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 2.10 One Angry Veronica

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • OMG, Meg gives birth to Duncan’s baby and then DIES.

  • And Wallace comes back from Chicago!

  • But that’s all in the last couple of minutes of the show!

  • Before that, we’ve got Veronica doing jury duty and ruining everyone else’s holidays in her pursuit of The Truth…

  • The sex tapes that implicate Aaron Echolls in Lilly Kane’s murder have been stolen from the evidence locker, and TWO of Veronica’s ex-boyfriends are involved…

  • And Lamb is shirtless and sweaty and loving himself, merrrry Christmas everyone.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 10: One Angry Veronica, and play judge and jury on such mysteries as the likelihood of Neptune being universally ridiculed as ‘Bozoville’, whether $50,000 is a high enough price for wrecking your whole career and a murder trial, why the Marses are so bad at not compromising evidence or tainting juries, and whether shirtless sweaty Lamb is hot or not.
