It was totally Keith. VM's voiceover and Keith's little smile clinched it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Methinks Keith was faking his "faulty computer knowledge." No way can the guy be a top notch PI and not know computers nowadays.

Keith should also know that if they wanted to, that degaussed tapes aren't necessarily useless. At the very least, there would be and attempt to recover from the digital tapes.

Also, one of the first things one would thingk the prosecution would have done is make a DVD set off the tapes. Sounds fishy.

Maybe Leo will turn out to have another copy...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The whole episode is of the not-sense-making.

Why steal all the tapes, when you can get good money for just 1? Why did they call Keith when Meg died? Why put in all the confusing and not entertaining lines? Why did Lamb take off his shirt?

All the characters were posessed by insane trolls.

Strawberry disappointment.

Wallace. Yay!

Meg. Waaaah.

The Mars' family Christmas. Yay!

Everything else in this episode was meh off an UTTAD's back.

What is even happening?

All the characters were posessed by insane trolls.

It took me close to 5000 words to express (what boils down to) the idea expressed above, in eight.

Everything else in this episode was meh off an UTTAD's back.
And it caused UTTAD to speak of UTTAD's self in the third person.

By the way, what the hell did Logan burn after watching the tapes?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The labels that were on the tapes, thus making them not identifyable as having formerly been the tapes in question.

Ahh, OK. I got distracted and when I was paying attention again I thought they almost looked like some kind of key cards, but they burned too quickly for plastic.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

All the characters were posessed by insane trolls.

Actually, I thought the characters were the characters. It was the world around them that was making insane troll logic. For instance, it's not Veronica's fault at all that somehow she got summoned for jury duty the day before she was due to show up, made it through a jury selection process AND an entire, detailed criminal trial ALL ON THE SAME DAY.

And Keith was pretty identifiable as Keith, even if Leo could have pulled off the same crime much better and easier if he had stolen a copy, and no one would have noticed until it came out. And Duncan was a dumbass, but then, he's always a dumbass, so whataya gonna do? Being oblivious concrete IS his his character.

And as for the racist guy on the jury, well ... OK. I gotta give them that one. I lived in rich O.C. for too long and heard too many rich white guys blurt out equally stupid things to not think that's not as exaggerated as it may seem. Plus, dug the grandma, and we got Wallace back and a hint of what Veronica's doing after college.

Probably the weakest episode of the season so far, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it.
