Piz is put in charge of escorting his idol, Desmond Fellows, a singer/musician from a 1990's pop band who arrives on the Hearst campus to perform at a benefit concert for the radio station. When tapes of Fellow's back-up vocals and tracks go missing, Piz recruits Veronica to help locate them.
Discuss!

"You're a Jewish group and your initials are S.S.?" LOLOLOLOL!
Isn't the guy playing Desmond the same guy who was in "Clueless" as the guy Cher falls for?

"grade my ass. net" "red bull and licorice" "done" "Their leftover gum?" All the old hit" What a wonderful man! That was AWESOME!!!!!! "Fez" "Pez" "Fax" LEO!!!! "Danny Boyd" FitzPatrick? JEEBUS ;D Desmond wrote the good ones? HOW? V! Flaz! Look at the TA in the background.. Heh!!! Oh god, the prof (not a T.A.) is a total fangirl. His "ask a lion/expert on asses" thing actually amost made sense. I'm scared. Yes, Desmond, you are a hack. And Piz is gonna try to get him to actually write something.... He's singing to himself now. "I hope we're still friends after I taser you" So Mac calls on Max. "Buz! Bizzen!" "La Paz!" Deputy sacks.. "Oh my god, I don't reccomend this!"

Wallace is doing film studies, eh? He's either interested or thinks it's an "easy" grade. Nice bit o' banter between him and V, as she tries to get him to gossip about Piz. "Am I a 12 year old girl?" "No. But you're drinking Fresca and watching a Joan Crawford movie." ;D Keith is (so far) running unopposed for sheriff and so he thinks he "might stand a chance". He looks tired and is obviously worrying a bit. I think settling in back in office is definitely harder than he was expecting. Ok, the case of the week starts to be described. All revolving around Desmond, a ?former? star of the now-defunct (after the other guy died) band called (and I just love the name! ) My Pretty Pony. Brief scene in business class to let us know that, while he is at least attending now, Logan is not exactly a model student. He obviously hasn't done much. With Dick there, it's like a reminder of the acheivers club thing from high school. **snork** Love the classic bits of rocker settling into hotel room. The little bottles of drink, the girl waiting in the bed, the obnoxious behavior and inability to remember anyone's name (Fez, Pus, etc.). And we got our favorite snarky bell boy guy. "Waiting for a tip. It's a customary thing - in America." Heh. She says "advice, never meet your idol" to Piz. 'Cuz of course he is meeting, and being disappointed by, his idol. Aaaand the tapes are missing. So, did she take them? Or? More heeee! Veronica and Mac and comparing boyfriends to food. (Ha! I was right that Mac was interested in him.) "Me? I'm not ordering good boy while wishing I was ordering bad boy!" (Pot, meet kettle.) "No, you gave up bad boy to keep asking for samples of good boy." (Ouch!) And then we get the very cute, "if Logan is fettucini", Veronica answers phone "it's the eggplant" moment. Veronica assumes Piz wants to talk relationships, rather than a new case - cue awkward moment number one. Veronica runs into Logan at the elevator - cue awkward moment number two. Piz arrives to meet up with Veronica and Logan - cue awkward moment number 3. Desmond continues his jerkish behavior (although the "you look like a feisty young Barbara Eden" comment is less jerky and more just plain dorkishly cute) as well as flaunting his faded rock star enui ("what are you taking pills for?" "ah. you know. life.". Yep. Logan has no business plan. And Dick continues to be one of the stupid people. Ultimate frisbee? Yeah. Mac is perhaps not the best match for this guy. Logan and Mac moment. I love those two being friends. ;D The radio interview/promotion thing is a perfect presentation of your basic callers. A gushing fan that gets to be disgusted by him, a non-fan that thinks he's a hack, someone trying to use the show to push their agenda, and an "hey dude" caller. ;D And Desmond is actually pretty funny and not ruffled about it all. Well, except for repeatedly almost getting them in trouble for language on the air, which is why he's there doing a benefit in the first place. Leo!!!! **squees** And he's got info that might mean a case for Keith that involves the Fitzpatricks. Huh. It's old school characters episode. Piz is still making excuses for Desmond. And the woman in Desmond's room was the teacher. Huh.

Huh. Digging in to Desmond's soul.
Vinnie!!!!!! *squee*

I would contest the "semi" qualifier on that "alcoholic" tag.

Who IS this guy?
And he's singing like a lark.
Aw. That's sweet, the hand-holding, and my eyes are burning at the same time.
He CAN remember his name. he has, the entire time.
"all set to fleece idiots"
"compromise your cheating site with a link to our ass site? Wow he's human. and he's taking Grace out for a drink.
Mac all dorky and joking."M-ass-terpiece"
"No more talk of Veronica's love life. Ever."
Bronson is WAY too active for her. Ultimate freaking frisbee?! Glah. no sport for geeks.
Dick!!!! Wah!
Heh. the prof is tetchy.
The prof is REAL tetchy. jeez. and all that work he did.
Deputy Mumbles is back! Woohoo!!!
Vinnie running for sheiff. Oh, lord amighty.

"grade my ass. net" "red bull and licorice" "done" Soooooo good! ;D I was dying over that bit. Yes!! Paul Rudd is totally bringing the funny. ;D Tell me about it! It's like a roll call of old timers, eh? Be very very scared. ;D And I loved how they captured typical local news so well. "When we come back, a household item that can be dangerous to your pets and children!" Another very cute Veronica and Wallace moment. Also loved the "cuteness countdown of hte Baldwin brothers" line that caused the taser comment. Heh. The content is interchangeable. You wanna do boobs, legs, kittens, whatever. Ah, Sachs! Poor guy is always the buzzkill.

Interesting. Extra is acutally an advertiser of VM. So, it's like product placement, but done in a non-hidden and fairly witty manner. Hey, Erin. Can you use that in your studies? Professor says she didn't take the stuff and they try to get her to admit it with the bit about drugs - 'cuz they're a matter of "life and death". Heh! Nice way to twist his earlier comment. The whole "Dick as ass expert consultant, lion and gerbil" thing was pretty funny, in a typical warped-Dick way. So. We have the moment when we see a glimpse at the former Desmond - both in still writing songs (and maybe seeing an element of his previous partner in Piz) and in the video clip (nicely done - funny but also recognisably a "cool band" thing). Which makes me wonder if he "stole" the tapes himself, because he doesn't want to play the old songs anymore, but is afraid to lose the routine he's built for himself now. Heh. "Dude, you are my idol! Who are you?" Kinda sums things up for Desmond, eh? More cute Wallace and Veronica banter - yays!

Heeee! Love his "working class hero" shirt and how he's wearing it all during the faux argument with Keith about the Beatles and who was the best sherrif. Too perfect! "Oh, you meant those Beatles". Bring the leg irons. Let it be. ;D Hee. Mac and Max are too too cute. (So, do we call them . . . Macx? ) For the lazy, for the stupid. "See, the point of the internet is to make money off of stupid people." Heee! So true. Oh, and for porn. Loved their mock battle - the "hot nerd on nerd action". Veronica does the patented "pretend to want to join" thing with the S forS. And finds Ratnor! Aha! Only, not so aha. "I don't accept your apology." "I'll live." Heee. Well, you know, Veronica, he can't be the answer to every single case you have. Snarky Desmond. Who simply took the wrong bag? Heeee!!! Only, now he knows that he doesn't want to do the old songs anymore. He's hankering to be doing his own new stuff again. So, did he really lose them, or was it a subconscious attempt to not have to do the old songs again?

They head off to get the right bag. And I also want to know how does this guy get thru airport security?
Nice bit with Piz and Veronica actually talking in the car. First about why he likes/cares about Desmond and then about their relationship. Good, they needed to just take the time to talk, not keep dancing around the topic.
They find the "new crap" and his notebook of songs. Ah, so Piz is gonna try to get him back on track, get him to do his new stuff, I'll bet.
Keith and Leo, on a stake out! Yays! Ooooh, guns . . . .and Vinnie?!? Hmmm. Well, he does have some experience working with/for the Fitzpatricks. Locking them in? Ah! He was hired to check security and "infiltrated" the gang. Coolness. Coolness with a really really bad fake moustache.
Hmmmm. They're "caught in traffic", eh? Methinks that's not true. Can he "start" with one of the new songs. Uh huh. Piz is beginning his "rehabilitate Desmond" project.
Yep. They're right there, not in traffic. He's just leaving his fate up to a "spineless and semi-alcoholic has-been rock star".

So, Desmond plays the new stuff, which some folks do want to hear and most end up enjoying. Frankly, the ones who were booing the idea of hearing new stuff are really really dumb. Because being at an event when a famous musician plays his first new stuff in a decade? First time in public? Is an experience you can dine out on for the rest of your life, no matter what the songs are like. And if they turn out to be the start of a whole new career for him? Dude, you were there! Never turn down that kind of experience. So, we get the rocker perhaps redeemed by Piz's confidence and faith in him (complete with "wild" professor getting to hook up with him) and Veronica gets to really see Piz. As a "good guy", but more than that, as a real person with his own interests and passions and what not. Heeee! Love love love Macx. "You're all set to fleece idiots." "Thanks!" "Hey, free food, why not. Just remember you gotta link to me." "Sure you want to compromise the reputatoin of your cheating site with a link to our ass site?" They are just too cute together. She sooooo has to get with him rather than morning hike guy. And now we get the mirror image of Veronica pumping Wallace about Piz. Logan pumping (or attempting to pump) Mac about Veronica. "If you think she was unfaithful, you're an idiot." Very true! Ah, we get a baby return of angsty, emo-Logan. Awwwww. So cute. Heh! Mac went for 50 pecent share of the site - she knows it'll make money. And she dumps Bronson! Ha! I called it! He is a good guy, but she is right that they just don't fit the best. Especially when she keeps finding herself attracted to another guy. Best to be honest and stop it before it gets complicated and icky. Hmmm. Logan's professor shoots down his presentation. But it really is an actual business. Makes me wonder why Logan is going to school. Why not just . . . take your money and create businesses and live and so on? Well, I mean, I know school is important, etc. etc. But, does he really need it and does he really fit in there, with his background and so on? Hiring Leo again? Hmmmm. I don't know if that's the most ethically right decision. And Vinnie is running for sherrif too. Of course he is. Did he say that the guy backing him was the owner of the bar that Keith got in trouble? This is gonna get . . . interesting. Ugly and interesting.

"Rent boy from Oslo called that" Bwah!! Oh so very excellent! Too funny how he wound up Keith so nicely. And he was right, really. They are hot nerd on nerds. Which means the case really wasn't a case. Like Keith's case turned out not to be a case. Instead, it's all about the people - their characters and what's underneath and so on - that's what was important. Not to mention the whole "message" of the ep, facing the future, moving on, not being afraid to try something new, etc. etc.
