I'm the male version of Veronica Mars because I like helping people out

I do not like Jackie at all. After last night's episode, she's up to no good. Was she at the dance drunk or high or both? I don't think Wallace should have left with his "dad." It seems like there's more clues to the bus accident. Apparently, an explosion happened before it went off the cliff. I wonder who did it?

I realize I'm over two months late, but I just watched this episode and thought it was pretty strong. It was a pivotal episode, what with Wallace and the family issues, Veronica's dad and Wallace's mom hitting a bump in their relationship, Logan and Duncan back on friendly terms. Plus it wasn't a good episode for Veronica in terms of being embarassed on tv and Wallace asking her where's his shoulder to lean on, telling her it's not always all about her. I liked this one a lot.

I don't like Jackie either, didn't from the start, but I guess that's what they were going for with the character all along. I think she was probably high since they showed her with the pill bottle after Wallace said he wasn't going to the dance with her. Of course, I've only watched the first five season 2 episodes so far, so this issue may already be resolved by now. I'll watch the next episode tomorrow and will be caught up by the time the next new episode airs.
