* DidntThinkThisThrough: Veronica Nash tells the detectives that Lucy's nanny slapped her for misbehaving at a museum. It apparently didn't occur to her that the detectives would speak to the museum's employees to corroborate her story. Veronica was subsequently arrested because the tour guide revealed that ''Veronica'' slapped Lucy for something that the museum didn't even consider a problem.
