What is even happening?

It's tough because the three biggest suspects seem like giant red herrings. Mindy wouldn't ask Keith to uncover her own murder just so she could get life insurance, and Hank and Tim are not dumb enough to brazenly use Veronica's paper to commit a murder when they know that would immediately draw her suspicion.

The only thing that makes me doubt this line of reasoning is that this is a very short mystery -- the shortest we've had so far.

So I stand by Cervando.
If it's not Cervando (with a SpyPen, in the Sally --ew, that needs work), then I'm wondering if Chip Diller won't come into play. I was surprised to see him with Logan and Dick.

Thanks, tiggy!

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

Enjoyed the ep for the most part, but a couple things bugged me.

I agree that Lab Boy should be in a different lab, one with no animal involvement. And the shocked look at the professor ordering another monkey? Please. Where did she think the first one came from? Lab animals(and that includes the rats, too) are usually specially bred for the purpose. Did she think the professor would stop his research since the monkey was gone? I know that Veronica wouldn't know that, but making the researcher seem eeeevil for his work bugs me.(Note:I've never directly worked with animals, but I've learned about lab animals from nearby labs)

Also? Enough with the Veronica/Logan. It's starting to rival the Clark/Lana hamster wheel in annoyance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, that's just mean! I compare it to Lee/Kara, because Lee/Kara used to be interesting. Clark/Lana was never interesting.

I just wish they'd give Logan his snark back. i'm sick of seeing the wounded, kicked around, emo boy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And the shocked look at the professor ordering another monkey? Please. Where did she think the first one came from?

Yeah, the missing monkey storyline did veer dangerously close to Veronica Learns A Very Special Lesson territory.

But that's okay, because -- Mac! Mac makes everything better! She can turn the world on with her smile. In fact, she can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile. t /earworm

Well it's her, girl, and she should know it -- with each glance and every little movement, she shows it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mac makes everything better! She can turn the world on with her smile. In fact, she can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile.

I liked the bit where she twirled and threw her laptop in the air while the little old lady stared at her...

(Actually, I'm even more amused by mapping Veronica as Rhoda.)
