Veronica investigates possible fraud at school in the election of student council president after Duncan wins, defeating a more popular but less affluent student who promised to eliminate the wealthy students' on-campus perquisites. Meanwhile, Logan causes a public relations nightmare for his movie star parents Aaron and Lynn Echolls (recurring guest stars and real-life couple HARRY HAMLIN - "L.A. Law" and LISA RINNA - "Melrose Place") when footage of him organizing boxing matches between homeless men is posted on the Internet and leaked to the media. Later, Veronica and Keith learn that the man who admitted to murdering Lilly is set to be executed, but a second look at crime scene photographs puts his confession in question.

A serial killer who targets college girls has struck again, and the town of Neptune is terrified. Keith, who previously worked on the case, temporarily returns to the sheriff's department to help catch the killer. Meanwhile, Veronica's own investigative caseload (and income) increases as she conducts background checks to get the "dirt" on her schoolmates' parents. But for her computer geek friend, Mac (recurring guest star TINA MAJORINO), the information Veronica learns may have life-altering consequences.

Determined to expose the person who drugged and assaulted her at a party the year before, Veronica questions her friends and many rivals about the events that occurred that night at Shelly Pomeroy's (MELISSA HOOVER) house. Meanwhile, when one of Veronica and Wallace's stunts affects Alicia's (recurring guest star ERICA GIMPEL) job at Kane Software, she confronts Keith about his daughter's behavior. Later, in an attempt to get closer to his son, Aaron (recurring guest star HARRY HAMLIN) hosts a birthday party for Logan that surprises everyone.

In the shocking, action-packed season finale, Veronica solves the mystery of who murdered her best friend, Lilly Kane--but she betrays someone she cares deeply about in the process.

Veronica and Duncan discover that Duncan's ex-girlfriend, Meg Manning (recurring guest star ALONA TAL), who is comatose, had been baby-sitting an abused child, leading Veronica to take on an unfamiliar role as a baby-sitter to determine the kid's identity. Meanwhile, Kendall (recurring guest star CHARISMA CARPENTER) continues her affair with Logan as her stepsons, Dick and Beaver, learn the details of their trust fund. Later, Woody Goodman (recurring guest star STEVE GUTTENBERG) makes Keith another intriguing offer.
