Which was why the very end of the episode confused me a lot, because it seemed to turn the rest of the episode on its head and have Veronica conclude that she was in the wrong because Logan was there to rescue her and--WHAT?!?

Oh, Jesus Christ. Tell me about it. That last voice-over pissed me off so much. And I would like for Veronica to stop having to be rescued by various men in her life *right now*, please. Or acting dumb (like leaving the drunk unattended, or walking off to a deserted parking garage when she knew she'd been drugged) for that matter. SO CRANKY.

I also find myself disinterested in the Hearst rapist arc, which really doesn't help matters.

What's especially maddening is that I feel like there was a point in there somewhere about how Veronica tends, at the height of her cynicism, to isolate herself from the people who form her support system. But reducing that complicated facet of her character to a trite damsel-in-peril scenario that they had to engineer by making their sharp, competent heroine behave foolishly sucked the life out of it.

As something of a side note, I went to college slightly before rohybnol and GHB came into circulation, and it makes me extremely sad that the world has become a place where not taking precautions against people drugging you in a public place is a stupid move. And it was, on Veronica's part, both in general and because of the particular situation on the Hearst campus, but in the bigger picture, that's a pretty sad state of affairs for all of us as human beings.
