    "Perfect"
    By cavanagh15, Jan 15, 2009 Report Abuse
    After an entire season full of people playing around with the evidence, Aaron walks free of all charges that would have put him in prison forever. Now he is out and about and I wonder if he will do anything in the main storyline again. Will he eventually get to jail? I think it would be funny at this point if he was somehow involved in the bus crash and went to jail anyway. I don't even know how he could be involved though. Maybe he was in it the entire time with the mayor? Or maybe he needed Meg to die because he slept with her to? I'm stretching but at the same time I would be surprised if this man, who we know murdered Lily Kane, walked free on this show from now until the show ended. The bus crash case has been absent for two episodes, but the show is going a lot of character building and ending. Jackie changes her mind about France until her Dad basically sends her away. She writes Wallace a note instead of saying goodbye to him the right way. Veronica skips out on her final exam, which will now put her at Hearts I think instead of Stanford.

    I cannot wait for the conclusion to this arch. I still am a big believer that season one finished a lot stronger then season 2, but with a 9.71 rating the finale has got to be the best of the season! Right? Right!?moreless

    Wow this must bhe one of the best episodes ever. I was on the edge of my seat from the first second. Woody's secret shocked me the most. I was shocked to see Aaron echolls found not guilty. I hope that something will change there. He can't go unpunished. I can't wait for the season finale.It has the capebility to be even better then last seasons finale. It would be shocking if itb was woody, but I think it had something to do with Veronica and Aaron.But how is it connected to the Fitz Patrick's. We will have to wait and see....moreless

    Maybe not everything, but all of season 1 basically gets destroyed this episode.

    Perhaps the most nerve wracking episode of the show so far, witgh so much going on at the same time. Love the fact that the Aaron Echolls trial came to a conclusion now . Surely, at the start of the season nobody would've thought that he can come clean. But he did.

    After a season full of our beloved characters toying with the evidences, it shouldn't come as a suprise. But it does. Logan stealing and destroying the original tapes was the stupidest thing he could've done. But of course, Kendall stealing Duncan's hair was a big one too. Or... Veronica not being truthful enough to her father. The trial scenes were amazing and were really dramatic. Seeing Veronica getting humiliated and Keith flipping out was amazing. The bus crash investigation is very close to the end and Woody Goodman's case isn't looking good. It's revealed that he molested several children - along with Lucky it appears.

    Oh, Lucky. What a great opening - felt sorry for him, actually.

    Jackie breaks up with Wallace because Terrance is although free, he's forced to work with the man who he owes money to. Hmm, with one more episode to go, I surely am hoping a conclusion to the Jackie arc. Wallace has to meet talk to her once again.

    Now before getting into the finale, a little season recap.

    The first 13 episodes were absolutely amazing, ranging from 9 to 10 out of 10. Episodes 14 - 17 were a bit slower and instead of going in a straight line, the writers side tracked the plot a bit to explore the characters, but still in the 7-8 range. But since episode 18, the show has picked up and is probably even better than the first part of the season.

    What does this mean? Well, for me, this is, as of now, the strongest Television season based on the ratings. Not too bad! And the finale is yet to come. But seriously, can it be anything lower than a 9? I don't think so. Well, let's see...moreless

    I thought that this episode was really good but i can not believe that Aaron got away with killing Lily. I was shocked that the jury believed his lies about what happened between him and Lily and also what happened the night that Veronica found out about him killing Lily. Too bad Duncan was not around for the Trail because he could have testified against Aaron. I also can not believe that Veronica found out that the mayor was abusing boy on his little league team. I want to know why the boys fingered Weevil for Felix's murder why are they framing him?moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • When Veronica is talking to Beaver about his car that has been keyed, Hart is standing next to him. He informs Veronica that "he didn't say anything". He's referring to the time he showed her and Weevil a video that made it clear that Logan's mother had committed suicide. (Season 1, Episode 14: "Mars vs. Mars") Weevil threatened him in case he unveiled the video to anyone. Edit
    • If Veronica has been listening to Ahoy, Mateys! non-stop, why didn't she recognize Marcos's voice when she first heard Lucky's clip? Edit
    • When getting the text message from her dad, Veronica had her cell showing "Jan 4, 9:37 am". Because the Alterna-Prom took place on May 13th (per previous episode), it had to be at least one week after that. January 4 was probably the date the episode was filmed. Edit

    • (Beaver teaching algebra to Weevil) Beaver: Okay, okay, okay! (pause) So let's say that you and your buddy, you want to buy a twelve pack of a certain item. Say, like, um, like spark plugs, for x dollars, and you want to find out how many of another item, like, um, I dunno, like oil, right, like oil that you can get for the same amount, except oil is y times as much as-- Weevil: If this is your idea of terms I'll understand, I'm going to kill you. Or myself. It's a toss-up. Screw it, man, I'll just cheat. Beaver: No, but... what about my car? Weevil: You know power buffers, right? Well, let's say your door panel is a summer home, right, and you need to clear out the south lawn to make a tennis court so what you got-- Mac: F-O-I-L. (they turn around and see Mac at the next table) Mac: That's all it is. First, outside, inside, last. All algebra, it's just the formula. Edit
    • Veronica: (voiceover) After a week of forced smiles and the occasional 'hey, it's time for business as usual.' Ain't epic love grand? (she approaches Logan) Been to any good murder trials lately? Logan: Uh, I have. You give an excellent testimony, by the way. Edit
