Changes: An Echolls Family Christmas

Revision as of 04:28, 9 July 2010

"An Echolls Family Christmas" is episode 11 of season 1. It aired as the 10th episode, and is the 10th on the DVDs, but it was intended to be the 11th, and makes more sense this way.

Plot

When the winnings of a poker game between Weevil, Duncan, Logan, and other 09ers goes missing, Veronica decides to investigate. Keith also investigates the apparent stalker that Aaron Echolls seems to have before it ruins his Christmas party.

Arc significance

Veronica confronts Jake Kane at the party about the pictures sent to her mom. Jake denies knowing about them, but leaves while grabbing Celeste and saying, "What did you do?" to her.
Aaron Echolls is stabbed by a jealous former lover, which results in his wife learning of her husband's infidelity with other women.

Quotes and trivia

Veronica: Hey.

Weevil: See, there you go with that head-tilt thing. You know, you think you're all badass, but whenever you need something it's all, "Hey."

Veronica: Just be glad I don't flip my hair. I'd own you.

Logan: This is why I suggested attack dogs. But no, my mother wanted an alpaca.

[Veronica and Weevil load their plates at the elegant Echolls Christmas party.]

Weevil: Seriously, don't I just blend right in? Come on. Where's Weevil?

Logan: Ho....Ho....

[Looks at Veronica.]

Logan: Ho.

[Weevil stomps on Logan's books.]

Logan: If you're asking me to the prom again, the answer is still no.

Weevil: You're concerned? I'm the one who's gotta go up into the hills, all by myself. What if I run into a pack of you white boys, eh, on some clean, well lit street. I could be bored to death.

Logan: Fine. It's a thousand dollars in ten crisp one hundred dollar bills.

[Weevil starts to walk away]

Logan: We don't take food stamps.

Weevil: Ouch, you got me.

Logan: Do you even know how to play poker?

Veronica: No. But it must be really hard if all you guys play it.

The closing line, "No, Veronica, there is no Santa Claus" is a reference to the classic essay "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus".
