    I really liked this episode. Like we've come to expect, the list of people who are out to get Veronica seems to be increasing steadily, as her discoveries are not always met with kind eyes. Wallace is facing his own troubles, having been caught cheating and now must decide what's more important to his future. He made the right call IMO (no real spoilers). As for Keith, his life is about to get more complicated when he starts "going out" with the not-being-cheated-on-unhappily-married Harmony (hm, contradiction in terms). Meanwhile, Veronica is running around trying to find out who's trying to get her kicked out of the only class we've really seen her in ;) The runaround brings on quite a few revelations, and makes you think maybe not everything is what it seems. On the rapist front, Parker thinks she recognizes something about the guy who raped her, and everything seems well, until an alibi pops up from an unlikely source.moreless

    I loved this episode. It's a bit on the darker side, with some of the supposed "good guys" making not-so-good choices. It's all about cheating this week.
    The episode opens with Claire, the most recent rape victim, being expelled for faking her rape when it's found out the guy she was with that night is her boyfriend. The Dean also asks the newspaper editor to step down...seems Veronica's only making more enemies. It's unclear what Claire's defense or motive is. I'd like to find out in later episodes.
    Veronica is the only one in her class to earn an A on her criminology paper. The teacher of the class, Professor Landry, even offers to be her faculty advisor. Of course, she hits a snag - Veronica is accused of plagarism when her paper is nearly identical to one posted online a year ago. This story was really well done, and it reflects the overall theme of the episode pretty well.
    After Wallace gets caught cheating in his Mechanical Engineering class, he decides to take a 0 for that test but keep with the course, even when given the option to drop it. He made a huge mistake, but he's accepting responsibility and working to make up for it. Wallace's story this episode is the kind of "but wait! there's hope!" aspect. I love Wallace. I loved his story this episode.
    Meanwhile, Harmony (played by Laura San Giacomo, who, if you don't know, costarred with Enrico Colantoni on Just Shoot Me!) gives Keith a call and asks him to a movie, since her (not unfaithful after all) husband and daughter are out of town. Seems Keith might have to deal with a different kind of cheating. The two of them are fantastic together and I'm psyched to see Harmony in later episodes.
    On a lighter note, Piz asks Veronica to go bowling with him "and Wallace and the gang". Wallace bails to study like a good little Mechanical Engineering student, so it ends up with Piz, Veronica, and Logan and Parker, who she invited. Poor Piz ends up looking like he asked Veronica on a date...Piz is completely adorable, but he's got no chance, at least while Logan's around.
    Although Parker is initially upset with Veronica, thinking she's tried to set her up with Piz so soon after she was raped, she quickly warms up to him and asks Veronica to try and see if he likes her. She seemed a bit quick to jump back into the boy game after what happened, but hey, it is Parker.
    Parker and Veronica run into Mercer (the guy running the illegal casino out of his dorm, remember him?). Parker says she remembers his cologne from the night she was raped. Of course, Veronica looks into that. She finds some interesting evidence, and a major development occurs in the Hearst College rapist case. Also, tension may be building in the Logan-Veronica relationship.
    This episode was a bit different in that most of the stories had a strong common theme, cheating. Clearly, this leaves it with a bit of a darker feeling than usual, but it's very well-executed and draws the viewer in. The stories present cheating honestly, without excuses, preaching or pretending. It's definitely one of my favourite episodes of Veronica Mars so far, probably the best of what we've seen of season 3. The writing delves a bit deeper here, and it works.
    This episode would get a 10/10 from me if it weren't for one thing: where is Mac? She's been absent for various reasons these last few episodes, and I'm starting to miss her; I liked her character from the beginning, and was looking forward to watching her character develop further after the events of last season. The episode doesn't really suffer from her absence, but I'd like to see more of her anyways.moreless

    I was absolutely gutted to hear (earlier this year) that VM was on the road to possible cancellation. I am so abolustely enthralled by this show, and this season is really good. VM made the transition from high school to varsity with complete ease and grace.

    I liked this episode, as Veronica isn't always given a chance to investigate her very own pressing and personal matters. Not too sure how I feel about her getting used, but nevertheless.

    In my not so humble opinion, they need to get on with developing Parker and Piz's personalities. Piz is so scarce, that I always need to remind myself who he is again.moreless

    This was my favourite episode for series three. It was old Veronica Mars again. I have really missed the way they were written in series one and two and it is starting to get back there. It was also really nice to see some great Veronica and Logan dialogue. I have felt a little cheated there recently. This show is one of the few things that I really truly look forward to during the week and I hope that the show can keep up its high standards so I keep getting drawn in to watch it. Please don not be a repeat of so many shows that can not make it through their first year at college.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The internet based plagiarism detection service used to detect plagiarism at Hearst College is similar to TurnItIn.com, a plagiarism site universities and colleges around the world use to detect cheating on papers and reports. The site Max uses to search for Veronica's paper, www.universitysavior.com, is fictitious and the domain is owned by and redirects to Warner Bros. Edit
    • When Mercer introduces himself to Parker, she doesn't reply with her name, and yet as she leaves, he says, "Nice meeting you, Parker." Edit
    • When Piz throws the bowling ball the first time, you can see it's headed straight for the left gutter. It doesn't have a spin (nor does he seem the type who could put a spin on it), yet somehow it ends up in the middle of the lane to knock eight pins down. Edit

    • Logan: Uh, darling, what size are those dainty feet that I love so much? Veronica: Six. Edit
    • Wallace: So, you figure out what was up with that plagiarism thing? Veronica: As a matter of fact, a paper just like mine was posted online by roryfinch@hearstcollege.org. A Hearst email, but there's never been a student by that name. The address was set up three days ago from an IP address at... get this... the Neptune Grand. Wallace: After you turned in your paper. Veronica: Um-hm. Wallace: So, you're off the hook. It's over. Veronica: Ah, my innocent and naive Wallace. When I find out who did this, and I make them sing like the proverbial fat lady, that's when it's over. Edit
    • Veronica: Just, Mac's had this project all week and Parker's all alone. I think we should invite her along. Logan: Um, how very Emma of you. Veronica: Did you just make a Jane Austen reference? It's official, the end of days are upon us. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Veronica: Okay. You're Rocky. Mechanical engineering is Mr. T. "Eye of the Tiger" is playing. Veronica uses the plot keys of the 1982 movie Rocky III to motivate Wallace on taking on his mechanical engineering studies. Mr. T was the title character's boxing opponent in this movie and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" accompanies 'Rocky' while training for their rematch after losing their first fight. Wallace doing a mechanical engineering comeback after his cheating, being a easy comparison to Sylvester Stallone's character in the third installment of the Rocky series. Edit
    • Max: This must be a real Kafkaesque experience for you. Reference to writer Franz Kafka (1883-07-03 – 1924-06-03). More specifically to the novel (and later movies) The Trial, in which the main character awakens one morning and, for reasons never revealed, is arrested and subjected to the judicial process for an unspecified crime. Edit
    • Keith: It's great talking to someone for whom 'bogart' isn't a verb. Humphrey Bogart is the actor playing private eye Sam Spade in the movie The Maltese Falcon (1941) that Keith and Harmony just saw. The verb to bogart means to bully someone into doing something against their will, or to refuse sharing something. Edit
