I liked this episode a lot. Poor Veronica, she never fails to alienate people while trying to do the right thing.
When Keith was walking through the desert, I was thinking "I hope he thought to bring the bugged pen with him" though I was expecting Vinnie to be tracking it, rather than Liam directly. I guess it's a good thing he decided to use it as bait. Totally called him catching Cormac in the trap thingy, though.
I wonder who cleaned up the cabin. Why would Liam bother, since Cormac did the killing? Or did Cormac clean up after himself during the night before going after Keith. In which case, he couldn't have gotten Kendall's body very far (provided she really is dead. If she's not, she's going to be really pissed about Keith giving all her money away to charity.)
The painting thing totally worked for me, though, following the idea that Kendall was a whole lot smarter than she looked/acted. It was obviously meant as a form of insurance, since it was a pretty safe bet Cormac and Liam wouldn't recognize art on the off-chance Cormac betrayed her. Apparently she underestimated their willingness to kill her without knowing where the money was, though.
Have I mentioned yet how glad I am that Mac is a regular now, even if she hasn't had a chance to do much yet?

Thanks for filling in the blanks once again, Kalshane.

Didn't she give the painting to Keith? Why would she care what Keith did with it?

no, it was the painting that the cop found with blood on it.
That one girl has played a sorority type girl in EVERY show. . . .okay, LOTS of shows. (You know, Jack's ex-girlfriend the Preacher's Kid from Jack and Bobby. )
Thank you, sumi. Scott and I spent the entire episode trying to remember where we'd seen her, before. It was definitely on
Jack and Bobby.
I hadn't recognised her, but the guard guy played Sean on Boy Meets World. I haven't watched that show since sometime around middle school, and I still can't disassociate him from that character.
Yes. And the Horshack kid is Samm Levine, who played Neal Schweiber on
Freaks and Geeks.
Oh, now I see Gris mentioned that, but I love my F&G kids, so I'll say it again.

Jon, I think she showed up with the painting (In last season's "Not Pictured") needing Keith's help to flee with it. She probably bought it to make the money more portable/less obvious.
I'm not catching the "Homer" references. Was the actor who provides his voice in this episode? If so, which character did he play?
There was a flashback where it's revealed that the reason Keith skipped out on Veronica in NYC was because of getting the painting.
I may actually have to rewatch the episode....
I can't believe no one's mentioned Homer Simpson!
smacks forhead
I kept thinking he looked familiar. I kept going to Jonathan Katz, who I always thought looked a little like DC, but I knew it wasn't him. It's been a while since I've seen Castallaneta in anything, though (probably the Simpsons' ep of Inside the Actor's Studio)

Sonofagun, you're right -- I just rewatched. So how did Keith get the paperwork for it?
Wow, torture! rape! murder! AWESOME.
I don't know if it's just that the pictures that got smaller (i.e., changes to what makes me happy viewing TV) or what.
I physically cringed every time the torture plot came on screen. I finished the episode just hating how I spent the previous hour. I've been mulling over what's changed- what I want/need from my tv shows, if I've become that reviled teevee consumer that wants everything handed to them and a happy ending (I don't *think* so, but hey, maybe), or if this show has gone over the noir line to nihlism and is so fucking depressing that I can't trust it with any of my emotional investment.
Anyway, yeah. We'll see.
ION, Ed Begley Jr!!!!!! Yet another 80s star back to shine on VM. He's sure to be a dastardly villian.
