What I don't really like is when the chics asked him to go to the party he didn't really respond to them calling Veronica his friend, just kind of looked sheepish. That's definitely a far cry from the "if you don't like my girlfriend, head for the rectangle with the nun." when he stuck up for her in the first season.

Yes that bothered me too. I just didn't like that he was keeping what he was doing from her...I think that would raise supsicion in anyone. A 4 second message saying "Oh sorry I'm not gonna make it" without any real explanation with girls shrieking in the background would make any girl feel like crap, I think.

Yeah, but if the gambling was illegal, would he really want to say what he was doing in a message, where someone else could hear it? We don't know that he wouldn't have told her what he'd been doing if she'd asked him afterward rather than tracking him down.

Also see my response about the "friend" thing, below.

But he wasn't keeping it from her. If he was really trying to keep his whereabouts from Veronica then he would have gone to somplace quiet to make the phone call, or maybe not even called her at all and just face her wrath later when he can come up with an excuse.

I don't deny that the partying and giggling girls in the background would sound bad to a girlfriend. I'm just saying that not bothering to hide it means a guy is really stupid or he's not doing anything really wrong, or at least worth hiding. If Veronica had asked Logan the next day where he was and what he meant by "getting lucky", I'm sure he would have told her.

I completely agree with everything you said. Logan is definitely not being an ideal boyfriend, but Veronica is being worse.

I feel like the makeup scene wrapped it up fairly well. Logan apologized for his actions by not going to Mexico and agreeing to make more of an effort to do things she wants to do. Veronica, however, had to actually verbally apologize for the things she had done, because that's what was needed.

Frankly, I feel like all of it was very in character. We've always known Logan to be a party boy but faithful to Veronica, and Lord knows Veronica's always been distrusting.

I definitely think it's in character for both of them. It just bugged me that people were all "look at Logan being a jerk" and not at all "look at Veronica being paranoid".

Now I am jokingly referred to as "the girl with her boyfriend's balls in a jar" but I'd have to say that you missed one thing that made Logan in the wrong. Logan, Dick, and that random dude were going to Mexico to see a donkey show and smuggle drugs over in a pinata. First of all, I would never be able to sleep with someone who would purposely drive several miles to see a woman performing sexual acts on a donkey, and the drug smuggling is something I would not approve of either.

Those things on top of the lying kind of make me a little miffed with Logan.

She knew this about Logan beforehand, though. (His behavior, that is).

I mean, Bum Boxing, yo?

That is a very valid point. My stance is that both of them are in the wrong and I'm glad that Veronica actually realized she was being a bad girlfriend for once.

I def. understand where you are coming from. It is silly to qualify and quantify right and wrong - but man - if V did that to me, I'd be pissed, lol. Whereas if Logan was just being Logan - could I really be that pissed? Maybe if this was new behavior - but hey - it makes for great TV.

I don't think it should matter if some girls call Veronica his friend - I think it would be weird if he corrected them - because I doubt they are good friends of his so whether or not V is his girlfriend really shouldn't matter.

I think V was just being a controlling girlfriend - but beyond controlling. Stalker-like.

Logan said he might visit her at work and he didn't. One time offenses really aren't worth GPSing someone's phone - IMHO.

Also, I was on the crew team (rowing) in college - I am also a Linguistics graduate student - my boyfriend isn't into rowing or languages - so I don't try to force him into things I want or like to do. That is what your own time is for.

Overall - V was being a scary girlfriend.

Neither one was behaving perfectly. Logan was as you said being inflexible and putting other people in front of his girlfriend. And Veronica was being a crazy, pycho, jealous girlfriend. But they both realised they were both in the wrong at the end of the episode. Neither one was totally to blame IMO.

This is exactly what I was going to say, so pretend this comment is written twice =)
