Veronica runs into Mac's room, because apparently she told hotel security that a crime was in play. What brilliant thinking! No wonder it took her so long to come up with it! Anyway, Mac is heartbreakingly huddled in only a towel, and, as Veronica gingerly approaches her, Mac tells her, "He took my clothes. He took everything." Did he take the room phone, too? Sorry, I'm sympathetic, I am. Also, many people took this comment to mean that Beaver raped her, but I don't see that as likely because of time constraints if nothing else. Veronica cries and embraces Mac. Man, do I hope they serve good therapy at Hearst.

And now, a sequence I loved. Kendall and Haaron are post-coital. Okay, perhaps my personal loving started thirty seconds in. Kendall makes a comment about Haaron's, um, potency, and waddles off to the bathroom. Well, I'm assuming, but she did put the idea in my head. Haaron lights a cigar (which is exceedingly appropriate given what's about to happen), and flips on the TV to an old movie of his and approvingly notes, "Who's that handsome fellow?" Narcissistic to the end, and I love it. And that end is pretty seriously nigh, as we pan over to show a no-nonsense-looking gun with silencer attached about a foot from Haaron's right temple. Two shots leave the gun, blood spatters all over Haaron's TV image (niiiiiiiice, and I really mean that), and we pan up to see Wiedman. He marches out....

...and now we're in "Mollymook, Australia," as Duncan is putting the finishing touches on a sandcastle and Baby Lilly watches. His phone rings, and Duncan looks slightly apprehensive (Acting! I love it!) before he answers. Duncan opens, "CW?" and Wiedman responds, "It's a done deal." Okay, I normally hate it when the writers tempt fate, but that one was pretty awesome. Wiedman hangs up, uncovers the security camera, and leaves. Duncan closes his eyes for a second before the baby pipes up, and it's another nice touch to focus in on her just after her namesake was avenged. People wondered what was in this for Wiedman, but I think the way he pursued Amelia's killer (where there wasn't anything clearly in it for him) just shows his fierce professional pride, and we already knew how loyal he's been to the Kanes. It's true that it's a bit of a surprise that Duncan was behind the hit, but given how much he loved Lilly and Veronica, and the fact that Haaron had the gall to try to pin the rap on him easily lets me buy it. One of my favorite moments of the season.
