Veronica Mars starts with a comfortable dinner between Keith, Veronica, and Logan.

I miss non-remixed opening song.

Mysteries this episode include Veronica finding out what is happening to Logan’s missing trust money, and Keith helping someone named Harmony. Harmony thinks her husband is cheating.

Dick also wants Veronica to clear the Pi-Sig frat of the rape rumors. You won’t find a book full of quotes from Dick on the middleclass American’s coffee table. It would include such reasonable sayings as, “Why rape the cow when you’re swimming in free milk?” In the words of the immortal Inspector Gadget, wowsers!

Keith and Harmony are flirting rather heavily. No petting, but shoeless conversation. Where does that rank on the flirtation chart? Somewhere between smiling and naked dancing.

There are so many penguin-centric movies for kids these days. How long until Chilly Willy gets his fair shake?

The money being skimmed from Logan’s trust fund is going to Charlie Stone. That’s Logan’s brother. Logan has a brother? He seems surprised too. If that wasn’t enough, a fake half-brother was sent in Charlie’s place to woo Logan with coolness. Veronica found the real one. Veronica is one smart lady.

A touching moment between Logan and his fake half-brother is ruined by a horrible voice over. Then Logan punched his fake half-brother, who is a journalist for Vanity Fair. Do journalists exist any more?

That was a solid episode. Good characters, plot, and dialogue! A fantastic way to spend a stupid Tuesday night. Tuesdays are stupid.
