It totally does!

Plus, I believe that he is on the school newspaper so would have been invited on the trip -- but cose to skip it.

Hmm. The rat taping doesn't seem like a very Loganish thing to do without Dick being in on it, too. It makes sense space and chronology wise though.

I feel height-of-my-Buffy-psychosis love for this show right now. The last episode exceeded my expectations in just about every arena.

Something about Gia's family's interaction made me feel bad for Woody (that's the Mayor's name, yes?) Like he genuinely wanted his kids to have normal lives but knew they didn't maybe - it was just a vague sense of pity for him. And RT's writing of moms continues to take us to new areas of craxy (though at least with Meg's family the central big bad was the dad). And dark!Lamb backstory - so unexpected and great.

And Duncan and Veronica aren't clinging to their attempts at rosy normalness all that tightly anymore. Not so much that they can't fixate on past relationships right in front of each other.

Loved loved the music at the end. Dick is the ick. And yay for Big Lebowski love!

The party at Gia's was painfully painful.

I was disappointed Veronica didn't have a scathing retort to tatoo-chick, since she's always been quick to respond to verbal slights in the past.

1. Ordinarily, Logan makes me want to hit him in the face with an axe.

1a. He is, in no way, alone in generating this feeling. It's probably a good thing I no longer carry an axe with me.

2. For a brief shining moment, Logan was my favorite character in the world. See: "Aw, did I hurt your feeling?" and "When the milk stops being free, I stop drinking it." Bliss...

3. Charisma Carpenter is 58 pounds of hot in a 3 pound bag.

I love how CC's character is so incredibly skanky, with like, no redeeming characteristics.

God, loved, loved, LOVED this episode!! Also? I was soooo feelin' the LoVe - "at least I got to enjoy asking you to help me" (/para) was so fucking cute I could not even stand it. Woobie! Last night I was making an ass out of myself singing "I love Lo-gan!" to the tune of "I Want Candy". His put-down of Kendall was just excellent in every way, and at the very end he even threw her a bone (heh) by being nice. Having Logan staying in the hotel room is just awkward-gold!

About the A-plot - it was pretty good too, Lamb being a woobie was excellent (if not entirely unexpected) but I was too busy squeeing like a ridiculous fangirl over Logan (and Logan & Veronica) to really focus on it. Did like Duncan and Kendall's maybe-liasion, and Duncan in the black turtleneck was a pleasantly hot surprise.

One thing I did notice - when Duncan was retrieving Meg's evidence of Grace's abuse from the vent - was I having deja vu all over again or was the dialog between him and V exactly the same as last season when V was retrieving Lilly's tapes? For a minute I thought I had gone craxy. Maybe someone who's just watched all of last year in a marathon could tell me. (Speaking of which, must. get. DVD's!)

Well, it just so happens that I was just looking at some transcripts from season 1... lemme check.

That wasn't the same dialog from the scene where she gets the tapes from Lilly's vent:

VERONICA: He wasn't in Mexico the day she was killed. Dick and Beaver lied for him. He came back early because he found out Lilly was seeing someone, Weevil, I think and he admitted that much, but he said he wrote her a letter on the day she died that would prove his innocence. I remembered Lilly used to hide things in her air vents.

Duncan, shocked by what he is hearing, gazes up at the vent.

DUNCAN: Let's see what's in there.

Veronica returns to the vent and completes removal of the grate. She reaches in.

DUNCAN: Well?

She holds out three tapes.

VERONICA: There's just these.

She hands them to Duncan who studies them as Veronica replaces the grate.

DUNCAN: I've got a camera we can play 'em on.

They leave Lilly's room and a shadow moves in the closet.

But in this week's ep Duncan does say that Lilly learned the vent thing from Logan and that confirms what Logan told Veronica in A Trip to the Dentist:

Logan gives her a quick kiss and rolls off the bed. He gets a small screwdriver from a drawer and proceed to unscrew a small vent from the wall. Veronica recognises something.

VERONICA: You learned that from Lilly.

LOGAN: No, Lilly learned that from me.

Mmmm. Transcripts.

Ah, you're right. But what did LILLY say in the flashback Veronica had that reminded her of the secret storage place? Maybe that's the one I was thinking of.

Finally watched last night and enjoyed. Also enjoyed

Oh you kids today with your instant gratification needs!

In my day, we had to walk through the snow, uphill, bearfoot, to find out the answers to hanging plot threads.

So much I ask permission to grab bearfoot and tag.

I have no other comments that haven't been made. At the moment. Need coffee.

The really hard part was separating bears from their feet.

Rabbit feet were too small.

But luckier than dealing with an angry bear with prosthetic claws.
