Timelies,
Just skipped 2000 posts, then back-tracked for the VM discussion.
I also had issues with her listening in on her classmates counseling sessions but found it in-character. I agree with idea/hope that she'll have a wake-up call about her methods come the end of the season, we've already had bits here and there where she's seen her actions have a negative effect on people that didn't deserve it. I think she's trying to push it aside in her obsession to solve Lilly's murder but there's a reckoning coming. If not, then I'll lose a lot of respect for the show.
Veronica's character is odd. There are points where she acts far mature than she should be, but there's also times when she is glaringly immature. I think with every thing that's happened to her, she's trying very hard to act like an adult. Sometimes she does a better job than others.
I agree with those that think the singing was odd/gratuitous, though.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode a lot, though I wouldn't call it the best ever.
On a shallow note, Logan's mother's lips were really freaky-looking. It was distracting whenever she was on-screen.
ION, we had a trouble ticket at work that said a user's PC was making a grinding noise followed by a beep. My immediate thought was "that sounds like a pager in the desk drawer." Sure enough, it was. The department in question pulled the same thing about 5 years ago, though there was no beeping in that instance, and had been so freaked out by the noise they'd convinced themselves they smelled smoke coming from the PC. The latter has always been my default "goofy tech support story". I guess they added a new chapter today.
Also chiming in on the weather=freaky as we have both steaming snow and tons of fog here, plus the upcoming temp changes mentioned upthread.
