Veronica Mars Investigations

VMI 4.02 Chino and the Man

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

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.
And Dick Casablancas is an action movie star now! Sure, why not.

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

Veronica and Jackie sort of become friends when Jackie asks Veronica to find out who stole her credit card and bought a load of vanilla-scented candles.
But they are promptly enemies again when Jackie humiliates Veronica during a televised psychic reading, AND slow-dances with Logan.
That’s not even the worst thing our blessed Wallace is dealing with this episode, as he reels from the information that for the past 18 years, his mother covered up who his father is.
The contest is heating up between Sheriff Lamb vs past and maybe future Sheriff Mars, and Lamb has found a way to pin the bus crash on Keith.
And it’s time for the Homecoming dance - no emotionally cathartic skinnydipping this time, just emotionally painful fallout.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 5: Blast From The Past, and consider such mysteries as why it’s kinda pleasing to have Lamb back even though he’s pure awful; what it means to be not the brightest bulb on the bush; and whether it is prudent to google ‘Celebrity Boners and Gaffes’, spoiler no it is not.

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.
