When they started the episode in Duncan's apartment with The Big Lebowski playing, I decided that maybe I had been judging Duncan and Logan the wrong way. Sure they may have a limited scope when it comes to their compassion, but how can I fault somebody who clearly loves The Big Lebowski that much? Well, for starters, it wasn't Logan and Duncan who were watching the movie but Duncan and Veronica, and it was Veronica who was quoting the movie and laughing her ass off, while Duncan just wanted to make out. Now I can't fault him for wanting to make out with Veronica, but come on! The Big Lebowski? Just coast your way to the Kenny Rogers dream sequence and you are assured of sex and laughs!

Just as things are about to get hot and heavy, Logan walks in. He is not embarrassed that he walked in on his two friends at the beginning of their throes of ecstasy; in fact he rather enjoys interrupting their little session. I still think it would be smarter if he got his own hotel room, but he kind of enjoys the way Veronica gets agitated at the mere mention of his name, and Duncan still feels too little guilty about his relationship with Veronica to say anything about it. In fact, there are some ways that Duncan is jealous of Logan. Sure Logan has that whole murder trial thing he has to worry about, but in the meantime he gets to boff Kendall Casablancas, who arrives at Duncan's a few moments after Logan.

Veronica is actually really upset that Duncan seems not the least bit upset that Logan is having sex with another person's mom, especially when that person is also a good friend of his. Duncan explains that Kendall is not really anybody's mom, and he is not going to make fun of one of his friends just because he has hot sex on a platter. He would even ask her to buy them beer if she wasn't always so busy having sex with Logan. I think Logan is an idiot, but it's hard to argue against him because Kendall is a willing participant in the whole affair.

When Keith Mars lost out in the sheriff's race last week, he was disappointed for a number of reasons. For one, he generally believes that he is better at law enforcement than Sheriff Lamb, and in particular, he believes that he could be doing more for the bus crash. When he heard Veronica found herself involved, he was double anxious about the outcome of the investigation. Lamb has been stalling on him, but Keith is still good friends with County Supervisor Woodrow Goodman. I know that everybody calls him Woody, but seriously, how often do I get to write down Woodrow?

Ketih asks Woody if he has heard any news about the investigation, but Woody is not really interested. Now that he has power, he wants to use that power to help out the people by incorporating Neptune into a city, bringing in bundles of revenues. He had visions of being the next Carmel, which I am sure would be fine with Keith Mars if the plan was going to benefit more people. All of the revenues Woody was talking about would only benefit the parts of town that are incorporated, and Woody's plan included only the most affluent parts of the city, and he wanted Keith Mars to be the sheriff. Lamb would still be working for the county, but Keith wouldn't have to answer to him, at least within the confines of the new and better Neptune Woody Goodman envisioned.

Her father was getting nowhere with his investigation, but Veronica was going to be plunged into two of her own. She and Logan may be trying their best to show each other how much they don't need the other. We are pretty sure that Veronica is doing just fine with her new significant other, but when talking about Logan, it's hard to know if he is satisfied. Yes, he's having the hottest sex he may ever have, but it is just another one of his emotionally unfulfilling relationships. When he needs real help and is serious about it, he goes back to one person he knows won't judge him in his time of need - Veronica Mars. Veronica finds him in the in the girl's bathroom waiting for her, and he asks her to help him with his case. At first, Veronica tried to laugh him off, but when she saw he was serious, she decided to help out. Logan was worried that he was being set up by the witness to the murder case, and he wanted Veronica to help him found out who it was.
