Koontz, with some difficulty, tells Veronica that Amelia got $3 million from the settlement with Kane Software, and tearfully begs Veronica to find her. Veronica calls a hospital to get the location of its ER entrance, and then accedes to Koontz's request, but "only because [he] begged." Aw. She's such a soft touch with the terminals.
A deputy tells Logan to step forward out of a lineup. He doesn't instruct Logan to give a monologue about the experience that's gayer than Cirque Du Soleil, but that doesn't stop our boy.
Later, Lamb tells Logan that he might want a lawyer, but Logan blusters that he'll take the first sober public defender available. Well, I hope that's Cliff, but I don't know how long it's been since Election Night. Lamb menaces that Logan won't even make bail without a hearing, and that even if he makes it in front of a judge, Lamb will use his influence to have Logan declared a flight risk. Logan sort of weirdly smirks to end the scene.
College campus. VMVO says that Amelia's paper trail dried up at the end of May, so she's checking into her personal ties: "Last I saw her, she was tied pretty tightly to a certain boyfriend." Let's hope said boyfriend didn't set any pools on fire in June. Veronica knocks on the boyfriend's door and, when he answers, addresses him as "Mike."
Inside, Mike -- who I don't think is the same actor from "Kanes And Abel's" -- tells Veronica that, after finals, Amelia showed up with a bunch of money and took him to Europe, specifically Ibiza. They jet-setted around for a while until one night, they were at a club that dropped "this foam crap" on you at midnight. Once that happened, he never saw Amelia again. Veronica: "Did you check under the foam?" Hee. Mike says he had to call his parents to fly him home, which sucked. Veronica asks if Mike isn't worried about Amelia, but he says that Amelia swiped his phone cards, so she could call him if she were in trouble. Because if there's one thing three million bucks can't buy, it's a phone call across the Atlantic. Mike says he doubts he's going to hear from Amelia, but that you never know; she might call if she's really on the rocks.
Veronica checks with Amelia's roommate, but she hasn't heard from her. The roommate is surprised at the Ibiza news, since Amelia was hardly the "Girls Gone Wild" type, and the roommate practically had to drag Amelia to the "Greek booze cruise" last year: "Or maybe it's true what they say: Money changes people." Wow, Amelia didn't want to hang out with a bunch of drunken fratty louts who lick their fingers, paw a girl, and say, "Let's get you out of these wet clothes"? Thank God she came into three million dollars to cure such deviance!
