Veronica Mars: 2.17- Plan B

Looks like the Felix murder has been solved (I guess)! The real witness to the crime (not the coke head doc) said he saw Thumper do it, so there you have it. Instead of waiting around for Lamb to get off his butt and do something, Weevil took matters into his own hands and set our favorite oddly-named biker up to be taken out by the Fitzpatricks. And, boy did they! Thumper perished in the imploding stadium, chained to a urinal. That couldn't have been fun. Of course, Logan won the essay contest so he's the one who got to push down the plunger. I respect that irony!

Speaking of Logan, his antics as deputy commissioner were awesome, from his swearing in ("It burns...") to the stealing of Lamb's parking space. I vote that he retains the position for the rest of the season. And I bet Woody does too...

Because, ew, he totally molested him after their "work out". Is this a hint that the Woodman is secretly gay? Expect my guesses and predictions after next week's episode!

Wallace surprised me this time around. He dumped Jane (awww :( ) and tried to hook back up with Jackie, who, while attempting to fix her reputation, aint having it. And good for her! She would have looked like a jerk and that added to all the speculation about her dad would have been terrible for her.

Another crazy twist was Mac and Beaver's break up. How weird was the Beav this week? His reaction to Mac's wanting to move forward in their relationship was bizarre. Many fans think it's a sign that he's gay but I'm not buying it. I'm also not buying the theory that Beaver was molested by Dick or that Beaver was born a girl. I may be on board with the "Beav has a STD" theory, but that's the only fan conjecture on the topic that I feel comfortable with. I have a good deal of love for the Casablancas boys, so I just cant bring myself to believe that either of them is as evil as some have been claiming. God, I hope I'm right!

Another coupling that got some attention this week was the beloved LoVe ship. Those who think Veronica and Logan don't have chemistry together need their heads examined. Their slow dance was so sweet compared to all their snark these days and, while I love me some snark, these moments make me swoon, seriously. If the writers can manage to keep them apart but throw in stuff like this every other episode, I would be a very happy girl.

Furonda, one of the girls from Top Model, made an appearance and did a great job, better than the other two who have appeared on the show hands down. I don't think she deserved the role (I think Mollie Sue was better during the challenge that won Furonda the part), but I must admit, the girl can act.

Check out the opening scene for next week's episode "I Am God" and don't forget: Veronica Mars moves to Tuesdays starting next week!
