Damn. Was there a lot of blue lighting in the night scenes? Never mind. I know that was the one I saw, because I actually understand the meaning behind the title.
That girl spat in someone's drink. The minutes I caught before I walked out of the room, made me realize Veronica thought it meant someone doing something more serious (I assumed drugging her drink with date-rape drug or something), but it was about some girl that spit in her drink.
The next scene I saw two seconds of had to do with one of the boys confessing something to her, but her seemingly understanding.
Crap. We let it delete. Urgh. TiVo should have a recovery feature, if you haven't filled your cache.
the blue lighting scenes are flashbacks. so yes, that episode is chock full of them.
Man, that moment when we got the reveal about the significance of the title of the episode was when I got down on my knees in front of the TiVo and did the "I'm not worthy" dance. But you know... you need the proper context to fully appreciate why that title is so freakin' brilliant.
- nudges Cindy* I'd totally take advantage of tiggy's offer if I were you.
(What IS this about this fandom that makes such pimps out of its fans?)
I must be dense, but I either can't remember, or never got, the significance of the title aTttD. Can someone explain?
Oh, if there was any doubt, tiggy, I totally want to take advantage of your offer. I should have made that more clear.
After I pick up the kids, I will email you with my snailmail address.
Whitefonted for Cindy-protection: "A trip to the dentist" is someone spitting into a drink before they give it to you. Madison did that to her drink--which had been drugged--and handed it to Veronica, which is why she was drugged, which is why she had sex with Duncan.

Hmm. I'll white-font this for Cindy's (and anyone else who hasn't caught up yet) sake:
At the beginning of the episode, Veronica was hellbent on hunting down that single rapist on whom she could reap her vengeance, but through the Rashomon-like multiple flashbacks, we slowly realizes that the story is far more complicated than we thought. The whole event turned out to have been a tragedy of errors, one thoughtless and petty act piling up on another causing a chain event that led to Veronica and Duncan ending up drugged and on that bed together. No single person was to blame, yet everyone was complicit in a way. And "A Trip to the Dentist" (referring to Madison spitting in her own drink, which unbenownst to her was already laced with GHB by Dick--meant for Madison, not Veronica--and handing that drug to Veronica, who then gets fed enough alcohol so that combination of booze and GHB made her insensate) was just that--an act of petty vindictiveness that snowballed because everyone else in that party was also at a fault or didn't care enough or whatever. It's sort of a metaphor for the pervasive corruption and casual and not-so-casual malice in the denizens of Neptune.
I got that part, sillies. I said it upstream (well, except I didn't know
the girl's drink had been drugged--I figured someone else also got to Veronica's drink in another way, in addition to the spitty person).
Also? Never feel like you have to white font in NAFDA for me. It makes me itch. Also, I don't mind being spoiled on a show I've never watched. I have memory like a sieve, and 22 hours worth of the show to watch.
