TWoP recap 2.22 Leave It To Beavil p13 :
Haaron lights a cigar (which is exceedingly appropriate why? given what's about to happen), and flips on the TV to an old movie of his and approvingly notes, 'Who's that handsome fellow?' Narcissistic to the end, and I love it. And that end is pretty seriously nigh, as we pan over to show a no-nonsense-looking gun with silencer attached about a foot from Haaron's right temple. Two shots leave the gun, blood spatters all over Haaron's TV image (niiiiiiiice, and I really mean that), and we pan up to see Wiedman. He marches out....
...and now we're in "Mollymook, Australia," as Duncan is putting the finishing touches on a sandcastle and Baby Lilly watches. His phone rings, and Duncan looks slightly apprehensive (Acting! I love it!) before he answers. Duncan opens, "CW?" and Wiedman responds, "It's a done deal." Okay, I normally hate it when the writers tempt fate, but that one was pretty awesome. Wiedman hangs up, uncovers the security camera, and leaves. Duncan closes his eyes for a second before the baby pipes up, and it's another nice touch to focus in on her just after her namesake was avenged. People wondered what was in this for Wiedman, but I think the way he pursued Amelia's killer (where there wasn't anything clearly in it for him) just shows his fierce professional pride, and we already knew how loyal he's been to the Kanes. It's true that it's a bit of a surprise that Duncan was behind the hit, but given how much he loved Lilly and Veronica, and the fact that Haaron had the gall to try to pin the rap on him easily lets me buy it. One of my favorite moments of the season.
Veronica lying across Logan's lap. I'm surprised no one in the forums noticed that the way the pose is framed looks sort of like Michelangelo's Pietà . Seriously, though, it's an exquisite shot, and bookends the season nicely from when their positions were reversed in the flashback from the season premiere. mm. We slip into Veronica's dreams again. In Veronica's dream, Keith is putting on a puppet show for a toddler-aged Veronica. Keith asks whether she can smell that, and speaking of bookends, she adorably and kind of heart-wrenchingly says that she smells bacon. .....
Leave It To Beavil p3: Veronica's in bed as her alarm goes off. The picture looks kind of overexposed, but her clock reads 6:30, and that's an hour at which everything is a little too bright. Lianne enters the room with a broad smile, and tells Veronica to get up because it's her big day. Sometime later, Veronica comes into the kitchen to find a smiling Keith in his sheriff's uniform. Lianne serves Veronica pancakes and exposition that Veronica's going to San Diego State, and then Keith pulls Lianne down into his lap for a little making out. Lianne tells Veronica not to run off with "that boy" because she wants to take pictures. Well, I suppose I can hold off for a couple minutes to find out who it is, given that I waited a whole summer to find out who was at the frickin' door. Lianne snaps a picture...
...and we cut to some girl at graduation doing the same. Many of the students are in cap and gown, but Veronica is in her dress from before as she marches up to her friends and complains about having the wrong outfit. The friends in question are Logan, Duncan, and Dick. I guess one of the lessons here is that Veronica's unconscious feels that Dick shouldn't have failed physics. Veronica, understandably mispronouncing his last name, asks whether they know Wallace, and Duncan calls him an "awesome baller" and says that he works at the Sac-n-Pac. Dick takes the awesome ball and runs with it, saying Wallace got held up at work, and the robber forced him into the walk-in cooler. Duncan adds that Wallace lost three fingers to frostbite as a result. Veronica buys this hook, line, and sinker, until the boys crack up, and Logan tells her: "Sweetie, I love you, but you have to be the most gullible girl I've ever met." so why is she with Logan not Duncan I'd like to have heard some exposition on how these two end up together in this version. this sweet unhardened V is the one that fits with D not the one who shares pain and disdain with L. Anyway, Duncan tells Veronica that he sees Wallace, and then so do we. Wallace's wearing glasses, so apparently one of the effects of Veronica's friendship is curing nearsightedness. Anyway, they make some small talk, with Veronica opining that high school was a blast, and Wallace oozing "Not so much" subtext. Well, he can't have been that awesome a baller in this reality. Even the biggest geek is going to find some popularity if he's the basketball team's leading scorer.
Veronica turns her attention elsewhere and sees Lilly standing in front of her memorial fountain. Veronica doesn't seem to find anything wrong with that, which just means her learning curve after Lilly's death was even steeper than I thought. Veronica rushes up and breathlessly asks about Vassar, so hopefully this means I won't have to keep explaining how Lilly was a year older than the rest of the kids. I only got that here. were we told before? Veronica also asks about the new guy Lilly's seeing, and Lilly says that they're not together, because she hooked up with his (female) ex. Lilly then notes the inscription on the fountain, causing Veronica's face to fall mightily, and then (in possibly my favorite line of the episode as far as the delivery goes huh) is like, "Do you smell bacon?"
..... (p13) And then Veronica wakes up and runs into the Mars kitchen calling for her dad, but instead finds Logan making breakfast. Veronica's face breaks again as she fully recovers from the dream, and Logan takes her in his arms again. He repeatedly tells her he's sorry, until Keith's voice breaks in from his bedroom.
