VMI 2.02 Driver Ed

Kevin Smith as convenience store clerk

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS

  • Veronica’s BUSY: serving coffee, investigating whether the driver crashed the bus deliberately, and ruining post-coital moments with Duncan.

  • So Detective Wallace handles a case all by himself, and guess what, it’s all in the hope of winning over the gorgeous but hostile Jackie - played by Tessa Thompson!

  • Logan fires guns with Mr Casablancas, and has sex with Mrs Casablancas - not at the same time.

  • Sheriff Lamb sucks SO much that Keith Mars decides to run for sheriff.

  • Kevin Smith shows up, as an opportunistic convenience store clerk selling bus crash souvenirs.

  • And a dead body washes up on the beach, on his palm is written VERONICA MARS - drink!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 2: Driver Ed, and to probe such mysteries as whether it’s legal for journalists to pose as high school students, whether it’s wise to go to a shooting range with someone if you’re sleeping with their spouse, how many styles they can make Jackie wear at once, why Duncan would offer to put Veronica on a ‘strict Nelly diet’ because she’s been listening to Radiohead, and is there any part of your body on which you CAN’T wear a necktie. We also start assembling a truly wretched bucket list.

CONTENT NOTE:
Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning suicide, mental health, murder, sex and vehicular crash.
