not Neptune's mascot. Back in the past, Lianne says that she does not know Veronica's real father is, and that a paternity test would be needed. Leo (Max Greenfield) brings back the Lilly Kane investigation tapes to Veronica. At Neptune High, Veronica sits with Wallace and his new friends. Later, Wallace leads Veronica to a truck with a goat in it. Veronica listens to the interrogation tapes, and she hears Keith (Enrico Colantoni) talking to Jake Kane. Veronica sends Wallace to deliver a "gift" to Clarence Wiedman's assistant. Veronica listens to Keith's interrogation of Celeste Kane (Lisa Thornhill). That night, Veronica goes on a date with Leo before she sees Meg (Alona Tal) with Duncan (Teddy Dunn) on a double date with Jake and Celeste at the same restaurant. Flashing back one more time, Lianne reveals Celeste's knowledge of the affair. Veronica points out a mistake in Jake and Celeste's story—Lianne says they were at the hotel for 20 minutes, while Jake said they were there for 2.5 hours. Meanwhile, a Pan High student in a mask shows the Neptune people over TV that he has the parrot. The student demands that Wallace does not play or else Polly will die. Veronica talks with Meg, who says that the thug must have put in the announcement the night before. The two examine the photograph, and Veronica sees a basketball number on the person's sneakers. Veronica steals both the mascots back and frames the actual culprit—a Neptune boy who stole the parrot so he could kick Wallace out and go back to being a starter so that he could continue sabotaging his team's chances of winning the basketball game and ensure winning bets against Neptune. Veronica checks her mother into a rehabilitation center. Veronica talks to her father about her discovery that Abel Koontz (Christian Clemenson) is someone's proxy. Veronica takes out the pencil sharpener and states fakery that she knows who collected Abel Koontz's accounts. Veronica, assuming that Wallace has delivered the "gift" (which he did and had a microphone in it), listens. Clarence Wiedman asks his assistant to call Amelia DeLongpre, and Veronica finds out that Amelia is Abel Koontz's daughter. Cultural references A variety of cultural references are made in the episode: Veronica references the Wildlife Alliance and the film Valley Girl. Veronica misquotes an Academy Award speech of Sally Field. Veronica says that the Neptune High vending
