1.20 "M.A.D."

Aired Apr 26, 2005

Summary

GHAOU for it's a mad mad mad mad world. SOB Tad blackmails his girlfriend with an X-rated MPEG. Carmen's display with frozen OJ leads her to SOS our favorite PI, who uses Mac's IT skills to set Tad up with a WAV and URL just as damaging to his PR. Tad's IQ is lower than two and come D-Day, he does the deed anyway. But Carmen's OK and holds off using her WMD. Keith and Alicia continue their PDA at dance class, as Keith's marriage status is TBD. Keith searches for Duncan, still MIA, and Alicia's days as a Kane Software PA may be numbered. FYI, Aaron is Veronica and Logan's BFF for a while and keeps the fling under the RADAR. So, still on the QT, the couple share many xxxxxx's and plan a TGIF boat trip for some R&R. V leaves that SOB Logan high and dry when she learns he was dishing out the GHB at SP's party. TBC?! Is LoVe DOA? Fans need an EKG, stat!

Important Parts

• Veronica helps a classmate, Carmen, who is being blackmailed by her boyfriend, Tad. Tad doesn't want her to break up with him, so he threatens to put a trashy video of Carmen online. Veronica and Carmen set Tad up, with the help of Seth and Mac. They create a website that portrays that Tad is gay in the hopes that he won't send the video. He does anyway. Carmen doesn't take revenge on him.

• Logan and Veronica are keeping their relationship a secret by making out in the bathroom and at Logan's home. Unfortunately, Aaron walks in on them making out on the couch. Fortunately, he likes Veronica with Logan and tells her so. Logan and Veronica make plans to actually go on a date on Aaron's boat.

• Keith and Veronica are looking for Duncan. There is a huge reward. Veronica gets a tip from Weevil that doesn't pan out. She also gets help from Mac, who tells her that someone bought Roberto Nalbandion's Argentinean passport on Ebay and had it shipped to the airport Marriott.

• Keith and Alicia are very happy together. Veronica sees a notice of service in the paper asking for the whereabouts of Lianne Mars. Cliff says that California law says you must run a notice for seven days before you can file for divorce on grounds of abandonment.

• Clarence Wiedman threatens Alicia that she needs to stop seeing Keith or she will lose her job. Clarence shows her the bug that he found in the fake plant that Wallace delivered to his office.

• Carmen couldn't remember the night Tad videotaped her. Mac looked up the date on the video which was 3:23 AM, December 7, 2003. This was the same night Veronica was raped.

• Veronica finds Tad, who is now taped to the flagpole outside of school. She says she'll cut him down if he tells her who gave him the roofies so he could drug Carmen. Tad says it was G.H.B. and that Logan Echolls gave it to him. Veronica doesn't cut him down.

• Logan waits for Veronica on his dad's boat, but she doesn't come.
