Episode Report Card 3 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT I Turn My Camera On

Logan's on the phone with Parker, and he's actually quite happily telling her that he's got tons of frequent-flyer miles, and that they'll visit each other every other weekend if she's up for that. I like the subtle reminder that Logan's net worth no longer has enough zeroes to make you stop counting. Dick semi-staggers in with a beer in his hand, which can only mean that, somewhere in Balboa County, there's a kidnapping in progress. (Hey, if the show's not going to stop giving Keith shit, why should I?) Logan continues his chat until Dick's voice comes in from offscreen: "The night my brother jumped off the roof, did you, like, try and stop him?" Of course, the lingering stain outside the Grand is pretty much proof that Logan didn't try and stop Beaver, but now's probably not the time to lecture Dick on the subtleties of usage. Logan, interestingly, declines to tell Dick that he actually did try to stop Beaver, opting instead simply to ask if everything's okay. Dick tearfully laments one time when he duct-taped his brother's feet to his bike's pedals and then forgot about him for hours, and when he finally went outside, Beaver was still riding around in circles. And whoever Sally may have been, I doubt she lasted long after that incident. Logan: "Dick, I'm not sure spending Happy Hour with your dad's the best way of dealing with all of this." Logan and understatement: two great tastes that taste great, if rarely, together. He kindly (but not empathetically, and given his relationship with his own dad, that's a nice nuance) offers to take Dick surfing the next day, and Dick gratefully agrees, although he says he's going to bring along a 24-pack, just in case. Your metabolism won't last long at that rate, kiddo. Just ask Chip Diller.
The Sink Girls are walking when the nice one sees a copy of the Aspen photo on a bulletin board. She reads the note on it, which says that the writer met these cool people on a ski trip, but she didn't get their contact info, so anyone who knows it should email vmars@aol.com. Nice Girl asks her busted roommate if she should jot down the address. I don't really get this, though -- the address is recognizable as Veronica's, so why doesn't the girl pretend that she'll do it herself and take down the poster when the coast is clear? It probably won't work, and maybe she assumes there are copies all over campus, but it's better than playing right into Veronica's hands, no?
