Episode Report Card Joe R: C | 2 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT The Less You Know

Over at the Triangle D'Pimp-Juice, Miranda is clearly vibing on Piz, telling him that she listens to his radio show, and touching his arm, and being generally all up in his area. Wallace looks disappointed but also secretly happy his buddy is getting his swerve back. ..."Back"? That's not the right word. He's developing a swerve for the first time, which is of course a very special time in a young man's life. And just then, like a kamikaze of blonde self-centeredness, Veronica goes shooting into his arms with a "There you are!" She whispers to him that this is an emergency situation and he has to pretend to be her boyfriend so Double Down Trent over there will leave her alone. Piz, the schmuck, is all too happy to play along, which about causes Wallace's eyeballs to roll clear out of his head. After Piz heads off to fetch his "lady" a drink, Wallace pulls Veronica aside for the come to Jesus. "What you're doing is cruel," he says. And he's not talking about the lounge lizard. He tells her that Piz has a thing for her and she's smart enough to recognize that, and if she's a good person, she'll put the kid out of his misery. Veronica looks like she gets it just before Piz returns with drinks and Wallace returns to Miranda. Hey, he's a good friend, but he's not that good of a friend.
Veronica beckons Piz to the balcony for some air. She begins a combination apology/clearing the air/letting him down easy speech about how she's been caught up in her own romantic drama and their signals may have gotten crossed and -- and that's when Piz leans in and plants one on her. Man, I really have to compliment that romanticism and sexiness of that right there. Then again, the people on the boards are right, it's totally akin to sexual assault, Piz just cutting Veronica off and kissing her without indicating or asking or getting the required forms to HR by the 5:00 PM deadline. What an asshole. Okay, pardon my sarcasm and all. But just because the Logan/Veronica fandom has decreed Piz to be the Riley in this situation doesn't mean he's a sexual assaulter right here. Besides, that would make him the Spike. He kisses her, he smiles, he walks away. The "all in" callback as he passes Wallace is clearly criminal, but nothing else is. There are grips that really need to be gotten.
Back on the balcony, Veronica's looking like something just dawned on her. That something may be the fact that Piz is totally cute and funny, but that could also just be me. And before I can even begin to worry that this will be like when Ross pined for Rachel on Friends for a season only to follow that with a second season of Rachel pining for Ross (and third through tenth seasons of the same, but regardless), Veronica follows Piz out to the elevators and kisses him right back. Yay! And then the elevator doors open to reveal Logan! YAY! Veronica looks guilty but not entirely regretful as Logan brushes past without giving her the satisfaction of a scowl. As I said in the recaplet: suck on THAT, Bumfights.
