We got some Keith versus Veronica action. Although I was expecting more of a conflict between the two Mars, this episode was satisfying. We got some excellent Logan and Veronica scenes, we got some major insight on the Lilly Kane murder case and we got an excellent stand-alone story. I love this show on so many levels that it’s hard to explain. Just try.

          The rape/sexual harassment case filed against Veronica’s favourite teacher, Mr. Rooks, was interesting. I actually thought throughout the whole episode that Carrie was really the one who had been seduced by Mr. Rooks. I did not expect that twist with Susan Knight. That was good. In the beginning, when Veronica had flashbacked to a scene in the girls’ bathroom, I felt no sympathy for Carrie. She was the Queen of Gossip and she deserved that title. She’s just lucky that Veronica was not as tough back then. In the end though, I respected her. She stood up for her friend and fought through all those lies and trash-talking. I didn’t know that someone like Carrie had it in her. What a mean thing to say. I didn’t catch why Susan didn’t want to turn Mr. Rooks in. Did she have feelings for him? Does she still have feelings for him? Veronica, like a good friend, got to the bottom of it all and helped a person she despised. Is that why we love Veronica? Ya, pretty much. Veronica was just brilliant. She has a different perspective on her work. She views a case in a different angle. She’s more creative than her father and is capable of disproving anyone. I was actually surprised that she would dare come into Mr. Rooks’ house. That’s where I think Veronica still shows signs of immaturity. She should have been suspicious. Meanwhile, he was ready to seduce her. I have to admit though, she’s quick. She got out of there in a hurry.

          I found the Logan storyline underwhelming. I loved the Logan/Veronica scenes, but deep down, I wanted Lynn to be alive. I also love how Weevil keeps doing favors for Veronica. He doesn’t owe her that much. What’s the total amount of times he’s helped her? A whole lot.

          So, Duncan is epileptic. I should have seen that one coming. There are so many hidden secrets involving Duncan. Is he somehow involved in Lilly’s death? He has type four epilepsy. What’s up with him? Could Veronica have been more careless by leaving Duncan’s medical file in the newspaper room, lying in plain sight? What’s up with that? Also, what’s up with Abel Koontz? He’s dying. So knowing he would die, he confessed to killing Lilly. Why? There has to be something else. I’m surprised that Koontz allowed another visit with Veronica. Good stuff.

The Lilly Kane Files

-          Duncan has type four epilepsy.

-          Abel Koontz is dying. Is that why he confessed?

Quotable Quotes
