Mars Investigations. Harmony is looking at a photo of what's-his-name and what's-her-name kissing. She starts to babble about her options, but then Keith plays a tape of "Marvin" telling "Carly" that he's married with a family. What's more, he followed up by handing off the account to an associate to remove himself from having to work with Carly. A lot of posters were aghast at Keith's unprofessionalism in stringing Harmony along like that. I agree, but I also think that professionalism is not going to be a cornerstone of this relationship, should it continue, so perhaps we should just count it as an example of fiveshadowing and leave it at that. Upset, Harmony leaves, but not before she gives Keith a lingering look that suggests perhaps we haven't seen the last of her.
Sometime later, Veronica interrupts Keith's reverie to ask him if he could help her out getting hold of an ATM photo. Keith says a monkey with a friend who's a bank representative could do it, and Veronica asks "Bubbles" to get to work. Hee.
In front of the administration building, Veronica catches the frats on their way in to their hearing. After expositing that Claire woke up alone in the park at 5AM, she produces a photo of a very drunk-looking but as-yet-unshaven Claire with some random non-frat Asian guy behind her, which was taken at 2 AM, two hours after the Haunted House closed. She calls it "proof of innocence," an assertion with which many posters were quick to disagree. I think perhaps she meant that they're clear of the charge that Claire was raped during the Haunted House, which was probably the idea behind the whole hearing, since that was the last place she was seen. As many posters also pointed out, though, it's unfathomable that the stuff Veronica uncovered wouldn't already have been discovered by the local law. I know Lamb's only been in one scene so far this season (and I hate to get sidelined by complaining about that, but COME ON), but COME ON. Reasonably distasteful errand completed, Veronica turns to go, but stops cold when she sees something in front of her. After a beat, she walks by a group of unamused feminists, including Parker, Nish, and Claire. VMVO: "When did the Greek chorus of feminist shame arrive?" This is one of those situations where any joke will get me in trouble. I'll risk a "hee," though.
At "Calvert Academy," the real Charlie Stone gets out of his car and is hounded by reporters. Well, that's terrible. If only he were receiving some sort of financial compensation to ease the emotional distress.
