...[[DescriptionCut and a little later, at Mars Investigations, Cliff tells Wallace, after getting off the phone, he can turn himself in to the Neptune sheriff in five days]]. If he doesn't, he'll be thrown in jail. Veronica says they can also prove his innocence in that time. Cliff agrees, and leaves. Wallace is happy because if they can prove his innocence, it'll be just in time for [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS01E16BettyAndVeronica the Neptune High/Pan High basketball game]]. Veronica can't believe Wallace is thinking of a basketball game at a time like this. She looks at Rashard's schedule (which she got from a former classmate who now goes to UCLA and is a cheerleader there), and finds out he'll be at the Booster dinner. While she and Wallace won't be able to get in, Veronica guesses there'll be some girls who will be waiting outside to meet Rashard. Wallace starts to wonder if he'll be able to find those girls, and Veronica tells him, "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments No]]".

Later, at lunch, Wallace looks at an unappetizing-looking sandwich when Veronica shows up and hands him Monte's cell phone. She says Wallace can e-mail Guy's phone number to Nathan and let him do the rest. Wallace hi-fives Veronica just as Jackie walks by. Jackie thinks she deserves a hi-five as well for her help in Veronica's BatmanGambit. After a few seconds, Veronica and Wallace both grin and exchange hi-fives with Jackie. They congratulate her on being able to charm Rashard, and Jackie modestly says she's always been good at snagging guys, but [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments she needs to work on holding on to the good ones]]. After an awkward moment, Jackie starts to ask Wallace out, but just then, [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E02DriverEd Jane shows up]], and asks Wallace if they're still on for the next day after the game. Wallace says yes, and Jane leaves. Jackie and Veronica both hang their heads.

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: The title of the episode, of course, comes from the movie [[HaroldAndKumar Harold and Kumar go to White Castle]].

At Java the Hut, [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E03CheattyCheattyBangBang Lars is "singing" again]], this time Air Supply's "All Out of Love". When he finishes, Britt (Britt Daniel, real-life lead singer of Spoon), gets up to sing, thanks Veronica for the coffee she served him, and starts singing ElvisCostello's "[[ShoutOut Veronica]]". Meanwhile, Veronica has spotted Weevil sitting in the corner, and heads over. Weevil asks for her to bug the confessional at St. Mary's. Veronica is taken aback, and refuses at first, but Logan, who is sitting in the booth next to Weevil, points out he stands to gain as well. They bring up what they've learned, and Logan pleads for Veronica to save his ass without comment just for once. Veronica says she has to comment, but she reluctantly agrees to help, though she'll only agree to plant a camera.

** Weevil tells Molly Fitzpatrick if her brother Liam's a priest, "then I'm Buzz Aldrin."

The next day, Weevil, still looking bruised, is on the school bus, looking unhappy. When he gets out of the bus in the Neptune High parking lot, Dick and some other [=09er=] kids start to laugh at him, but Weevil tells them to shut up or he'll knock they're teeth out.

...[[DescriptionCut and a little later, at Club Thin]], Jackie and Rashard head inside after first going through the metal detector. Monte pulls up in a taxi. When he gets up to the metal detector, he places his watch and cell phone inside a box. The bouncer, [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E11DonutRun]], who's also the Neptune deputy Veronica had met before]], palms Monte's phone and replaces it with an exact duplicate. After giving the phone to Monte, the bouncer heads over to an alcove near the entrance, and gives Monte's phone to Veronica. She thanks him, and he invites Veronica to stay, but Veronica says she has to go to church...

That night, at the Neptune Grand, Logan is playing video game golf while Weevil tells him about the church. Logan isn't convinced the priest is involved, but Weevil points out Patrick used to be involved in the family business before he became a priest. Logan still isn't sure how they'd pass any drugs along, but Weevil implies the confessional booth would be a perfect place. A little later, Weevil slips out of Logan's hotel suite, but a Mexican janitor happens to see him leave.

Later, at lunch, Wallace looks at an unappetizing-looking sandwich when Veronica shows up and hands him Monte's cell phone. She says Wallace can e-mail Guy's phone number to Nathan and let him do the rest.

Later that day, Veronica heads into St. Mary's church. She sees Father Patrick (James Joseph O'Neill) and [[InnerMonologue muses Weevil was right about him being connected to the family business, but she's still worried she's going to hell for what she's about to do]]. Veronica goes over to the candles in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary, lights a candle, and says she's sorry for what she's about to do. She heads to the confessional booth and plants the camera. Father Patrick's voice, from the other side of the grill, startles her, but it turns out he just wants to hear her confession. Without getting specific, Veronica alludes to the fact she often looks to extract vengeance on those who have wronged her and her friends. Father Patrick says he knows the feeling, but brings up Romans 12:19-21 ("Vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord. Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him. If he thirst, give him drink. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good"), and says she should think about that. Veronica thanks him and leaves. Before leaving the church, she plants a receiver in one of the back pews.

* CallBack: The dead rat, and the bouncer at Club Thin.

Meanwhile, at the Mars Apartment, Keith is listening to the interviews, and in flashbacks, we see them. Dick mentions [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E01NormalIsTheWatchword how much the bus smelled, so he suggested the limo]]. When Lamb brings up [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E02DriverEd Curly Moran]], Dick mentions Moran used to work on his father's car, and calls him "a trip". Cassidy confirms the smell, says Dick's idea for the limo may have been his only good idea ever, and says he met Curly once, but his father never really took him to the mechanic because it was "man stuff". Just then, a visibly tired Veronica walks in.

That night, in a hotel lobby, Rashard (B.J. Britt) is walking outside with two UCLA cheerleaders. He wonders where the party is at, and they tell him it's wherever he's going. Rashard laughs at this, sees a limousine outside with a driver holding his name up, and invites the girls along with him. They pass three men as they head for the limo, and one of the men, Rashard's Uncle Monte (Sterling Macer Jr.), excuses himself and heads for the limo. Rashard and the two girls have settled in, and Veronica, who's in the front seat, tells the driver to head to the Forum Suites Hotel. She calls Wallace and tells them everything's on schedule. Just then, a truck pulls in front of the limo, blocking it. Monte catches up to the limo, opens the door, and orders the two girls to get out. Rashard starts to protest, but Monte tells him not to say a word, and the two girls leave. Once they've left, the limo starts to head towards the hotel. As Monte upbraids Rashard for not thinking, and Rashard tries to defend himself, Veronica tries calling Wallace back, but only gets his voicemail. As the limo heads into the parking garage of the hotel, Monte continues to tell Rashard how he can't afford to throw away his opportunities, and while he's allowed to enjoy his success, he should be careful. Rashard alludes to a fraternity party he's been invited to on Thursday, and Monte says he can go, as long as he's careful. The limo pulls between two parked cars. Wallace is waiting there, and Veronica tries to warn him things have changed, but Monte has rolled down one of the windows and sees Wallace. He tells Wallace to butt out, and points out he has the reporter on speed dial.

Just then, Keith calls for Veronica, and Wallace takes off. Keith tells Veronica to destroy a file from a divorce case they no longer need; Veronica is shocked the couple got back together, but complies. As she's shredding photographs, one of them catches her eye. She goes into Keith's office and shows him the photo, which shows in the background Terrence Cook and [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS02E01NormalIsTheWatchword Ms. Dumass]].

At Java the Hut, Veronica brings Wallace a slice of "German Chocolate Nut-gasm" cake, which she thinks will serve as ComfortFood. Wallace isn't sure, and Veronica brings up how hated Wallace will be [[Recap/VeronicaMarsS01E11DonutRun once he reveals star basketball player Rashard Rucker was actually the hit-and-run driver]]. Wallace tells Veronica she doesn't have to help, but she's glad to do it. Wallace sees Ernie Sayers, the reporter who had questioned him earlier, and Veronica happily sends him over to Wallace.

Wallace gets accused of being the driver in the hit-and-run accident in Chicago he told Veronica about. Veronica pulls a BatmanGambit, with unexpected help from Jackie, to nail the real culprit, Wallace's former teammate Rashard Rucker. Veronica also ends up helping Logan and Weevil in their attempt to find out who in the [=PCHers=] is working with the Fitzpatricks. By bugging the church confessional where one of the Fitzpatricks is a priest, Veronica is able to prove it's Thumper. Unfortunately for Weevil, the other [=PCHers=] know he's been working with Logan, and they don't take too kindly to that, drumming him out of the group. Not only that, but Thumper has a video of Weevil beating up Curly Moran, which he'll bring to the cops if Weevil accuses him of killing Felix. Meanwhile, Keith is able to pull some subterfuge of his own to get ahold of Lamb's interviews with the people in the limo, and theorizes the rat he found in the bus may have just been there to get certain people out of the bus. Finally, Veronica inadvertently discovers a connection between Terrence Cook and one of the survivors of the bus crash, and Cook gets called in for questioning because of that.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The picture of Terrence with Ms. Dumas, and the fact he was questioned by Lamb, will become very important later.
