At Veronica's house, she surmises to Wallace, Mac and Piz. Moe was the set-up guy, he'd dose the victims, and get Mercer there. Moe drugged Veronica in 3x07 to provide an alibi for Mercer. The Pi Sigs had nothing to do with the whole mess. Veronica says she hasn't seen Logan.

A couple of days earlier, the Lilith house girls are celebrating the Fraternities getting kicked off campus. Dick and Logan enter, Dick mooning the Lilith house girls, then wandering off. Then Logan says he has to talk to Veronica - he breaks up with her, because he can't take being a disappointment anymore. He tells her he's still there if she needs anything, "but you never need anything."

In the Dean's office, he and Weevil discuss boxing, before Mindy enters to tell Cyrus that she and co-worker "Wally" have a business thing in Sacramento. They also switch cars - she gets the Volvo. Then, Mel Stoltz, Hearst's chief benefactor, who basically threatens O'Dell into reinstating the fraternities.

We do see Logan - smashing in a police car with a baseball bat. He's put in Mercer and Moe's jail cell, to do... well, we assume physical pain was involved.

In O'Dells office, Weevil enters - to find O'Dell dead from a gunshot wound over his computer.

At the party, Veronica gives her friends fake IDs. The rape-drug testing coasters the Pi Sigs are handing out are... not quite what Parker was handing out. She confronts Chip Diller about it, but he doesn't seem to care.
