Plot

Gia enlists Veronica's help to find out who is stalking her, while Logan makes a surprising confession to Veronica.

Arc significance

* Veronica finds out that she has chlamydia.
* Logan says that the sketch of the man who stole Cliff's briefcase looks like his father's cell mate.
* Woody enlists Keith in helping cover up an unconscious hooker (who he claims is a campaign staffer) that was in a hotel room with Woody. Keith is photographed carrying her out and Woody puts the blame on him; Keith tells the media the truth.
* Near the beginning of the episode, Veronica reminds Logan that after they graduate, they'll probably never see each other again. At the alterna-prom, Logan expresses to Veronica how much he misses being with her, and how she broke his heart. Veronica gets nervous and bolts. The next day, she realizes that she doesn't want her and Logan to never speak again, so she goes to his hotel room and tells him that she wasn't ready for a relationship, but she wanted them to make a point of seeing each other after graduation. When she discovers that Kendall Casablancas is in the room and Logan tells her last night was such a blur, she starts crying and heads towards the elevator. He chases after her, starting phrases such as "Just so you know..." and "What I said..." But Veronica shakes her head at him and leaves.
* Gia received a DVD video of her brother's soccer game in the same way that Woody received one. This turns out to be from Tommy "Lucky" Dohanic, the janitor at Neptune High who used to be the batboy for the Neptune Sharks. He is arrested, but his bail is paid by the Mannings.
