Things that confuse me

Okay, so it's still Veronica Mars related, but LOST has really stumbled creatively lately and BSG doesn't start up again until late in the summer so I'm left with additional time to ruminate, in a non cow-like way of course. lol

Some questions left over from the finale. Please feel free to chime in you have thoughts/answers/explanations.

How did Aaron manage to find Veronica's car so easily? Is he that conversant with the automobile choices of Logan's circle of friends?

What was in that stupid spy pen?

And while we're in the epistle vein, what happened to the Logan's letter to Lilly?

Was poor little Marisol Reyes just a sad coincidence?

Will Celeste be booked on obstruction of justice as well? What about good old Clarence?

Is Veronica eligible for the reward money originally put up for information leading to the arrest of Lilly's murderer? Or would her signing the contract giving up any future claim on the Kane estate negate that?

Where is Backup? He was at the crime scene, but Keith and Veronica are taken to the hospital and I'm doubting the EMT's let him hitch a ride. Is the mystery person at the door really Aw Shucks Deputy Leo bringing the beast back?

What's on that third tape that Lilly stole from the pool house?

Did we ever know definitively (ie from a source other than Veronica's reconstruction of the crime) what the muder weapon actually was?

Has Wallace's little brother disappeared off the face of the earth?

I've seen lots of passionate defense of Veronica's decision to turn Logan in without confronting him because of the potential physical danger she was in. Yet, over the course of the season we've seen her seek out a personal confrontation with Jake, who her father thought was at least involved in the murder if not the actual murderer, and we've seen her alone on several occasions with Duncan, who Veronica also suspected. Why would Logan be considered any more dangerous than other potential suspects? Her interactions with Logan were in public places. That inequity disturbs me.

Finally, would you really want to revisit a relationship with a guy who's admitted that he had sex with you while he was under the impression that you were siblings?

VM tends to let a lot of details like that slide a bit, but the best I can do is say he'd have seen it when he took her home, if not before. And certainly the way this all came out puts a different light on his niceness during the drive home that afternoon.

But, isn't her car left at Weevi's uncle's autoyard/chop shop to have the alternator repaired? The detail stuff is something that tends to jump out at me. I think in another life I'd be ideally suited to being a continuity editor. :)

Possibly nothing... possibly Logan's letter? I'm doubting the letter because Weevil went after Logan with the crowbar, but there's the slimmest possibility that he really intended to collect Logan and go after Duncan. I know, I know. Stretching a loooootttt.

I admire the stretch. You're quite flexible. lol I hope that they at least answer this detail next season. Although if it's true that next season starts at the beginning of the school year, I'm guessing that the best we would get is a throwaway line.

I'm with you on hoping Celeste is locked up too. Jail could only improve her. But, I could see Jake taking the fall for that one so that Duncan isn't left parentless. I hope that the third tape wasn't destroyed and turns up again. Celeste having an affair with Aaron as well would up the tawdry element just that much more. Plus, Lilly would have gotten a huge kick out of it I'm sure.

I don't think they said so textually, but she'd almost have to have known about the murder weapon if it really was an ashtray thrown in the pool. In fact, that'd be how she figured out how the scene played. Knowing the murder weapon is just about the only way to get from tapes to the Kane mansion/pool scene she reconstructed.

That's what confused me. Because in Veronica's imaginings of the crime scene earlier in the season (with each of the Kanes as the murderer) the ashtray isn't the weapon all the time. Which is why I didn't understand why suddenly it *was* the murder weapon.

She was schizophrenic this whole episode, and it makes sense to me that she would be, given what she's been dealing with mentally. That didn't stop me from calling her a 'stupid girl' at times and wanting to shake her, but I do think she's been falling apart since the rape was resurrected.

I think you make a good point that she's probably still reeling from all the "rape" revelations. Plus, it's true that her motivation is to find the letter and one hopes that she wants to prove that Logan *didn't* do it. I found the locker scene to be painful, but the real killer is the call from jail. She lets him believe that she's on his side even though she's the reason that he's there. That felt incredibly cold to me.
