Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B- | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Summer Of Love And Hate

Veronica holds Duncan's arm as he single-handedly attempts to close down the buffet table. He tells her that he never played Little League, and she in turn expresses her fear that he'll get love handles if he eats everything on his plate. He replies that he has an excellent metabolism. I guess his metabolism was on vacation in the strip poker scene wherein he had his arms folded over his gut. I mean, it's all relative, but there's certainly no need to eat like a linebacker here. Veronica and Duncan see an attractive black man they seem to recognize appear next to Steve and start berating him, but Steve calms him down and introduces him to the group as "future Hall of Famer Terence Cook." Everyone applauds. Dick comes over to Duncan and Veronica, puts his arms around them, and tells Duncan that they're not taking the "stank-ass bus" back to Neptune, as his dad's sending a limo. "Would you and your girlfriend -- whose quick wit I find enchanting -- like to take a trip back in style?" Hee. He adds that their teacher said it was fine, and Duncan readily agrees. Veronica hesitates, but gives in. After Dick's gone, she says she feels dirty. Duncan flirts with her, badly, and then she observes Dick talking to Meg, presumably inviting her along for the limo ride as well. Meg looks over at Veronica and gives Dick the tight-lipped smile and head shake of "Not in this lifetime, Surfer Boy." Veronica tells Duncan to go without her: she's going to try one more time to talk to Meg. Duncan says she doesn't owe Meg anything. Well, she doesn't, but don't you think you might, after you pursued her and then up and dumped her out of nowhere? Oh, look who I'm talking to. Veronica tells him he's "so not a girl." In other words, what you did was not kewl. I should add that I don't know why Meg came on this trip. It's not like she could even enjoy the buffet with the taste of rising bile in her throat.
Cook appears by the happy couple, and Veronica tells him he's her dad's favorite player of all time: "He keeps your rookie card vacuum-sealed inside a safe." Cook's flattered. He might be less so if he knew that the card was surrounded by guns and murder files, but you never know. Cook shakes her hand, and Veronica dorks that her dad won't let her wash it ever again. Cook asks who her favorite player is, and Veronica hems and haws until Duncan tells her to be honest. Cook asks if it's Johnny Damon. Veronica: "He's so pretty." I hate to react adversely to other people's expressions of personal taste. Nonetheless, ew. ["Word. Caveman much?" -- Wing Chun]
