* Lots of exposed torsos in this episode, from both the men (particularly the card-players) and the women (Aaron Echols knows how to pick 'em).

* The Texas Hold'em game at the beginning of the episode actually has a realistic push-in situation, where Logan only has ace-ten, while Weevil has and ace and a two, which is paired on the board. He's already got the hand won, and Logan points out his eight outs. It's pretty good stuff. Weevil wins the hand undramatically, getting a third 2. Then, Logan's friends start laughing that Logan lost to a 'pair of twos,' which is just straight-up annoying. That's clearly three-of-a-kind. Why would you go through things so meticulously to give us this comment as an ending?!

* Veronica is compelled to help the situation by means of a threat that Duncan's journal will be exposed. I enjoyed that bit of silliness.

* Keith's storyline is almost 100% independent of Veronica's this episode, other than physically intersecting toward the end at the Echols' holiday party. That feels like a first, and honestly, I appreciated the diversion.

* "Annoy, tiny blonde one... annoy like the wind."

* Really liked Duncan calling Logan out this episode. They make up, but Duncan's not wrong.
