Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season One Episode Twenty-One

A Trip to The Dentist

The episode opens with Keith finding Duncan in Cuba and returning home with him. Celeste balks at paying him the reward. Alicia confronts Keith about Veronica bugging Wiedman's office.
 
Veronica is investigating her rape by questioning Meg, Luke, Madison, Casey, Dick, Beaver, Carrie and ultimately Duncan about Shelley Pomeroy's party. In Rashomon fashion, the different versions of the evening contradict each other. Veronica learns that Dick tried to give his girlfriend Madison a dose of GHB. Carrie tells Veronica she saw Duncan and Veronica in bed. Duncan claims the sex was consensual, but he freaked because he knew Veronica is his sister, and couldn't stop loving her.

Veronica makes up with Logan. Aaron inadvertently outs their relationship when he throws a surprise party for Logan, and Logan and Veronica enter kissing. Madison offers Veronica a glass of punch, but Meg warns her not to drink it. Meg suspects Madison gave her "a trip to the dentist": when Madison doesn't like someone, she spits into her drink. Veronica confronts Madison,who basically tells Veronica to just deal with it.

In the Echolls pool house, Veronica realizes a video camera is positioned over the bed and calls Weevil for a ride home.

In Las Vegas, Keith finally finds a woman he's been searching for for over a year: witness who can serve as Abel Koontz' alibi.

Lianne Mars returns home.

A Trip to the Dentist is my favorite episode of the series.

I love the Veronica Mars version of Rashomon.

I love the return of characters from previous episodes.

I love the nice scene with Veronica and Wallace. Veronica turns to him after her confrontation with Duncan, and even shows him her Lilly Kane case files.

At this point during my original watch, I still didn't guess the killer. But I knew I had only one week to go.
