I agree with every single one of the things you mention. These are all things I love about this episode.
I also really liked seeing Veronica giving up her illusions about her mother, painful as that is for her. It's good to see her grow, and love, love her relationship with Keith.
I was not anywhere near being on the Aaron-did-it bandwagon. I think it basically works, and there was definitely textual evidence for it. But I somehow expected something a little less obvious than abusive-psycho-dad did it. I know it works thematically, with the repeated themes of parents, parentage, cameras, etc. I'm not sure what I was expecting - I guess I expected something more subtle, insidious, less sordid?
That said, I'm still satisfied. And I think they've set up some fascinating possibilities for Logan next year with this conclusion, and I hope they do it well. There are so many opportunities for really good character development and growth in all of the characters, but especially Veronica, Logan and Duncan. I'm just keeping my faith in this crew for now!
