Veronica Mars Investigations

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.
We meet Logan Echolls, a rich boy with a rage problem.
We meet Duncan Kane, a human screensaver.
We meet Wallace Fennel, taped to a flagpole then recruited to do Veronica’s bidding for the next several years. Wallace, we have seen the future and you should run! Now! Run!
We meet Sheriff Lamb, local law enforcement with bad jokes and even worse morals.
And we meet Keith Mars, disgraced ex-sheriff, private investigator and dad of the century - but why’s he being so weird about Veronica surveilling beige billionaire Jake Kane?

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.

At least things are delightful and cute and beautiful between Keith Mars and Alicia Fennel - but Clarence Wiedman’s about to ruin their bliss.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Something’s afoot at Neptune High - the bomb squad is sniffing around.
And there are two suspicious students: the one with a bedroom full of weapons…
…and the one who’s basically Christian Slater in Heathers, plus a car full of fertilizer and guns.
Also we meet another new Duncan: Disappearing Duncan. Where’s Duncan gone??
Meanwhile, there’s romance in the air: Keith and Wallace’s mom are dating!
Aaaand: there’s also the kiss that launched a thousand ’ships.

VMI 1.17 Kanes and Abel's

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

Veronica tracks down Abel Koontz’s daughter and hides her in a motel.
Veronica also grudgingly takes on the case of uppity student Sabrina, who is being harrassed to the detriment of her midterms.
Jake and Celeste Kane did some covering up on the night of Lilly’s death, with the help of Clarence Wiedman.
Who is all over the place spooking everybody in this episode, keeping it subtle and undercover by wearing a very noticeable hat.
And! There’s another PI in town - Vinnie Van Lowe. He has a fake moustache and no morals. But he sure can sing Hall and Oates like a champ.

VMI 1.16 Betty and Veronica

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

The school mascot, Polly the parrot, is missing!
A rival school’s mascot, Billy the goat, is also missing!
No longer missing, though: Veronica’s mom. But she’s not in a good way…
One person’s having a good time, at least: Wallace! He’s the toast of the basketball team, he’s getting high fived wherever he goes, and someone’s leaving cookies in his locker.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 16: Betty and Veronica, and consider such mysteries as when Veronica got good at baking, why Keith Mars has to say the phrase ‘making love’ a million times this episode, and which delivery company would handle an unstable box full of raw goat meat.

VMI 1.15 Ruskie Business

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

A Russian mail order bride wants Veronica to find her lost love, an actor named Tom Cruz. (Note: NOT Tom Cruise.)
Meg Manning wants Veronica to find the identity of her secret admirer - which rich white boy of Neptune could it be??
Logan’s on hotel stakeout in the hopes of finding his mom.
Keith is being tailed by two guys in terrible suits.
And could one of them lend Logan some pants?

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 15: Ruskie Business, and probe such mysteries as why Wallace is STILL unable to resist doing favours for Veronica when said favours earn him a reputation as a jockstrap-sniffer, whether Veronica just has a stack of bridezilla props ready to go, and whether we’d rather go to prom with “some kid with that high school kid look” or a trashcan with boobs.
