[edit] Plot

When someone steals Neptune High's mascot, Polly the Parrot, Veronica goes undercover at rival school Pan High as "Betty." In retaliation, Wallace and the Neptune HIgh basketball team steal the Pan High goat. When a video surfaces over the Neptune High news channel showing Polly's kidnapper demanding that Wallace, the best player, not play at that night's game, Veronica is able to deduce who it is: a Neptune High player who has bet heavily against his own school. Veronica also checks her mother into rehab, but not before getting a lot of information.

[edit] Arc significance

  • Lianne doesn't know who Veronica's father is — it could be Jake or Keith.
  • Lianne says that she was with Jake at the time of Lilly's murder, but that Celeste barged in. However, Celeste was only there for twenty minutes.
  • Veronica gets the interrogation tapes of Jake and Celeste. They both claim they were at a hotel for two and a half hours, but their stories conflict.
  • Veronica finds that Clarence Wiedman bugged her room, so she bugs his office and gets him to reveal that Abel Koontz has a daughter, Amelia DeLongpre.
