VMI 1.08: Like A Virgin
A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:
A purity test has caused chaos at Neptune High, as students are shamed for their sexual behaviour (if they're female - they’re lauded for it if they're male).
We meet Wallace's mom! And Wallace mom's shitty lodger, who won't leave!
That is, until Keith Mars goes full Papa Bear on him.
And Veronica comes face to face with Lilly's convicted killer.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 8: Like a Virgin, and consider such mysteries as what it would be like to get the birds and the bees talk from Keith Mars, whether Duncan really has any idea of what he’s talking about, whether barking like a dog is truly the best tactic to achieve an eviction, and why Veronica keeps on committing offences that would land her on the sex offender register.
