In an attempt to find some sanctuary in a world away from the men in her life who have been constantly disappointing her, Veronica has been crashing in Wallace’s dorm room while he’s out of town studying. Piz returns unexpectedly, but he lets her stick around until the RA and a distressed girl ask for help finding the girl’s missing boyfriend. Naturally, Veronica is roped into the case.
In Professor Landry’s class, Veronica is offered an internship with the FBI in lieu of her term paper about planning the perfect murder. She realizes that this is something of a bribe to keep her quiet about the affair he was having with the dean’s wife and is put into a moral gray area. After class, she has a conflict with Logan, who still insists on keeping his secrets, and finds Meryl still alone waiting for her boyfriend. The two come up with a plan to get into Sully’s voicemail and discover a message from Scarlett, the girl who was circled in the Freshman face book.
At the Neptune jail, Veronica confronts Mercer about Logan’s claims of an alibi but he won’t give up what exactly they were doing either. He does mention that several people on campus owe him large sums of money, including the Pi Sig president and Dean O’Dell. Back at Sully’s room, Meryl is still waiting but his roommate comes by and tells them that he hasn’t seen him since they went surfing the morning before. He also mentions that Sully and Meryl had a fight over the phone, which Meryl failed to mention.
Meanwhile, Harmony stops by Keith’s office to ask that he run away with her to an exotic locale in spite of her loveless marriage. Unfortunately for them, Vinnie van Lowe has been tracking the two’s affair and has concrete proof. Because Keith doesn’t have the information Vinnie is looking for (Kendall’s location), Vinnie blackmails him with the photographs.
In an attempt to figure out where Sully is, Veronica and Meryl ambush Scarlett at the food court, who claims that she was supposed to be meeting Sully for studying but is awfully dressed up for a study buddy encounter. Veronica outright accuses Scarlett of attempting to steal Meryl’s boyfriend and makes them work it out while she goes across the room to tell Landry that she’s not taking the FBI internship. He tells her that she doesn’t need to be worried about the internship being hush money because he doesn’t care what she thinks about his “situation.”
Later on, Veronica uncovers Mercer’s schedule on the radio station and finds that he couldn’t have committed the rapes because he was doing a live call-in request show. She confronts Logan about this and demands that he still tell her what happened. Logan admits that they were in Mexico and one of Mercer’s drinks got out of hand when one of the ingredients was fire. The room caught ablaze and eventually burned down the entire motel. Logan and Mercer fled, leaving everyone behind. Disappointed, Veronica gives Logan the information he needs to clear Mercer and leaves.
With Mercer’s case finished, Veronica turns her attention back to Meryl and manages to track her boyfriend’s cellphone into an unsavory part of town. Worse yet, she tracks it to the Fitzpatrick’s bar. Veronica tries to keep Meryl in the car until they can get backup from the sheriff, but Meryl makes a run for it anyway. They get into a scrap of trouble (just like last time) but instead of Logan with a gun, Vinnie comes to their rescue with a cell phone. He tells them that Sully did show up at the bar the night before, drunk and amnesic. They took him on a shopping spree and dumped him when they were bored, causing him to be picked up by the cops and shoved in the drunk tank. He manages to recover his memory, however, when he sees Meryl.
Afterwards, Veronica goes to the food court for dinner but leaves her tray at a table when she finds a hair in her pasta. After coming back and taking a swig from her soda, she starts to feel the effects of GHB. She manages to stumble to her car, where she sees a shadowy figure in a dark hoodie. She activates the car alarm, which alerts Logan who was walking by the parking garage. He manages to find her before too much damage is done, but a lock of her hair was cut off by the assailant.
