really? You always come." (I'm surprised that one got by the censors. I mean, even if they didn't get the double entendre, you'd think the embarrassed look on the glorified hooker's face would raise a red flag.)
