Recap: Veronica Mars: Don't Ask and (More importantly) Don't Tell

vm1-30-07

This latest episode of Veronica Mars was all about leading us into the mystery of the death of Dean O'Dell, and the mystery of why Veronica wants to maintain a relationship with Logan. No really- why DOES V want to maintain a relationship with Logan? Is he THAT good in bed?

More on that later. We begin with V and Logan chillin' at the Hearst food court, scene of many romantic LoVe dates, including today as Logan feeds his girl a french fry. He even dips it in ketchup for her, which I'm sure is a blatant sexual metaphor. He shows V an article in the Hearst Lampoon about the egging outbreak the night of the Dean's murder. It seems that eggs were flying all over campus, and the Violent Femmes/Lilith House girls are the ones responsible. Even if they aren't admitting to it, those girls know what to do with their unwanted eggs.

Weevil interrupts their LoVe lunch , and lets slip to V that the Dean's office was egged that night too. Something not lampooned in the Lampoon's map-o-the-crime. V knows that this info. will be important to her dad, who is presently obtaining the police report on O'Dell's "suicide". Sheriff Lamb tries to give Keith a hard time about wanting the file, but Keith says he's just trying to solve a crime and maybe Lamb should do the same.

Post-lunch, V is approached by Max to see if she will solve a case for him. Max is the dude that runs the campus cheating program, and although he couldn't help Wallace buy a passing grade- he wants V to find the woman that he loves. Problem is , he only knows her first name and that she's from Poughkeepsie. That's it.

It seems he met Chelsea at a ComicCon, and after some hot and heavy mental flirting over Battlestar Galactica they retired to his motel room for a passionate evening of whatever sci-fi geeks do. No offense to sci-fi geeks, but I only know what reality television geeks do. After a tearful goodbye at the airport, their love connection was broken when the personal info she said she left for him was mistakenly picked up by housekeeping. Months later, she sent Max a text saying she's marrying her ex b/c he never called her. Max kept trying to call the number back, but a guy always answers and says that he doesn't know a Chelsea. V agrees to take the case, and when she calls the number she starts digging a little further and finds out that the guy is from the Poughkeepsie area, but is actually a student at Hearst!

So- V walks over to find the phone (and the guy) right back at the food court where she finds the text message on his phone. The guy is still clueless, but then Max's roomate Brian also works there. V gets Brian to confess to sending the text. It seems that Brian and Fred (Max's friend) hired a hooker to take Max's virginity at the convention. They coached her with all the appropriate things to say to turn on a BSG fan, like pinching her nipples so they'd look like she was hiding photon laser guns under her force field (really I'm trying but I don't know how to turn on a sci-fi geek except to dress like Princess Leia). Brian sent the text from his coworker's phone to try and stop Max from pining for a girl who wasn't what he thought she was.

"No offense to sci-fi geeks, but I only know what reality television geeks do." And Bonobo geeks too.

great recap Zoobabe!

i don't understand why Veronica is with Logan, but i love Logan--i really LOVE Logan. next to Gauis Balthar (BSG) and Riggins (FNL) Logan is my favorite character on any show--i'm partial to Hiro (heroes) too, but for different reasons. i mean Logan is pretty messed up, but he is working on it--and he adores Veronica.

where is Wallace?

Veronica cannot be pregnant.

Great recap Zooby! I'm so proud!

Did anyone else think of pearl when they made all those dragon references?

"Next week previews show V telling her dad that she's PREGNANT! Do you guys think it's true, or are they just misleading us to suck us in?"

I think they are misleading us. Let's face it they did it this week. How many times did we see previews that showed Veronica talking to Logan all shaky voiced about how she couldn't get past this. That scene never happened and was in the previews for next week now.

After the ep I was watching something on my DVR that taped earlier and saw that ad again and - there it was that same missing scene followed by the words "On tonight's Veronica Mars". Liars.

The show was good enough on it's own - it didn't need the lie to lure me in.

thanks for the comments everyone! Thanks also to J-Unit for providing the screencaps.

I don't think that V is preggers either. I think it's just a misdirection.
