"Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner" is the seventh episode of the second season of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars, and the twenty-ninth episode overall. Written by Diane Ruggiero and directed by Nick Marck, the episode premiered on UPN on November 16, 2005. The series depicts the adventures of Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) as she deals with life as a high school student while moonlighting as a private detective. In this episode, Duncan (Teddy Dunn) calls on Veronica to help investigate a subject of child abuse mentioned in his ex-girlfriend, Meg's (Alona Tal) journal. Meanwhile, the Casablancas family splits up Dick Sr.'s (David Starzyk) assets. Synopsis Veronica and Duncan are making out in Duncan's suite when Logan (Jason Dohring), who is now living there, walks in the door. Kendall (Charisma Carpenter) shows up, and Logan invites her into the hotel room, making Duncan and Veronica uncomfortable. In a Future Business Leaders of America meeting, Cassidy (Kyle Gallner) comes out on top of the hypothetical business contest. Keith talks to new mayor Woody Goodman (Steve Guttenberg), who describes his plan to incorporate Neptune as a city. Woody offers to make Keith police chief if that happens. Logan meets Veronica in the girl's bathroom and asks her to investigate the man claiming to be the "witness" to the murder of Felix Toombs, and she agrees. Duncan pulls Veronica aside and tells her he was looking through Meg's files and has found she was emailing with child protective services about a child who was being abused. Meg never says the name of the child in her emails, but describes the child as between 7–10 years old. Duncan explains that Meg babysat for a lot of families, and Veronica and Duncan decide to break into Meg's house for more evidence. The Casablancas talk to a lawyer, who tells them the house and cars are paid off. However, Kendall has no assets separate from Dick Casablancas Sr, so all her accounts are frozen. Dick (Ryan Hansen) and Beaver each have a trust fund, but they are restricted from accessing the money until they turn 21. One of Meg's clients was the Goodman family, so Veronica arranges to go over to Gia's house for a sleepover. Veronica gets a babysitting job with one of the families who Meg babysat for, who appear very uptight and have Edwin's night scheduled down to the minute. At
