somedaybitchthe roomie and i have been rewatching season one of VM. the ep where Logan and Veronica get caught by Aaron necking on the sofa. Aaron was so genuinely sweet to them both, and then when Dick and Cassidy show up Aaron helps Logan cover up Veronica's presence, and then gives Veronica a ride home. the conversation in the car that follows is Aaron genuinely concerned how Logan's doing, and seems to be honestly happy that Logan has found someone, and not in a creepy way.
so..the wonder...not that Aaron isn't capable of murder, especially given his behavior with Veronica in the season finale, but....what if Aaron really didn't kill Lilly?
think about what's been going on with Aaron this season; Logan destroys the tapes, the only evidence that gives Aaron an actual motive; the fact that there continues to be a running subplot about Aaron at all, and that it's Aaron continuing to profess his innocence.
i mean, if you simply want to keep Aaron in the mind of the viewers for some reason, why do it that way if Aaron really killed Lilly? there's no witnesses to the murder. Aaron didn't seem that heated when he confronted her by the pool. why would he go for a heavy ashtray when he could have simply punched her? or for that matter, intimidated her, or hell, seduced her again? we only have Veronica's perception of the event. also, rewatching the scene in the car right now, Aaron again didn't seem that heated prior to when Veronica crashed the car. granted, there's still Aaron's assault on the homeowner, and of Veronica and of Daddy Mars, but i'm wondering if that came from the rage triggered? and no where in his monologuing when Veronica's in the freezer did Aaron ever admit to actually killing Lilly, just that he wasn't going to let a 17yr old ruin his life. and then he doesn't light the gasoline until he needs to get away, and then he tells Keith she's in the freezer. he didn't have to. granted, Keith could have still found her, but Aaron still didn't have to. he used it as a diversion.
so then, if Aaron really didn't kill Lilly, and Lilly had "a secret", what if the secret was something else? and of course, i'm thinking of Mayor Inapropriate Touching here. consider how Veronica was portrayed prior to Lilly's death, how sweet and naive. i don't know that i believe Lilly would have told Veronica about sleeping with Aaron.
and randomly, i miss Logan's inspirational messages.
also? everyone should have a pitbull named Backup.
