Bullet points:

1. I didn't think it was possible for me to love Wallace more than I did before, but after that episode it seems I do. He's become a really interesting character now that he's moved out from under Veronica's shadow a little bit. He really is sort of the moral anchor for the show, and not in a saccharine and impossible to watch kind of way, either. His line to Jackie—"You don't know what she's been through" was just perfect. Because Wallace knows, and he's not dancing around it anymore. He's still got her back, but he's not going to let her walk all over him, and I appreciate that more than I thought I ever would.

2. Duncan and Logan are such boys.

3. What was up with the psychic lady? Seriously. Jackie said she didn't tell her to say the stuff about Lilly? So...Lilly really is going around haunting Veronica still? Um. (As a side note, that thing about Jackie being the only person alive who knew about Veronica's little breast-enhancing secret? How long exactly do you think Lilly mocked Veronica mercilessly for that one? Heh.)

4. Did anyone else think Logan seemed a little off in this episode? Like, the writers didn't know what to do with him, so they went with an old standby and just had him randomly make fun of Veronica, even if she wasn't around to hear it?

5. So, Jackie's officially this season's Logan, huh? Also? Did anyone not see the "twist" to that MotW coming a mile and a half away?

6. The Logan/Duncan reconciliation is just one more reason I think Duncan would be an interesting character to watch if someone else was playing him. Duncan finally gets up the nerve to go talk to Logan and ask if he just wants to hang out—-something Logan was waiting around for all summer-—but he doesn't do it until he realizes that for Logan, their rift wasn't all about Veronica, even if it was for Duncan. None of that comes across when I'm watching TD's performance. Although, who says to their sort of ex-best friend "Hey, come over and we'll play video games together and then watch our girlfriend go on some psychic's TV show!" Seriously? What was that about?

7. I really really really miss the Veronica who hated attending school functions. Like, really a lot.

8. No new episode next week is STUPID. Also, Wallace probably won't be in the next episode, will he? Not cool. Though, maybe Wallace calling Veronica on her crap and taking off will be the catalyst to shake her out of her stupor? Please? Something's gotta do it soon, right?

I didn't mind Lilly's ghost saving Veronica from the bus so much, because that could still be Veronica hallucinating Lilly--almost like Lilly was Veronica's gut instinct or something. But actually communicating from the dead? Nuh uh. I'm assuming (and really hoping) that someone is trying to mess with Veronica's head somehow. Or maybe even Logan's. I dunno.

I'm glad you thought Logan wasn't really there, either. Because he seemed really off, and I can't quite put my finger on what it was about him. Maybe it was just because he just didn't have much to do. I wish we'd gotten a little more out of the reconcilation scenes.

And ohhhh, I hope we get our Veronica back soon. I'm officially tired of this version.
