In the courtyard, Dean bids farewell to his charges, and Wallace enthuses about Hearst. Veronica's not completely convinced, but is warming to the idea. Speaking of which, Icetwin joins them and says that the charges were dropped; he thanks Veronica, saying she's a real friend. Veronica: "How about we just call me an acquaintance with reservations?" Call it what you want, Veronica, but if you don't stay in touch I'm going to be pissed. Icetwin good-naturedly bids them farewell, clapping Wallace on the shoulder as he goes. (It's the little things, you know?) Dean comes up to tell Veronica and Wallace that the Pi Sigs got a semester of probation, which means no mixers, no parties, and no sports. Oh dear. Without those activities, the school had better start offering "Sublimating Homosexuality 101" immediately to pick up the slack. Dean adds that it was because of Veronica's picture, and Wallace points out that if she comes to Hearst next year, she'll already have enemies. You just get more and more fluent in Veronica every episode, Wallace. Dean bails.
Frat house. Stacy is waiting in the main room when Gordo appears, saying he heard she wanted to see him. Stacy takes out his hair in a plastic bag and tosses it into the ceiling fan, spraying it all over. Kind of goofy, but whatever therapy works for you.
Neptune High. Hannah and the track team march through the parking lot, and Hannah sees Logan waiting for her. He blurts out the deal he made with her dad, and Hannah says she figured as much, but asks if that was Logan's plan all along. He admits it -- thank GOD, because I didn't want that debate to rage on forever -- and Hannah neutrally asks if he wants forgiveness. Logan takes a deep breath and says he does. Hannah's face softens, and Logan, realizing what that means, takes her head in his hands. Careful with that, Logan -- you already broke something of hers. I could analyze why Logan's so keen for Hannah to forgive him, but when Jason Dohring's already done it for me, why bother?
Chez Mars. Veronica arrives home, and explains that she's early because she ditched the goodbye hugging. Keith: "You? 'Miss Hug'?" No need for sarcasm, Keith. She simply doesn't understand why people squeeze her with their bodies. Keith starts to suggest that Veronica take a nap when there's a knock at the door, which is too bad, because I would have loved to see Keith in "Get Veronica Out Of Here By Any Means Necessary" mode a little longer. Veronica opens the door, and it's Daphne, asking for Keith. Veronica: "Dad. Your hooker's here." Don't call his escort a hooker, Veronica. Keith says as much, and suggests that she go to her room and "blog, or whatever you kids do." Keith, I'm not sure you want Veronica blogging about this. Lamb really might win the next election as a result. Anyway, Keith has no sooner taken the escort's hooker chic fur coat before Cliff pops out from the other room. Daphne knows she's busted, so she admits that a guy offered her triple her normal rate to pick up Cliff and swipe his briefcase. I wonder if she got some candy out of the deal as well. She doesn't know the guy's name, but she gave him the briefcase in the garage and left. They let Daphne go, but Cliff calls that he thought what they had was real. Daphne: "Just the welts, honey." Cliff's face falls, probably because he knows he should have just ripped off his shirt and been all, "Take a good look, because it's the last time you're gonna see these!" Maybe he just didn't want to make the forum posters cry.
