An Echolls Family Christmas: This may be the episode I've watched most often; after all it's part of my Christmas viewing. I'm not alone in enjoying it; take a look at this survey on TWoP.
The story opens with Logan hosting a poker party with Duncan, another 09er Sean, Conner, Logan's father's co-star with in what Logan calls a $50 million crap pile, and Weevil, leader of the PCH motorcycle gang.
Weevil wins $5,000 but the money is missing. Veronica gets involved because Weevil took security from the other players, including Duncan's laptop (which heavily featured Veronica in an online journal.)
In the other weekly mystery, Lynn Echolls (Logan's mother) hires Keith to investigate threatening letters sent to Aaron.
Both stories come to a climax at the Echoll's Christmas party. Veronica requests a buy-in to another poker game that night to reveal the thief, as Keith tries to prevent an attack on Aaron.
This episode has no great revelations about Lilly's murder. But we learn more about dysfunctions in the Kane and Echolls families.When Veronica confronts Jake Kane about surveillance pictures of her as a target, he seems confused. Then he asks his wife, "What did you do?" A few minutes later, Aaron is attacked by a spurned lover.
Last line of the episode, "No Veronica, there is no Santa Claus."
