Oh yes, it's Winter Carnival time in Neptune. Now for me, and many people I know, Winter Carnival means snow sculptures, keg jumps, and naked polar bear swims in the local pond. In Neptune, it's deciding whether you should spend the money for the class trip to go to Catalina or Magic Mountain. Winter Carnival central is Mrs. Hauser's class. Mrs. Hauser is often complaining how awful it is to have to teach, and is often wondering when her ship will come in. From past episodes, I think she is just horny, and she shouldn't complain about having to take care of awful kids, because her kid is perhaps the worst of them all.

There are some joys to teaching at Neptune, like Madison Sinclair, one of the stalwarts of the Student Council, who is busy preparing some of the signs for Winter Carnival, although she is having a bit of trouble. Mrs. Hauser's student aid, JB, is helping Madison and he is a little messy with the glue. This leads Madison to exclaim "Do I look like I enjoy being covered in white goo?", which gets everybody in the room laughing. But come on Madison, you used to go out Dick Casablancas, so we already assumed you like to be covered in white goo, because Dick's sole purpose in life appears to be covering as many things with his goo as possible.

Although Madison may be having a hard day, it's nothing compared to poor Jackie Cook. We used to sort of hate Jackie when it looked like she was using Wallace, but recently, it seems that she has actually sort of fallen for the good guy. Although she isn't the wealthiest 09er, her dad might be the most famous now that Aaron Echolls is waiting to stand trial for murder. BTW, I know they were trying to allude that he might not be prosecuted for the Lily Kane murder since Logan destroyed evidence, but there are enough charges stemming from his run in with Veronica and Keith that he would be put away for a long time, likely longer than the series would air. I would suggest one nice twist would be for the owner of the home that Aaron Echolls broke into to file a civil suit making Logan poor, but there is already too much that story line has to juggle as it is now.
