Veronica Mars Episode #3-17 "De-Basement Tapes" Recap/Review
Well, Piz gets to chaperone one of his idol, Desmond Fellows(Paul Rudd), a former member of a '90s pop duo, who now uses the backing vocals of his deceased bandmate to just get by. But the tapes turn up missing and Veronica's on the case. Turns out that the bag with his tapes was picked up by someone else by mistake at the airport, so Veronica and Piz go to L.A. to get the tapes CDs, and find a CD of new material that Desmond was working on, so they call him and make up a story that they were stuck in traffic so he'd have to do his new stuff and it was a success.
Logan needs to turn in a business model, so he enlists Mac to create a website rating butts of the female variety, an idea which he got after watching Dick in a video on a YouTube-style site where he somehow ran over his own foot with his own car. Somehow, though, I think the website was really Dick's idea and he let Logan take full credit for it. But even after getting some help from Max, the professor didn't care for the presentation.
Keith gets a visit from Leo, who asks Keith to check out some suspicious activity at the courthouse(where he was a security guard at before reporting the activity to his supervisor, who reassigned him) involving Danny Boyd(Fighting Fitzpatricks returning?). Keith and Leo do a late night stakeout at the courthouse and see the Fitzpatricks taking weapons out of a storage shed, but Vinnie Van Lowe locked the Fitzpatricks in the shed. And Vinnie decides to run against Keith for Sheriff.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.....
