"The Bitch Is Back" is the twentieth episode of the third season of "Veronica Mars", and the show's series finale. The episode gets its title from the popular Elton John song of the same name.

Plot

Furious that Logan attacked Piz, Veronica tells Logan she wants nothing to do with him. Parker confronts Logan about still having feelings for Veronica and breaks up with him. Meanwhile Piz assures Veronica that he had nothing to do with the sex video, so she tracks down the person who emailed the video - a former acquaintance, Chip Diller. But he's not the source of the video - Wallace's room was bugged by a secret organization called "The Castle". Veronica asks Wallace to go undercover since the Castle wants to recruit him. Veronica follows one of the pledges identified by Wallace to a party hosted by none other than Jake Kane, the father of Veronica's dead best friend Lilly and ex-boyfriend Duncan.

It turns out Jake Kane is a member of the secret society. Veronica manages to steal and hack into Jake's hard drive to get a list of members of the Castle, but this puts her at odds with her father who is called by Jake to investigate the theft. Despite the re-election campaign nearing, Keith steps in to protect Veronica by erasing surveillance footage showing her breaking into the Kane residence. Veronica returns the hard drive to Jake but lets him know that she has all the information about the Castle.

Logan attempts to apologize to Veronica for beating up Piz, but she tells him it's going to take time for her to forgive him. After the perpetrator sits down with Veronica, saying he feels no regret to posting the video of her and Piz, Logan beats him up despite Veronica's warning not to. Logan then turns around to see Piz staring at the commotion and apologizes for attacking him originally. Piz catches the exchange between the two and sends a look of disappointment towards Veronica as she looks away guiltily.

Keith finds charges filed against him for his part in letting Veronica escape and things look bleak for his election. In the final scene, Veronica casts her vote for Keith in the Sheriff election and walks off into a rainy street.
