Veronica attends a Future Business Leaders of America meeting to build up her résumé, headed by Dick Casablancas, Sr. (David Starzyk). After class, Beaver talks to Veronica about his step-mother's cheating and pays her $1,000 for the case. After finding "Veronica Mars" written on a dead body's palm, Sheriff Lamb (Michael Muhney) takes Veronica in for questioning. The man is David "Curly" Moran, whom Veronica met at the site of the bus crash. Sheriff Lamb threatens Veronica. Keith asks Alicia (Erica Gimpel) to a romantic getaway in Chicago, and she accepts. Veronica researches Kendall and her possible relationship to Curly Moran. Veronica asks Keith (Enrico Colantoni) whether he is going to propose to Alicia, and he says no. Veronica tracks Kendall, and she talks to an unspecified man. They go to a cheap motel, and Veronica takes a picture. Jackie comes and sits at Veronica and Wallace's table. Veronica, in order to help Wallace out, invites him and Jackie on a double date to watch the BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice". Beaver is not satisfied with the pictures, and Veronica requests more money for the "money shot." Veronica goes to Curly's place of work, where she finds Curly's possessions, including a picture of Curly with Aaron Echolls (Harry Hamlin).
