It may have just been there for ironic foreshadowing. Although I didn't think of its being empty. I sincerely doubt it will turn out to be suicide, but an empty bottle could have that effect: that also narrows down the list of suspects to people who know his history with that bottle, however.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Maybe Rob wrote it into the script so they would actually have to go out a buy a bottle of 40yo scotch as a prop.

I'm going to have to write a tv show. Every ep will feature expensive scotch as a plot point. Hell, every other line will feature expensive scotch. I will call it Scotchy McScotcherson: The Scotch Drinking Scotch Lover.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Maybe it'll be empty indicating suicide?
I think Lamb will jump to that conclusion even without the scotch.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
do you think the scotch could have been drugged?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That wouldn't make much sense to me, because he specifically wasn't drinking that scotch that night. Unless he knew it was drugged, and he was planning on using it on someone else.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
You know, the fact that the dean was actually nice to Veronica at the beginning of the episode should have tipped me off that he wasn't long for this world.
I mostly finished the episode going "Huh." I liked a lot of individual moments (and didn't care for others. I found Piz's goon dance and Veronica's weird slow-mo run to techno music really annoying. The latter took me out of what should have been an intense scene.)
Loved Mac. Wished we had seen more of her (especially after the long absence) but her scene at the party was absolutely perfect, between the t-shirt and her getting whiskey!boy to spike her drink, testing it and then tossing it out.
Definitely think TA Tim is the prime suspect for the dean's murder. As others have said, the emphasis on the perfect murder papers and him making a big scene at the party just seem too convient.

Veronica AND Weevil. How doomed could one man be?
Veronica's weird slow-mo run to techno music really annoying.
See, I loved that, but I love that Fatboy Slim number so that's probably part of it.

What is even happening?
I liked it fine, and the song as well. In the aftermath though, the Fatboy Slim song has proven to be an extra nasty earworm, and to add insult to injury, it quickly devolves in the Jesus Jones' song, "Right Here, Right Now."
I'm pretty sure Rob Thomas is a demon.
