Wallace risks ostracism to tell the reporter about Rashard Rucker’s role in a hit-and-run. Keith (
Enrico Colantoni) uses information obtained during the
investigation into the missing Aaron Echolls sex tapes to steal bus crash interrogation tapes from the sheriff’s station evidence room. Molly Fitzpatrick admits to Weevil she was dating Felix — whom she met at her uncle’s church — but insists that he wasn’t working for the Fitzpatricks. Nathan Woods (
Cress Williams) tells Wallace that Rashard implicated Wallace in the hit-and-run, suggesting the journalist Wallace spoke with deceived him. Veronica contacts Cliff McCormick (
Daran Norris), who arranges for Wallace to turn himself in. Meanwhile, they create a plan to confront Rashard. While shredding photos from an old case Veronica notices the background shows Terrance Cook with Mrs. Dumas, the teacher who died in the bus crash. Veronica informs Keith about Terrence Cook’s gambling problem. Weevil meets with Logan at his suite, and they deduce the Fitzpatricks are passing drugs to Felix’s killer using the church confessional. As Weevil leaves, a man is shown watching him leave. Veronica, in disguise as UCLA admissions assistant, picks up Rashard and some girls in a limousine, intending to meet Wallace; Rashard’s uncle Monte gets in the car and dismisses the girls. When Wallace confronts Rashard, Monte threatens Wallace and the limo driver. Later, Wallace remembers that a drive-through worker saw Rashard driving that night. Weevil and Logan ask Veronica to bug the confessional at the church; she agrees to record video, but not sound. Listening to the interrogation tapes, Keith realizes the dead rat was the bad smell that repelled the 09ers from the bus. Wallace finds the drive-through worker, Guy Abrutti, has disappeared. Veronica bugs the confessional and is almost caught by the priest. Wallace confronts Rashard at a fraternity party; Rashard threatens him. On his way out, Wallace encounters Jackie (
Tessa Thompson) flirting with Rashard. Wallace urges her to leave, so Rashard gets some fraternity brothers to lock Wallace in a closet. Outside, Veronica sees Jackie driving off with Rashard to a club Jackie suggested. Wallace encounters Monte looking for Rashard. Wallace directs him to the club, where a deputy moonlighting as a bouncer steals Monte’s phone for Veronica. On the surveillance tape, Veronica and Weevil watch Liam Fitzpatrick exchanging drugs with Thumper using the confessional. Jackie approaches Wallace and Veronica, and it is revealed Jackie was part of the plot to get Monte’s phone. Jackie flirts with Wallace, who acts friendly towards her, but then reveals he is dating another girl. Weevil confronts Thumper, only to find all the bikers work for the Fitzpatricks. Thumper discloses Weevil’s interactions with Logan, inciting a mutiny and causing Weevil to be tied up and beaten. Weevil accuses Thumper of killing Felix, who in turn threatens to release a video of Weevil assaulting Curly Moran. Nathan Woods uses Monte’s phone to locate Abrutti; subsequently, Monte’s machinations unravel. A bruised Weevil is shown taking the bus to school. Keith discovers that Woody told Gia not to take the school bus home
before Dick hired the limo. The news reports that Sheriff Lamb has taken Terrence Cook in for questioning related to the bus crash. == Cultural references ==
