Oh, shit. Now I think it's Piz.
eta...
Wow, I just got a gander at my f-list. I can't believe how much hate I'm seeing for this episode on lj.
I thought there were a couple of contrivances beneath the show (um...couldn't their alibi have just been, "We were in Tiajuana" and wow, it sure was convenient that Logan found Veronica), but I thought it was a great episode.
If they want to be together, they can wait a week, let Harmony do the less dishonorable thing and break off with her husband (who left a project at work in order to avoid temptation), first.
That last bit makes me wonder how honest Harmony is being about things between her and her husband. Keith is trusting what she says about her marriage because he wants to.
I am convinced Harmony is a femme fatale, setting up Keith for something in the second arc (should we get one, please let us get one).
Did nobody besides tiggy and me notice that Charlie Weber played Glen, though?
I knew he looked familiar!
I don't know why I thought that was Piz. Maybe with the background noise I heard the "Fish" in DJ Hellfish as "Piz". Or maybe because the radio shows were referenced so often, and he was in so much of the episode. Oops.

I thought that, too. I think you may have planted the idea, Cindy, but last night I really felt her declarations of Feelings were way over the top.

I knew he looked familiar! But the weird wig and the surfer dude attitude threw me.
I was actually fine with Veronica's disappointment in Keith and distrust in Logan -- the call back to Jake and Lianne was a particularly nice touch -- but I hated that last voice-over about how Veronica has now learned to be more trusting and forgiving, which was worst kind of tell-not-show resolution. I felt like I was watching bloody 7th Heaven, not VM.

I noticed. I was hoping Keith would stop by and smother him.
I'm not sure that she's learned to be more trusting and forgiving, just that even when people you love do things that disgust you, they can still be the people who have your back. Doesn't have to be one or the other.

Why? (I'm just curious, since you posted it like it was an epiphany.)

Whee! He'll need glasses, for the full effect.

Doesn't have to be one or the other.Yes. And I think what she needs to learn (whether she learned it or not is another thing, because a big characteristic of noir is the fatal flaw) is that even the people who love you can let you down, and when they do, you don't have to shit all over them.
I think her reaction to Keith's affair was over the top. I don't think her judgment (that it is wrong) was, and I'm not speaking from my own morality here (although that, too) but the morality we've seen on display in this 'verse. Similarly, I think her treatment of Logan (blackmailing him) was terrible, but I don't think her suspicion/lack of trust was terrible in this instance. If my husband (or, back when I had boyfriends, if a boyfriend) needed me to know his friend couldn't be guilty of a crime because they were together, but couldn't tell me where they were, it would hurt/offend/upset/something me, that he couldn't/wouldn't tell me where he'd been, and I'm not someone who keeps a tight leash.
