    What promises to be a simple case of finding out who ran over a classmate's dog turns into a startling revelation when new secrets about the bus crash come pouring out and Veronica finds herself again revisiting Lilly's murder case. Meanwhile, Wallace and Jackie try to turn their relationship around the corner, and the PCHers turn to Weevil for protection from the Fitzpatricks.

    Wallace and Jackie had the best part to this episode and that would make three episodes in a row where I didn't feel what Veronica was doing was very "amazing." The ending of season one went about 5-6 episodes of all business. This episode is working on the case every episode, I'm just not as captivated by the case as I was at the beginning of the season.

    I think the main reason why is because last season I kind of thought it was going to be Aaron all along. This season they are going through a list of suspects and no one jumps out at me as being a "good villian" kind of thing. I would be disapointed if it turned out to be a random Fitzpatrick or Dick and Cassidy's step-mom. Obviously the fact that there are still three episodes left is good because it's likely not going to be one of them. Hopefully all the random loose ends will tie themselves up before the end of the season. I'm sure they will, but all those wild goose chases just seem to take up too much time.moreless

    Hmm, excellent episode with lots of twists and surprises , but most importantly, it gives us another possibility of who caused the bus crash and what for.

    Okay so - wow. See, that's what I love in this show. The episodic case starts off like any other and ends up being connected to the overall storyline more than anything.

    Easily the biggest... no, wait. Can't decide which one was the bigger surprise: Kendall using fake identity or Keith being in her house while Veronica is tailing the car.

    The show is really getting stronger and stronger as it's closing down it's 2nd season, every character and storyline seem to get more or less connected.

    The current suspects : Big Dick(LOL) Casablancas , Kendall Casablancas , Weevil(not likely), Woody Goodman, Terrance Cook, or the Fitzpatricks.

    Impressive list.

    Overall, this episode was just as great as the season itself , and it's nice to see the show gaining even more momentum. At this point thinking that the finale might be a let down is probably a punishable crime.moreless

    We find out that Kendall might not be Kendall, and not at all as stupid as she looks like. But is she as evil? Kendall, or should we say Pricilla Banks? Keith finds out that Kendall is in lead with the Fitzpatricks, they owe her after she took on guilt for their brother, her teenage love. They also finds out that she has a secret house, and that she has a motive to blow up the bus; If Dick and Beaver die at the same time; All the money goes to Kendall.

    Jackie and Wallace are trying to be just friends, but Wallace wants something more. Jackie says she can't, she has been accepted to the Sorbonne; in Paris! If they get togheter theit time will be limited. In the end; Wallace says he doesn't care. Five weeks, without a happy ending.

    Veronica has been hired to track down a guy who killed a dog on purpose. It turns out this guy mooned Gia, and that his name is Liam Fitzpatrick. He killed the dog cause the owners little brother is a PCH'er. Weevil uses Thumpers "Insurance" and he gets the Fitzpatricks off the PCH'ers back. They are so happy to have him back, but in the end he just walks back to his car saying; You are on your own no boys.moreless

    Wallace and Jackie are going to start dating, only until Jackie has to go to Paris. Veronica is hired to find out who killed a kid at school's dog in a hit and run, and what she finds helps out with the major plot also. After a quip at the Dick chaney shooting incident, Gia tells Veronica that the car that killed the dog was seen before the bus crash, mooning the kids in the limo. Veronica finds the car and it turns out to be Liam Fitzpatrick's grandma. When she searches the car she comes across a gun in the glove compartment and she takes out the bullets unknowing to the audience. Weevil was questioned by Veronica because after I Am God, it seemed that all arrow's pointed in Weevil's direction like "why was Weevil there in the first place?". Weevil said that he was watching out for Cervando because he had screwed over the Fitzpatricks and was bragging about it. Hector, the new pch leader(because thumper is dead) goes to Weevil and asks to help get the Fitzpatrick's off there backs. Weevil takes the paddle that the Fitzpatricks owned and photocopy's it as proof. He shows up and threatens the Fizpatrick's and they leave. Hector wants Weevil to be the new leader but he rejects it. We learn that Kendall was really Priscilla Banks and she stole an idenity from a dead woman so she could hide her personal records. Keith goes into her house and steals her harddrive and almost gets shot by Liam, but the gun he uses has no bullets because Veronica had taken them out earlyer.Keith escapes and we find out Kendall is working with the Fitzpatricks, Kendall had taken the fall for one of the Fitzpatricks so the family was in debt to her. New owners of the Kane's home find Aaron's Oscar buried by the pool. In addition to Lilly's blood, Duncan's hair was found on it.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In Kendall's wanted poster, it shows her height as 5'11". Charisma Carpenter, the actress who plays her, is actually around 5'7". Edit
    • While Keith and Veronica are looking at Kendall's high school yearbook, discovering her true identity, Veronica receives an instant message from AnonCuda411. The instant message is time-stamped 11:45am. In the next shot, the camera cuts to Keith with the clock on the wall behind him stating the time is 1pm. Edit
    • Liam Fitzpatrick should have instantly noticed that his gun wasn't loaded, since the lack of ammunition would cause it to be significantly lighter and very top-heavy. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Episode Title: Nevermind the Buttocks The title of this episode alludes jointly to Nirvana's Nevermind and the Sex Pistols' Never Mind The Bollocks albums. In the Space: Above and Beyond episode "The River of Stars" (1x12), the character played by Rod Rowland is given the Pistols' album as a Christmas gift. On Veronica Mars, Rowland is Liam Fitzpatrick, who figures prominently in this episode. Edit
    • Veronica: Good news Harry. Don't see a lot of Cudas except on Nash Bridges reruns. Nash Bridges was a cop show that ran from 1996 to 2001. It starred Don Johnson as Nash Bridges who drove a bright yellow Barracuda convertible the entire series. Edit
    • Mary: Now excuse me, but I'm missing Vanna and Pat. Veronica voiceover: And what enjoyment, exactly, do the blind get out of Wheel of Fortune? As Veronica very well knows, the blind Barracuda owner references to the game show Wheel of Fortune hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White. It's been spinning since the mid 70's, and made household names of the hosts in question. Edit
