I'm also extremely confused at what happened with the entire Keith-Kendall-someotherguy thing.
It wasn't very well explained, but this is what I think happened:
Keith picked up Cormac Fitzpatrick (Liam's brother and Kendall's boyfriend/con partner) from prison when he was released early. Keith took Cormac to the house in the desert where he'd taken Kendall right after the end of last season.
Liam thought that he deserved a cut of what Kendall and Cormac had made on their last con (Kendall marrying the elder Smurf Casablancas and getting Cassidy's money, by my best guess, but I could be wrong). He knew that Kendall had been working with Keith, and hired Vinnie Van Lowe to plant a bug in Keith's briefcase (the pen).
When Keith went out of the house to get Cormac's fake passport, he discovered the bug. He wanted to warn Cormac and Kendall about Liam, but Liam got there first. Liam presumably shot Kendall. Judging by the way Cormac said she "wasn't" a very good judge of character, I'm going to assume she's dead until I hear otherwise. Cormac believed that Keith was working for Liam, so he shot him.
So, Keith is sitting in the desert waiting for death now. He will live, because he's a regular and it's only the first episode.

In other news, I honestly didn't notice that the new TA guy, Tim Foyle, was played by James Jordan (Lucky from last season) until the third time I watched the episode. Okay, Rob Thomas was completely and utterly right about bringing him back. James Jordan is really talented.
So, who are your suspects for the first mystery?
Mine are:
Professor Landry
Tim Foyle
The dean from last season, for a twist
Someone we haven't met yet
For the red herrings:
Sheriff Lamb ("She's 18--it's legal!" will come back to haunt him.)
Richard "Smurf" Casablancas (Hee. I like calling him Smurf.)
The Welcome Wagon Guy
Various frat boys
