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.

Back to the Dean O'Dell mystery, my thoughts are this:

Mindy: I just can't see her hiring Keith if she actually murdered her husband. There may be something hinky going on with her (beyond the affair with Landry) but I think she's ultimately innocent of Cyrus' death.

Not!Lucky (I can never remember if his name is Tim or Ted for some reason.): We don't have a real motive, but he could have done it. Yes, the files on his computer could be season 1 Veronica, or they could be him tracking the evidence trail to make sure he didn't leave any leads back to him. He also had access to Veronica's perfect murder paper (if it wasn't posted, in which case everyone has access.)

Landry: Maybe. He's got motive, sort of. But I don't see him really thinking of Cyrus as someone who needed to be bumped off. However, he could have taken Mindy's car back to the college to off O'Dell and that's how it ended up being egged.

Right now, my prime candidate is the teenage son. He had motive, he's stolen O'Dell's car in the past (which would explain how the car got egged), I can definitely see O'Dell's reaction to showing up at his office at 2am to be "What are you doing here?" whereas Mindy or Landry would probably get a more visceral reaction, considering his mental space at the time, and he certainly doesn't seem to be shook up by the whole ordeal. I can also see a teenager downloading instructions on how to commit a perfect murder from the internet (if Veronica's paper was indeed posted) and following them to the letter.

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

Ooh. Interesting idea, Kalshane.

What is the motive, exactly? He just doesn't like him?

Constant butting of heads, followed by the fact that shortly before his death, O'Dell had threatened to ship him off to a disciplinary school, according to Mindy in the most recent episode. Guarantees he won't have to go if:

1) Cyrus isn't around to send him

2) The death looks like a suicide, leaving Mindy with no money to send him.

That is my question -- why would he kill his dad?

His stepdad, though, right?

Is he? I thought that the teenager was the Dean's son from his first marriage?

I guess I had it backwards.

I thought so. Though I can't really remember which kids, if any, were actually Cyrus'.

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

I'm pretty sure Mindy refered to him as the Dean's son in the last episode. Has anyone compiled a complete list of suspects? I'm tempted to do it myself, but I am bad with remembering characters names.

Mindy
The son
Tim the TA
Landry (I'm tempted to call him Lance.)

Are there any others?

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

I thought the teenage son was the Dean's son from his first marriage, too.
