This episode really sets up Weevil and Duncan as possible suspects in Lilly's murder. I think it also hints that maybe Logan could be capable (like when he threatens to kill his dad) but at the same time I think he stint at the counselor's makes him seem less likely. Where as Duncan with his mysterious illness and medication as well as a three day black out makes him extremely suspicious.

I remember that I felt that how he couldn't remember three days including Lilly's murder was a bad sign. It showed he could have killed her no matter what a nice guy he seemed to be.

But just as the Tritons were a false lead in this episode. The Duncan thing was a false lead for the show. Yet it shows why his parents would have thought it could have been him.

Duncan talks about how he feels Lilly is watching over him and how she's mad he doesn't remember. He doesn't seem to think he could have done it though, interestingly.

We also have Veronica getting arrested (which of course gives her time to unethically listen into counseling sessions) and suspended for three days. We get to see Cliff again!

We also find out why Logan has been so angry at Veronica. Because she ratted him out to Lilly for kissing another girl. They were one of those on again off again couples we also learn. And Logan feels that if they had been on at the time she wouldn't have been alone and killed (and he's probably right considering who she was killed by). He blames Veronica "she was my friend too" and himself and Lilly and it's so complex but I didn't get any vibe that he could have done it in this episode really. Except for that thing with his dad, showing maybe he was capable of killing but I didn't think he would have killed Lilly. I also didn't think Weevil did either. But this did give us confirmation that he did have a thing with Lilly and even even wrote her letter after they ended.

I think this episode was mostly concentrating on shedding doubt on Duncan.

And we see Aaron being horrible to both Logan and his wife. Threatening her that she'd have nothing if she tried to divorce him. And then Logan threatened him in protection of his mom and I wonder if at that moment when Logan threatened to kill Aaron if she saw that maybe her son was becoming like his father.

And then she takes some pills and drives away and the last we see is her car on the bridge.

Oh the Karaoke thing was fun. And I liked how Veronica solved the case against her and Lamb had to read "Veronica Mars is smarter than me" out loud. Too awesome.

Things with the Lilly Kane murder seem to be really starting to heat up at this point I think. Which makes sense with only ten more episodes to go until the end of the season.

It definitely seemed like suspicion!time all around with Duncan, Weevil, and Logan, while all the while the real killer is right in front of our noses!

I forgot that it was Lynn responsible for the photos. I do feel bad for Logan and angry that her actions meant he had to deal with that in school, though she says all the women in town know anyway. It would have been known at a certain level, I suppose.

I don't think Lynn's thinking Logan's turning into his dad, more like it's a common situation that she's tired of ("I cannot take this anymore."). But maybe I'm projecting since I know the difference between Logan and Aaron.

It was great getting to hear Kristen Bell sing, though I remember hating the weird effects they added. Totally unnecessary.

Maybe Lynn wasn't worried about Logan turning into his dad, or something like him. But we do find out later that Aaron's dad beat him and his mother right? And Aaron thinks he somehow okay because he doesn't believe in hitting women. Unless he's trying to kill them I guess. Then, it's okay.

The whole cycle of abuse thing. Which does seem to come frequently in this show. I don't think that Logan is turning into his dad but he does have a temper, there is no denying that.

And Aaron's daughter later got into an abusive relationship and dismissed the seriousness of it despite the fact that she never even believed Logan's allegations that their dad abused him.

So I think, that yes she's fed up and can't take it anymore but I think there is a possibility of that fear of what Logan is going to end up like and feeling like she has not control over the matter or control over anything in her life.

I think maybe leaking those photos to the press gave her a sense of control as well as the joy of revenge even though it sucked for Logan.

Though it did put a Logan in a situation where everyone was talking about him and his family in a negative way. Paralleling what Veronica has been going through ever since Lilly's murder, in a way.
