    without trying not to ruin it for anyone...veronica helps a school football player find his stolen play book. Weevil returns...pretty much the same subtract his gang, and add his attempt to work, which veronica helps him out with. The issue with the girls getting raped at the university continues...which i think will be the major mystery of this year, not as instence as lilly death or the bus crash..but still good, and has alot of room to get better, i think. But the interesting storyline is between logan and veronica, who have some difficulties, but they work it out its really nice to see them together as an actual steady couple, although i miss logans baddas* ways sometimes, and he doesnt seem to be as funny as he use to be. but besides that, i love them together, they are officially my favourite TV couple! I hope we get to see a jealous logan too this season!moreless

  • Not again…The show is building up to a Veronica-Logan split.

    Veronica and Logan have their first fight of the season, but that's not what worries me. Remember the season premier? Remember Pizz (Wallace's good guy new room-mate) in Duncan's argyle sweater? Add to that Logan's rude speech to Veronica, from this episode and you get: a ticking bomb.

    The fact that they made up by the end of the episode doesn't help the situation at all, since that's just part of the "break-up equation".
    And what if "Veronica Mars" doesn't get a new season, or even a full season. Will they end up separated after all?

    Ok, let's not jump the gun. Let's see how things go. But the truth is, right now, things aren't looking so good.

    And get Wallace a girlfriend, or at least a love interest. Poor guy is wasting all his good looks :) Dick is as fun as ever, I'm really happy they kept him.moreless

    Great episode!
    I especially loved that we finally got see some more of Weevil, I really missed that guy. Also, it was hilarious when he was working for Keith, but I loved it even more that Veronica got him that job with the Dean.
    "The trust thing doesn't come naturally", Veronica said and it seems that she has a point in this season. She's having trouble trusting him, which I don't understand after everything they have been through together. The trust question must have come up earlier, now it's really annoying me. But in the end of this episode, it seemed like it would be okay. Let's hope it's gonna stay this way!moreless

    To tell you the truth, I didn't like this episode a lot. Atleast the football parts of it. It just didn't interest me and I didn't even follow it. I loved the Dean, I think the show needs a character like the high school principal, honestly, he reminded me of him quite a bit. I loved that whole storyline with him and Veronica. Weevil working at Mars Investigations was like awesome. I really missed Weevil and i'm glad they waited 2 episodes to bring him in. I loved his storyline. He gained a lot of weight this summer. I'm getting really bored with the Logan/Veronica relationship. I miss the season 1 relationship.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • College newspapers are awarded most of the same First Amendment freedoms as any "real" newspaper. Therefore, Veronica does have the right to protect her source, and had the Dean actually expelled her on those grounds, she would've had a slam dunk freedom of speech case against the college. Edit
    • Veronica's cell tracing device seems to be working awfully well considering that there is a visible error message displayed on the front side of it, before she turns it over to observe the digital map. Edit
    • The newspaper Veronica is reading at the begining of the episode is dated Monday September 18, 2006. This episode first aired Tuesday October 17, 2006. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Weevil: So I hear the dean's a pal of yours. You actually made friends with somebody? Veronica: Actually, he wants me expelled. Weevil: Ah, that sounds more like it. Edit
    • Dean O'Dell: How 'bout you give me that name and we'll start over with a clean slate. Veronica: I said I'm not giving up the name. Dean O'Dell: And I said I'll have you expelled. Veronica: And I said I'm not giving up the name. Is this how this works? Edit
    • Logan: You know, your dad was half-right: you have a thing for bad boys, but... you don't want to reform 'em, you just get off on judging them. Veronica: Which reminds me, can I borrow your copy of 'A Hundred and One Brooding Comments'? Logan: I only have the Cliff Notes. Look, I gotta run, so, uh... to save you the trouble, I'm surfing in Mexico with Dick and Mercer this weekend. I'll fax you the coordinates so you don't incur any more cell tracking charges, and I'll keep a journal of my bad thoughts in case you wanna stick my face in a cage of rats when I get back. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Character Name: The coach in this episode's name is Dwight Fry. This is most likely an allusion to the Alice Cooper song "The Ballad of Dwight Frye", a song famous for the fact that Cooper stages his own death (most commonly by guillotine) in concerts during this song. Going further back and closer to the source, the original Dwight Frye (and the man Alice Cooper sings about) was a versatile character actor whose career spanned the late 20s to the early 40s. He is best known for playing Renfield (his human slave) to Bela Lugosi's Dracula in Tod Browning's 1931 classic. Edit
    • Weevil: Now I'm working at the car wash, which, as it turns out, isn't nearly as much fun as the song sounds. "Car Wash", is a 1976 disco song performed by the group Rose Royce. It was also the theme to the 1976 Richard Pryor film Car Wash. Edit
    • The Dean of the University has the last name of O'Dell. Thus when people refer to him they call him 'Dean O'Dell', which is likely an allusion to the California based radio/TV medical reporter Dr. Dean Edell. Edit
