13. Lord of the Bling

A man, Percy "Bone" Hamilton (Anthony Anderson), is relaxing by his pool. Soon, his son, Bryce (Jermaine Williams), approaches and says that Yolanda (Jowharah Jones), Bryce's sister and Bone's daughter, has disappeared. Later, Bone enters Mars Investigations and looks for Keith. Wallace (Percy Daggs III) tells Veronica that Bone is a criminal and gangsta rap record company owner. Veronica says that she used to be friends with Yolanda. Keith eventually decides to take up the case, and Bone has a list of people to whom Keith should talk because of rifts between Bone and them.

Later, Veronica offers to gather information about Yolanda, which Keith accepts. In a flashback, Veronica helps Yolanda find her English class. Keith visits the first person on Bone's list, Sam Bloom (Bruce Nozick). Veronica talks to Yolanda's friend, Gabrielle (Monique Coleman), and she finds out that the two were at a club the night of her disappearance. Keith is going to investigate Marcel, the club bouncer who was another one of the enemies on Bone's list. Veronica is eventually allowed to come on the condition that she stays in the car.

Keith talks to Marcel, who recommends that he talks to "Dime Bag" (Sam Sarpong), number two on the enemies list. However, they don't find Dime Bag there. Keith sneaks his way into Dime Bag's hotel room in disguise as a mechanic while Veronica waits outside.

While Keith is in the room, Dime Bag and his posse appear and demand a better room from the desk clerk. Veronica pretends to be a hotel worker so she can bug the new room. She and Keith then hear their conversation. Meanwhile, Logan (Jason Dohring) and Aaron (Harry Hamlin) get ready for Lynn's (Lisa Rinna) funeral and have a fight in front of the paparazzi. Veronica visits Yolanda's younger brother, who thinks that she has been kidnapped, not simply disappeared. In another flashback, Veronica sees Yolanda kissing Logan and tells Lilly (Amanda Seyfried) about it. Lilly says that they must stop being friends with her. Bone calls Dime Bag, and he says that he knows where Yolanda is. However, it is later revealed through the bug that they are not hiding Yolanda.

Veronica and Wallace find out that Sam Bloom has a son, Benjamin, who was with Yolanda at the club the night of her disappearance. When Logan sits in his room and plays video games during Lynn's funeral, Duncan talks to him, and Logan expresses his belief that his mother is not dead, but simply "escaped". Veronica calls Benjamin's roommate under a guise, and he says that Benjamin left alone for Las Vegas, which means that Sam was lying about his whereabouts. In another flashback, Veronica abandons Yolanda for Lilly. Bone comes to Keith with a ransom note for $500,000. However, the drop location is already specified and the area is under heavy surveillance. Bone believes that Dime Bag is the kidnapper.

During the drop, Bone places his pinkie ring inside of a plastic football and shoves it down the drain per the "kidnapper's" orders. However, Keith and Veronica find Bryce at the other end of the storm drain, as he intercepts the plastic football at the beach. He explains that he planned the whole thing to earn his father's respect, and that Yolanda wasn't kidnapped, but ran off to Vegas. Keith, Veronica, and Bryce talk to Bone and his wife. The three get Yolanda up on a Skype -like camera. She says that she has run off to marry Benjamin Bloom. Yolanda says that she won't come back until Bone's feud with Sam Bloom is over. Later, Veronica calls Yolanda again and apologizes to her for leaving her, and she accepts.
