History Recap / VeronicaMarsS01E12ClashOfTheTritons

Later, Duncan stops by Rebecca's office. As Veronica listens again, Duncan tells Rebecca about how Lily used to make a face that would always crack him up, and that he still thinks Lily is watching her. Rebecca isn't concerned about that - she says it just sounds like Duncan misses Lily - but is slightly alarmed when Duncan says he stopped taking his medication. He clarifies he's only stopped taking anti-deppresants. Rebecca says the medication probably stopped him from fully processing Lily's death, and Duncan mentions he doesn't really remember what happened the day Lily died. Veronica, who's wondering what kind of medication Duncan does take, is interrupted by a knock on her car door. [[TemptingFate She assumes it's Wallace]], but it's the Tritons, who pull the tarp away, open the door, and grab Veronica.

Outside the club, Veronica warns Wallace the Tritons are bad news, and he should be careful...[[DescriptionCut only to find out the club is having a karaoke night.]] Duncan is finishing up an out-of-tune rendition of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" when they arrive, and the judges give him low scores. Veronica tries to confront Duncan about the Tritons, but he speaks in nonsense verse. Veronica gets disgusted and sits down. After listening to a few more bad singers, Veronica decides it's time to leave, which is when Duncan gives her a note from "The Great Triton" that says, "You shall hear my voice once I've heard yours." Just then, the karaoke MC calls up Veronica. She's surprised, but sings an energetic version of Music/{{Blondie}}'s "One Way or Another". She exits the stage to applause and good scores from the judges, and the MC gives her a note, which tells her to meet "The Great Triton" alone in the men's bathroom. Once there, she tries to question "The Great Triton" about the fake [=IDs=], but it turns out to be a kid who Duncan paid $20 to prank Veronica.

This episode contains examples of:

* TheCastShowoff: Creator/KristenBell is a talented singer, and gets to show it off here.

* ShoutOut: Wallace claims he was like Film/{{Shaft}} when confronting the kid with the fake ID, to which Veronica replies, "Shut yo' mouth!"

Later that day, it's Logan's turn at Rebecca's office, and once again, we see Veronica listening in from her car. Logan mentions though he and Logan were off and on, the week she died would have been their second anniversary if they hadn't currently been off. When Rebecca asks why they were off, Logan tells her about a party Lily didn't go to because she was pissed at Logan for something - he can't remember what - Logan got drunk, kissed another girl, and Veronica saw it happen. When Rebecca asks if he blames Veronica, Logan emotionally confesses he blames Veronica, himself for being stupid, and Lily for being a bitch. Veronica looks stunned.

At her apartment that night, Veronica is reading about Triton when Wallace stops by, telling her no one knew anything about fake [=IDs=], but someone tried to buy a six pack of beer at Sack-and-Pack earlier. When Wallace confronted the person, he found out there's a mystery locker in school where you can drop $250 and your name in an envelope, and that afternoon, you'll receive a fake ID in your own locker. When Veronica asks Wallace to put $250 in the mystery locker to see if it works, Wallace responds, "[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Hell no. I'm using your money.]]", which makes Veronica laugh.

At Veronica's apartment that night, Wallace comes by and shows her the fake ID, which is so poorly made that [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Veronica claims, "Now I'm not just falsely accused, I'm genuinely offended.'']] She tells Wallace the tracker indicates Duncan is at a club, and asks Wallace if she wants to come along.

Outside Clemmons' office, Aaron angrily confronts Lily for being the one to feed the tabloids the information, and Lily snaps she just wanted to hurt Aaron like he hurt her. Aaron threatens to cut Lily off completely, and Logan snaps, "[[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer Dad, you say another word to her and I will kill you.]]" Lily says she can't take anymore, and leaves, with Aaron following. Lynn gets into her car, swallows some pills, and drives off.

Later, Weevil stops by Rebecca's office. He claims not to remember the week Lily was killed, and he claims he was more upset by the fact a little girl from his neighborhood went missing and was killed around the same time, and no one cared about that. As Rebecca tries to assure him that people did care, we see Veronica is in her car, hidden underneath a blue tarp, and is listening in. Rebecca reads a letter Weevil wrote to Lily about how Lily broke his heart by leaving him. She also says Lily wanted to be transferred out of PE because of Weevil, and Weevil responds he would never have hurt Lily. When Rebecca asks why he wrote the letter, Weevil tearfully admits how hurt he was when Lily left him to go back to Logan after swearing she wouldn't, and that he, Weevil, could have loved Lily. Veronica is stunned by this, and wonders if this was the "secret" Lily was keeping from her.

The next day, Logan is driving into school when he hears a call-in radio show talking about Aaron being stabbed at his Christmas party, as well as the infidelities that exposed. Once inside school, Logan discovers a number of tabloid articles and pictures about the incident taped to his locker, and Hector, one of the [=PCHers=], makes a remark about Lynn. Logan responds by getting into a fight with Hector until the gym teacher breaks it up.

On a bridge, Lynn's car has been abandoned, and a helicopter radio reports it.

Later, Duncan stops by Rebecca's office.

At Mars Investigations, Veronica greets Cliff, but is momentarily flummoxed when she sees Keith, who had been chasing a bail jumper. She tells Keith she was framed, but he and Cliff both tell her Tim's parents are suing everybody, including them.

Cliff comes by the sheriff's station to tell Veronica he posted her bail. He also tells her the [=IDs=] in her purse are small potatoes, but the ones in the locker mean intent to distribute, which means jail time. He also mentions Veronica's court date is the following Tuesday, and he points out Rick to her, since he's also at the sheriff's. Veronica corners Rick and asks him why he fingered her; he stammers and claims "they" made him do it, and he can't talk about it. Veronica says she'll see him after school the next day.
