Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season One Episode Seven

The Girl Next Door: The mystery of the week involves the disappearance of Veronica’s upstairs neighbor. Veronica finds her but later questions if she should have gotten involved and wonders if some things are better left buried.

Veronica’s journalism class project has her helping an alum plan a high school reunion. Looking through an old yearbook, Veronica learns that her mother and Duncan’s father were high school sweethearts.

The best part of the episode is the interaction between Logan and Weevil, stuck in detention together.  Weevil gets blamed for his and Logan’s revenge (putting their English teacher’s car on the school flagpole.) Weevil is expelled.  Logan is able to work a deal with the Vice Principal, confesses his part and gets Weevil reinstated at Neptune High.  All because Weevil had promised his grandmother that he would graduate from high school.  Hmm, just when I thought Logan was pure evil again.
I don’t get Veronica questioning herself about helping her neighbor. Yes, a man is now dead, but he’s a rapist and none of Veronica’s actions led to his downfall.

Is Veronica thinking about something else completely?
