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? Fvck! 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.

Content note: Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder, rape, child abuse, school shooting, and violence.
