Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Summer Of Love And Hate
By Couch Baron | Season 2 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.27.2005
Back in the coffee house, VMVO gives the rather obvious view that a lot happened to her over the summer, and then Veronica turns off the TV. Her friend complains that she was watching it. Now, I'm no editor, but given that this episode is stuffed fuller than a FEMA suggestion box, I'm thinking that scene could possibly have been cut.
School. VMVO tells us that senior year is a fresh start, and that she should try not to screw it up. Wallace falls into step next to her, and she bellows, "Seniors rule!" and body-checks him. Hee. Percy Daggs, for his part, does a good job of pretending that he just got hit by something that weighs more than any product made by Nerf. Wallace complains that Veronica didn't call him back the night before. Veronica: "Don't go getting all girl on me!" Wallace informs her that he failed his drug test, just as Kelvin and five other athletes did, while "Jimmy Day," the starting quarterback, passed even though he regularly partakes of certain herbal remedies. He's probably a little young to cry glaucoma. Veronica tells us that, in Neptune, nothing happens accidentally, just to give the themes of normality and class warfare a break in the rotation. Wallace tells Veronica that one 09er did fail the drug test -- Meg. Veronica's shocked, and starts to stride away purposefully as Wallace asks if she'll help. She's all, duh, and gives the obligatory Pacino "Just when I think I'm out..." Godfather III quote. That's how I feel running through my DVR series record list every at the beginning of every season, honey. Credits.
They've updated all the cast shots, and added Ryan Hansen and Kyle Gallner (Dick and Beaver) to the main cast, along with some girl named Tessa Thompson. Well, a lot seems to be going on this season. I'd sleep with one eye open, New Girl.
School. Wallace is telling Veronica about the procedure for the drug test. Considering that he doesn't get more specific about a certain part of it than that he "[went] into the stall and [did his] business," I'm wondering exactly what it was they tested. But I guess it's safe to assume that it's urine, or Wallace would be babbling about the magazines he got to look at as part of the deal. His point, anyway, is that no one could have switched the samples. Veronica asks Wallace when he's working "office aid" this year, but Wallace tells her he's not. Veronica: "Yeah, that doesn't work for me." Yes, there have been some subtle indications of that, such as ALL YOUR INTERACTIONS LAST SEASON. Wallace blames his mother -- she wants him to get a better education -- but produces a copy of the master key and a number of administrative passwords. Veronica says she's going to try to find a connection among the people that failed the test, and asks Wallace whether he has any enemies. Wallace volunteers the Klan, which Veronica rejects. Wallace: "I guess that leaves everybody that hates you." Veronica gives him a sardonic look. Wallace then asks where "your boyfriend" is, and is told that he's taking the first couple of days off school to visit his dad. Ooh, party foul, here. If you're going to misdirect, you have to do it seamlessly, and I can't imagine that Veronica wouldn't say Duncan [SPOILER!] was visiting his parents, unless Jake got sick of Celeste's crap and got Wiedman to shut her up in his own special way. Which...would be pretty cool, actually. In addition, Wallace asks why "he" would want to visit his dad, and Veronica agrees that it's crazy, and again...not so much, considering it's Duncan. This is a little cheap, I'm sorry to say. VMVO says that she'd like to continue to have a secret relationship, but that it's going to be next to impossible...
