VMI 1.01 Pilot: the RErecap

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • We meet Veronica Mars! High school detective with tiny jackets and flowbee hair, plus a heartbreak, an absent mother, a murdered best friend and a rape to deal with.

  • Wallace got duct taped to the school flagpole by Weevil

  • Logan smashed Veronica’s headlights with a crowbar
