Veronica Mars Investigations

Posts tagged affairs

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Real life Patty Hearst plays a fake Hearst; and real life kidnapped person Patty Hearst plays a fake kidnapped person. It’s all something to do with share prices and a rich-people divorce settlement and she AND her husband have both been having affairs with the dog walker?

Update on Frats vs Dreaded Feminists: head fratter Chip is found unconscious, with his head shaved and a plastic egg shoved up his bum with a cryptic message inside.
And the Dreaded Feminists make Veronica wonder whether all the rapes were fake, but NO, they were real, and the rapist has got Veronica cornered and drugged again.
The Dean hires Keith to investigate whether his wife Mindy is cheating on him with her colleague. She isn’t - but she is, of course, cheating on him with the Dean’s colleague Professor Landry.
And having confronted them in bed together, the Dean is found dead with a gunshot wound to the head. It’s ruled a suicide, but... is it actually murder?
And after all that, we’re actually relieved to sit through another stolen animals plot, wherein Veronica and Mac infiltrate an animal rights group to get back a lab monkey and twenty rats.
There’s even another culturally insensitive hat party!
But it’s all worth it, because Mac meets a cute guy!
And they get the monkey back!
(And the rats, but nobody cares about them. (Except Jenny.))

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 8, 9 and 10: Lord of the Spit Monkeys, and ponder such mysteries as how Dick is not banned from everywhere already, how this show made us feel bad for awful Chip, and why they don’t just keep Piz dancing instead of talking.

VMI 2.02 Driver Ed

**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, and why Duncan would offer to put Veronica on a ‘strict Nelly diet’ because she’s been listening to Radiohead.

VMI 2.01 Normal Is The Watchword

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

Keith’s got a book deal!
Veronica’s got a new job!
We’ve got a new Duncan - happy Duncan??!!
Wallace has got a problem with his urine…
Logan’s got a murder charge, a broken heart and no friends, but the Casablancases’ hot stepmom is there to cheer him up.
There are a whole load of new characters, and a new big tragedy for Neptune: a school bus crashes off a cliff.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 1 Normal is the Watchword, and try to crack such mysteries/pissteries as how Keith Mars got a book published so fast, where smart sassy Veronica disappeared to, whether pantsing takes down both under- and over-pants, and whether the Neptune Onlyplace is REALLY a cafe/restaurant/bar/karaoke joint, or merely an abandoned warehouse full of unusual light fixtures and decorative twigs.

Veronica Mars Investigations Investigations season 1

Here is a bonus episode investigating unsolved mysteries from Veronica Mars season 1, such as the prudence of hiding stuff in air vents, how long Lilly and Aaron had been involved and whether Lynn know about it, the appropriateness of having the hots for someone as often awful as Logan, whether Veronica speak Spanish well or not at all, when ARE Veronica and Leo’s birthdays, and whether the sanitary vending machine in Veronica’s toilet office actually vends.
