Plot

A woman hires Veronica to investigate her fiancé, but it turns out all her fears were in her mind. Meanwhile, Meg's sister Lizzie brings Meg's laptop to Veronica and Duncan so that her parents won't get what is on it. And the man in Chicago is Nathan Woods, a Chicago cop, who reveals to Wallace that he's his father.

Arc significance

* Veronica questions Weevil about an earring the sheriff's department found that was his.
* Weevil got an anonymous call that stated "Curly" Moran was responsible for the bus crash. Veronica traces the call to the Echolls' house, but it was during Logan's Life's Short party (which both the PCHers and the sheriff's department crashed), so it could have been anyone.
* Lizzie brings Duncan Meg's laptop and asks him to remove all of Meg's personal files. Veronica gets Mac to help.
* Keith finds out that the man in Chicago is Carl Morgan, but it turns out that is just an undercover alias for Nathan Woods, a Chicago cop and Alicia's former husband. He's also Wallace's father.

Music

* "Jealousy" - Stereophonics
* "Jealous Love" - Robert Cray
* "So Jealous" - Tegan and Sara
