In the food court, Veronica is telling Wallace about the Easter egg and the numbers therein. (Wallace has cropped his hair, by the way.) They brainstorm to try to figure out what the numbers could mean, and I'll just tell you this: If they turn up on a hatch, you lovely readers are on your own. Veronica eventually discovers that the numbers form a date: 11/19/03, almost exactly three years earlier...

...and then we're in the library, as an NVMVO tells us that Veronica's checking the FreePress issues from around that time. She discovers that a Theta Beta pledge, "Patrice Petrelli," fell off the sorority-house roof. Too bad she didn't wait for the eclipse to happen, but I guess there wouldn't have been much point in tanning at that particular moment. Veronica then once again senses that she's not alone, and runs off and hides under some stairs or something. She sees a pair of legs come into view, but it turns out they belong to the janitor. Damn, girl. I know you budgeted for the use of a lot of creepy music this episode, but looking up that article couldn't have waited until morning?

Chez Mars. Keith informs Veronica that he ran the dog walker's license plates, and asks Veronica to check it out. Veronica looks at the name: Hallie Platt. Hmm, that rings a bell...

...and that's because it's the name of Keri Lynn Pratt's character. Hallie's lying out on the tanning lawn, and it's a good thing Wallace is so busy these days and Piz is off in Mac-land, because otherwise their hard-ons would be casting some annoying shadows. Veronica sits down with Hallie and insinuates that perhaps Hallie was involved in her boss's disappearance because she was worried about her sorority house being shut down. So are they just not having the vote because one trustee isn't available? Or is there no tie-breaking procedure? Neither scenario seems particularly credible, but I suppose when you bring in Patty Hearst, the incredible is to be somewhat more expected.
