    This is a really good eposide because i think it's good that Logan has a half-brother. And i think that the show should go into that more. It also in a way goes into veronica and Logan relationship in another way that i liked to see. Actully I can't wait to see this up coming eposide. But I think Logan was happier just to have some guy around that wasn't beating him and not some girlie girl like Trina. But i thought it was more sad that he later found out that it wasn't really him. I think that logan took it really well. I think he got all the anger out with the one punch he did. But again i hope they go more into that. And i also hope that Logan and his real brother get to met.moreless

    I really liked this episode. I enjoyed seeing Logan ask Veronica for help and her dad pitching in too. It was interesting to see Logan opening up to Charlie and sharing some painful episodes about his family, trying to make Charlie realize he was probably lucky he wasn't raised in Aaron's home. And I felt genuinely upset to find out that surfer Charlie was a reporter trying to trick Logan into giving him juicy information for a story. For once, Logan tries to open up and this is what happens. I hope he and his real half-brother end up getting to know each other.

    I loved Harmony. She has such a fun personality, and such great chemistry with Keith. It's too bad her husband was not cheating on her! The potential of their relationship is too strong for it to have just finished by Keith finding out her husband was loyal. I hope we see her again, though I'm not sure how she'll fit into the story.

    As Veronica takes the case for the Pi Sigs, she upsets a lot of women on campus, since it looks like she is on the fraternity's side. Unfortunately, no one understands that she is objective and she was using this as an opportunity to snoop inside the fraternity house. Hopefully she'll get to the bottom of the rapes before there is another victim. I still cannot believe how clueless Dick is. I guess money does buy success, at least at Hearst College.moreless

    I really liked parts of this episode which were well written. For instance, the beginning with Logan coming to eat dinner with Veronica and her dad was very cute, and it was nice to see the bond between Veronica and her dad which Logan references later in the episode. I did not think that Parker/Nish/all the other women needed to be so mad at Veronica just for trying to uncover the truth. They were trying to blame someone without proof, but it was clear that Veronica was not on the frat guys' side. The deal with Logan's half brother was interesting, but I was disappointed that Veronica displayed her untrusting nature again when she didn't believe that Logan had really met his half brother. I was glad that Charlie Stone didn't really exploit Logan for a story.moreless

    Not the best or one of the best episodes of the season so far, but it sure was entertaining! The case of the week was fairly interesting with Dick hiring Veronica to prove the innocence of his frat house, which Parker wasn't very happy with!

    Logan's part of the episode was probably the most interesting, I mean I never really liked him that much but he was great in this episode, mainly because he found out he had a half-brother, not to mention the fact that a reporter from Vanity Fair was pretending to be his half brother, but Veronica found him out in the end and his real half-brother was getting stalked by that paparazi.

    Lastly, I loved Keith's subplot, but that was probably only because his "Just Shoot Me!" co-star Laura San Giacomo was in this episode with him!moreless

    • When Veronica is telling Parker about her rape, she says "I've been understanding since Shelly Pomroy's end of the year party, Summer 2004" but in episode 20 of the first season, when Veronica realizes the video of Carmen was from the night she was raped, it says the party took place on December 7, 2003 ... Same parties, different nights. Edit

    • (noticing Veronica's suit) Keith: You start going to church or you addressing the Junior League? Veronica: Bland is the new hot. Edit
    • Nish: Veronica. It's good to see you. Veronica: And that's where we differ. Edit
    • Veronica: Do you really think I came in here thinking 'hmm, Parker's getting raped. Now where are those movie tickets'. Parker: No. You just figured the whore was getting her freak on. Veronica: So, you're really mad because I thought you were a whore? Because lots of people think I'm a whore. Parker: Don't pretend for a second to understand how I'm feeling. Veronica: I understand exactly what you're feeling, Parker. I've been understanding since Shelly Pomroy's end-of-the-year party, summer of 2004. I'd give you the details, but they're a little fuzzy. Parker: Uh, I-I didn't... I had no idea. Veronica: Not something I open with. But now that I've got your attention... (she takes a step closer to Parker) I will find out who raped you. That's job one. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Keith: Is it possible your boyfriend's financial problems are just his champagne wishes and caviar dreams biting him on the ass? This is an allusion to the television show Life of the Rich and Famous. Hosted by Robin Leach, the show featured the extravagant lifestyles of wealthy and well known individuals. Leach ended each episode with the tagline "champagne wishes and caviar dreams". Edit
    • Character Name: Harmony Chase This is the combination of two character names from the hit WB and, later on, UPN series Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Harmony and Cordelia Chase. Also, Cordelia Chase was portrayed by Charisma Carpenter who plays Kendall Casablancas. Edit
    • Veronica: Don't even think of alluding to having seen me naked or having touched any part of my body that does not have fingers. Logan: Can I mention that my eyes adored you? Logan is quoting the Frankie Valli No.1 hit from 1974, "My Eyes Adored You." The point of what he's telling Veronica is in the next, implied line of the song, which goes "Though I never laid a hand on you," which is what she'd like her father to believe. Edit
