It's the new school year and Veronica has turned her life around over the summer—she has a boyfriend, a normal job, and doesn't handle cases anymore. That is, until a bunch of athletes (including Wallace) are kicked off their teams because their drug tests came back positive. Veronica solves the mystery with her usual aplomb and gets them back on their squads, but things still aren't hunky dory. Logan was at the door last year, having survived a beating from the PCH Bike Club, but when he came to, Felix was dead (!) and Logan was holding a bloody knife (!!), which he threw in the ocean. Arrested, he eventually got off due to lack of evidence, but the escalating war between the 09ers and the bikers finally moved Veronica to break up with him, leading him to have an affair with Kendall Casablancas (Dick and Beaver's new stepmom) and Veronica to get back together with Duncan, who had dumped Meg. Veronica tries to make amends with Meg, but she won't have any. Future reconciliation seems increasingly unlikely, especially after the bus that Meg and a bunch of students were in drives off a cliff, delivering all the passengers unto a watery grave (!!!).
