Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 5 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT Her Name Is Luka...
By Couch Baron | Season 1 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.08.2004
In the parking lot, Logan and Weevil have been ordered to wash Mr. X's car. Logan sasses Mr. X some more, and Weevil chuckles. I think Weevil's a little taken with our fey little sociopath. Someone should contact the estates of Tony Randall and Jack Klugman about music rights. When Mr. X is gone, Logan spits on the car and starts polishing. Hee.
Veronica walks into a clothing shop and tells some guy she's looking for Luka. The dude informs her that Luka didn't show up for work, and suggests that she ask Andre where Luka is. He snittily tells Veronica that Luka talks about Andre all the time -- how brilliant he is. How down-to-earth. How...WB. From the way this dude's delivering his lines, not to mention the retail setting, I was sure he was meant to be the gay friend. Dupe on the part of the writers, or evidence that this actor has trouble controlling his pilot light? You decide. Veronica notes that I'm Not Gay, I Just Like Folding Clothes doesn't like Andre, which he confirms, saying that Andre and Luka fight all the time, and he has a bad temper. Also, INGIJLFC is concerned, since Luka hasn't missed a day of work since she started there. Veronica asks where she can find Andre...
...and she's walking into a small art studio. She finds Andre, who looks really put out to see her, and in retrospect, this whole scene is a pretty ham-handed attempt to make Andre look worse than he really is. Anyway, Andre isn't concerned about Luka's disappearance, saying it's par for the course for her. Veronica calls him on the fight they had on the balcony. Veronica can't believe that Luka's mom didn't know Luka was pregnant, but Andre tells her that she and her mom hadn't spoken since she left Ohio. Veronica asks about the thump she heard in the night. Andre: "That must have been when I cracked her head open with a candlestick and she crumpled to the ground. No, wait -- that was Professor Plum in the study." Hmm, that wasn't my guess. I thought it was you, right here in the studio, with a razor-sharp set of canines. Oh, no. That's the scenery version of Clue. I'd add, too, since I'll probably forget later, that we never find out what caused that thump, which is a pretty damned glaring oversight, if you ask me. The repartee is interrupted by the appearance of some butterface in a robe. She strips, and tells Andre, "Let me know when you're ready for me, Picasso." That's a more apt moniker than you know, honey. Because he could paint your face right into Guernica and no one would be the wiser. Andre dismisses Veronica.
