  • Pizza delivery Penn is making the most of his post-bombing notoriety - he’s on TV accusing Congressman Daniel Maloof of murdering his brother’s girlfriend Tawny!

  • Matty from the motel is doing her own detectiving - maybe whoever refilled the vending machine put some exploding gum in there! Her investigation leads her to Liam Fitzpatrick urghhhh, but phew, Veronica rescues her.

  • And the Maloofs are rescued from Tawny’s violent family by Logan doing some professional punching.

  • He also punches his kitchen cabinet, as Veronica is hot for angry violent Logan, not reasonable calm Logan who is taking therapy seriously.

  • In other news, Big Dick has a ‘Big Dick’ tattoo, and a mysterious prison buddy and fixer Clyde. We don’t know what Clyde’s deal is, we just know that he definitely has one.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Rock star Paul Rudd is here to play a show at Hearst College, to fundraise for Piz’s awful radio station - but oh no! His backing tapes are missing! Presumed stolen! They’re not. A crime-free mystery!

  • New campus celebrity Apollo has written a hit memoir about being a child soldier in Uganda - but WAS he? - and Veronica is hired by someone claiming to be his dad - but IS he? Yes to both. Another crime-free mystery! How relaxing.

  • Until! Remember when Weevil was falsely accused of stealing Veronica’s necklace, and falsely accused of stealing the fairground cash box, and… anyway, in today’s edition of “Let’s fuck up Weevil for no good reason,” he’s accused of making fake IDs.

  • Someone has leaked a sex tape of Pizvonica! Nobody wants to see that! Especially not Logan, who beats up Piz.

  • Acting Sheriff Mars is investigating a string of Fitzpatricky burglaries, that threaten his sheriff campaign AND his friendship with Cliff.Vinnie is also running for Sheriff, and might be involved in the burglaries too?

  • And Big Dick Richard Casablancas is back to spend some time with Little Dick before going to prison for all his crimes in the first two seasons. And at long last, Dick Casablancas shows some human emotions.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 17, 18 and 19: I Know Weevil's Wobble Tapes, and consider such mysteries as what Wallace has been up to in all the time he has not been on screen, what a Weevil-based Law & Order spinoff would be like, and whether that's Rob Thomas in a wig? After all the wigs he has inflicted on others!

VMI 3.050607 President Infidelity of Vice and Men

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • The Dean’s wife’s son is dying and they need Keith to track down her ex-husband and extract his bone marrow. By force, if need be!

  • The college casino is robbed! Veronica thinks it was Weevil…

  • Turns out, Claire faked her rape. But the rapist is still real, still out there, and drugs and shaves Veronica.

  • Professor Landry’s new teacher’s pet is Veronica, so his old teacher’s pet, Tim, makes it look like she cheated on a paper.

  • Other people ARE cheating, though: Wallace and Logan, on tests, and the Dean’s wife, on the Dean…with Professor Landry!

  • Someone we don’t know, Meryl, comes to Hearst College to visit her boyfriend whom we also don’t know, so we don’t care that he’s missing, nor that he turns up - but we definitely don’t like having to stop in on the Fitzpatricks along the way.

  • And Keith and Harmony are spending time together again. There’s a not a lot of plot but there’s a lot of HOT!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 5, 6 and 7: President Infidelity of Vice and Men, and probe such mysteries as how many crimes you’re committing by kidnapping someone and extracting their bone marrow, where is our app with Cliff just shouting words three times, and WTF Veronica and Logan are dressed as for Halloween.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Veronica infiltrates a sorority to investigate Parker’s rape, and instead finds a secret medical marijuana farm.

  • The ongoing campus rapist plot boils down to frats versus feminists. The two genders!

  • Wallace and Logan participate in some recreation of the Stanford Prison Experiment, and unfortunately we have to endure it with them.

  • Weevil is back! And starts working for Keith! But then punches a suspect, so he’s fired.

VMI 3.01 Welcome Wagon

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • College! Veronica’s outsmarting her professors, driving a new car, and getting drunk. Conveniently, Logan, Wallace, Mac and Dick are also all at Hearst College.

  • Along with new roommates/friends: bland white boy Piz, who hires Veronica to find all his worldly possessions, which have been stolen by a fake welcome committee; and Parker, who is punished for being a popular and fun-loving sexperson character by becoming the latest victim of the campus rapist who struck in season 2, and is still attacking women and shaving their heads.

  • Keith, meanwhile, is picking up Cormac Fitzpatrick from prison and taking him to a desert safe house to reunite with Kendall Casablancas.

  • Being a Fitzpatrick, though, he’s a violent jerk; so, Kendall is murdered, and Keith might be also. TBD.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episode 1: Welcome Wagon, and consider such mysteries as whether Logan is right that it wasn’t possible to make Veronica more butch, why Lucky the dead season 2 janitor has turned up as an academic in a terrrrrible wig, and when Dick Casablancas learned to cartwheel. Plus we reunite with some old friends: tiny jackets, Brigadoon references, the black and white argyle shirt, and an actual Chekhov’s Gun!

VMI 2.19 Nevermind the Buttocks

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • We meet another misfit Neptune boy with a hobby for weapons: Harry! Who has a bedroom full of arrows, a wall full of stag heads, and a dog that was killed by a driver of a green Barracuda car…

  • ...which belongs to an old lady who doesn’t drive it, but guess who does? Liam fucking Fitzpatrick! To run his errands, such as:
    i. Trying to kill Keith Mars, but instead getting whupped by our favourite power dad;
    ii. Bullying the PCHers so they bring in more drug money;
    iii. Mooning Gia Goodman;
    iv. And being in league with Kendall Casablancas, who has a criminal record, a secret house, AND an identity she stole off a girl who died in car crash?!

  • Oh and just in case you thought the Lilly Kane murder case was solved last season, here it is again, as Aaron’s Oscar has been dug up from the Kane garden, with Lilly’s blood and Duncan’s hair on it!

VMI 2.17 Plan B

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Logan wins Woody Goodman’s essay contest! And the prize is a really boring-looking job at the mayor’s office, spotting Woody in the gym and sorting the mail…

  • ...But then he finds creepy secret video taken from within Woody’s house!

  • He also gets to plunge the detonator to explode Shark Field…

  • …With Thumper inside, chained to a urinal by some angry Fitzpatricks after, at long last, something goes Weevil’s way.

  • And it’s the school Sadie Hawkins dance, and what are school dances for if nobody kisses someone they weren’t supposed to be kissing, WALLACE?!?

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 17: Plan B, and consider such mysteries as how many different ways can you pronounce ‘urinal’, where to buy chloroform, and why this show insists on making Jenny watch Lamb and Woody doing reps but not anyone she wants to see doing reps doing reps.

VMI 2.16 The Rapes of Graff

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • It’s the return of two of our season 1 least faves: sex crimes, and TROY.

  • Veronica’s not pleased to see him either, but does agree to help him when he’s accused of raping a Hearst College student and shaving her head.

  • This entails infiltrating a frat house, which seems like the worst place in the world?

  • Meanwhile Cliff has been handcuffed to a bed by a sex worker and had his briefcase stolen, full of evidence about Logan’s murder case.

  • And Sheriff Lamb and Madison Sinclair are hooking up?? Two wrongs do make a... wrong.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 16: The Rapes of Graff, and consider such mysteries as why you would drunkenly puke into Helen’s mother’s boots, how does Veronica print out photos in the brief moment between scenes, and would you rather: Sheriff Lamb or Dick Casablancas? OK fine, you don’t have to make that satanic choice, unlike Madison Sinclair.
