Jake Kane seemed dangerously sympathetic in the episode with Lilly's funeral. And now that we're not blinded by Veronica and Duncan's POV, he actually seems pretty fucking great this episode. In the Duncan-is-off-his-meds ep, Jake seems like he only cares about the trappings of success for his son. But Jake isn't just interested in perpetuating wealth here; he really does seem concerned about Duncan's happiness. Also, it's wonderful to see him make Duncan smile, after Duncan mentions that he might be happiest being a driftwood carver: 'Be the best driftwood carver you can be. After you've graduated from Stanford... law school... summa cum laude. See? You're smiling already.' And he smiles about Duncan's positive message, too.

Speaking of Duncan's positive message - where does that come from? As far as I can tell, the clearest origin is Veronica's verbal kick in the pants: Duncan, she claims, is passively evil. Which is awful. And possibly true. This appears to be what spurs Duncan to wake up and use his influence for good.

Finally, about damn time that Veronica confronts her dad with some communication regarding the Lilly Kane case. Sadly, Keith isn't wrong that solving it won't fix everything. I can't credit the show too much, though - this is only fixing a very obvious wrong from before. Still: 'I don't want things to be like this between us anymore.'

* Pirate Points not extending to the school newspaper seems mindnumbingly stupid and villainous for the sake of villany. Good on Duncan, though.

* Nice acting from Logan re: his father - a combination of worship, terror, and disgust.

* Veronica stopping by after the fact to trash talk cheerleader girl is a perfect example of the bad side of the high school stuff this episode.

* Veronica nad Pop talking like film noir characters is adorable. As is his desire to take her to the zoo.

* We get shoes as a cliffhanger. Though the clue looks... a little too obvious. Whatever, let's not nitpick for now.
