VMI 2.17 Plan B
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
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.

VMI 2.15 The Quick and the Wed
VMI 2.15 The Quick and the Wed

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Like all Wallace’s special ladyfriends, Jane requires Veronica’s services: her sister Heidi went missing after her own bachelorette party! And the wedding’s in three days!

  • Heidi’s got a rich fiance and a past, and these things are incompatible in the Marsverse.

  • Meanwhile, Aaron Echolls is back, marvelling at Kendall Casablancas’s boobs, and asking her for a favour that sends her rooting around in the shower drain.

  • She’s also trying to get Logan to invest in Cassidy’s booming property empire. But good luck with that: Logan’s busy dating Hannah and manipulating her parents.

  • A warrant is issued for Terrence Cook’s arrest, but then Keith finds some evidence that may prove his innocence - but then Terrence does something that makes him look really guilty again!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 15: The Quick and the Wed, and consider such mysteries as engagement rings being legally binding, Gollum bachelorettes, and Kendall Casablancas being some kind of sex Roomba.

VMI 2.14 Versatile Toppings
VMI 2.14 Versatile Toppings

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• After a year and a half of being a one-line character, Corny finally gets his own plotline! One that involves him getting tased by a serial mugger of pizza deliverers.
• Is the mugger also targeting Neptune High students who are gay and will pay blackmail money not to be outed?
• And is the mugger also targeting students in interracial relationships?
• Plus: Logan is dating Hannah to get at her father, the fake witness implicating him in Felix’s murder.
• Hannah’s none too pleased to be used, but nor is she pleased to find her dad’s coke stash.
• Keith meanwhile finds proof to exonerate Terrence Cook from the bus bombing…
•...but then Veronica finds some explosive evidence.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 14: Versatile Toppings, and consider such mysteries as why you’d give Veronica a PRINTOUT of a supposedly very secret confidential website, whether Veronica ever uses the toilet, and whether it’s our brain or the plot of this episode that is a stupid mess.
