That was a letdown. Let me get this straight: there’s a serial rapist running around campus and Veronica is stuck helping out some quarterback who lost his playbook. If this mystery is only going to last for nine episodes, I want some substantial information every week. I don’t want debates between the victims and some jerks. I want the freakin’ story.

          I couldn’t care less about the football player. Congratulations, your coach hates you. Prove him he’s wrong and tell him to shut the hell up. It was irresponsible of him to leave his playbook out in the open. For a rival college, that thing is priceless. How stupid was it to have his girlfriend steal the playbook? I found that very anti-climactic. If there’s one part that amused me was when Curt attacked that loser Larry. That really brought a smile to my face. Kudos to Veronica for figuring the mystery out. Should we expect anything less? Now that I think about it, it’s because of Logan’s gambling that she found out the truth. Good job Logan.

          Speaking of Logan, he needs to smarten up. I’m all for partying into the wee hours of the morning, but don’t tell your girlfriend you’re going to Mexico. Veronica also has some problems. Yes Veronica, you’re the only one who plants tracking devices in your boyfriend’s car. I’m glad Logan and Veronica aren’t all lovey-dovey. They wouldn’t be LoVe without the snarky comments and the attitude from both sides. I’m glad Logan found in him to stay with Veronica. I think sleeping together in a dark and dusty library to be kind of creepy.

          Weevil was finally back. He really looks like crap. He gained a lot of weight and looked depressed. Weevil has always been one of my favourite characters. I kept laughing every time he was on screen. Francis Capra has a way of making the audience like him. Weevil has some anger management issues, but the guy has been through hell. He got off easy. I thought he was locked up for good. It’s good to have him back. I wish Keith had kept Weevil on as secretary. Weevil answering the phone was priceless. Imagine having him as secretary. The Weevil/Veronica reunion at the gas station was priceless. I miss them together. I’m happy that Weevil has a job. He seems to have made friends with the dean.

          Do you all remember the first thing we heard from Veronica this season about not pissing anyone off? It’s only been what three weeks and she’s already pissed off the dean of the college. Nice going Veronica. I’m guessing she misses Mr. Clemmons. She treats her dean the exact same way. Is he even allowed to blackmail her? I’m sure he’s learned that blackmailing Veronica Mars is not a smart thing to do. We have all learned that by now.

          Lastly, news on the rape story. Or the lack of news is better. There was a raging conflict between the Lilith House and Lampoon characters. I was completely disinterested. Although I feel bad for the rape victims, I couldn’t stand their storyline this week. I always get a kick out of watching the girl with a ring between her nostrils. That girl cracks me up. She has no control over what she says. She just comes out and says whatever the hell she wants to say. She can beat up half the guys at Hearst. It’s too bad Callie got raped. I’m beginning to think that there’s more than one rapist. That’s just my hunch.

The Hearst Rape Files

-          Claire, a Lilith House supporter, gets raped. She is referred as “the girl in the middle.”

Quotable Quotes

-          Veronica: “Football: the systematic violation of the Geneva Convention made into a sport. I'm surprised the A.S.P.C.A. doesn't protest.”

-          Larry: “I'm not a criminal mastermind, I'm just a painter!”
Veronica: “Yeah, well, so was Hitler.”

-          Keith(talking about Weevil): “Didn't he get arrested for murder?”
Veronica: “Assault.”
Keith: “He's not even good at murder.”

-          Veronica (voice over):“Now maybe people would say they'd never install a tracking device in their significant others' car; but I think that's just because they don't know how.”

-          Weevil: “I guess I’ll go wash some spoiled bitch’s graduation gift from daddy.”

Veronica: “I’m not spoiled. And technically this wasn’t for graduation.”

Weevil: “What about the bitch part?”

-          Dick: “Veronica Mars, modern college girl on the go.”

Veronica: “Dick Casablancas, Neolithic college boy on the sauce.”

-          Piz: “It's like Jon Stewart meets Crossfire. If Jon Stewart didn't hate Crossfire.”

-          Dean O'Dell: “Collecting jocks, are we? You now have the most colorful disciplinary file in the freshman class.”

-          Veronica: “So how did people blackmail each other before e-mail? Thirty years ago I'd be here all night, cutting letters from a magazine and getting glue everywhere.”

Some Final Notes

-          Parker and Mac weren’t in the episode but we found out they’re exercising together. That’s nice.

-          No Wallace.

-          Piz has a radio show. He also has a band. Is his band going to play on the air?

-          I liked the new character Mercer Heyes. He’s made quick friends with Logan. I can see why.

-          It was sad to hear Curt left Hearst. Good job Trish.

-          Weevil on the job was good. I liked how he stood up for the security guard. He has a good eye.

-          Dean O’Dell is turning out to be the next Mr. Clemmons. On a side note, his son is weird.

-          Veronica and Keith have to interact more.

Sorry for sounding angry. The episode just wasn’t what it should have been. 2 stars
