Plot

As Duncan dreams of Meg, Veronica helps her father in finding out who is tormenting the Oliveres family, whose son Marcos was killed in the bus crash. This leads to a discovery of the pirate radio show "Ahoy, Mateys!" (broadcasted by none other than Butters). Also, Weevil and the PCHers decide to play a little Russian roulette with one of Logan's limbs to see if he killed Felix.

Arc significance

• Duncan agonizes about reading Meg's letter, but finally does it.
• Veronica tries to help Logan by getting more information about Dr. Tom Griffith. She goes to see Danny Boyd, whose bar fight wound was sewn up by Dr. Griffith, and finds that he's a friend of the Fighting Fitzpatricks. Liam Fitzpatrick spots Veronica and she almost gets hurt before Logan arrives and threatens him with a gun. This marks one of the many times that Logan saves Veronica from danger.
• Thumper, one of the PCHers, tells Weevil that the last people on the bridge with Felix alive were Hector and Bootsy.
• Two PCHers grab Logan and put a gun to his hand to get him to confess to Felix's murder. He says that he doesn't know anything. After they dump him off, he finds out that Weevil is behind his grabbing and threatens him.
