Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: B | 4 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT The 09 Is Even Worse Than You Thought

Later, Veronica watches Edwin read from a huge book while voicing over how freaky he is: washes his hands voluntarily, colors inside the lines, does not speak ill of IT. He looks over at the clock, whose second hand is sweeping 12, and rises to replace the book on the shelf. "May I please color now?" Uh, yeah? Veronica's phone rings, and she tells Duncan things are going "disturbingly well." She's already nabbed some of Edwin's homework for their writing sample, and she's planning to "snoop after he goes to sleep...which should be in exactly thirty-four minutes." Duncan says he finds it hard to picture Veronica babysitting, which it is, because she hates all people but I'd imagine especially tiny ones. Instead of taking this as a compliment to her prickliness, she goes the girlfriend route: "Maybe because it's such a Meg thing -- you guys did it so much!" Good, good acting here: instead of making it an "I'm sick of Meg" moment, it's a "I have respect for your girlfriend in a coma." Duncan is...regretful? Awkward? Confused?
Logan knocks on the Fullers' glass door and Veronica jumps. Duncan wonders if she's all right, and she blows him off: "It's just a really big bug. I'll call you back." At the door, she hisses, "I said 10:30!" She stops by the dining room to check on Edwin, whose crayon box prominently reads "JOSHOLA," which I assume is an adorable inside joke. Veronica tells Logan what she's scared up -- in the five seconds between Sex Ed class and her arrival at the Fullers' house -- about his witness. Dude's name is Tom Griffith, and he's a "well-respected plastic surgeon." Logan scoffs because "there are no respected plastic surgeons," but gets confused when he sees the guy's picture in the file. (Girlfriend is thorough!) That's not the guy from the bridge, he contests, and -- even though she knows what's coming -- Veronica narrows her brows: "You said the whole night was a blur." He lied. Of course. She gets kind of aaargh, but Logan clarifies: "I didn't want the guy found! I didn't know what he was going to say...I knew I was free and clear if they never found him." Makes sense, if you're down with Logan Logic. Veronica hears the Fullers return, and throws Logan out as he's yelping, "I need your help! The guy's lying!"
Edwin's parents come in all creepy, and Veronica's nice and friendly, Edwin's such a dream, et cetera, and Mr. Fuller escorts her out: "We'll definitely call you again. We have a standing dinner date with friends on Fridays...Saturdays, of course, I'm on my boat by myself if you ever wanna come by, smoke a J, fool around...We usually do a day trip about once a month with my boss, if you don't mind working on a Sunday." Veronica's kind of stuck on the whole "fool around" part, although Meg just got a lot cooler for me personally, and Mr. Fuller is very friendly and not creepy as he passes her a drawing Edwin did for her and says goodnight. The picture is of Veronica, with her head flying through the air and blood spurting all over. Wow. This Neptune place.
