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

On the bus, Veronica and Duncan hold hands again. Some people on the boards were concerned at how touchy Veronica is being with Duncan, but it seems to me she's been like that with all her boyfriends, pre- and post-Lilly's death, so I don't see the inconsistency. I may see the distaste sometimes, but that's another story, Behind them, Dick calls out for "Miss Dumb-Ass." The journalism teacher cheerily corrects him that her name is actually "Dumas." Dick tells her that it stinks back there: "I think someone died." Yeah, probably. She invites him to sit closer to the front, but he declines. He then sees the girl who pushed past Veronica earlier, who looks like she's wearing a different bad wig, and ask Duncan who "the lovely young flower blossoming into womanhood" is. Duncan: "Let me guess. You want to pluck her." Veronica looks wryly amused by all this, but the group dynamic is starting to seem a little far-fetched. I mean, we have seen Dick and Duncan at the same 09er table in flashback, but I never got the idea that they were that close, and if Dick had any loyalty to Logan, you'd think he'd be a bit colder. Also, even if Veronica isn't harboring any resentment over the body shots, you'd think that if she felt strongly enough about the pool and related incidents to break up with Logan, she wouldn't be tee-heeing over Dick's dialogue, amusing though it may be. And finally, I'd like to know with which of journalism, broadcast news, or yearbook Dick's involved. Because unless he's doing a think piece on board wax, I'm not really buying it.
Logan gets out of his Humvee and knocks on the door of an 09er house that's not his. Charisma answers the door in a red satin robe, and Logan asks if Dick and Beaver can come out and play. Charisma invites him in, and drops her robe to reveal nothing but skin underneath. Wow. That never happened to Eddie Haskell.
Steve Guttenberg is telling his audience that he's no purist. I certainly never would have guessed that from Police Academy 4 or Three Men And A Little Lady. Steve is in a Sharks jersey, and he's telling the Neptune kids how much he loves the long ball and how he's spent all his money on hitters. Since the Yankees won the division title yesterday, I won't make a comment. Steve says that he knows some of them from Little League. Also, he's running for mayor of Neptune, and he thought it was important that his daughter "Gia," she of the bad wig, attend public school in Neptune. Are we to believe that there's a private-school alternative in Neptune and all these bazillionaire parents send their kids to public school amid all this festering class tension that's now necessitating metal detectors? We are? Okay, just asking. Anyway, Gia waves to the kids as Dick ogles her. Beaver, however, looks bored by her chirpy voice and stupid hair. I think I love this kid. Steve says that Gia's favorite class at her old school was journalism, so Steve hosted this little outing so that Gia could make some new friends. Dick smarms, "Hello. Friend," and his leering smile is far more hilarious than I can describe in print. Gia makes a stupid speech about how she's dressed, and then Steve tells us that she's a cool kid, despite all the early evidence. Meg seems to like her, but she's been off her game lately.
