Plot

Max, a student, hires Veronica to find a woman he says he's in love with, but he doesn't know her last name or where she lives. He just knows she's getting married soon, due to a text message she sent to him. Veronica learns that the mystery woman isn't quite what Max thought.

Keith Mars learns that Dean O'Dell's office was egged on the night of his alleged suicide. He visits Lilith House in his old sheriff uniform to try to intimidate the women into revealing information about the night of Dean O'Dell's murder. Nish says that she was at the Dean's office building and egged the Dean's Volvo, but did not egg the Dean's window. Keith then informs Nish and the other girls that he believes the Dean was murdered.

Madison Sinclair stuns Veronica with some shocking news.
