( continues...) Sorority House Mother, because she was sympathetic as were her reasons for breaking the rules/law, but I can see any newspaper running the story, regardless. sumi, do you think she was after that story in the first place? I thought they all happened upon it by accident.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Because books.
AmyLiz, my mind never even went where your mind went. You writer types are scary.
I know, Cindy! Oops. I think it was the Veronica said "And it's definitely not a charity" or whatever, paired with last season's child molesting plot.
It also never occurred to me that there was a Just Shoot Me reunion going on, until I saw it pointed out in P-C's LJ. Enrico Colantoni has really become Keith to me, when I'm watching this show. Weird.
I liked this episode, although I agree with the points about a Vanity Fair journalist, freelance or not, posing as Logan's long-lost half-brother. And where did the "Greek chorus" come from when Veronica was talking to the frat boys. That was a little strange.
If the feminists were being put forth as perfect, then I'd have a problem, because in Neptune, everyone is a little corrupt.
So much this.

Art Crawl!!!
I think that she is out to get the Greek system by any means she finds -- so they happened on that story but she was looking for whatever they could get.
Are there many college campuses where the major social and/or alcohol policy infractions happen in the sorority houses? Because that seems - v. odd to me.

Because books.
I like the fact that this episode really worked thematically. It was all about what you *want* to believe -- the Take Back the Night team that the Greeks were responsible for the rape, Logan that he'd found a brother, Harmony that her husband was cheating (which would mean she'd be free to pursue Keith).
Veronica usually believes the worst about people -- that's pretty much her default setting. In this case, it didn't pan out (yet) with regard to the frat, but it did about Fake!Charlie. We even see it when she and Keith and Logan are having dinner -- she believed every answer Logan would give would be a snarky or disrespectful one, and that every question Keith asked had ulterior motives.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oooh, good point.
Hey, I'm forgetting something... Did Veronica ever confirm with the store owner that the guy from the ATM photo with Claire was actually the guy who had been in the store with Claire?
I mean, if not, there's a chance he's not the rapist, just a guy in line behind her. The guy with her could have been next to her, out of the camera's view, and if/since the rapist seems to be a serial rapist, or part of some rape gang or something, it would make sense if he didn't let himself be in view of the camera.

Maybe I misheard, but I thought the girl with Claire said she saw Claire by the convenience store just after she was run out of the party. But Veronica said the time-stamp on the ATM photo was well after the party ended.
Also, did anyone else think "Harmony Chase" was a Buffy reference?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why did Keith give LSG the photo before telling her it wasn't an affair? To teach her a lesson, or something? It seemed cruel.
