Stuck in the Middle - V-mars season 3

I love Veronica Mars.  Don't read until you
However being the rock-fiend that I am, I liked the old opening better.

here are my questions before this episode starts
1. what happened to Veronica at the airport?
          answer apparently he shows up later. hmmmm
2. What did the Ho-lady Casablancas want from V's dad?
          "bail-jumper" aka her/ ha!!! helping her leave town. I think I need to remember details from previous season. Why does she need to leave town?

So what is with all of the Neptune alums going to the same college?  That is very convienient.
When did Logan get so cute? The room key thing? and as a nice side note I love how I can see a little bit of protectiveness in there [note the look at the new guy and then he kisses veronica].

So this episode goes really serious really fast. Is the lady who plays Kendall Casablancas on another show or did they just get sick of her? Also I really need to go back and look at the episodes about Veronica visiting Hurst. The "larger mystery" made an appearance and I think that I remember something about the girls that got their heads shaved. I thought that she solved that, but I guess not.
Well I am off to bed for now. In closing I am pulling for Logan and Mac. Woot for tragicaly cute guys and computer geeks
over and out
