TWoP recaplet VM 3.9 Spit And Eggs: Logan and Veronica finally have the scene that was in the the previews, like, eighteen episodes ago, and Logan doesn't drag it out, as he emotionally breaks up with her, although he tells her that he'll always be there for her. It bears a lot of analysis, but you'll forgive me for saving it for the recap.
yay this airs as repeat tomorrow (Tues 8pm).
no Cubs game to bump it, since this week is the All Stars game and that's being covered on Fox (so no House, which is okay).
I am interested to see this.

Logan -- after gathering his courage and composure -- tells Veronica that he doesn't think he measures up to the person she wants him to be, and that he can't take feeling like a disappointment anymore.
Veronica tries to tell him that she doesn't mean for him to feel that way, but Logan says that she basically said she won't let people help her, and he's not built to stand on the sidelines.
Veronica, starting to get the idea that she's not going to sway him, nods in shock as Logan says, "I think we have a choice. I think we can take a tough but survivable amount of pain now, or stay together and deal with unbearable pain later."
Veronica bites her lip as Logan tells her he votes for the pain now, but that he's always there if she needs him. He kisses her on her stunned forehead, but then, seemingly taking her speechlessness for lack of affect, chokes out, "But you never need anything." He leaves, and it's nice of him to take the opposite tack as the promo department by making that short and sweet. Seriously, though, that was so...mature. Realizing that you can't change the person with whom you're in love is a hard, hard thing to do. But while he obviously feels incredibly hurt, Logan's doing his best not to blame Veronica, and that's even tougher. Of course, for those of you who miss the old Obligatory Psychotic Jackass, he's not dead yet, as a certain squad car in an awful lot of pain will soon attest.
