Silence of the Lamb
She and dad talk about the E-String Strangler.
He barely let's her leave until Weevil knocks on the door.
At lunch, she and Wallace talk about it as well.
"My mom is scared to even walk to her car. Told her it was it was a good thing not to be the guy's type."
"My dad barely let me out of the house. Luckily Eli showed up. I think this is the one time is is thankful that I am dating the leader of PCHers. He knows I always have a bodyguard one way or another."
"How's that going?"
She is about to answer when and 09er comes up and asks her to look into his parents.
They sit down at a table.
"I need leverage. They grounded me for smoking in my own room."
"You've never spent any time in a black woman's house. Be lucky you're still walking." Wallace tells him.
She's agrees.
She's working at her dad's office, covering the phone. Eli is sitting on the couch playing solitaire.
When Sheriff Lamb walks in with the mayor.
"Veronica Mars and Weevil Navarro. You dad in?"
"Lamb." Eli says glaring at him.
"Dad, Deputy Lamb is here with the mayor."
"Send them in."
The two of them brush past her.
She closes the door and sits back at the desk.
"Staring at it isn't going to make it open any faster." Eli says coming to sit on the desk.
She about to say something when the door opens. The mayor shakes his hand and tells him that they will see him tomorrow.
Waiting until they are out the door.
"What's tomorrow?"
"The day I go back to the sheriff's department." he tells them.
"You are going back to work."
"Only temporary, they are going to be paying me my regular salary."
"What Lamb agreed to this without his head exploding?" Eli asks.
"He didn't have much of a choice."
Maybe this will give me a chance to check the anonymous tip that got Koontz arrested.
She gives the 09er the dirt on his parents and barely is able to sit down with Felix and Thumper, since Eli is stuck in class, when another 09er hires her.
Cuddling with Eli on the couch at her dad's office after a light make out session.
They are being careful how far they go.
"Think he'll ever be truly okay with us. I mean we have to hang out here instead of you house."
"Hmmm, finding you asleep on the couch didn't help. I think it's more about the fact that the office has an alarm and the apartment doesn't."
"Abuela wants you to come over for supper tonight. She's worried you not eating enough." he says as he plays with his necklace around her neck.
"Okay..." whatever else she was about to say is boken off when Mac enters the office.
"Sorry." Mac says covering her eyes while the untangle themselves.
"It's okay Mac. What 's up?"
"I have an idea I want to run by you." she says.
"I'll be right back." Eli says giving her a quick kiss and leaving her to talk with Mac.
mac shows her a website, called Get the Dirt and tells her its a way to double the fee.
She's unsure but tells her that she will think about it.
"Something else?" she asks when she notices that Mac seems to be debating something.
"You think you could look into my parents.. I can pay."
"Save you money." she tells he and gets her parents information.
Nothing is strange until she sees that they won a lawsuit agaisnt Neptune Hospital.
"Want me to look into this?"
"Please."
She and Eli look though old newpapers and she is floored when she finds the article about a baby swap.
"Oh god..."
"Fuck." he says looking over her shoulder.
Eli and Felix wait by thee bikes while she goes to talk to Mac at her house.
Mac has her come in and the go to her room.
"You might want to sit down."
"It's bad right."
"Life changing. I can tell you or you can have me stop now. I choose option two."
"Tell me. I'm adopted aren't I."
"Yes and no."
"What's that mean?"
"They aren't your biological parents. You wee sent home form the hospital with the wrong family."
"Oh."
"There's more."
"More."
"Another baby girl, born a day after you, was sent home with your parents."
"Another girl born after me..I was switched with Madison Sinclair."
She leaves her the file so that she can look at it after she processes the information.
Bringing supper for her dad, she meets the new officer.
He tries to flirt with her until he notices Eli, in full Weevil mode, glaring at him.
Mac convinces Veronica to cash Madison's birthday party. They make Wallace come with them.
Mac looks around the house, when Veronica get sidelined by an 09er looking to hire her, and finds out that she has a younger sister.
When Madison finds them it's Veronica that is able to get he out of there before she blows.
She brings a pizza to the new officer, Leo.
The are eating when Felix comes in and distracts Leo while she steals the keys to the evidence room.
She grabs the CD that has the anonymous tip on it.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay."
"So where's the boyfriend tonight?"
"Having a boy night. No girls allowed."
"You know I was waned about the two of you."
"Really?" I have a great idea who warned you.
"Yeah, so I am going to ignore them and invite the two of you to come see my band."
"I'll let you know."
Eli takes her back to his place and the two of them listen to the CD in his room.
She stating to get disappointed when they hear a synthesized voice.
"Someone went out of their way to make sue they weren't recognized."
"Yeah. Let's find out who that was."
She gives him a kiss goodbye and goes home.
With one of the boys following her.
She calls Mac about the synthesized voice, Mac tells he that she'll look into it.
She's unable to say anything that can help ease Mac's anger about the switch.
Mac goes to Madison Sinclair's house under the guise of looking for her purse and is able to meet he birth mother.
Eli is standing behind V, arms wrapped around her waist while the listen to the cop's band.
When he dad bursts in gun drawn.
"Dad everyone. Everyone dad." she says.
"What's going one?" he and Leo ask.
"There's a new girl missing. The killer is still on the loose. He might be a guy that doesn't like me but he does like you."
He gets out his phone and sends a text to his boys to meet him at V's place. If this guy wants he, he is going to have to go though all of the PHers.
"You do this yourself." he dad asks Leo.
"Yeah, we got a lot of noise complaints."
"Follow her home and stay with her until I come home." he tells Weevil.
"Of course."
He motions for Leo to follow him.
Wish he had sent some of his boys with my dad.
Mac calls her while they are waiting for he dad to come home.
"I decoded the message. You want to come over in the moning to hear it."
"Sue what time?"
"Early, I'm going camping."
She hangs up as he dad walks in.
"We got him." he says wrapping his arms around her.
"Eli thank you for staying with her."
"No problem, Sheriff."
"I'm not sheriff anymore, Eli."
"Always will be to me."
He shakes his hand on his way out.
"Eli, why don't you come over for supper this weekend."
"I will. Thank you, sir." YES!
She goes over to see Mac and she plays her the sound file at different speeds until she knows exactly who it is.
Mac is helping her parents load up the RV when she sees her biological mom waiting in the car across the street. She puts her hand on the window and touches her mom's hand before her mom drives away.
She takes photos of Clarence Wiedman, the man that caused he mother to run and called in the anonymous tip, of him and his family and sends them to him.
Let's see how you like it.
