[edit] Plot
Veronica finds Abel Koontz's daughter, Amelia DeLongpre, and tries to get the evidence that Jake Kane paid Abel off to confess before Clarence Wiedman gets to her. She also has to contend with a classmate who is getting mysteriously harassed.
[edit] Arc significance
- Amelia DeLongpre has money, thinking that it's from a stock Abel invested in, when actually it was money Jake Kane paid him to confess.
- Clarence Wiedman tracks Amelia down before she can give the papers showing Jake Kane paid Abel off to Veronica and tells Amelia that her father is dying (something which Veronica did not tell her). Amelia leaves with money that Clarence gives her.
- Logan tells Veronica about a violent seizure Duncan had the week he broke up with her, during which he assaulted his father nearly strangling him in front of Logan. The day after, Duncan would not remember anything of the incident.
- Keith tells Veronica that Jake Kane called Clarence Wiedman before he reported Lilly's murder and that as he was talking to Jake and Celeste right after the body was found, the dryer buzzed. Inside the dryer was a soccer uniform (presumably Duncan's, implicating him as Lilly's murderer).
Symbolism:
It is noteworthy that the title of this episode also seems to be making a biblical reference. In the Bible the story of Cain murdering Abel is similar to the idea that Abel Koontz is the innocent sacrifice made by the Kane Family in order to cover up any wrongdoing by their family.
