Plot

Veronica finds Abel Koontz's daughter, Amelia DeLongpre, and tries to get the evidence that Jake Kane paid Abel off to confess before Clarence Wiedman gets to her. She also has to contend with a classmate who is getting mysteriously harassed.

Arc significance

* Amelia DeLongpre has money, thinking that it's from a stock Abel invested in, when actually it was money Jake Kane paid him to confess.
* Clarence Wiedman tracks Amelia down before she can give the papers showing Jake Kane paid Abel off to Veronica and tells Amelia that her father is dying (something which Veronica did not tell her ). Amelia leaves with money that Clarence gives her.
* Keith tells Veronica that Jake Kane called Clarence Wiedman before he reported the murder and that as he was talking to Jake and Celeste right after the body was found, the dryer buzzed. Inside the dryer was a soccer uniform (presumably Duncan's, implicating him as Lily's murderer)

:Vinnie: " [to Veronica] " I, uh, hope you're not thinking of dying that hair because when you come work for me, you'll find that straying husbands are most likely to chase skinny blondes. No, I'm kidding, of course. They'll chase anything. But seriously, don't dye that hair.
