When the illegal casino Veronica frequents is robbed, she must track down the thief to recover the necklace Lilly gave her years before.
Meanwhile, Dean O'Dell's stepson is dying of cancer and needs Keith to track down his biological father for a transplant (with Cliff's help), and Wallace fears he may flunk out of his most important class.
Too many far-fetched storylines in this episode, and somehow most of them get tied up neatly. hide show
I liked this episode, but it wasn't one of the better ones. Of coure, I like seeing Veronica get the best of the bad guys, but it was just too neat and easy for her to find out who pulled the casino robbery. And the little touch of having the crooked campus guard's uppity little daughter being nasty to Veronica was a bit too much for me.
As for Wallace's little cheating episode, I found most of this impossible to believe. First of all, it's hard to believe a little liberal arts college like this would have a serious engineering program. Second, no freshman takes any engineering classes, you have to take chemistry and physics and math first and maybe in your second year you would take a general engineering class. There is no way a freshman would be in a mechanical eng class. Sorry. Third, if you got caught buying a test, you would be expelled! Then they would go after the guy that sold it, but nothing happened to Max. They didn't even force Wallace to give up the guy's name, as far as we can tell.
I won't even go into the storyline of the guy who wouldn't donate bone marrow to save his son....
But, I will say I enjoyed it for what it was, Super Veronica saves the day. Again.
Still trying to track down the campus rapist, Veronica gets slightly sidetracked when she winds up in the middle of a robbery and has a very special gift stolen. hide show
This was a great episode. I liked that we got to see more of Weevil, and a little more of Wallace. Seeing more of Keith and the entire thing with the Dean was entertaining. The robbery mystery was a good one, especially by bringing in the sentimental value of the necklace and the mention of Lilly. At the end of the episode, when Veronica finally manages to track down the guy on the ATM photo with Claire, I was really surprised by the info, hehe. Can't say I can tell where exactly this is going, but that's why I love this series, always keeps you guessing.
Veronica's working her mojo again hide show
I missed the typical Veronica Mars private eye style in the first episodes of this season, but finally she's back and kicking ass again.
Too bad that the guy had to steal Lily's necklace, of course Veronica was gonna go off and hunt him until she got him.
I agree with what another review said: There needs to be more Weevil this season, we haven't seen enough! And it was sad that Veronica thought he had something to do with the robbery and turned her back on him after they had been working together so great since the beginning of the show...
Also, I loved Veronica's obsession with Lily's neckless and the scene when she ripped it off that stupid kids' neck was great!
Solid, but this show's done better. hide show
While the "mystery" for this show is really nothing special, and while there is some completely out of chacter behavior on Wallace's part, this is still a solid episode.
It's always nice to see the Weevil and Veronica characters work together/collide, but the plot the writers devised for his appearance in this episode seems a little forced. However, I love that the writers reminded us of Lily again. Without her murder, Veronica would be a very different person now, and the necklace getting stolen really revealed to us how much she meant to Veronica. The redeaming moment for me in this episode? The use of Johnny Cash's song Busted. The finest use of music on this show yet this season.
I don\'t think that was one of the best... hide show
This eppy was kinda interesting but it wasn\'t what I was expecting from a show like veronica mars. Thinking at the other two seasons I thought that it\'ll be fantastic but ... hey not everything can be perfect. In the beginning when that girl doesn\'t tell veronica that the guy was her boyfriend, and the fact that they couldn\'t get another actor for the substitute so they had to put to Lucky( from season 2) a wig and some glasses it\'s just extremely weird thinking at this show. Veronica doesn\'t trust weevil even if he\'s her friend, when she got crazy about \"oh, the necklace that lily gave to her\" I was just \"girl get a pillow and choke yourself\". When the father of the dean\'s stepson was acting so incredibly awful; it was so unbelievable since the man said that he wanted to be part of his son\'s life. Maybe the only thing that made me keep watching this episode was the sceriff Lamb; when he arrested weevil he was so funny. In conclusion, even if Veronica Mars is one of my favourite shows I\'ll have to give it an eight(just because there was logan in the episode too) and this shoul seriously make the writers start thinking to improve the storyline maybe.
