Logan's pad. Veronica and Logan tear into a couple of burgers, which seems like the perfect time for Veronica to ask if Logan has ever been with a hooker. See, this is where I'm probably too cynical for my own good, but Veronica? It's Logan. I just assumed the answer would have been a resounding and really quite obvious "yes." They have some banter about whether it would improve their relationship for Logan to answer such a question. Logan throws up roadblocks and explains that they're on landmines and slippery slopes and Mexican water and all sorts of dangerous things. Thank god Max arrives to forestall any more probing into the murky depths of this particular Veronica-Logan dynamic. Max regards Logan uncomfortably as they all stand around thinking, "Awkward," and mutters that he didn't know "Chelsea" was a hooker. "No one's judging you, man," Logan assures him quickly to keep him from confessing anything else.
Time has passed, and it seems to have been a long night because we're now watching the trio watch Sense And Sensibility. That's just so...random. I mean, I love that movie, but waiting around for a hooker doesn't exactly scream Jane Austen. They should have themed it up with My Own Private Idaho, Taxi Driver, or a little Pretty Woman (at least for the shopping scene!). ["If they wanted to go period...Moll Flanders?" -- Wing Chun] Veronica sighs over the delay, and just as Max gets up to use the bathroom, there's a knock at the door. After getting the nod from Veronica, Logan opens the door to Lisette, who smirks and slinks her way around Logan. Cue Veronica looking uncomfortable and wondering how many times he's done this. Lisette catches sight of Veronica and coos, "Ooh, well, hey there to you, too. I'm totally up for it, guys, but it's going to cost you extra." Max rushes into the room and stops short to say that's not his "Chelsea." Max pays Lisette as they start to shoo her out. "Well, if we're paying her anyway --" Logan suggests. "Honey?" Veronica snaps, giving her head a tiny, sharp, "we are not amused" shake. Lisette saunters out as Logan comments, "This is just waste." Meanwhile, on the other side of the door stands Hooker #2. "Hey, there, I'm Fiona," she says winningly, and with much less coo and slink than Lisette, so we know she's a Good Girl. She's also not wearing hot hooker pink as Lisette was, but a black top with white polka dots and a fluffy black skirt that almost touches her knees. "Chelsea!" Cheliona shrieks, ecstatically throwing herself into Max's arms. I guess they found her. Logan looks charmed by the sight, but Veronica is still looking uncomfortable with her arms crossed firmly over her chest.
