I hate to fixated on an STD, but I just don't get the reason for the chlamydia. At first I thought it was going to prevent Veronica from caving under Logan's drunken declaration of epic love, but that doesn't seem like it -- I bought her wanting to think about what he said first.

The Lucky/Meg thing is completely confusing me, and I sadly have no tapes to go back and watch.

Oh, I think it played into it, but the biggest reason she ran was that she freaked, because she wants him, but she's afraid of Epic. She still wants normal to be her watchword. I don't think the STD was the only reason she ran. If it were the only reason, there still would have been some smoochies first (why oh why couldn't there have been smoochies why oh why oh why oh why) before running.

I think the Chlamydia has to play into a child molestation angle that may well tie into the bus crash mystery, and that's why V had to get infected. It was set up way back, in NPBiaC. That's when we got introduced to the creeptasticness of both the Manning and Goodman households, and saw Lamb's tie to child abuse, as well.

The Lucky/Meg thing is completely confusing me, and I sadly have no tapes to go back and watch.

Because smooching someone who would be too drunk to remember it the next day is a bad thing?

Yeah, I think the Chlamydia is just there as an incentive for Veronica to dig into Duncan's sexual history, in order to set up a "Dun dun duh!" revelation.

The guy who played Lucky totally nailed the scene in the jailcell with Keith - definitely abuse.

I think there have been definitely some major hints that Woody is a sexual predator, but there are so many potential victims, it's making my head spin. Was it Beaver? Peter? Lucky? Or maybe it was all of them and they were all banding to expose Woody a la Oriental Express, I don't know.

Actually, Woody is now striking me as such an obvious guilty party that I wonder the crash was engineered by someone else after all. But then, I thought Aaron was too obvious a candidate for the murderer in S1, so what do I know?

I really thought it was going to be Duncan who was in the apartment with Logan in the last scene, hearing Veronica admit she still has feelings for Logan.

I totally thought that too- in fact I was weirdly relieved that it turned out the be good ole skanky Kendall, not a suprise at all to me that Logan turned to her.

The real question is, how do so many people have VD without noticing? Surely somebody's had a burning sensation before now, even if Veronica didn't.

In the daisy-chain, we have Kendall, big Dick, possibly Ed Jerse/Fitzpatrick Wossname, Logan, Duncan, Meg, whoever Meg has slept with possibly Lucky, and finally Veronica. Maybe we can exclude Meg, who, when you've spent 5 months in a hospital with doctors all up in your business, you'd think they would have noticed. In which case, Duncan got it after Meg went into the coma, which makes Kendall the only "suspect."

Still and all, wouldn't you think a career criminal, who makes her money kinda mostly on her back, would be more careful/clever than that? Love 'em and leave 'em, maybe they'll still have nice feelings for you and bail you out of a jam someday; love 'em and give 'em a disease, less with the nice feelings.

I honestly thought it was going to be Dick (as always, heh), who - after being shot down by Every Girl in the Room - realized that he had blown his chances with the female sex and that Logan was looking pretty good.

Also, Chlamydia doesn't always have any symptoms.

Other fun lessons from Ellen?

• If you must surf the internet at work, don’t get caught.
• If you do get caught, don’t let it be while reading Wikipedia on Chlamydia: Symptoms.
