As Dean Ed is heading out, he remembers to tell Keith that one of the other board members saw Selma talking to a waitress shortly before she disappeared. He leaves, and Keith suggests that he should go talk to the family, while Veronica can handle the waitress and the caterer. Veronica likes this plan, and finger-guns Keith -- "high road" -- then herself -- "low road. Got it." Hee. When was the last time they worked together on a MotW? It's nice.

Low road. Veronica, wearing a bandanna on her head to hide the bald spot, is asking the rather put-upon-acting caterer for the names of her waitstaff. After Veronica name-drops Dean Ed, the woman tells her that there was only one female member of her waitstaff working the night before...

...and then, Veronica's waiting outside a classroom when Fern appears. Fern greets her as "Buffy, Tiffany, whatever your name is." Veronica: "'The Female Voice In Celtic Literature.' I am woman, hear me bore." Hee. Fern, who's wearing a rather intimidating nose hoop, is slightly amused, so this isn't Veronica being over-the-top bitchy. Veronica brings up the Selma conversation, and Fern tells her she was informing Selma that she had a phone call from another woman. That's all Fern claims to know, but Veronica opines that it's strange that one of the driving forces behind the potential elimination of the Greek system is the last person who talked to the swing vote. Well, it's maybe a little ironic, sure, but unless Fern was planning on replacing Selma with a pod person, I don't know what she'd have to gain. Unless she was hoping that Selma would grow a strange sort of attachment to her kidnapper, but what kind of precedent is there for that? Fern counters that "the girl who saved the Pi Sigs" is leading the charge to find Selma. She adds that the Pi Sigs just kicked off "Sex Quest '06," which is the points-for-sex system we saw back in "The Rapes Of Graff." Which...was also in '06, but at least from a recapping standpoint, I'll admit that it seems like a lifetime ago. Fern counsels Veronica to watch what she drinks, and Veronica wonders where the hell Fern was an episode ago.
