[edit] Plot synopsis
Veronica finally investigates what happened to her the night of Shelly Pomroy's party where she was drugged and date-raped and what she finds out is shocking. It's even more shocking when she arrives home to find that her mother is back.
[edit] Arc significance
- Logan and Luke got GHB (also known as "Liquid X") from Mexico and brought it to Shelly Pomroy's party. Luke lent some to Dick who wanted to use it on his girlfriend Madison Sinclair. He drugged her drink, but she, seeing Veronica, spit in it and surreptitiously handed it to her (the "trip to the dentist" of the title). Veronica got drugged from the drink, and Dick brought her upstairs so Beaver could take advantage of her in her unconscious state. Logan decided to create a salt lick when Veronica passed out, but Duncan stopped them. However, his drink had been drugged with GHB by Logan to loosen him up and Veronica and Duncan ended up having sex while in their drugged state.
- Duncan left Veronica alone the next morning because his mother, Celeste, had told him she was his sister.
- Keith goes to Las Vegas to talk to a prostitute who was with Abel Koontz at the time of Lilly's murder.
- Veronica finds out that there is a video camera in the pool house where she was making out with Logan.
- Everyone discovered that Logan and Veronica are going out.

- Luke: You didn't say that.
- Veronica: It was implied.
- Veronica: You wrote "slut" on my car last year at Shelly's party. Why?
- Madison: Because "whore" had too many letters.
- Veronica: So Shelly Pomroy and I were thinking of getting together later for a little girl-on-girl, you wanna come with? Wow. You know, when you're about to soil yourself, you get a little twitch right in your eye.
- Veronica: Its kinda a bad time.
- Logan: Okay, so I should come back when, never? Would that work for you?
- Logan: We were just going to have some fun.
- Veronica: Fun, like sex with unconscious people fun?
- Veronica: [voiceover] As a rule people who don't like you most likely won't help you. There were 100 people at Shelly's party. 98 of them would walk over my corpse for a piece of free gum.
- Dick: Perfect piece of ass, ready and willing.
- Beaver: She's not willing, Dick, she's unconscious.
