With Aaron Echolls' (recurring guest star HARRY HAMLIN) trial concluding, tensions rise as Veronica, Keith and Logan take the witness stand to testify against him. Meanwhile, after Veronica finds a suspicious e-mail in Woody's (recurring guest star STEVE GUTTENBERG) computer, Keith turns to the sheriff with evidence to arrest Woody. But Lamb refuses, believing that Keith is trying to turn him into a laughingstock. Also, to everyone's surprise, Neptune High's janitor brings a gun into school with the intent of finding Gia Goodman (recurring guest star KRYSTEN RITTER), Woody's daughter.

After tragedy strikes the town of Neptune, and the local sheriff rushes to judgment, an emotional Veronica attempts to help a grieving family member rule out suicide as a contributing cause in the calamity. Meanwhile, Wallace offers to help new transfer student Jackie Cook, the fiery, flirty daughter of professional baseball player Terrance Cook (recurring guest star JEFFERY SAMS), track down the person who damaged her car in the school parking lot. Later, mayoral candidate Woody Goodman (recurring guest star STEVE GUTTENBERG) asks Keith to consider running for sheriff. Recurring guest star CHARISMA CARPENTER appears as frisky trophy wife Kendall Casablancas, and director/actor KEVIN SMITH ("Clerks") guest stars as convenience store clerk Duane Anders. The feisty U.K. all-girl band The Faders make their U.S. debut with the world premiere of their new video for "No Sleep Tonight."
