Logan enters his dark house, evidently hoping that his dad has gone to bed. Not so much. Creepily backlit from the pool, Haaron tells Logan that the phone's been ringing every five minutes -- Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, E!. Apparently, Haaron doesn't believe that no publicity is bad publicity. He advances on Logan as his tone becomes more menacing. He tosses Logan onto the couch as he says that Logan doesn't have any idea what he's cost the family. He tells Logan that the next day after school, he's going to get his first lesson in public relations: "Logan, don't you ever embarrass me again." And this from the man that participated in the L.A. Law movie. And appears to be wearing a gold watch on each wrist. Oy. Logan half-glowers, half-cowers us into the last commercial break.
Veronica's handing out bumper stickers plugging Wanda. She tries to give one to Weevil, but he declines it, although he looks happy enough to see Veronica. Uh-huh. He tells Veronica that Felix got busted for having all the "Welcome to Neptune" signs in his bedroom, and that the bust happened, coincidentally enough, a week after he started hooking up with Wanda. Let's play detective for a moment: we know that Felix stole a bunch of signs. We also know that he hooked up with Wanda. We therefore have enough evidence to form a conclusion. That being that Felix is a big weenie. See, the Marses aren't the only detectives around here! Veronica looks confused.
Veronica catches Wanda in the hall and suggests that they go to a rave in the desert that weekend to celebrate, "win or lose." There's a joke about John Kerry on Ecstasy in there somewhere, but I can't make it just yet. Besides, that's kind of a scary image. Wanda wonders if they need any "provisions," and Veronica says they do, "with a capital E," but that she knows a guy. Wanda's down, and walks off. Veronica's smile fades. You're just now figuring out this chick is a loser? You're usually one step ahead!
In Miss Dent's class, it's time to vote -- again. VMVO wonders whom she should vote for, calling Wanda "potentially duplicitous." And not to mention a bad fashion influence. Veronica flashes back to herself and Duncan holding hands at a lunch table. Some dorky kid sits down next to Duncan. Lilly and Logan are across the table, and the four of them make small talk until Ugly Owen Wilson appears and moves the dorky kid's tray to another table. Duncan sticks up for the kid, impressing Veronica. I like the fact that Logan wasn't a dick to the kid -- I think he probably would have been if Duncan and Lilly weren't around, but I'm betting that the two of them together were enough to rein him in. Back in the present, Veronica considers her decision.
