Keith goes in to see Lamb, and asks him what he found from examining the bus, but Lamb's unwilling to share. I'm sure that's a marked departure from how he was as a child. Keith points out that if he hadn't turned over the voicemail, the investigation would be nowhere, but Lamb counters that maybe Keith should be worrying about Veronica. Keith asks what that's supposed to mean. Despite his attempt at bravado, I think he knows that the possibilities start at "bad" and end up somewhere several miles past "worse." Lamb tells Keith about Veronica's name on Curly's hand, and then goes in for the kill: "Forget it. She said it was nothing. You know kids these days." Well, not really, but I do know one who's about to get a hell of an earful from her bald, irate dad.

Veronica pulls up to the "Palm Tree Motel" as VMVO tells us that this is where Amelia was two days ago, and also implies that Waverley isn't the most savory town California has to offer. I'm guessing she drove inland. Wacky banjo music kicks up as Veronica enters the lobby and finds the toothless-type proprietor looking at internet porn. Veronica: "Naughty schoolgirls? What will they think of next?" Judging from my spam filter, I think at this point they've thought of just about everything. The proprietor offers Veronica a room at thirty bucks a night. I guess this is the part of California they call "Nevada." Veronica shows the guy Amelia's picture and learns that she was there a couple nights before. Veronica asks to see the room she stayed in, but is forced to fork over thirty bucks....
