    Veronica helps Keith determine who is haunting a school bus crash victim's parents, currently embroiled in a suit against the school district for negligence.
    Meanwhile, after Logan asks for help fighting the murder charge against him, Veronica stumbles into a dangerous situation with the local Irish mob. Later, Weevil's leadership of the P.C.H. Bike Club Boyz is put into question.

    Duncan is beginning to have nightmares about his now dead girlfriend, Meg. He opens the letter at the end of the episode but there is not indication on if we will discover what the letter says anytime soon or not. This episode was a step back from the past couple of episodes, but still a fun episode to watch nonetheless. The bus storyline is now coming into play in little pieces. Nothing as far as who caused the crash, but in this episode we deal with some family members who lost a son in the crash. It's not pointing us in the direction of who caused it, but it's still keeping the bus crash fresh in our memory - very un-season one like which is something that I am a fan of.

    Something I am not a fan of is the lack of following up on some storylines. At the end of the last episode we left Lamb outside of a house waiting for something - but no mention of him at all in this episode. Two episodes we got Veronica Mars paired up with the main man over at Kane Software, but nothing has been said about the dead girl or the boyfriend who he went to find in Las Vagas. It was an enjoyable episodes with usual Veronica Mars drama, but I think a step down from the two that came before it.moreless

    Okay -- this is probably the first time in season 2 that the episodic case wasn't really related to the overall storyline. But still, it had enough surprises to keep me entertained, but unlike most other S2 episodes, it didn't particularly make me care for it.

    However, there were many other nuggets in this episode that simply pumped up the score - and the excitement level.

    The screentime distrubition between Logan and Duncan turned around in this episode, Duncan only got 2 scenes - 2 dream sequences. They were fantastic though, the guilt Duncan's feeling is eating him up and thus neglecting Veronica.

    Now my favourite part: the beginning. Veronica finding her way into the Fitzpatrick nest was a brilliant scene with Logan coming to the rescue. The guy has style.. Eli's biker gang is definitely falling apart, as it seems he has some members doing their own business. Also - them kidnapping Logan... heh... Maybe wasn't the smartest move, Logan might have chickened out seeing the gun(Great performance by Jason Dohring, btw!) but surely he has some tricks up his sleeve.

    Okay, the whole pirate radio thing was rather funny, especially that the radio is broadcasting from the principal's basement. Veronica quickly setting up Mac as Vincent's lover -- priceless scene.

    The "meh" part was Keith and the family,I felt that other storylines might have deserved more screentime, but besides that, another excellent episode, just didn't have the depth of the previous few.moreless

  • Veronica and Keith investigate the bus crash further by solving the "case of the episode" where the Oliveras'family (who lost their son in the crash) is being tortured by someone. But that isn't all that happens in this episode...moreless

    The Oliveras family, one of the many families who lost a child in the bus crash, is trying to find who has been torturing them by leaving tiny busses behind and other forms of reminding them about their sons death. Turns out it was an admirer of the son who was mad at the parents for making him reject his homosexuality. Weevil is also trying to solve his own case of Felix's death by kidnapping Logan and asking him questions, only to play Russian Roulette as Logan screams that he doesn't know anything. A very chilling scene I might add, everytime I watch this episode I cringe when the masked man pulls the trigger, even though nothing happens. Once the torturing is over, Logan is thrown down a small hill, only to reveal he is holding the phone used to call the man asking the questions of him, he hits redial, and discovers its Weevil, in which case he threatens him. Even this episode has its drama that the show is known for, the humor is there as well. As Veronica tries to find out more regarding Carlos Oliveras, her and Mac stumble upon Vice Principle Clemmons front porch only to discover that Carlos was on a Neptune Radio show that made fun of all the students with Clemmons' son Vincent "Butters." Duncan also dives in further into Meg's stuff and decides to open a letter left for him by her. The Episode ends with Duncan holding the letter saying "Oh MY GOD!" hmm i think I know what that says!moreless

  • I can't get enough of that Logan and the weird sense of humor that he brings to every episode.

    Logan's scene in the bar where he saves Veronica is classic. Not only does he save her but he does it in his usual comical way. He walks into the bar and jokes about his ankle bracelet and how the police could find the bar by tracing it. I know that his is supposed to be the jerk but it is his brave but stupid move in this episode that makes his character so lovable. Also Veronica's emotional outburst about Logan carrying a gun and how it was so stupid help to fortify that their definitely is still a strong connection between the two no matter how much she may or may not love Duncan.moreless

    • When Veronica receives the e-mail, a previous e-mail from her father can be seen in her computer.

Can you get Backup's food, some orange juice and call and let me know if you'll be home for some famous Mars-Mistery-Meatloaf, I promise not to use those onions you hate. Oh, and it won't be "well done", unless requested of course. Love, Dad Edit

    • Thumper: It's The People's Court, Junior. You're on trial for the murder of Felix Toombs. The People's Court was the first court reality show that didn't use actors. Nearly 2500 episodes were aired from 1981 to 1993. Edit
    • Weevil: You know you should be nicer to me.
      Veronica: Or you'll huff and puff and burn my house down?
      Veronica is bastardizing a line from the well-known children's fable, Three Little Pigs, substituting "blow" for "burn" as that was what the PCH'ers did to Logan Echolls'house. Edit
    • Captain Krunk: Rosemary's Baby, The Teen Years. Rosemary's Baby was a best-selling horror novel written by Ira Levin in 1967. It was turned into a very popular movie in 1968 by Roman Polanski. Edit
