Veronica calls Mac and asks if Mac can work on the sound file for her. Veronica then tells Mac that her dad blew all the money on a business gone bad. Yikes. I mean, putting some money in trust or in a college fund for Mac would have been a no-brainer from a tax point of view alone. Nice work, NASCAR dad. Mac says she's not going to do anything dumb, which, according to the laws of TV, means that she must be parked right at her biological parents' house. Rob Thomas wasn't sure that's where he wanted to go with this, but certain dictates are immutable. Mac goes to the door and rings the bell. The BRUNETTE! mother answers, and it's pretty clear that she knows who Mac is, despite her valiant attempts to cover. Mac tells Mommie BRUNETTE that she thinks she left her purse in the library when she was there for the party. The mother stammers, "You...were..." Man, this brings "worlds colliding" to a whole new level. An awkward level. Mommie BRUNETTE shows Mac into a den, where Mini-Mac is reading. She cheerfully greets Mac by name, and then runs off to look for Mac's purse. Mommie BRUNETTE starts to make small talk with Mac, but is interrupted by the appearance of her BLONDE-headed bitchchild. M, M, M! bitches and then leaves as Mini-Mac returns with Mac's purse. Mac seems to think better of the whole mess and leaves in a hurry, to Mommie BRUNETTE's consternation. Well, you may have been stuck with the bitch, Mommie BRUNETTE, but at least your tofu bills are under control.
Sheriff's office. Keith is packing up his stuff when a panicked woman rushes in and claims that her teenaged daughter is missing. Fuckface and Keith exchange a wary look. As Scott Wolf would say, hug it out, you two.
Keith unpacks his stuff. Fuckface gives him some shit, but they're interrupted by the speaking deputy from the pilot, who rushes in and tells them that the lab reported that the writing on the girl's hand was the phone number of the bartender from Body Shots. Ostensibly recalling that the bartender expressed an interest in Veronica, Keith frantically calls her, both from the office and from his car. In the second message, he says he's tracking her phone. He pulls up to some warehouse-looking type place and knocks on one of the doors. There's music coming from within, but no one answers. He draws his gun, goes to another door, and kicks it in, to find...Leo's band. Ha! That was funny. But what's even more of a joke is that Leo is the drummer. There are some lessons in life that will never stop serving you well, and chief among them is the certain fact that drummers are losers. Keith babbles in relief, and then takes in Leo, asking of him and Veronica, "You two know each other?" Un! Comfortable! Before Keith can think of crashing a cymbal on Leo's head, however, he notices the soundproofing the band put on the walls, and gets an idea. He asks one of the band members if he'll take Veronica back to the sheriff's office. The answer of "Yeah" marks the easiest earning of an SAG card in history. Keith asks Leo if he has his gun, and the answer is yes...
