Was it "the Feminists" who were handing out the detection coasters? I thought it was Parker, who wasn't throwing eggs, and has been allowed to be a little bit more dimensional.

I thought she was doing it as part of a booth set up by Lilith House.

Was it "the Feminists" who were handing out the detection coasters? I thought it was Parker, who wasn't throwing eggs, and has been allowed to be a little bit more dimensional.

The confusion is that there were a couple organizations that the feminists were involved with. Take Back the Night was handing out coasters, and Parker was involved with them, as was Nish & Co. Lillith House seems to be a different organization -- basically, excuse the term, a sorority -- that shares a lot of members, but Parker wasn't one of them.

I think it was the Take Back the Night organization, and I don't know if they are synonymous with the Lilith House. I don't know that I buy Parker trucking much with Claire & Co. once finding out that she faked her rape. But I can see her supporting other similar organizations.

When I was watching the episode, I thought there was a technical snafu at the start of Mercer's recording, which raised VM's suspicions. For some reason I thought he was broadcasting from the party, which I will admit is fallible thinking.

I was totally a-skeered at the end.

I am REALLY confused, though, about the Logan alibi rape. So I guess it's either 1) that was one of the faked ones or 2) Moe stepped in. When was that particular incident, anyway?

I hope the next arc features MORE WEEVIL!

So I guess it's either 1) that was one of the faked ones

Yes. I had strongly assumed Nancy faked her rape all along since she was so vocal about it and the anti-Greek stuff, and she was connected to the Lilith folk. And when the fems were asked how many other rapes were faked, they didn't say anything, implying that Claire wasn't the only one.

I think I missed something. What was the plot twist?

Maybe "plot twist" is the wrong word. I meant that it was a surprise twist that Mercer had an accomplice. We were never led to believe that the rapes were perpetrated by more than one culprit. So when Moe (who was kind of fishy from the start -- to us, if not to Veronica) turned out to be the person Veronica ran into, it was a real a-ha! moment.

From what I understand, the rape for which Logan provided Mercer with the Mexico alibi happened during the summer -- that victim was Nancy. There were a couple of interpretations as to how that was possible. Either 1) Nancy was another one of the fake rapes, which seems likely as the feminists looked guilty when Veronica accused them of faking more than just Claire's rape, or 2) Nancy's was a real rape and Mercer ran a taped recording of the show during the crime, callers and all, which Veronica realized when Mercer's show was playing during the party despite the fact that Mercer was actually *at* the party.

2) Nancy's was a real rape and Mercer ran a taped recording of the show during the crime, callers and all

But... he was in... Mexico... with Logan?

Also, I keep hearing the name Nancy, but who is she? Does she have any other attributes than "person who may or may not have been raped while Mercer was in Mexico?"

See, I'm clear on Claire, but I'm with Nora -- who the hell is Nancy?

Also, I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize the picture of Moe and Mercer in Moe's room featured them in the prisoner experiment garb. Some stuff passes by too quickly for my little brain.

But... he was in... Mexico... with Logan?

Heh. Yeah, I think it's more likely that the rape that occurred while Mercer was in Mexico was faked. That second theory really doesn't hold water when I look at it again.

I actually don't remember anything about Nancy -- but other people elsewhere (in LJ) mentioned that she was the girl who claimed rape while Mercer was in Mexico. Was she tight with Nish and co.? I can't recall if we've ever seen her.

I heard a definite glitch (a tape slowdown, I think) on Mercer's show which is what set Veronica's "a-ha" off.
