Written by Dayna Lynne North and directed by Jason Bloom, the episode premiered on UPN on October 19, 2005.
The series depicts the adventures of Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) as she deals with life as a high school student while moonlighting as a private detective.
In this episode, Veronica helps a woman named Julie (Laura Bell Bundy) find out whether her boyfriend, Collin (Michael E. Rodgers), is cheating on her.
Meanwhile, Nathan Woods (Cress Williams) shows up in Neptune and gives some new information regarding Alicia Fennel (Erica Gimpel).
As she is leaving, Keith comes in and tells Veronica that he can't take on another case due to his Sheriff's run.
While talking to Weevil, Veronica realizes an earring the Sheriff's Office gathered as evidence in the death of David "Curly" Moran belongs to him.
When Veronica questions how the earring was collected as evidence, Weevil tells her he received an anonymous call saying that Curly was behind the bus crash.
Veronica, disguised as a sorority girl, investigates Collin by going to his house, pretending to have a flat tire, and attempting to seduce him while Wallace films.
Late that night, Meg's younger sister, Lizzie (Anastasia Baranova), shows up at Duncan's suite.
Sheriff Lamb calls Keith and tells him that "Carl Morgan" is actually a police officer named Nathan Woods.
Veronica investigates Weevil's story about the phone call and eventually connects it to a landline at the Echolls' house.
[3][4] The episode features the return of recurring character Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie (Tina Majorino), who had not appeared since "M.A.D.".
[5] Price Peterson of TV.com gave a positive review, saying that he "really enjoyed this episode," and that "I loved the undercover work Veronica did, and I'm getting more and more invested into her relationship with Duncan."
"The Alicia Fennel subplot, which I was dubious about when introduced, may still be problematic, but it did give us more time with Keith Mars in a variety of different moods...and the twist at the end...was not one I expected, so kudos on that.
