I am – Hercules!!

It’s been six weeks in Neptune time since Weevil stumbled onto the corpse of Dean 0’Dell. With the campus rapist revealed, Logan and Veronica are said to be, at least momentarily, a couple again.

The Dean’s demise forms the big second story-arc of the season, but it’s Veronica’s P.I. daddy Keith who gets hired to look into it. The title character this week goes undercover as an animal rights activist to track down a missing lab monkey.

Veronica will, however, be drawn into the murder mystery as February sweeps commences

The O’Dell arc concludes Feb. 27, then “Mars” surrenders its slot to “Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search For The Next Doll.” The series returns for May sweeps to close out its first CW season with five stand-alone episodes.
