Not that there appear to be folks not familiar with the show participating, but...
This is one of my favorite episodes of the season. I think it shows that Veronica judges people by their behavior, not their status. She can be led astray, so to speak, but in the end, she's not anti-09er for the sake of it or simply out of revenge. She treats people fairly or equally, be it nicely, suspiciously, or harshly.
At this point in the series, I'm pretty sure I was digging Logan and may already have been shipping Logan/Veronica. This is the third time Veronica falsely accuses him, and I love their little exchange where Veronica says the critics were just beginning to have some doubts, implying that Logan might be all right after all, and Logan earnestly replies that he doesn't have time to be responsible for everything going wrong in her life.
At the same time, the bum fights are one of the worst things we see Logan do in the series. Only when the man at the gas station asks Logan if he found another guy willing to make an ass out of himself for money and Logan makes the connection to his father does Logan seem to understand how wrong it was. Seeing Logan's terror with his father earlier when he's grabbed and then the way he STILL decides to get back at him by saying Aaron is donating money to the shelter, knowing he'll be beaten later--it's a defining characteristic of Logan's, I think, that defiance and perhaps self-destructiveness. You see it in the pilot too (and honestly in his relationship with Lilly and Veronica).
And we learn about Duncan as well; the scene where he expands Pirate Points was definitely one where I finally liked him. I do think it's interesting to note that in the flashback, when that non-09er kid sits down, neither Logan nor Lilly have a problem with it either. Dick is the one who moves the kid's stuff. But, yes, Duncan is the one who defends him.
We get another Lilly/Weevil hint, this time from Wanda.
We get two ~villains: Aaron and Madison Sinclair, Bitch Extraordinaire!
Spoilers!
