He might not have framed Terrence, so much as that Terrence's own problems made him a likely suspect. Once Terrence was a suspect, maybe then Beaver planted the explosives. Terrence was under suspicion before, though.

I don't know where Cassidy would have obtained the explosives. The only explanations I can think of that don't feel like fanwank, are:

• At the time of the crash, money wasn't an issue for Casablancas boys

• Just because Lucky was in the V.A. hospital on the day of the crash, doesn't mean Beaver didn't get the explosives from him, before

I can't imagine Beaver going to Kendall about this, or using her Fitzpatrick connections.

Fanwanky:
I know that Hart was making a war movie with his friends, when his camera accidentally caught Lynn Echolls' dive off the bridge. I don't know how realistic Hart's movie was, or anything about Hart, but I suspect I'm trying to over connect, here.

Not so Fanwanky:
I'm thinking Hart was in this week's episode, because he either taped Woody's house for Beaver, or hooked Beaver up with equipment, or was an unwitting source of video information for Beaver.

I have no idea how Rob Thomas is going to be able to wrap all of this up in a single episode.

My latest fear is that he won't, and we'll get a big fat "To be continued" season finale. Given the rumblings about VM getting or not getting picked up by CW, that could doubly suck.

Seriously, I refuse to consider the possibility the show will not be renewed because... I say so! And in Vonnieverse, the world clearly revolves around my wishes.

So, what will happen with the whole Aaron mess in the finale? He 1) turns out to have engineered the bush crash, 2) commits another crime--attempted murder on Veronica, Keith or Logan, or actually killing a non-series regular--and is carted off to jail, again, 3) gets involved in some altercation or another, possibly related to the bus crash, and someone (say Kendall or Liam Fp) shoots him dead, 4) sneers at everyone and remains uninvolved, ready to torment Veronica the viewers for yet another season.

Personally, I'm rooting for 3).

5) As a has-been movie actor, ends up as Steve Guttenberg's roommate on The Surreal Life.

He won't do that. He'll certainly wrap up the bus crash mystery, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are still some loose ends from other other *cough* spy pen *cough* plotlines hanging around.

You all enjoyed jascott's picspam before, so here's this week's.

I adore and completely agree with her "Exact Location of Pretty."

OK, I'm abandoning my "Beaver caused the bus crash" theory because Beav's being way too cute in this episode and there is no way RT is gonna do a 180 and go, "A-HA!" at Beaver in the next episode.

See, and like others, this is exactly why I'm worried about Beaver! Though I continue to believe he couldn't have done it.

It doesn't seem like they should be able to introduce that sort of information, but if they wanted to show that Veronica was somehow careless in her sex life, to back up their assertion that she was coming onto Aaron.

Maybe AARON is the chlamydia source! :)

I think Veronica/Keith are going to take the recording to Mac to see if she can do some computer-thingy to recover the edited-out portion. I think she does and realizes that it’s Beaver.

Ooh. Now I'm going to be kinda disappointed if that DOESN"T happen.

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.

Wow, now that would certainly be continuity. Damn.

in the preview when V is confronting the bus crash suspect with the gun she's really upset. do we really think she'd be that upset if it were Beav?

Why not? Though if it were Aaron, or Duncan, she'd be pretty upset too...:) I think it was TOTALLLY WALLACE, DUDE!

I think everybody here has pretty much decided Beaver is the third voice on the tape, but if anybody still thinks it's Lucky, well: we know he's over 21, and in fact was so a year ago (the keg Logan wanted delivered was for one of the beach parties from season 1, I'm guessing) which means at least 3-4 years older than the other known victims. Since little league teams don't span a 3-year age difference (I tihnk, 10-year-olds and 7-year-olds being WAY different in size/strength/etc), they couldn't have all been on the same team.

QED.
