A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• Veronica infiltrates a sorority to investigate Parker’s rape, and instead finds a secret medical marijuana farm.

• The ongoing campus rapist plot boils down to frats versus feminists. The two genders!

• Wallace and Logan participate in some recreation of the Stanford Prison Experiment, and unfortunately we have to endure it with them.

• Weevil is back! And starts working for Keith! But then punches a suspect, so he’s fired.

• Logan discovers some financial irregularities that reveal that he has a secret half-brother!

• Loganica are having problems, because he likes playing poker and she likes The Arts and putting trackers on him.

• Plus: some SPORTSBALL problem; a Fitzpatrick kills another Fitzpatrick; Veronica has a new job in the library SHH NO TALKING; and Keith takes a case for a hot lady.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episodes 2, 3 and 4: My Big Fat Wichita Linebacker Don’t Surf, and dig into such mysteries as how and why a professor would do a Stanford Prison Experiment-esque study; whether traps on your boobs are booby traps; and why the Chippendales landed on shirt closures as their sexy outfit of choice.

Content note: Veronica Mars contains heavy themes, and this episode includes storylines concerning murder, rape, violence, drugs, anti-semitism, and abusive parents.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• College! Veronica’s outsmarting her professors, driving a new car, and getting drunk. Conveniently, Logan, Wallace, Mac and Dick are also all at Hearst College.

• Along with new roommates/friends: bland white boy Piz, who hires Veronica to find all his worldly possessions, which have been stolen by a fake welcome committee; and Parker, who is punished for being a popular and fun-loving sexperson character by becoming the latest victim of the campus rapist who struck in season 2, and is still attacking women and shaving their heads.

• Keith, meanwhile, is picking up Cormac Fitzpatrick from prison and taking him to a desert safe house to reunite with Kendall Casablancas.

• Being a Fitzpatrick, though, he’s a violent jerk; so, Kendall is murdered, and Keith might be also. TBD.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 3 episode 1: Welcome Wagon, and consider such mysteries as whether Logan is right that it wasn’t possible to make Veronica more butch, why Lucky the late season 2 janitor has been reincarnated as an academic in a terrrrrible wig, and when Dick Casablancas learned to cartwheel. Plus we reunite with some old friends: tiny jackets, Brigadoon references, the black and white argyle shirt, and an actual Chekhov’s Gun!

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.

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.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• We meet another misfit Neptune boy with a hobby for weapons: Harry, who has a bedroom full of arrows, a wall full of stag heads, and a dog that was killed by a driver of a green Barracuda car…

• ...which belongs to an old lady who doesn’t drive it, but guess who does? Liam fucking Fitzpatrick, to run his errands, such as:
  i. Trying to kill Keith Mars, but instead getting whupped by our favourite power dad;
  ii. Bullying the PCHers so they bring in more drug money;
  iii. Mooning Gia Goodman;
  iv. And being in league with Kendall Casablancas, who has a criminal record, a secret house, AND an identity she stole off a girl who died in car crash?!

• Oh and just in case you thought the Lilly Kane murder case was solved last season, here it is again, as Aaron’s Oscar has been dug up from the Kane garden, with Lilly’s blood and Duncan’s hair on it!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 19: Nevermind The Buttocks, and consider mysteries such as whether any of the Duncans are sexpeople, how you’d get a long-dead person’s blood onto a burned-up Oscar statuette, what Keith Mars’s Power Dad training regimen involves, and Jenny’s new feature Accidental Porn Dialogue in Veronica Mars.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• All that bus crash investigating and trying to win the Kane scholarship has left Veronica a very tired teen; she’s falling asleep in class!
• And having vivid dreams about the bus crash kids - now what’s worse, hearing all about someone else’s dreams, or that the show brought back Miss James to hear all about Veronica’s dreams?
• She’s not getting back together with Keith, though - he’s off on dates! Lots of dates. But the work always comes first.
• But there is one lovely new couple: Wallace and Logan! They are paired together for a science experiment to keep an egg from breaking. Is that part a dream? Am I awake right now? Who is egg?

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 18: I Am God, and face such mysteries as why Wallace and Logan haven’t been BFFs and partners in egg till now, dating for farmers, Dick’s bleach gun (not a euphemism), why so much interesting stuff happens off screen, and what this episode is FOR.

Hear about Chuck E Cheese and his arch rival in kids’ pizza joints, the Showbiz Pizza undead bear; Xena, Warrior Princess’s horse; why Jenny doesn’t trust birds; Westworld for kids; and the story of Jenny and Helen’s meet-cute over decidedly non-cute Tim Tam Slam wreckage.

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

• Logan wins Woody Goodman’s essay contest! And the prize is a really boring-looking job at the mayor’s office, spotting Woody in the gym and sorting the mail.
• ...but then he finds creepy secret video taken from within Woody’s house!
• He also gets to plunge the detonator to explode Shark Field…
• …With Thumper inside, chained to a urinal by some angry Fitzpatricks after, at long last, something goes Weevil’s way.
• And it’s the school Sadie Hawkins dance, and what are school dances for if nobody kisses someone they weren’t supposed to be kissing, WALLACE?!?

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 17: Plan B, and consider such mysteries as how many different ways can you pronounce ‘urinal’, where to buy chloroform, and why this show insists on making Jenny watch Lamb and Woody doing reps but not anyone she wants to see doing reps doing reps.
