"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The real question is, why is Daddy Kane over on another channel macking on the president, instead of standing up for his newly-fugitive kid? Even if he personally is in the middle of a "I fled the jurisdiction so as not to spend a weekend in the county jail" type of situation, surely there are lawyers, guns and money at his disposal, you know?

For that matter, Logan could probably direct him to a good lawyer, and if the boys would only move into a normal person's apartment then they could afford to pay him/her. And Weevil could supply the guns. Everybody wins!!

All is well that ends in pizza.

As to the sheriff not noticing the weight? I own a cop car. the suspension is very stiff, and the weight of Duncan would hardly be a blip.

Even if it did depress the back of the car half an inch, most people wouldn't notice. Last week I realized I had three 40-pound bags of rock salt in my squad car's back seat for over a month.

I'm more curious about all that water Duncan drank. I'm assuming he took his pee bottle with him when he snuck out of the trunk.

The Weevil/Logan scenes were the best ones this episode. They need a good road trip. Maybe sharing one motorcycle.

I had another thought. Keith's line at the end about not being able to trust Veronica again - I think that echoes the way I feel about the show now a little bit. If as viewers we don't even know where the truth ended and the scam began, how can we take anything else that they show us at face value. Alias pulls this stunt all the time, and it bugs me there too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That was my favorite part, too. The overall episode seemed contrived and a bit muddled to me, though.

Yeah, I'm getting that. The scenes with the google search and the tatoo-- those were so ridiculous I thought they had to be jokes.

I am pleased they wrapped up at least one storyline, however brutally forced. I liked that Duncan told Veronica he loved her, and I think she never returned the sentiment, did she?

And I still love me some Lamb.

Now tagless for your comfort.

As a show newbie, all I can say is, "MEEP."

Who, Me?

I'm going to weigh in on the 'Custody issue erks' as well. Getting a lawyer and starting the ball rolling should have been an automatic first step as soon as Meg died. He absolutely could have gotten the money from somewhere. There's no indication that there's any physical abuse going on at Meg's folks, just mental, so the baby is safe for the time being.

If there had already been a court battle, and Duncan had lost, not only would the whole plot have made more sense, but so would the baby's apparent age.

Finally, Veronica also said that Celeste was opposed to Duncan 'adopting'. Since when do you adopt your own kids?

Wow, good point. I totally spaced when she said that.

When you aren't legally the father.

At least in MD, becoming legally a father is a matter for a paternity hearing, not adoption. Once your natural parentage has been established, you sue for custody, not adoption. It is technically possible for a father to adopt his naturally born child, but it would be for the purpose of extinguishing the natural mother's parental rights, which is a moot point here. CA laws might be different.
