More sex brings more sex which brings more lies and more confrontation which brings more deception and more anger. We got some very interesting information about the man who washed up on the beach. Think Aaron Echolls. Also, the Casablancas estate isn’t exactly what we presumed it should be. It’s life in Neptune as it should be.

          The guy who washed up on the beach with Veronica’s name on his palm has become a central figure in the mystery. His name is David “Curly” Moran. He used to be a stuntman for Aaron Echoll’s first movie, “The Long Haul.” This is interesting. Veronica automatically assumes that the bus crash was going to be used to kill her. She assumes Aaron Echolls was after her. This all makes sense. Here’s what doesn’t make sense, Moran looked indifferent after he saw Veronica on the cliff. I’m quite observant. When she helped him light the candle, he didn’t look at all shocked. Also, on a creative perspective, having Aaron as the big bad of the second season as well as the first is not a good move. So, I can assure all of you that Aaron Echolls was not the culprit.

          It was fitting that Duncan and Logan finally clashed. I don’t blame Duncan for exploding, but I do blame him for being a bad friend. I can understand his hatred for the Echolls family, but Logan has always been by him. I can understand being angry for a week, but this was the whole summer. Besides, it’s not as if Logan loves his father. He says this. Duncan just hasn’t realized it yet. It’s time he does. Add to the fact that Duncan is dating Veronica and sure, Logan is going to be a bit grumpy. A bit? Logan was taking some cheat shots in the classroom when he directs the “you didn’t plug her right” to Duncan. That is very embarrassing…and mean.

          I didn’t expect Mr. Casablancas to be that screwed up. He actually committed property fraud. How was he able to pull that off? I felt really really felt bad for Mr. Pope. He was planning on retiring early and instead, he finds himself with no money left. I’m glad he didn’t sell his stocks. That would suck for the buyer. Cassidy wanted proof that Kendall was cheating on his father, and instead, he gets Veronica to prove his father’s guilt. Consequently, Mr. Casablancas runs away leaving Kendall and his children behind. I loved watching all his employees panic as they’re shredding any papers they can find. Can they get arrested for that?

          I’m glad Keith finally went on a special date with Alicia. I was getting sick and tired of Veronica stepping in whenever the parents wanted to be a bit…steamy. Things can really get steamy. Now, it turns out Alicia had another name, Cher. This huge cop followed her calling her Cher. She just kept walking with Keith. Did Alicia have a shady past in Chicago? Is that why she looked so hesitant to go to Chicago? We all saw the face. When Keith told her he had to go to a book signing, her face changed. I hope she doesn’t turn out to be a disappointment. Keith is filing for divorce and she can replace Liane. I hate Liane.

The Bus Crash Files

-          The man washed up on the beach is named Curly Moran.

-          He once worked for Aaron Echolls as the stuntman for The Long Haul.

-          Veronica met him at the scene of the crime lighting a candle.

-          It’s assumed that the bus crash was intended to kill her.

Quotable Quotes

-          Dick: “Are you sure you’re not looking for the future boot-licking class?” That was good.

-          Veronica: “Unfortunately, there aren’t laws against exploiting rich and horny middle-aged men for their money.” That is unfortunate.

-          Veronica: “Maybe I should become a trophy wife.”

-          Deputy Sacks: “Sheriff wants to ask you some questions.”

Veronica: “My answer is final. I will not go to prom with him.”

-          Lamb: “You’re eighteen. You’re an adult now.”

Veronica: “That makes one of us.”

-          Veronica (voice-over): “Tailing young Ms. Kendall is about as hard following Malibu Barby to the beach house.”

-          Dick: “Dude, dog-racing is totally legal.” Is it really?

-          Veronica (voice-over): “Retract claws, Veronica.”

-          Veronica: “How can Jackie stand the non-stop excitement of being herself?”

-          Veronica: “They died because of me.”

Some Final Notes

-          I hate Jackie. Why is she already cheating on Wallace? I can’t wait for Veronica to burn her. It’s about time.

-          I can’t believe Veronica offered Jackie and Wallace to go over and watch Pride and Prejudice. The book is horrible and boring.

-          Why is Veronica in the FBLA class? Is she honestly going to become a business woman? I always thought of her as a future kick-ass spy like our dead Sydney Bristow.

-          I enjoyed the scenes where Veronica follows Kendall. The gym scene was a classic. Veronica telling Kendall her butt is gorgeous was great.

-          Am I the only one that gets irritated by Cassidy?

-          I still can’t believe the Sandpiper was faked the way it was.

-          I’m glad Veronica gave Mr. Pope the news before she destroyed Casablancas’ company. He was such a great guy and he couldn’t do anything about it. I liked when he ripped the picture of his sailboat off. That was strong.

-          I loved Logan’s “inspiration message of the day”: “To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose is the next best thing.” Those are hysterical. So Logan.

-          The “Karaoke night” at the restaurant was painful. The first singer was just awful. I was laughing of course. Don’t worry. I don’t have a nice voice either.

-          The Logan and Veronica speech in his room was great. Veronica just said what had to be said. She wasn’t cleaning up after him anymore. It was his life now and she had nothing to do with it anymore.

Not bad. Four stars.
