Veronica Mars Investigations

VMI 3.141516 Papa's Un-American Mars Bars

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Veronica’s in jail for helping Josh escape jail - though later she seems to get away with helping Josh get away with kidnapping, obtaining his inheritance early, and fleeing the country.
Even though Josh didn’tactually kill his dad - turns out his dad killed his dad, for life insurance purposes.
And, it turns out the Dean was killed by Lucky In A Wig, for framing Professor Landry purposes!
And, Professor Landry kills Mindy O’Dell! For writing both of them off the show purposes?
And, Sheriff Lamb is killed by Steve Batando! So Deputy Sacks kills Steve! And that’s the season finale of Veronica Mars- wait, there are still several episodes to go?
Keith is sheriff again, anyway.
At least somepeople are having fun: Mac, Bronson, Parker and Logan do a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt, and find a little romance on the way.
And Veronica and Piz get together! Pizvonica! A pairing as sizzling as lukewarm oatmeal.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 14, 15 and 16: Papa's Un-American Mars Bars, and delve into such mysteries as which Gilmore Girl Wallace is, why both Marses are worse when Keith is officially doing sheriff duties, and how this show's compulsion to make cultural references even infiltrates the last words of a dying man.

VMI 1.14: Mars vs Mars

**A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:**

Student Carrie Bishop claims that Mr Rooks, the best teacher at Neptune High, has had sex with her.
But Veronica is determined to prove Mr Rooks innocent! She doesn’t like Carrie, and she loves Mr Rooks’s wacky theatrical teacher tricks.
This puts her at odds with Keith all episode - we hate it when the Marses fight! But we love the very good prank he plays on Veronica.
Logan needs Veronica to prove that his mother is still alive.
And Veronica pays another visit to Abel Koontz on death row.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 14: Mars vs Mars, and crack such mysteries as whether there’s only one cafe in Neptune, whether a Teacher With Wacky Fun Teaching Methods actually makes you learn anything, if you can pay a visit to Death Row just for a mic drop moment, and why Veronica is channelling Sheriff Lamb this episode.

VMI 1.12: Clash of the Tritons

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:

There’s a secret society! Because where there are rich white boys, there are secret societies.
Someone is trying to pin a fake ID racket on Veronica. She didn’t do it!
What she is guilty of is being great at karaoke.
Duncan, however… not so much.
And even though you thought the Echolls family couldn’t get any bleaker, it gets a ton bleaker.

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, of course).
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.
