Mars Investigations. Veronica tells Keith that, according to Beaver, Logan bought Lilly a shot glass that read, "I Got Baked In Ensenada." Veronica opines that Lilly would have loved it: she collected shot glasses. Fitting though it might be, I don't exactly need a shot of anything to deal with the shock of that revelation. But I'll keep one nearby, since it may come in handy on this show. Keith asks if she's okay, and then his brain catches up with his ears as he realizes that the shot glass in question was found in Lilly's car during the murder investigation. He asks if Veronica knows what this means. Well, I think it means that, out of the teenagers she's dated, one was a drug dealer, one was her brother, and one may have murdered her best friend. Hey, come back, Icetwin! You're looking awfully good by comparison!
School. Garbage's "Bad Boyfriend" plays. Veronica, seemingly between classes, spies Logan at his locker. He sees her, and pissily turns his attention to his books. She dons her best fake I-don't-suspect-you-of-murder smile, and walks over and greets him. He looks around, and snarks, "I exist? I thought I felt different today." Well, if you're feeling that different, perhaps you can get through the episode without a fey mannerism. Remember, if you flip me off without keeping your wrist locked, I win! Veronica confesses that she's been avoiding him, and says she freaked out about how close they were getting, and felt guilty about Duncan and Lilly, and the night was tough enough to begin with. Logan understands, but wishes she had just told him this instead of bolting. He confesses that he's freaked out too, because with the Koontz revelation, Duncan seems like the most logical culprit, knowing what they know about his condition: "I have this feeling that things are gonna get really bad." I guess he's not talking about the cold sore on his lip, because that's already there. Veronica says she needs a couple more days, and then she'll be back to normal. Logan's a little disappointed, but agrees, and kisses her on the forehead.
When he's gone, Veronica calls Keith and tells him what Logan said, and then asks for news. Keith informs her that the Tijuana border patrol got back to him, and that Logan left Mexico just before 9 in the morning on the day Lilly was murdered. Veronica breathes that Logan had plenty of time to get back to Neptune and kill Lilly. They hang up, and Weevil emerges from the empty classroom behind Veronica. I'll note that Logan's locker is mere feet from that classroom, and no one else was around before Veronica came on the scene. Hey, I'm just employing full disclosure, much like Weevil and Logan. Sensing Weevil's presence, Veronica turns, and says that the call wasn't what it sounded like. Weevil: "It sounded a lot like Logan killed Lilly." Oh, then it was what it sounded like. Weevil adds that "these rich boys think they can get away with anything." He leaves, and Veronica's left to consider whether she really wants her normal "an eye for an eye" philosophy applied to the guy she's currently dating.
