Kathleen Parker

As she continues investigating Lilly Kane's murder, Veronica pursues a risky lead that could discredit Abel Koontz's (not appearing in this episode) confession when she discovers that the convicted killer has a daughter, Amelia DeLongpre (ERIN CHAMBERS), who is about to receive a huge payoff from Jake Kane (recurring guest star KYLE SECOR). Logan stumbles onto Veronica's detailed computer files of everyone connected to Lilly's death. At school, Veronica is hired by a senior student, Sabrina (MEGAN HENNING), to find the party responsible for tormenting her in an attempt to sabotage Sabrina's chances at becoming valedictorian. Sabrina is not well liked by most of her peers, and the long list of suspects includes her ex-boyfriend and her closest competitor. Meanwhile, unsavory, rival private investigator Vinnie Vanlowe (KEN MARINO) makes Keith a business offer.

Despite Keith's orders, Veronica takes the case of a classmate who thinks she's being stalked. Keith believes Woody (recurring guest star STEVE GUTTENBERG) might be involved. What Veronica discovers not only shocks both girls but leads to further questions. Meanwhile, Woody enlists Keith's help in trying to avoid a scandal when he ends up with an unconscious woman in his motel room. Also, after the principal cancels the prom because of drinking violations on the senior trip, Logan takes it upon himself to throw an "alterna-prom" in his suite.

After tragedy strikes Neptune, Calif. and the local sheriff rushes to judgment, an emotional Veronica attempts to help a grieving family member rule out suicide as a contributing cause in the calamity. Meanwhile, Wallace offers to help transfer student Jackie Cook, the fiery, flirty daughter of professional baseball player Terrence Cook, track down the person who damaged her car in the school lot. Later, mayoral candidate Woody Goodman asks Keith to consider running for sheriff.
