I thought that Wallace got caught cheating.

See, at first I thought he'd ratted out the cheating, especially since I figured he was smart enough not to be first to bring a test up under the circumstances if he was cheating. But there was that later bit that I wasn't quite clear on what was happening.

I almost hate to admit how happy I was when Veronica ripped her necklace off the guilt-tripping little girl; I was completely expecting another "Veronica feels bad/guilty for doing the right thing" moment and loved that they went somewhere else with it.

I know!

And -- so, was Claire trying to get revenge on her ex? So, really her rape was a copycat crime -- and there really is an actually rapist who shaves his victim's heads out there?

I was just happy to see Cliff again. Especially with the lawyer action when the police tried leaning on Keith.

Loved Veronica just snatching the necklace back from the snotty little girl and driving away.

All in all, it wasn't a phenomenal episode, but it was consistently enjoyable.

I don't think so. Roommate said girlfriend, not ex. I don't think Claire expected anyone to pull up the ATM photo or tracking her boyfriend down. It seems like the TBTN-ers are convinced of Dick's frat's guilt and Claire was trying to create more "evidence" against them.

All in all, it wasn't a phenomenal episode, but it was consistently enjoyable.

I like that a lot happened, but it was over-stuffed. I thought the whole Keith subplot with the Dean was one plot too many, and was also the hardest to swallow in terms of credibility. And as I said (and I don't know if I was just distracted and missed something obvious) I couldn't parse exactly what went down with Wallace, ultimately.

my favorite scene was when Lamb came and arrested Weevil. that parting shot to Logan had me laughing for several minutes.

I thought that was the best episode of the season, hands down. Actual witty dialog! EXCELLENT Veronica/Weevil interactions! Honestly, that jail cell scene where they shared a rueful laugh after Weevil asked her why she couldn't take him at his words made me melt, it was so lovely. I don't ship them or anything, but I felt the rapport and the weight of the history between them, and I just loved that.

Of course, Cliff makes everything about 20x better. And I am actually sorta-interested by the Hearst rapist storyline after that last reveal. The lack of the the feminists and the frat boys helped a lot.

The episode had a rather S1-like feel to it -- even the overpacked multiple storylines. Briskly-paced as well. It officially got me out of S3 apathy. Yay!

Did anyone catch, during the scene with Lamb doing the robot, the deputy(s) in the background commenting on it? While it was kind of amusing, the tone of the speaker(s) seemed a little forced.

Lamb doing the robot

Oh god, I'd completely forgotten that moment. Loved it.

Great episode! The Wallace plot was definitely ambiguous as to whether he was caught or if he turned narc (but I don't think Wallace is the narc type). I suspect he was set up by his teammate. I hope, unlike his father plot point last season, this development turns into an actual story for Wallace.

Did everyone realize the nasty bio dad was Richarch Grieco? Between (my) blurting out "Dream on, Jump Street," and Veronica's "Enjoy the veal," my VM fandom Tourettes and BtVS fandom Tourettes were in over-drive.
