Veronica finds Luke and tells him she's cashing in the favor he owes her for helping him. He doesn't remember her saying she'd ask for a favor. Veronica: "It was implied." Hee. Luke is wearing an A's jersey, which, on the one hand, is a nice touch, considering we know what a huge baseball fan he is. On the other hand, it's hard to believe any self-respecting 09er would willingly associate himself with anything as down-market as Oakland. Luke laughs, because he's one of the nice guys, and Veronica asks him about the trip to "TJ" with Sean and Logan to buy GHB. Luke says that was a year ago, and that he doesn't have any now. Veronica: "I was gonna spike your juice box and have my way with you." Given the prime candidates for the rape at this point, you could do a whole lot worse. Luke says he gave the GHB to Dick, and the clause I just wrote about Veronica does not apply to Luke. In flashback, we see Dick, Luke, Sean, and Casey (from "Drinking The Kool-Aid") doing shots. Nearby, The Beav is talking to a girl, and Dick complains that The Beav is getting all the love "and Dick's flapping in the breeze." I could take that in a number of different directions, but no matter which way the wind is blowing...well, let's just say it's convenient that the points East and West are collectively "EW!" Also, I'd point out that if The Beav is talking to the "easy freshman" he later mentions, it means Logan couldn't have left until a fair amount later, even according to The Beav.
Luke tells Dick that he's got the hottest girlfriend ever, and given who we find out his girlfriend is, I wonder what definition of "hot" he's using. But I looked it up, and one definition is "unusually lucky," which applies to Madison both in the family into which she was accidentally switched, and in the reveal later in the episode about the drink. Thanks, "Hot" Definition #13! Dick complains about Madison's fake boobs, and that she's on Atkins. The diet apparently didn't last, but you probably didn't need me to tell you that. Dick asks if the guys got "stuff" in TJ, but Sean says he's saving his for a special occasion, "and this isn't it." Well, it's just too bad that Sean had to keep his wits about him during the poker game. Because if there's anything more special than Duncan and Logan standing around in nothing but reindeer boxers, I bet Sean hasn't seen it. Veronica enters the room, and Madison snottily wonders who invited her. Dick massages her shoulders, but she snaps, "Can you not be all over me for five seconds?" Whether I ever see her again or not -- and I pray the latter is the case -- I'm willing to bet that that's the most reasonable thing I will ever hear come out of her mouth. She walks away, and Luke gives up his GHB to Dick in sympathy. Everyone chuckles about how funny it will be to take Madison's ability to consent away. If it merely removed her ability to talk, though, it would be worth a laugh. Or fifty. Kidding aside, though, Luke's casual attitude about the potential drugging, considering he's once of the nice 09ers, speaks volumes.
