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

TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA-
When Keith is staking out the house and the neighbor comes in, he appears to turn off and then re-set the alarm. Note the green light, which usually signals a set alarm. However, when the neighbor leaves, the alarm doesn't sound.
-
When Veronica receives the e-mail, a previous e-mail from her father can be seen in her computer. This is what it says:
From: Keith Mars
Subject: Pick up food for Backup
Date: November 19, 2005 3:26:32 pm
To: Veronica Mars
Hey sweetheart,
I managed to forget some things at the store. 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

QUOTES (10)
ADD QUOTES-
Mac: You've got a plan, right?
Veronica: Ish. -
Veronica: A gun, Logan?! A GUN? What are you doing with a gun? You're gonna get yourself killed. Don't you understand that?
Logan: Look, it's... look, it's not even loaded.
Veronica: Oh, I feel so much better. -
Veronica: Did Duncan go to bed?
Logan: Yes. And he wanted me to tell you to give me your undivided attention. Pretend for a moment that your dog's life is at stake. -
Veronica: Sometimes a cigar store is just a cigar store.
Logan: I'll remember to be quippy when you're looking at twenty to life.
Veronica: Oh, you're being a jackass. Must be an even-numbered day. I do so prefer the odd-numbered days when you're kissing my ass for a favor.
Logan: You find out why this plastic surgeon is trying to get me sent away for killing Felix and I will make sure that all even-numbered days are removed from the calendar. -
Logan: Hey, if you could exonerate me sometime soon that'd be great. I really don't want bottom bunk in Fisty McRapesalot's cell.
Veronica: If you want a top, I'm sure it's negotiable.
Logan: Help me Mars-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. -
(After being bashed up, Logan grabs the phone from Thumper as they are dumping him, and Logan redials the 'Judge')
Weevil: Is it done?
Logan: Oh it's just getting started, Weevs. You have no idea the hell you have just brought on yourself. -
Veronica: Excellent work as usual, Q.
Mac: Right back at you, Mr Bond. -
Clemmons: (knocks on door) Vincent?
Butters: Um... private basement time, remember? (Veronica and Mac snicker)
Clemmons: You have visitors. Veronica Mars and her friend are here to see you.
Butters: Tell them I'm not home.
Clemmons: They're right here, son. -
Veronica: Camp Selfquest. Not to be mistaken for the elf-hunting camp of a similar name.
-
Veronica: (to Logan) Uh-uh, you're staying here. This takes a certain subtlety. But if I need anyone punched in the face, I'll whistle for ya.

NOTES (4)

"Ocean City Girl" by Ivy -
In the original script, Logan said he didn't want a bottom bunk in "Fisty McFistalot's" cell. CBS Standards and Practices did not allow this phrase, but somewhat strangely did allow its arguably more explicit replacement: Fisty McRapesalot.
-

ALLUSIONS (11)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
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. -
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.
-

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.
