So I've been putting off posting on last week's episode so someone else would have a chance, and I know at least one person hasn't gotten to watch any of the recent ones, but I can't hold back any longer.
So at this point, the possible suspects for the bus crash are just increasing:
- Could be Woody. We know he called his daughter's cell around the time of the crash. There was some other evidence I can't remember. (Pretty unlikely, think this was just thrown out to confuse the audience/throw off Keith & Veronica.)
- Could be Weavil. He did just get Thumper killed. And VM figured out that he and Cervando (sp?) could have been trying to take out the limo. (This is most unlikely in my view, considering he was on his motorcycle with Veronica at pretty much the exact same time he'd have had to be making the phone call.)
- Could be SIK (Skank Impersonating Kendall, Cassie's nickname for her. awesome isn't it!!). Now that we know that a) she's really some poor white trash ho who stole a dead girl's identity; b) she was involved with the Fitzpatricks long before marrying Big Dick Casablancas; c) the life insurance policy on Dick and the Beav would net her $8 grand. (Likeliest suspect at this point?)
- Could be Big Dick based on him being the one who took out the life insurance policy and planning to use SIK in some way?
- Could be Logan's dad with the connection to the bald Curlie Moran dude. (Seems less and less likely, but then again...)
- Could be the Fitzpatricks given Gia's revelation of the drive-by-mooning winding up being them in the same car they were driving around in this episode (this could also be part of the SIK plan, them doing the SIK's bidding since it sounds like they owe her anyway).
The Kendall-turning-out-to-be-some-skanky-ho storyline kinda came out of nowhere. Yes, technically you could have said last season that Aaron and Lilly sleeping together/Aaron being the murderer did as well, but if you think about it, in that case, we already knew a) that Lilly was sleeping around, b) that Aaron was sleeping around, c) that Aaron was beating Logan, i.e., capable of beating someone else to death, d) the camera situation in that bedroom. So there was a lot of circumstantial evidence leading up to it.
Yet the Kendall situation comes triple barreled with a) insurance beneficiary, b) not even who she says she is and c) connection to the Fitzpatricks!!!!!, and no foreshadowing of any of that really. The only SIK foreshadowing was her getting Duncan's hair out of the shower and meeting Aaron at the jail. So it seems a little...farfetched that it will wind up being her. They certainly didn't give the audience as many legitimate reasons to believe in it as they did last season with the Aaron/Lilly detail.
Happening on the sidelines:
- Weevil saving the PCHers lousy asses, but STILL walking away from the gang in the end. It was so sweet that he went back and did that for them, despite their defection to Thumper.
- Mac may wind up going to prom with Butters thanks to Veronica no longer having the key to Clemmons' office. (And a minor nod to the Mac/Beav breakup, although I would still expect some further clarification on that one.)
- Wallace still pursuing the Jackie connection, her finally giving into it. What is up with this storyline. Geez. (Veronica getting her the job at Java, how forgiving.)
- As with last week, there was a little more sassy Logan/Veronica repartee, which you may recall is the whole reason I'm still watching this show anyway!!!!
New episode tonight!!
p.s. Gotta give a shout-out to the great Television Without Pity recaps. How's this for a great quote: The thought of Dick's life being worth anything to anyone other than lube manufacturers and porn distributors is an idea that's really blowing my mind here.
