Miley fears that a new classmate knows her secret; Jackson befriends a new student.

After one of Neptune High's haughtier students brings a sexual harassment suit against a favorite teacher, Veronica is pitted against her father when the girl's parents hire Keith to help in their case. Meanwhile, with the tabloids claiming his mom is still alive, Logan turns to Veronica to help him track down the truth. Later, Veronica discovers more unsettling information about Duncan's hidden medical condition.

With Aaron Echolls' (recurring guest star HARRY HAMLIN) trial concluding, tensions rise as Veronica, Keith and Logan take the witness stand to testify against him. Meanwhile, after Veronica finds a suspicious e-mail in Woody's (recurring guest star STEVE GUTTENBERG) computer, Keith turns to the sheriff with evidence to arrest Woody. But Lamb refuses, believing that Keith is trying to turn him into a laughingstock. Also, to everyone's surprise, Neptune High's janitor brings a gun into school with the intent of finding Gia Goodman (recurring guest star KRYSTEN RITTER), Woody's daughter.
