VMI 2.05 Blast from the Past

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 2.03 Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Cassidy Casablancas hired Veronica to investigate whether his stepmother Kendall is violating her prenup by cheating on his father.

  • Shock discovery 1: Kendall IS cheating with...Logan! Well, we all knew already, but they didn’t.

  • Shock discovery 2: Richard Casablancas’s property fortune is a great big scam!

  • Jackie’s into Wallace, possibly also into some other dude, but not into Pride and Prejudice and not even Colin Firth can bring her round.

  • Keith and Alicia go on a romantic minibreak to see some jazz, eat some beef, and collide with someone from Alicia’s past…

  • And there’s another karaoke scene, so adopt the brace position, you know the drill by now.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 3: Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang, and consider such mysteries as whether you could really get away with taking long lens photos in a small gym, what sexpeople have being doing to/with the lamps, and whether Veronica and Jackie are competing in a tiny-jacket-off (don't try to say this aloud).
