The first thing I noticed was the way Mercer was looking at her, and I thought her reaction seemed pretty genuine. Also, Parker seems a little too... straightforward to be in on it. i agree on all counts. the guy that plays mercer is pretty good at giving off the "creepy" vibe. i wonder what's so top-secret that logan can't (or believes he can't) spill it to veronica. For some reason, I like Mercer. He kinda reminds me of Spike, in that he is unapologetic for being who he is. I don't think he's evil. He does like his games, tho. Parker did seem to be genuinely put off by him and his cologne.

"see you in class.......rory finch" i didn't see that one coming! did you guys? I spent several precious minutes trying to figure out why the dean's wife or the professor would have tried to set up Veronica. I was in the middle of a vast conspiracy in which the prof was so convinced she was going to find out about the affair (simply because she's such a fab detective, which is insane troll motivation, really) that he was getting ready to pre-emptively control her two ways. Either by getting her tossed or by bribing her with special "I'll be your advisor" favors. And then I saw Veronica talking to the T.A. and it all made sense again. Me and my overactive imagination.

The black chic who's leading the feminist rallies was the one who was raped over the summer, I guess. Not sure if she has a name or anything else about her. I think her name is Nancy.

So it's disgruntled workers syndrome Piz wants to do a Rygel? Poor Wallace is over-committed. Now Veronica really does pull an Emma. She's not you type? Dude, she closely resembles Veronica, at least physically. But I'm thinking he's a "smart chicks are hot" kind of guy. Or else gay. They're showing more of Piz's rather wicked sense of humor and it's making me like him a lot more. ;D I know they are solving the mystery quicker, but somehow this is feeling too . . . easy. Like Mercer is another mis-identification maybe? I know. They actually did the whole thing well, I can see the motivation of each of them, but I can't help thinking it will all end in tears.

Holy hell, I think I just had a heart attack!!!! And that was pretty hot at the end, too. ;D **nods vigorously to both of these** The car crash was just too too real feeling. **shiver**

OMG - Keith is having "to hell with it, I almost got killed and I want you" sex. Oh, oh, oh. This happened to me after I got in a "I coulda been killed" accident when a driver who was asleep at the wheel slammed into me and scrunched my car something awful. My ex and I had literally just broken up (for the first time), and he was ahead of me in his car. We had just left his place. I was heading home; he was going elsewhere. He pulled over, of course, having seen my accident. We went back to his place. And yada, yada, yada. And we stayed together another year or so. It was very well done, that's for sure. I can totally see how it would go just like this for them. But boy, talk about the huge potential for making a bad bad decision.

Daddy no go home. I KNEW the bastard was somehow behind it. You are a clever clever lad, you are. Yes! Should be interesting to see how this twists and turns, eh?

Well, looks like Veronica is gonna wind up with the Natalie Portman 'do. Scenes from next week made me very very nervous, they did.

veronica used to be so much better at lying. ETA lucky for her that the dean seems too distracted to notice. Distracted. Oh, yeah. All he did for his wife and her kid, and then how does she repay him? Makes me wonder if he actually knows or at least suspects what she's up to.

Hee! And here all I imagined was that the Professor was selling the good papers from his class to the cheaters online and the TA innocently ran her paper thru the filter. I'm glad the writers are tricksier than I am. ;D

Well, at least she didn't walk into them in bed together. Ah, bitterness of being replaced. Yeah, the "I might have done this for your benefit" thing was . . . well, not the full picture, that's for sure. That was intriguing, was it not? **nods** We need to got back all the way to last year and the first victims we saw.

OK, just to get this straight, the TA put Veronica's paper up on the site, but he did it using the Prof's email address, and he got Jeff Ratner to help him? That sounds about right. I think that what Jeff did was the original complaint (cuz the TA doing it would be suspicious) and probably tipped off the TA to the Prof's visits to the hotel.

Well - I've got my hands full trying to write up the review for this one, I think. Keith & Harmony are good together, but she needs to start being honest with her husband. I hope Keith starts to think sensibly about this once he gets over the "almost got killed" high. You most definitely do have your hands full with this one. That whole paper storyline really bugged me, and I just now realized why. I took an Art History class when I was a freshman at college, and our first paper in class I was the only person who got an A. The teacher singled me out, and was bitching to the other students about how they weren't paying attention, etc. A girl in my class (she was a friend of a friend) asked if she could look over my paper to get an idea about what she did wrong, and she said she'd give it back to me next class. I never got that damn paper back. I'm still pissed off about it--I was proud of that paper, dammit! Sorry. I've got issues. And I babble occasionally. Wow! First Spring and now Monnie - real life is coming perilously close to being played out on VM! **huggles you both**

And he did it all to save Veronica from the prof's evil clutches. Also - he's and amateur detective himself. I wondered about the DNA evidence - there is none. Sounds like some sort of a vendetta against the Fraternity. Parker is either a dupe, or she's in on it.The first thing I noticed was the way Mercer was looking at her, and I thought her reaction seemed pretty genuine. Also, Parker seems a little too... straightforward to be in on it. I lean toward thinking Parker is an innocent party as well. Something about her just rings true.

Yup. And totally hated because of it. I wonder if some folks were expecting her to crumble because of that. They might not realize how much experience she has with being hated by a large group of people. That part actually really spoke to me because I've been there (in high school, not college). Teacher or the Administration using (a) student(s) as a status symbol, an example of their own success. And it sucks being reduced like that, but you want to try to use it to your advantage and see what you can get out of 'em (and there's my mother's influence creeping in). Sometimes it can be like diplomatic immunity. I don't know how much hate there was. I tried my best to be likeable, at least on the outside. And I'm sure you were. I really didn't like the way the prof puffed her up like that and then took her to lunch and schmoozed her. It was a bit . . . not good, somehow, to me. And you could tell Veronica really didn't like the attention in class that way.
