I don't really understand Veronica's reaction to Logan's sleeping with Madison, and it seems so out of character that it's "haunting" her the way it is. Also, Veronica implying that Madison got her raped? Not cool, not to mention a bizarre twist of the facts. The whole thing feels so contrived. Madison's a nasty, nasty person, but I still think that this utter hatred on Veronica's part is coming out of nowhere. The only thing I can think is that she's focusing the anger she should be feeling towards Logan on Madison instead, which seems to be pretty common practice for scorned ex-girlfriends.
I don't know if I can even summarize the episode without coloring it with my opinions, but, basically:
The MOTW focused on Bonnie, i.e. Tim Foyle's girlfriend who's been cheating on him with Dick and various other frat boys. She found out that she was pregnant and was really excited about it, but someone slipped her the morning-after pill to cause a miscarriage. Veronica sets out to investigate who did it... Dick or Tim, potential fathers?, her televangelist father or one of his associates?, Phyllis, the roommate and best friend? Veronica thinks it's Tim and gets into his office to check him out, coincidentally finding out that he's also investigating Dean O'Dell's murder, and she talks to one of his witnesses that she and Keith hadn't known about, finding out not much other than the time the witness heard the gunshot. Meanwhile, Keith's at work on the O'Dell case, and Mrs. O'Dell asks him to come over because someone has broken into her house, and he's closer and more competent than the police. The burgler is Mindy's ex-husband, the one that she and Cyrus kidnapped to get the bone marrow that their youngest son needed. We also see their troubled teenaged son, and Mindy mentions that they considered sending him to reform school. Keith also notices that there's eggshell under the windshield wipers of her car.
On the Bonnie mystery, there's a lot of running around. Veronica poses as a troubled pregnant teen to talk to Bonnie's father and goes to the Women's Clinic to find out who could've given Bonnie the pill. Someone from a religious organization follows her and puts pictures of her at the clinic along with spiritual brochures in her mailbox. Cue ensuing, "Is there something that you'd like to tell me?" Keith and Veronica conversation. He ends up helping her find out who took the pictures. In the end, Veronica decides that Tim did it, since she saw a bookmark from the clinic stalkers in a book that the roommate, Phyllis, told her that Tim had gotten for Bonnie. Bonnie corrects her and says that Phyllis actually gave her the book, and it's revealed that Phyllis did indeed do it, since "neither of the guys deserved to be the father of Bonnie's baby." I have to say, I'm
really bad at guessing whodunnit, but I pegged Phyllis as the guilty one from the start.
Also, Veronica's mad at Logan, and really, really hates Madison. She has recurrent dreams of them sleeping together, and when she confronts Logan about it and he admits he lied, she leaves and tells him she's never getting over it. She finds Weevil and asks him to steal Madison's new car and have it crushed. He agrees, but when Bonnie's father lectures his daughter on the importance of forgiveness after it's revealed that her best friend is the one who terminated her pregnancy, Veronica hears it and has a change of heart about the car crushing. She asks Weevil to return the car, although maybe to leave a can of tuna in her air vent.
