Well, yeah, but this is television, and, more specifically, Veronica Mars. Things don't "just" happen.

There may have just been hair in the food. It's happened to me before and no one is trying to drug me.

Right, but there would be no reason to write and film the hair scene, then. It might ultimately be the case that she was drugged a different way, but both we and Veronica are being led to think that's how it happened.

Yes, this! And he specifically addressed that comment to the people in the food court, I remember that much. Because for some reason I thought it was Piz doing the show, and that he knew Veronica would be in the food court, and so he deliberately said that as a shout-out to The Girl He Has A Crush On.

Yes! And I think I thought the same mistaken thought as well.

Do we know who the other DJ and radio personalities are, other than Mercer and Piz? Is Chip one? Have we ever seen Moe in the station? Chip? Not!Lucky? Do we know Moe's major? Chip's?

What's to say the drink wasn't drugged before she sat down?

Good point. I was just wondering about that. I was thinking I'd seen Veronica getting her own drink, but I was really just flashing back to Buffy at the cafeteria at UC Sunnydale.

Or are they??? Seriously, yes. This.

They do when the writers are trying to throw us off the scent. Rob's crafted some pretty convincing red herrings over the past two plus seasons.

The reason to write and film the scene that way, if the hair landed there by accident, would be to throw Veronica off the scent of whatever cafeteria worker spiked her drink (if, indeed, a cafeteria worker did).

---

To give us and Veronica different times at which the drink could have been drugged.

I'm not disagreeing that it might have happened a different way, just that the scene was ultimately pointless.

Again, the whole thing is so unlikely-- it would have to either involve a conspiracy with a worker at the place she just happened to get her food at that day, or it would have to involve a fortuitous drink-spiking no one noticed-- that I think they're not going to dig the hole any deeper by explaining any more about how she got drugged.

That said, remembering the hair-taker was wearing a glove (that could have been a food-service glove) is making me doubt that, more and more.

I thought the glove looked more like a cloth formal glove than a latex one. I'm pretty sure it had stitching on the back of the hand, something you never see on food service gloves.

if Mercer was on the air for all/most/some of the rapes, then who wasn't? Piz. That's who.

Well, yeah, because he was in high school in Oregon, when Mercer was on the air last semester. If it's him, they're gonna have some 'splainin' to do about how he managed to commute down to San Diego.

Anybody else think that (a) Logan still hasn't told Veronica the truth about Tiajuana and (b) was so evasive about said trip because he'd been in contact with Duncan?

---

Ooooh. Hadn't thought about (b.

Duncan's in Australia.
