VMI 2.22 Not Pictured

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Everyone graduates high school! Except for Weevil, who is arrested for Thumper’s murder.

  • Keith tracks down Woody to a hunting lodge and gets him arrested for child abuse!

  • While he’s doing that, Veronica identifies Woody’s third victim: Cassidy Casablancas…

  • Who, after stealing Mac’s clothes, gets ready to kill Veronica on the Neptune Grand roof…

  • But Logan saves Veronica, Veronica saves Logan, but nobody can saves Cassidy.

  • Elsewhere in the building, Aaron Echolls enjoys a post-coital cigar until Clarence Wiedman shoots him in the head.

  • Oh and Jackie’s not in Paris, she’s in New York City, waitressing and reuniting with the two-year-old son she’s apparently had this whole time.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs, Helen Zaltzman and Special Agent Alanna Bennett to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 22: Not Pictured, and probe such mysteries as Wallace’s glasses-wearing, whether Veronica would really be into Broadway and modern art, what Corny ends up doing in life, and what to use for a dramatic reveal if you don’t have a briefcase. Tote? Trash bag?

VMI 2.21 Happy Go Lucky

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • There have been some rough episodes of Veronica Mars, but this has to be one of the roughest. Aaron fucking Echolls is found innocent on all charges!

  • And it’s somehow something to do with Veronica getting chlamydia? Fuck! Off!!

  • Woody Goodman is revealed to be a child abuser, and some of the kids in the bus crash were his victims.

  • As was Lucky the janitor, who starts firing a gun at the school, then is shot dead.

  • Terrence Cook is exonerated from the bus crash, but condemned to work at the casino for at least a decade.

  • Jackie LEAVES without even saying goodbye.

  • And then, after all that trauma, Veronica has to take finals! It’s too much!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 21: Happy Go Lucky, delving into such mysteries as to whether Woody could have chosen a more disgusting password, what’s actually supposed to happen in court when someone shouts “Objection!” and why a load of physical evidence, witnesses and legal procedure <<< CHLAMYDIA. We have an XL edition of The LoDown to deal with all the legal bullshit in this episode.

VMI 2.20 Look Who's Stalking

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Helen’s hatred of the incorporation plot turns out to be JUSTIFIED as Woody Goodman uses it as an excuse to fuck over Keith! He can’t take his own unconscious young woman to the hospital, so a reluctant Keith has to do it.

  • But then Woody tells the papers that she was Keith’s unconscious young woman, and you don’t sell out a Mars without your big plan for incorporation failing - UP YOURS, Woody!

  • Also having beef with Woody is Lucky the janitor, who is stalking Gia Goodman as a result.

  • The prom is cancelled, so Logan throws an alterna-prom in his hotel suite, which is an opportunity for everyone to get dressed up, get drunk, and get romantic with each other - Loganica 2.0???? Oh, so close! But no.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 20: Look Who’s Stalking, and probe such mysteries as the artworks in medical premises, dates to the batting cage, party pigs, and the many talents of Krysten Ritter.

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 2.13 Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • It’s Neptune High’s winter carnival, to raise money for the school trip - but someone has stolen all the cash!

  • Who could it be? Weevil? While he’s taking his adorable niece around the funfair?

  • Jackie?? In the very brief moment when she’s not being plunged into a tank of cold water by vengeful students?

  • Logan??? No, he’s off flirting with the latest cute Neptune blonde girl Hannah, stealing her cotton candy and her heart, but with ulterior motives.

  • Random guy JB who really wants that Kane scholarship and just Veronica is standing in his way????

  • At least it’s definitely not Terrence Cook: he’s at the Mars office getting drunk with Keith, safe from being accused of more crimes, but not safe from Keith’s ruthless detectiving.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 13: Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough, and probe such mysteries as how big a stack of stolen cash is, why Weevil’s growing out his hair, and why everyone’s dunking on Jackie - as well as dunking Jackie.

VMI 2.07 Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • We have a new Duncan: Detective Duncan! Meg had written about a kid she babysat being psychologically abused, and he and Veronica set out to find who it is.

  • Veronica takes on all of Meg’s babysitting gigs, and let’s just say the toxic masculinity of Neptune is flourishing in the under-10s.

  • She also befriends Gia Goodman, which entails going to the sleepover of nightmares - if your nightmares include seeing a child punished, having your boobs mocked, and enduring some extremely basic-bore chat about pizza.

  • In all that free time Veronica has left over, she investigates the plastic surgeon who claims he witnessed Logan murdering Felix.

  • And the Casablancases deal with the repercussions of Richard’s scams and escape: the boys get trust funds, and Kendall gets nothing. And things aren’t looking good with her backup career of Logan. But… what about her backup backup Duncan?

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 7: Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner, and probe such mysteries as the French maid trope and the Milk Tray Man; which is more tedious at Gia’s sleepover, the boob insults and Pretty Woman chat or the pizza carbs chat; and why this episode would mention a bachelor auction fundraiser for the sheriff’s department but not actually show us the frantic bidding for a date with Lamb and Deputy Sacks. So cruel!!!
