House of Mars. Keith makes notes on the Dean O'Dell case as Veronica breezes in and demands that he entertain her. Keith busts out a Michigan J. Frog-like song about finally getting the police report on Dean Ed's suicide. Veronica tells him about the Lilith House egging spree, and explains that Nish was all bent out of shape and swore Dean Ed would regret it when he fired her from the paper. Having "dipped into that well one too many times," Veronica explains that she can't talk to Lilith House about the egging herself, but teasingly recommends that Keith not wear a Daniel Boone jacket or peace sign if he goes undercover as a student. When Keith asks if Veronica will be home for dinner, Veronica joyfully announces that she's meeting two hookers at Logan's place. Keith stares at her a second before breezing, "On a school night?" Heh. Veronica explains the time-saving device of off-peak hours, and Keith realizes that she's serious. "They're just a couple of gals putting themselves through college," Veronica singsongs. Keith continues to stare at her, so Veronica leaves the room snarking that he's bringing her down with his "bourgeois hang-ups." Keith forces out an uncomfortable noise, which is halfway between a throat-clear and a muttering laugh. She's daddy's little girl.
