Logan, however, suggests they try a "practice run" on Catalina Island. Oh, Logan -- romance never ends well at Catalina Island. I would have thought you'd know this, considering you must have seen Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. Logan suggests that they skip school and take a ride on Haaron's boat, complete with dinner and a movie. Some people on the forums thought this was an elaborate setup for a high-school date, but it's not like Logan's going to be doing any of the work, and besides, having dated and been best friends with a Kane, I doubt it's going to make Veronica swoon. At least not physically. Veronica agrees, and Logan smilingly confirms that it's an actual date. To which someone will be late. Veronica notes that it's nice of Haaron to let them use the boat, and Logan smiles that he thinks Haaron actually likes Veronica. The millipedes are back in force. Also, it seems like Haaron's blessing of this relationship is pulling him and Logan closer together, which is another relationship that has the potential to put nuclear testing explosions to shame. Logan also starts to imply that he thought she could use a good time "when I heard that stuff about your parents..." Veronica's face falls as she asks what he's talking about, and Logan has probably never been happier to hear Dick's voice calling to him. Although I don't know how he's going to explain this one, particularly since Veronica's sporting "Trina's" bag. Maybe he's depending on the depths of the dumbness of Dick. Logan says there was something in the paper, gives her a place to meet him, and heads off to join Team Casablancas. The meeting place is the "Albacore Club," which if I remember correctly, is a Chinatown reference. Phew. Here I thought the foreshadowing was looking kind of grim, but that turns things right around.
Veronica looks through the paper. In the classifieds section, she finds a "Notice of Service" for a certain Lianne Mars. VMVO reads the ad aloud, in case Dick is watching. It states that legal proceedings have begun in Lianne's name. You know, that ad isn't exactly front-page news. I don't think Logan just happened on it -- it would fit with my speculation last week that he's playing his own twisted little psychodrama with Veronica. Between Weevil's comment about leopards not changing their spots, and Haaron's comment that Logan is like him, I think Veronica's in for a very rude awakening here. It's happened so many times that you'd think she'd just forego sleep entirely, but that does produce nasty bags under the eyes. Veronica makes a call to Cliff, who's with a sassy young black woman who just happens to be Loretta Cancun, the dancer at The Seventh Veil, mentioned in the pilot but never shown. Okay, continuity guys. Now you're just showing off. Loretta sasses about entrapment and testifying while Veronica, unable to hide the dread in her voice, asks why someone would place a notice such as the one she's looking at. Cliff runs through a list of possibilities. Despite the fact that many happenings are causing high blood pressure in this episode, Cliff's inclusion of "divorce" on his list probably isn't going to have anyone reaching for the digitalis.
