It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I liked the secret about the hotel fire in Mexico. It's hard to write that kind of thing. But I doubt Logan would make that up.

What is even happening?

I'm pretty sure it had stitching on the back of the hand, something you never see on food service gloves.
They don't show the back of the hand. The shot is facing the palm of the hand. The hand slides into view, fingers down and grabbing at Veronica's keys. The glove does not fit like a formal glove. It fits like too big plastic. I can't tell for certain that it's some sort of plastic rather than cloth, but it's also sort of rolled (just slightly) at the edge. There's no stitching on it anywhere, as far as I can tell.

Oh, watching on slo-mo, it seems Logan sees someone standing beside Veronica's car. Possibly a blond person, but I can't get a clear enough view to tell. Veronica is already down at this point (the alarm is already sounding and since she didn't activate it until after she fell to the floor of the garage), it isn't her.

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

I know. I just disagree with your assessment that it was pointless. I think it was entirely on purpose. It's either a red herring (and we'll find that out) or it wasn't (and we'll find that out) in the course of her solving the whole mystery.

I don't think it was pointless, like I said, otherwise they wouldn't have filmed it. I diagreed that it was pointless.

I'm sorry, I made a confused reading of the pointiness issue, because you said (or I thought you did, I'm not sure now) that you didn't think we'd find out how her drink was spiked.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think bon was saying it would have been pointless if someone hadn't put that hair there in order to have an opportunity to drug the drink.

I disagree because I think it could have been drugged before, but without her getting up to exchange the pasta, we'd know it had to have been done before she sat down.

I see now why you [eta: Cindy] would have thought that. What I think is the following: we were shown a possible way her drink could have been spiked. Even though it is unlikely under the circumstances, it is still the most likely scenario. Moreover, showing us any more information about how it happened would just make it look stupider, given the possibilities (someone spiked it in a crowd, or conspired with her server). So I think her drink was spiked when she was dealing with the hair, and that's all they wrote.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Who are Moe and Chip? I don't think I've been paying enough attention to minor characters' names.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Moe is the R.A., Chip is the frat boy we first met last year in "The Rapes of Graff".

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If someone is stalking Veronica, it's just a matter of time until she accidentally gives them an opportunity. It's a college food service, so I'm somehow thinking that hair (and worse) in the food isn't all that out of the ordinary. So I vote Occam's Razor.

Art Crawl!!!

Were the Theta's the sorority that Veronica infiltrated?
