So that's what a broken-hearted Piz looks like

Oh, Piz. The first rule of surviving to a second season is not to get between Logan and Veronica. Others have tried and you know where they ended up? On the run from Johnny Law in Australia, back East at boarding school and dead in a rundown motel, that’s where they ended up. I like you kid, so you might want to find a nice girl who’s not already so entwined with a hot bad boy that you’ll never be able to pry her free. Just a friendly suggestion.

So VM’s back and still awesome. The episodic mystery (stolen monkey from on-campus lab) was pretty obvious, but it was fun to see Veronica and Mac infiltrate an animal rights group. Most fun was PHAT’s leader, Bronson, is totally smitten with Mac and he doesn’t seem even remotely homicidal. Yay! Also, we learned in the switched at birth episode in Season 1 that Mac is a “freakball vegan” so they probably have that in common.

I fell even further in love with both Dick (for Polaroiding his genitals and dropping the pics on unsuspecting passersby) and Parker (for wryly pointing out that of the single gals, the most ready to mingle was also “the most recent victim of sexual assault.”) Parker’s exactly what mopey Mac and snarky Veronica need. She’s fun and flirty and totally has your back if some crazy dudes are trying to roofie you to death.

Here’s what we know so far in the case of the Dead Dean:
1. Lamb ruled O’Dell’s death a suicide. Just like that pesky bus driver in Season 2. Whadya wanna bet he’s right this time?
2. Mindy claims she was with Horny Hank Landry all night, but she didn’t tell Keith about Cyrus showing up to confront them at the Neptune Grand.
3. O’Dell didn’t drink any of his prized scotch before allegedly offing himself, so Keith thinks foul play may be involved. Duh.
4. Landry read Keith’s book. That means he probably knew who Veronica was before he took her on as his prized student. I’m just saying…
5. The Dean’s typed suicide note “Goodbye, cruel world,” was cribbed from Veronica’s A-earning perfect murder paper for Landry’s class.

Dun dun dun!

PS. How cute was Ricky from Not Another Teen Movie with Oscar the monkey? Answer: very cute.

So, knowing RT, we MUST have seen the murderer by now, yes?!?

That's weird. I have not a suspect in mind. Perhaps it IS Landry, and we've ruled him out as a red herring. Using Veronica's paper would be an excellent cover--surely the world reknowned criminal psychologist would never do something that obvious. Or would he?

Wouldn't it be great if it was Piz?

Oscar the monkey was like the BEST monkey EVER on TV (suck that, Marcel from Friends [I had to clarify as I am totally rooting for Marcel from Top Chef]).

Ooohhh, if Piz was the murderer that would give him the bad boy edge and maybe then Veronica would fall for him. Just kidding. I want to like Piz. I actually do like Piz. I just don't want him nosing around Veronica and disrupting the Logan and Veronica bliss. Which looks like its going to last all of one episode. Poor Piz. Nice guys always finish last.

I loved the Parker, Mac, Veronica interactions. Parker rocks. And Mac's guy is a hottie! So glad its back!
