Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I'm also not sure he'd be so seemingly carefree around her in the aftermath. As I said, I think I'd have a hard time buying Cass Casablancas, stone sociopath and master criminal.
Well, I'm thinking Cassidy Casablancas, broken genius, already scorned by the men in his life who think they's so macho and he's such a waste, scared to death this secret (regarding which he has probably made to feel complicit because that's what child abusers do) was going to out, and ruin his life which already sucks in so many ways. But I get your point.

Because books.

Also, Amy. I don't think it's for shock value only because it was planted so early on in the season--back in NPBiaC.

Um, I have to look up what episode that is, because I'm a dork.

Also, really? I thought the first mention of an STD was when Veronica found out she had it.

That's what I thought too.

You're not a dork, Amy, I am pretty much completely unable to keep track of episodes that are abbreviated by long strings of letters. And I also thought the first mention of Veronica getting an STD was last week when the doctor told her.

Sorry. Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner -- it's the episode where Duncan and Veronica investigate which kid Meg babysat, that was being abused.

In Mrs. Hauser's health class, they are studying STDs. Veronica ends up partnering with Gia. Gia thinks it's a flower. Mrs. Hauser sets her straight. And Gia says something like she's sure it's a flower and that they "have it growing on a trellis at their beach house," so I think it's really likely that was a clue wrapped in a joke, and Woody is the original source.

Oh, good. (Although I actually *am* a dork...)

I have to put Sara down for her nap, and we had to do errands this morning. Life is getting in the way of my VM discussion, damn it!

Also, Cindy, ewwww. And poor baby. And poor you! Points for not passing out!

Last week was the first mention of anyone having chlamydia on the show Nora, but it wasn't the first mention of chlamydia in the season. It was set up before Christmas.

Okay, so it's not that Veronica was worried that she had chlamydia but that Gia had made that remark. (So, possibly suggesting that at some point in her life she'd overheard something that Woody said and misunderstood?)

Okay, I remember it got talked about in health now, but at this point in the season, to find out only last week that Veronica has it still seems...dumb. Because with everything else to cover, where are they going to go with that next week? And it still works as shock value for the trial.
