Episode Report Card Joe R: C | 5 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT The Less You Know
By Joe R | Season 3 | Episode 16 | Aired on 04.30.2007
Back on the couch, Mac's regaling Max with tales of her purity test scam, which also doubles as her "how I met Veronica" story. Max is duly impressed, and they share a moment of rebel techno-geek bonding. Somewhere on campus, Bronson starts to hear a tick-tock sound, and he has no idea why.
Across the room, Logan approaches Veronica and asks if she's "checking out the talent." And either Dohring barely got that line out without cracking up or...is Logan smiling? For no reason? If Parker's this good, we may need her mood-altering skills to be put to use for the greater good. Particularly if a certain surly senator from Arizona ends up inside the Oval Office. Veronica asks the question on all of our minds: "How is it you have so many friends? You don't even like people." I'd be more shocked to find out that people like Logan, but I guess I have always underestimated the charm of mumbly, anti-social sourpusses. He says he was prepared to see her with a date tonight, and she tries to laugh that off. He says that maybe she should try "branching out," though. See if there's anyone worth a second look at the party tonight.
Mac and Max and the sofa of geek love. Which reminds me that the last time I enthused about Mac and a geeky love interest, the guy ended up being a mass-murdering psycho. Of course, Max is way cuter than the Beav, so: reservations quelled! Anyway, the law of reciprocal communication means that we're now talking about Max's nefarious activities. No, not the hooker thing. The selling tests thing. He says that between curriculum changes and new TAs to bribe, it can get exhausting. "Tell me you're a business major," she laughs. Nope: philosophy. "I think, therefore I am," he says, which elicits a heap of giggles from Mac. Max looks at her for a long moment, then goes, "Seriously, did my friends hire you?" It's not that dumb of a question. I mean, "I think, therefore I am"? Mac might need to raise her standards for comedy a smidge.
Some overly coiffed Swingers reject approaches Veronica and says that Logan told him she was a "big-time swing dancer." Over the dude's shoulder, Logan raises his drink with a smirk. It's a funny prank if you're not pulling it on your own ex-girlfriend who's pretty clearly not entirely over you yet. In which case it's kind of a dick move. Speaking of which, Dick exposits to Logan that his MySpace dates are into a "doublemint" situation, and they sent him on a search for some "playthings." "Do we have any peanut oil?" he asks. Bad idea! If I can't have peanuts on an airplane because of fears about peanut allergies, Dick definitely has to opt for the canola oil here. Nobody wants the fun, sexy atmosphere of a threesome interrupted by a downer like anaphylactic shock. "What about an ice bucket?" Dick asks. Next thing we know, Dick's down at the ice machine, filling up, when a stopper gets wedged beneath the ice room door by a rather stylish open-toed shoe. When Dick turns around to see who's locked him in, he sees Amazon, who tells him "Lisa is a friend of mine." "Who's Lisa?" Dick asks. Lisa is ScarNOTo, who calls Dick a "dipwad" (score one for Lisa) and says the next time he's "perving" her profile, he might want to check out her friends list, not just her pics. Then the two girls saunter off down the hall and into the elevator...where they start making out as the doors close. At which point Dick really wishes he'd have grabbed that oil instead of the ice.
