Is This Betty Ford We're Talking About?
Betty And Veronica - Because Veronica ends up checking her mom into rehab at the end of the episode. Before she does, however, we learn that Lianne was with Jake Kane when Lilly was officially killed, although that doesn't mean much. What could mean a lot, however, is that Jake and Celeste both clearly lied to Keith under interrogation. Also, Duncan and Meg are an item, Wallace is a basketball stud, and there's some business with a goat and a parrot. (Ew, not that kind of business.) |

"'Veronica Mars' Just Rolls Off The Tongue"
The Rob Thomas Interview, Part II - ...and so did a lot of other stuff, specifically off Rob Thomas's tongue, as he continued his lovely chat with TWoP. |

Sometimes Those Who Teach Can Also Do

Helping People Is Overrated
Ruskie Business - Veronica helps a Russian woman, which almost gets a man killed. She helps Meg, which ends up kind of breaking her heart. She helps Logan, which ends up totally breaking his heart. And she helps herself find her mom, which might result in tragedy. Helping people is about as much fun as colon cancer. That's why we never do it, anyway. |

Mars vs. Mars
Mars vs. Mars - Veronica and Keith face off over a teacher accused of sexual misconduct. Neither of them is completely right, which makes for an interesting story. Also, Veronica helps Logan try to find his mom, and Duncan has epilepsy. Aw, poor Donut. |

Seriously, "Weevil" Who?
Lord Of The Bling - Because this is another biker-less episode. A girl's disappearance leads us back to Backstory Land, as she was friends with Lilly and Veronica before Logan's lips got in the way. And speaking of Logan's lips, they ask Veronica to help him find his mom. He probably wants to cut them off for that, but the forum dwellers really wish he wouldn't. |

Hey, You Can Spell "Triton" Without "Trite"!
Clash Of The Tritons - There's a secret society at school called the Tritons, of which Duncan is a member. Veronica's led to believe that the Tritons framed her for a felony. Her investigation leads her to sing karaoke and get locked in the trunk of her car. A lot of people would prefer the latter to the former, I'm sure. But meanwhile, we learn that Weevil loved Lilly, that Logan blames Veronica for Lilly's death, and that Duncan lost some time around Lilly's murder. Also, it looks like Lynn Echolls kills herself. This show's steaming, people. Get on the train or get off the tracks. |

Mac's Daddy...
Silence Of The Lamb - ...ain't who she thinks it is, nor is her mom. She was switched at birth out of an 09er family. Bummer? Meanwhile, Veronica makes some interesting but also potentially dangerous inroads into the Lilly Kane case. And, to stop a serial killer, Keith has to partner up with Officer Fuckface. It's hard to say who's happier when that little experiment is over, but it certainly isn't the viewers. |

Pocket Rockets
An Echolls Family Christmas - Duncan and Logan finish a poker game by stripping down to their matching boxers in front of Weevil. In case other things matter to you, Haaron Echolls gets stabbed, and Veronica takes the boys for all they're worth. Which, seeing they're in their skivvies, is a fair amount. |

Brainwashing The Brainless
Drinking The Kool-Aid - An 09er jerkoff joins a cult and becomes a nice person. This causes his parents to go to any lengths to get him back to his old self, so they hire Mars Investigations. Veronica finds love and acceptance in the cult. Those bastards will do anything to further their evil agenda. Also, Veronica tries to find out who her real dad is. Then she doesn't. Aren't teenage girls unpredictable? |

Feels So Bad Inside
Like A Virgin - When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you call me a slut even though I've never so much as taken my bra off in mixed company. One of the 09er girls is nice to Veronica. Veronica is therefore wrongly accused of being a slut. Veronica exposes the bitches that perpetrated the smear campaign, which is cool, because they're...well, bitches. Less cool is what happens when Veronica goes to see Abel Koontz. She cries, and the world cries with her. Or at least the forums do. |

Her Name Is Luka...
The Girl Next Door - ...she lives on the second floor! She lives upstairs from Veronica! No you haven't seen her before! If you hear something late at night, some kind of trouble, some kind of fight! Just don't ask us what it was...because it was kind of predictable. But Weevil and Logan bring their respective charisma to bear on each other, and they're finally having fun, fun, fun. Also, they finally tell us when Duncan broke up with Veronica. Ssshhh. We'll tell you. Just not here. |

Melrose Law
Return Of The Kane - Real-life married couple Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin show up to play Logan's parents and, shock of shocks, it ain't The Waltons. Meanwhile, Duncan wins a school election, pleasing his dad. Less pleasing to his dad may be the revelation that Veronica and Keith get new evidence that might exonerate Lilly's accused killer. And Weevil gets less screen time than does anyone else in the credits. They really need to stop it with that. |

You take on a Mars, you've got to be dim. Keith's getting some action, which causes a fight. But he decides that Veronica's his light. And Veronica simply misses her mom.

You Gogo, Girl
The Wrath Of Con - Veronica dresses up like a Japanese schoolgirl to get close to some computer geeks who are using an email scam to get money to write a computer game. Sound dumb? Well, just between us, it is, a little bit. But the episode is rescued by a heaping helping of footage of Lilly Kane when she was alive, and now everyone understands what the fuss was about. By the memorial service at the end, you may even be crying. Weevil was. Really. |

He gets a shock, however, when Veronica finds out the dad isn't dead -- it's just his twig and berries that are. This is why you don't tell lies, kids. Also, Veronica wants Duncan, but she kisses Icetwin. Veronica, you coquette! |

Skank Side Story
Credit Where Credit's Due - Paris Hilton is rich and snotty and a two-timing skank. Coincidentally, so is her character in this episode: she's dating Logan and one of the bikers at the same time. Sound bad? Well, it isn't at all, actually. Hilton sucks, but everyone and everything else is really good, and by the end, Hilton is gone and we're pulled deeper into the Lilly Kane mystery. Smell ya later, Hilton! On second thought, ew. |

Veronica Mars...
Pilot - ...would kick Joey Potter's ass, which is the only reason we're willing to forgive people calling her "Veronica Mars" all the time. She's a high-schooler who's had a lot of stuff go wrong recently, but she's shrugged it all off and become a PI in the making, helping her dad, who's a PI in the annoying. And the town needs PIs, because it's got a lot of secrets. Hopefully UPN will stick with this show long enough for us to find out what they are. |
