Did he mope this much when his dad bashed Lilly's head in?

Remember when grief used to make him meaner? Part of me misses that now that Logan’s holed himself up in his suite at the Neptune Grand, refusing to return room service trays or let housekeeping air out his decadent squalor. To lift his friend’s spirits, Dick sets Logan up with his date’s sister. Except she’s 11 and Logan lands babysitting duty while Dick and his date run off to a swim team party and then to Vegas.

Kid Sister stands in for the viewing audience, trying to convince Logan to break out of his stupor and reach out to his lost love. Eventually she calls a radio station and makes a long distance dedication from Logan to Veronica. The look on V’s face as she hears the dedication, followed by Nick Lachey’s “What’s Left of Me,” is priceless. As is her look when she runs into the pair in the elevator and notices that Logan’s young companion is wearing her shirt.

Remember that guy on the left? Yeah, I thought we were gonna get to see quite a bit more of him since the A story revolved around Hearst basketball. But aside from a few scenes at the beginning, Wallace was pretty absent from the episode. The mystery centers on the coach’s son, Josh (that's him on the right), who is accused of murdering his dad after the game. Mars Investigations is hired to prove his innocence when Lamb targets him as the prime suspect.

Interestingly the A story doesn’t wrap up at the end of the episode. Instead, Veronica is arrested in the middle of Landry’s class for aiding in Josh’s escape from prison. Dun dun dun! Speaking of Landry, he’s not shaping up to be the best alibi for Mindy. Seems someone took her car out of the valet around one in the morning and returned shortly after Tim’s witness heard the gunshot. Fishy. Also, O'Dell wrote Veronica a really lovely rec letter for that FBI internship and she's through to the next round. This only strengthens her resolve to find his killer, who I think is Tim Foyle. My guess is that he was having a secret affair with Mindy. What? I'm allowed to be completely off base if I want.

In other news, Dick got married in Vegas and is need of a good lawyer. Lucky for him (and all of us), Logan knows a lawyer. That’s right, kids: Cliff’s back and he’s just as skeezy and wonderful as ever!
