[edit] Plot synopsis
After Keith loses the sheriff election, Veronica gets asked for help by the last person she ever thought she'd see: Abel Koontz. His daughter, Amelia deLongpre, is missing and he wants to see her before he dies, so Veronica tries to track her down. This leads to surprises and shocks as she encounters Clarence Wiedman as well. Also, Logan and his father have a conversation in jail before Keith has a talk with Aaron.
[edit] Arc significance
- Woody Goodman becomes County Supervisor (more commonly known as Mayor of Neptune - possibly a retcon), but Keith loses the sheriff election to Lamb.
- A witness turns up for Felix's murder, so Logan is arrested again.
- Amelia deLongpre was in Neptune, outside Kane Software, a week ago. Her boyfriend wanted her to get more money out of them and Clarence Wiedman complied. Veronica finds the hotel room where Amelia stayed, but it's empty. However, she finds Amelia's body in the ice machine. Clarence Wiedman shows up and they investigate together. Amelia's boyfriend starts using the (marked) money in Las Vegas, so Clarence Weidman goes there, presumably to prevent him from trying to blackmail Kane Software by silencing him...permanently.
- Keith visits Aaron and tells him that if one hair is hurt on Veronica's head, Aaron will pay for it.
- Keith breaks into the area where the bus is kept and finds a rat taped under one of the seats.
[edit] Writing and acting
- The episode guest-stars Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
