So I have a burning question from the last chapters... maybe I missed this being brought up last week but it's one thing that has been bugging me recently. So on the second page of chapter 14 Logan says he misses money and power. He is also living in Veronica's small apartment. So does he not have as much money as we all assumed he would? Did I miss that detail at some point? I'm not the most thorough reader!

Mac has been keeping tabs on her biological parents. Well, if you have the skills to, I guess I would too in her situation. I think we talked a little about this last time but do you all think she should initiate contact with them?

Her mother, definitely
I feel like if she hasn't by now she may never and what's the point.
Mod
I am SO glad you brought this up Leigh! I have been wondering the same thing. I don't want to skip ahead, but later in the book Veronica does make another remark about "never" being rich. Which also made me think of Logan. Do we think his wealth is gone? How?
Mod
True! If anything it makes me sad she can't have a relationship with her bio sister and mother. But also....how evil is this...I would like to see the look on Madison's face when she found out.
Would love to see that! I would like her to have a relationship with her sister but it also seems like something major will happen for her to really connect since she is getting older.

I can totally see his inherited wealth dissipating.
Part of me thinks that Veronica will never think of Logan's money as hers but I also feel like he doesn't have much left anyway... but he does have a nice car!

One would think they do, unless they go to Trina. She was daddy's girl after all. Neptune Rising wrote: "I wonder if Aaron's checks from work on all his acting projects would go to Logan?"

His 21st birthday was so long ago! Why would a parent set up a trust fund that would only last that long!
Neptune Rising wrote: "I wonder if Aaron's checks from work on all his acting projects would go to Logan?"I would think he would get something. And if you invest well you can live well!
Neptune Rising wrote: "I wonder if Aaron's checks from work on all his acting projects would go to Logan?"he would have had to leave a will stating that though, right? If no arrangements were made (and thinking of Aaron and how he "unexpectedly" died he probably didn't arrange for that.) I would assume the money would just go to the government.

Oh good point! The Kane's would not have needed the money but they would've enjoyed taking it from Aaron.
Mod
Veronica goes undercover to talk to Charles Sinclair at his advertising firm. She slips Grace's photo into a stack of fake shots in order to gauge Charles reaction to it. And he DEFINITELY recognizes Grace.

It kills me that Madison's dad is an awesome creative type. I was sure he'd have a career suited to her shallowness.
I think the trust to last til his 21st birthday was a partial trust. One of those where you get a certain portion until you're of a more responsible age and then you get the larger lump sum amount upon turning 21. That's often how they work. Good questions, everyone!Cyrus wrote: "Neptune Rising wrote: "Leigh brought up a very good question, a topic that isn't really directly addressed, and that is Logan's wealth.

This is such a great discussion! I am glad I'm not the only one wondering at this, haha.
Mod
Veronica's plan is still in action when she is (rudely) interrupted by...Madison Sinclair!
Madison is clearly confused (can't blame her, but seriously now, it's Veronica Mars. Obviously you are being tricked)
Mod
I hadn't thought about that! Mac is pretty creative too...in her techy way! Maybe she inherited more from him than she would like to admit.
Well dang it, some friends just unexpectedly showed up at my house! Ah I was so looking forward to this but now I have to go! Have fun!

Oh, of course! Good point. I just hate Madison so much!

I wonder how Mac's adorable little sister is doing!!
Mod
Bye Leigh! Hope to see you next week!

Maybe she'll show up in a book!

That would be wonderful! Using Mac's bio sister or mother to reveal the switch at birth in a case so Mac could finally get some closure.
Mod
Veronica manages to snag a DNA sample- a sweat soaked towel before quickly making her exit.
Lucky for her Charles practices yoga!

Logan and Veronica spend some much needed time together. Logan proposes that they get the puppy that Veronica has been asking for.
V: "This is seriously threatening my hardboiled persona. Because I have never wanted to squee so badly in my life."
I've only seen V fake squee before- while pledging the soroity in season 3- and she was NOT happy about it!
Mod
So many loose ends! So many storyline options! So many ways to keep giving us marshmallows #MoreVeronicaMars! And I want them ALL!!!
Mod
Veronica and Logan bring their new puppy to Mars Investigations.
"Logan gave a nervous laugh, he was always formal around her dad."
Did you find this to be true? I always thought Logan was laid back around Keith. But in kind of a scared way.
