wouldn't he (or at least "shouldn't he") be leery of going somewhere with a woman whose companion recently tried to kill him? By nature or nurture (ex-sheriff/PI) wouldn't he be unlikely to follow her into a possible trap?

I agree that's why it's gotta be Veronica's safety or a direct implication of Keith going to jail that would compell him to take immediate action with Kendall. AND it's gotta be something that obviously implicates Kendall too, to make Keith trust her.

Mars Investigations was a big resource for this entry, as were the fabulous transcripts of . I was originally going to whittle stuff down, but hey...in episode 2:02, who'da thunk Cassidy blew up the bus? Without further ado...

It's up at the lj: [link]

There are no casting spoilers, but there is (inconclusive) discussion about whether or not CC will return. I know nothing that guarantees she either will or not.

De-lurking to say that I think whatever is in that case definitely has something to do with the Echolls' (if it is Cliff's briefcase). In Look Who's Stalking, Keith gave Veronica those fliers of the man who hired the woman who stole Cliff's briefcase. (whew.) And later Logan mentioned to Veronica that that same guy was his dad's cell mate. Also, in LWS, Keith enters the office, sees the fliers on his desk, and then sees Kendall, who had been in the office all by herself for god knows how long - she had plenty of time to take a peak at them.

But what about the Echolls' family would cause Keith to abandon Veronica?

I finally got to watch the last three episodes and caught up on 1000 posts. Funny skimming all the speculation. Vonnie, either you are spoiled or you are REALLY good at this. You're like my TV spec opposite.

Anyway, re: the briefcase-- my thoughts have revolved around things (fitting in a briefcase) that upon the *sight* of which Keith would act, not so much which plot it fits into.

• Money
• Drugs
• Photos
• Marcellus Wallace's soul

It wouldn't be a videotape, audiotape, records or documents. But I"m not coming up with anything else visually arresting.

Marcellus Wallace's soul

Ahahahahaha!!!!! That was the first thing I thought! (But the interior of the briefcase didn't glow, did it?)

Marcellus Wallace's soul

That was actually the first place my brain went after Keith's reaction.

Maybe with today's technology. But what if the suitcase is a mysterious artefact from the future?

When it opened up, what Keith saw was a holographic projection of Veronica, aged many, many, many years. Quite old. There is exposition and stock footage of killer robots. Now, Keith only has 24 hours to save the future... from itself!

Or it's a dark secret from his past that we've never been privy to, yada yada.
