Leave it to Beaver
She and her mom are making supper when her dad gets home.
Eli is watching both of them with a smile on his mouth.
Her mom asks either one of them put on some music.
When her dad picks the wrong music to go with tacos, V starts in on mood music.
Her mom takes a sip of her water once the right music has been found and Eli narrows his eyes.
Do I tell her what I suspect or let her have this.
Looking at his girl so happy, he keeps his mouth shut.
An article about Koontz's innocence and her dad refusing to give up on Lilly's murder is in the newspaper the next day.
She and Wallace read it as they walk.
"You think it might be gross to read a love letter to your dad but I kinda enjoy it."
They split to go to their classrooms and smiles knowing that she is finally making headway in Lilly's death.
Keith ends his relationship with Wallace's mother Alicia Fennel (Erica Gimpel) to give Lianne a second chance.
Seeing Alicia leave the office in tears, she knows what just happened.
"I'm sorry dad I know how much you care about her."
"Things have changed, she understands that. She just doesn't like it."
He pulls her into a hug and she hates that her dad had to hurt Wallace's mom.
She working on at a computer when Dick's brother Cassidy comes into the room.
"Veronica, I need to tell you something."
"Shoot." she says turning to look at him.
"You know how when Lilly was killed Dick, Logan and I were in Mexico surfing."
"I know this."
That's not completely true. Logan, he..got all worked up that he knew that Lilly was seeing someone new."
"Okay." she stands feeling a little uneasy.
"So he got up early that morning, the day she was killed and drove back to Neptune to see her."
This is the moment everything comes crashing down.
She rushes to the office and tells her dad about everything that Cassidy told her.
That he left early and that he had bought her a shot glass with some funny phrase on it that she knows Lilly would have loved.
Something clicks in for her dad and they find that the shot glass was in Lilly's car.
"You know what this means."
"Means that Logan found Lilly."
She bumps into Logan at school the next day, she debates ignoring him but with nowhere to hide she goes to talk to him.
He mentions about with the article and knowing about Duncan's medical history that maybe it was Duncan, that was the only thing that makes sense to him.
He walks away and she pulls out her phone to call her dad.
"Hey dad, I bumped into Logan. He's trying to put all the blame on Duncan."
"Veronica..."
"I know. You find anything out from border patrol?"
"Yeah Logan's car crossed the border at 8:57am."
"He had plenty of time to get back to Neptune and kill her. See you later."
"Querida." Eli says coming out of the empty classroom behind her.
"That's not what it sounding like."
"Really, it sounded a lot like Logan killed Lilly, these rich boys think they can get away with anything don't they."
"I wanted to tell you but.."
'I know querida." he kisses her on the forehead and walks away
She walks into the office, she wants to call Eli but knows that he is upset with her. She finds her dad sitting on the couch staring at some papers.
"Met with Celeste today." he says as she sits down.
"She's paying you double and sponsoring our club membership."
"She agreed to pay out but only if you sign this contract that you'll never sue them again, she wants you to waive any claim on the Kane fortune."
Grabbing the pen she signs without a second thought.
"What..was I suppose to pay in blood." she asks when her dad just stares at her.
'Do you know what you signed away?" he asks his eyes starting to water.
"There is nothing that I want from them."
"Nothing.."he cries..."You didn't sign away a thing. I am without a doubt you father." he says showing her the DNA test results.
She hugs him with tears in her eyes. They hold each laughing and crying.
"We should put a dent in that...' she starts.
"Honey with this new information on Logan we can go to the authorities." he tells her.
"Okay." she whispers.
Slowly start o get him back as a friend only to lose him again.
V is going to be so pissed at me but I refuse to let him get away with this.
He watches Logan come out of the school, making sure that no one is watching he starts following him.
He slips the lead pipe out of his jacket and is about to raise it up to knock him out when two deputies show up.
Quickly hiding the pipe, he walks away.
Logan finds her on the beach when she is walking Backup.
"You couldn't ask me about it."
"Logan..."
"You really think I could hurt her." he cries. "You know, I knew she was seeing someone else, it was driving me crazy. When I left for Neptune I didn't know if I was going to scream at her for treating me like crap or beg her to take me back. I saw her at the car wash."
"I didn't see you."
"I parked across the street and watched her. As i watched some clarity came to me or something and somehow I knew it was over. So I wrote her this note."
"Did you give it to her?"
"I left it in her car."
"With the shot glass."
'Yeah, with the shot glass. If you read that note you would know that I wouldn't hurt her."
Seeing Felix show up, he walks off crying.
"You okay, Blondie?" he asks coming up to her.
"Not really." he wraps his arm over her shoulder and walks back to her car with her and Backup.
She figures out that Logan's break up letter was never found and knows that if Lilly found it she would have hidden it.
In her air vent.
Now what to where to meet the Governor.
Dressed in waiter clothes, she starts to head out to sneak into the Kane house to check the vent.
Thirsty, she grabs her mom's water out of the fridge to drink and spits it out the instant she tastes the vodka.
With tears in her eyes, she calls the rehab center that she brought her mom to.
After sneaking onto the estate, she gets into Lilly's room.
She's on the desk trying to open the vent when Duncan comes in.
After arguing for a couple minutes, she lets him know that she doesn't think he did it.
That there is a possibility that it was Logan.
They check the vent and all they find are several videotapes.
She follows Duncan to his room since he has something that will play them.
The first one shows Lilly in Logan's pool house in her pep squad uniform. It cuts out when Lilly finds the camera.
"Play the other one." she tells him.
Duncan starts the next one which has Lilly having sex with Logan's father, Aaron.
which show Lilly having an affair with Logan's father, Aaron Echolls.
Both of them fall back to sit on the bed.
Lilly found the tapes and refused to return them, which angered Aaron and he killed her. Duncan arrived home to find Lilly dead and had an epileptic fit, at which time Jake and Celeste returned home. They must have thought that he had done it, which is why the covered it up.
"I know what happened." she whispered.
"Could he really do it." Duncan stutters.
"He's psychotic. I watched him beat a guy to a bloody mess than ask Logan how his school day was. He beats Logan you know."
"He's here."
"I have to get these to my dad. Watch him and let me know the instant he leaves."
"Be careful." he says as she grabs the tapes and heads for the door.
"You know, my dad had a test done. I'm not your sister. Just thought you deserved to know that."
She calls her dad on her way out and lets him know what is going on and that she will be right home.
Reaching her car she calls Eli.
I know him, he's out for blood and needs to know that he has the wrong guy.
Finding Echolls on the bridge drunk is like a perfect gift.
"Seriously what do you think you can do to me? he asks from the rail on the bridge.
"I'll think of something."
He gets off his bike when his phone stats ringing V's ring tone.
"Not a good time, querida." glaring at Logan putting her on speaker phone.
"It's not Logan, right family wrong Echolls." Logan seems confused. Say what know, wrong Echolls?
"What?"
"I found proof that Lilly was sleeping with his dad. Seems the jerk was video taping them. Lilly found the tapes and Aaron must have confronted her."
"Are u sure?" everyone of his boys seemed unsure what to do and he didn't blame them.
"I watched the tapes, Eli...You know how Lilly was and how Aaron is, do you honestly think he would have been able to control himself if she stated in on him. I am leaving the Kane house now to get these tapes to my dad. Aaron is here, Duncan is going to keep a eye on him. If you know where Logan is, can you let him know that I'm sorry for this? His world is about to come crashing down."
"Don't worry, we'll find him." he said glaring at Logan, who came off the railing to stand stoic like on the road. "Get home. I'll meet you there."
He hangs up and looks at the others.
"Fuck...get him home and sober his ass up."he motions to Felix and Hector.
"Thumper, you come with me."
"Weevil.." Felix starts.
"It wasn't him..it was his dad." is all he says as he gets back on his back and drives off, not caring if Thumper is following him or not.
Fuck heading to her house. I am going to make sure she gets there.
While driving home, she discovers Aaron in the back seat of her car and crashes into a power pole.
Although both are knocked unconscious, she wakes up first and throws the tapes onto the roof of the house.
Trying to get the owner's attention she is knocked out by Aaron.
Waking up in a closed space, Aaron stats demanding for his tapes over the walkie talkie.
She can smell gas as he keeps asking for the tapes.
"You know Lilly wouldn't give me the tapes either and you know how that ended for her."
Scared out of her mind, she tells him they are on the roof and starts to beg to be let out.
She hears he dad and calls out to him.
She can hear struggling and suddenly she can feel the heat of the fire.
Her dad gets her out but is burned in the process.
While putting the fire out she hears bikes and has never been so happy to hear it.
Seeing Aaron on the ground, Thumper runs over and moves the driver of the car that must have hit him away.
"Eli..." V whimpers coming up to him. She is covered in soot and bruises.
"Querida..." he doesn't stop Thumper from kicking the prone Aaron.
"Call 911..my dad." she croaks out.
"Thumper." he calls.
"Done." he already has his phone out and is dialing.
He and V watch as her dad is loaded into an ambulance. They can hear Aaron being read his rights.
They watch as Duncan and Jake show up as Aaron lays there.
Jake stats screaming that Aaron fry for his actions and is arrested by Lamb.
At the hospital, the doctor tells them that her dad will be okay.
"When?" she whispers.
"Eventually, just be patient. You should go home and get some rest."
"I don't want him to wake up alone."
And there is no way I am letting you out of my sight.
"Do you have someone we can call?"
She looks at him and he gives the doctor the number to Wallace's mom.
They go to her house and after telling her mom that she is okay and her dad is in the hospital, she tells her mother to leave before dad comes home.
"Veronica.."
'I know mom, I know you are not done drinking. You didn't even finish rehab. You checked yourself out. That was my college money. I bet on you and I lost."
"Veronica.." her mom tries to reach for her and she moves a way from her into his embrace.
'V, go take a shower, querida.." he places a soft kiss on her head before she brushes past her mom and heads into her bedroom.
He waits until she shuts the bathroom door before turning to her mom.
"You are going to back a bag and get out. I have no love for you and have no problem calling my grandmother to come kick your ass if you don't leave now."
He watches as she packs her bag.
He turns his back for a moment and she tries to grab the check out of Keith's bag.
he notices he try to gab the check out of keith's bag and gabs her wist
"Don't even think it.' he says grabbing her wrist and pulling her to the door.
She wakes up after dreaming about saying goodbye to Lilly and Eli wraps his arms around her and rubs her back. She cuddles with him content that things are finally getting better.
