School. Veronica seems to be waiting for someone. Presumably, it's not Dick, but that doesn't stop him from appearing and doling out some fake comfort about the Kendall bombshell. "If you're gonna date an heir to billions, the occasional afternoon quickie -- you gotta let it slide." I think Donald Trump's kid is going to look upon Dick as an oracle. And "Dick" and "oracle" appearing in the same sentence has got to be a sign of the apocalypse. Dick goes on to say that girls like Kendall let guys do "vile stuff. Really vile stuff." Hee. Veronica shoos Dick away, and then approaches Duncan, who's shuffling his feet and looking guilty about something. Veronica asks where he was the day before and, finding him untruthful and unforthcoming, drops the Kendall bomb, loudly enough for a number of onlookers to hear. Duncan shiftily denies knowledge of Kendall's being in his room, but Veronica barks that she doesn't trust him anymore: "I'm nobody's fool!" It's too bad they couldn't afford Duane Daniels for this episode, because it would have been awesome if Principal Clemmons appeared at this point, pointedly clearing his throat. Duncan heatedly says that Meg is dead, and that he can't see his daughter, but by all means, Veronica should make it about her. Veronica yells that she's the one who's alive: "I'm your girlfriend!" Duncan rolls his eyes: "Not anymore." I guess Dick really wasn't kidding about the things Kendall will do. Veronica gapes, all, "Oh no you DI-IN'T!," as the onlookers give typical "Oh, SNAP!" noises. The really sad thing is that anyone keeping track of Veronica's most embarrassing school moments has no need to change his top five.

Keith, making a sandwich in the kitchen, hears the depresso-fest kick up, but continues with what he's doing. Perhaps he thinks that if anyone knows things could be worse, it's Veronica. More likely, though, he knows it would be a mistake to try to counter the power of maudlin music on an empty stomach. Veronica lies on her bed and zones.
Cut to Veronica emerging from her room and heading into the kitchen as Keith and Backup watch with interest. Although Keith's interest is the "I'm worried about my daughter" type, while Backup's is more "I hope she gets over herself soon and takes me out, because she'll be even more depressed if I'm forced to pee in her favorite shoes." I'd say both forms of concern are quite valid. Veronica grabs an entire container of cereal and a jug of milk and woodenly heads back into her room.
