I liked this episode but I remember it made me sad too. The case itself mostly.
The mooncalf collective, while kind of goofy was sweet and harmless. Casey was a better person because of them and his parents were asses. They didn’t care about his grandmother, they only cared about the money. They had him taken against his will and brainwashed/deprogramed and he was legally an adult. That really annoyed me.
I did like how the episode brought up the moral issues of being a private investigator. And I’m glad in the end Keith did the right thing.
There was also the contrast between rich in poor here on a personal level. Keith and Veronica living in a crappy apartment with an iffy water system. And Casey about to inherit 80 million dollars. Which just sounds insane.
Earlier in the episode Veronica has to pull over after her trip to visit Abel Koontz and throw up at the thought that Duncan could be her brother. She also tracks down her stalker who happens to be Clarence Wiedman and Head of Security over at Kane’s business.
Veronica sends off her blood and her dad’s (that she lied to get) to do a paternity test. But in the end shreds the results. Which I can on one hand understand and on the other hand it drives me crazy. Not because of Jake or potential money but because of Duncan and the fact she dated him and what if they wanted to date again, isn’t it best to know?
But I get the gesture and I get why she didn’t want to know just then. She didn’t want to think of Keith as anything but her father. While they argued in this episode a few times, he’s still a great dad and she doesn’t want to loose that I think. And while she wouldn’t really but the idea would be there if he wasn't really her biological father.
