Veronica begins college with Logan, Wallace and Mac, but is immediately drawn back into old detective habits when Piz, Wallace's new roommate, gets all his stuff stolen. Meanwhile, Keith helps reunite Kendall with an old love, recently released from prison.
If there is one show this show always did well, it's first episodes that start long storyarchs being nothing short of perfect television. Everything just seems like it flows well. Veronica's first couple of minutes solving the crime case in six minutes was actually really good. I like that opening a lot and I thought it was funny that she really does always seem to rub people the wrong way the first time that she mets them. The most interesting dynamic in this episode was the relationship between Veronica and Logan. They are back together again in college and things seem to be moving very well all things considering. Veronica's Dad is none to happy that they are off together, but he at least seems to ebe content with it. We are introduced to a new character named Piz. I'm glad that they didn't try and bombard us with a new cast right off the bat, though I must say I hate the new theme song with a passion. Piz seems like he is going to turn into a main character and the small confrontation between Logan and Piz seems like it could turn into something a little more drama-related sometime in the future. Keith's storyline was okay, but it was the worst of the episode. The ending to the story was good, it was getting there that kind of made the flow of the episode go away for me. All ready a different feel with Veronica being away at college insted of high school. I have a feeling Keith may have his own season long story this year while Veronica is off solving a campus related rape case.
Overall - amazing episode to open the season and I am very excited to see where the show goes from here.moreless

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Mac: You worked in a coffee shop. How can you not know that an Irish coffee has whiskey in it? Veronica: At Java the Hut, it meant a latté with a little shot of Irish Cream syrup. Mac: That explains the first one you ordered. Veronica: They were magically delicious. And they served me. Boo-yah! Edit
- Logan: (to Veronica) I bet you know there's no one else. I only want you. You ought to know that by now. Edit
- (after Veronica asked to enter the mentoring program) Timothy: You can take your pick. All of them have juvenile records. Most of the girls, it's shoplifting, fighting, chronic truancy. Veronica: Wait. Just because I'm a girl, that means I have to mentor a girl? Timothy: Yes. Veronica: That's just in case they get their period or something, right? Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Veronica: They were magically delicious. This is the catch phrase of Lucky the Leprechaun, the mascot for Lucky Charms cereal. Edit
- Character Name: Donald Fagan It may be a reference to the character Fagin from Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist. Both men used a gang of young men to steal for them. Edit
- Veronica: Some girl going wild? As I understand it, it happens all the time in college. Girls Gone Wild, a video series targeted towards adult male audience, shows college girls and young women often drunk and performing lewd activities captured on camera. Edit
