8. Ahoy, Mateys!

Duncan (Teddy Dunn) has a dream involving Meg (Alona Tal) and Veronica. Duncan wakes up to hear Veronica reporting her findings about Dr. Griffith (Rick Peters) to Logan, including that he was reprimanded for doing illegal surgery on a man named Danny Boyd. Duncan puts Meg’s letter from the previous episode into a drawer. At school, a boy confronts Weevil (Francis Capra), demanding the cocaine he ordered from 'some biker dude'. Weevil denies knowledge of the drug deal. At Mars Investigations Keith (Enrico Colantoni) meets with the parents of Marcos Oliveres, a student who died in the bus crash.

The Oliveres report they are being harassed with reminders of their son’s death and they need proof of who is behind it. Logan drives Veronica to meet Danny Boyd (Taylor Sheridan). Boyd leads her to The River Styx, a local bar heavily patronized by the Fitzpatrick crime family. Boyd explains Dr. Griffith was reprimanded for giving him stitches after a bar fight. A man confronts Danny, demanding to know why he brought Veronica into the bar. Veronica's identity is outed and she is attacked by the man, who demands to know the real reason she is there. Logan barges in, announcing he has called 911, and then forces Veronica's release by holding the man at gunpoint.

Keith tells Veronica that Marcos's parents believe they are being harassed by the school administration so they drop their lawsuit. Keith asks Veronica about Marcos, and she admits she didn't know him. Veronica asks around about Marcos at school, but no one really remembers him. However, Veronica receives an anonymous email about Marcos from someone claiming to have a jealous boyfriend. Keith gives Veronica an MP3 player paid for by the Neptune School District that he found broadcasting Marcos’s voice in Mrs. Oliveres’s car. Veronica confronts the principal, but he denies any knowledge of the harassment.

Veronica gives the MP3 player to Mac (Tina Majorino), who recognizes Marcos' voice as that of 'Captain Crunk', one of the co-anchors of a popular pirate radio show. The show was mostly about roasting various Neptune High students, leading Veronica to conclude a large number of people could have had it out for Marcos. Mac tells Veronica she stopped listening after the show went on a 4-week break and 'Captain Crunk' wasn't on it anymore when it returned.

Veronica confronts Weevil about her belief that he set up Tom Griffith for a favor from the Fitzpatrick family, of which Danny Boyd is a member. However, Weevil denies being behind the scheme. Weevil realizes one or more members of his gang are going behind his back, and warns them he will find out who. Later, Weevil talks to a biker, who admits he lied to the police and didn't actually see Logan stab Felix. Veronica and Mac track the origin of the radio signal to a house, only to be shocked when Vice-Principal Clemmons answers the door.

They lie about needing to see his son, Vincent, to get into the house. Veronica and Mac find radio equipment in Vincent’s basement room, confirming he is the other host of the pirate radio show. Vincent tells them that Marcos quit the show after going to summer camp, but Vincent doesn't know why. Mr. Oliveres is unhappy with Keith’s suggestion the harassment is unrelated to the lawsuit. Veronica does some digging and finds that Marcos's parents sent him to a conversion therapy camp.

Keith stakes out the Oliveres's house while they are away and finds a neighbor going into the Oliveres’ house using their security code to get some beer from their kitchen. However, that is apparently normal for him. Keith finds a toy school bus in their fish tank and the security code scribbled on the back of a piece of scrap paper from the law firm representing the school district. Logan is kidnapped by masked bikers, who subject him to torture by playing Russian roulette with various parts of his body.

Logan swears that he does not remember the night Felix was murdered, and he is let go. Logan manages to steal a cell phone from one of the bikers, which he uses to call Weevil and threaten him. Veronica talks to Vincent about Marcos being gay, but Vincent insists Veronica is wrong and that Marcos was almost beaten up by a jealous boyfriend, which reminds Veronica of the email she received. Keith informs Mr. Oliveres that he can prove someone in the Oliveres family is responsible for the last toy bus and the security code on the paper from the school's law firm, and they should take the settlement.

Veronica goes to the house of the girl with the “jealous boyfriend”. She finds the email was sent by a teenage boy named Ryan, and that he is also responsible for the harassment. Ryan explains that he was in love with Marcos. Marcos’s parents saw them flirting, which caused them to send Marcos to the conversion therapy camp. After attending the camp Marcos became depressed. When he died in the bus crash Ryan took revenge on Marcos's parents by haunting their memories. Duncan has another dream about Meg. When he wakes up he opens her letter and says "Oh my God!"
