Episode 17: Debasement Tapes

This one starts with Veronica and Wallace watching a Joan Crawford movie (for Wallace’s Film Studies class) and talking about Veronica and Piz’s big smooch last episode. Apparently Veronica kinda freaked out after Logan saw her and Piz kissing, so she took off. Piz called her (once) the next day, but she hasn’t heard anything since and wonders if Piz is pining for her. Wallace says Piz seems just fine, which isn’t quite the response Veronica wanted.

Episode 14: Mars, Bars

Last episode, Veronica was arrested for helping Josh Barry escape from jail, where he was being held for supposedly killing his father, Coach Tom Barry. Apparently, Josh was allergic to the peanut butter cookies Veronica brought him and when an EMT gave him an Epi shot, Josh overpowered him and jumped out of the ambulance. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 14”

Episode 13: Postgame Mortem

This one starts with some half-time drama at the basketball game. Hearst is getting killed, so the coach (Tom Barry) harangues the team, giving his own son (Josh) some extra motivational vitriol. Unfortunately, that motivates Josh to quit, which doesn’t do the team much good for the rest of the game. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 13”

Episode 12: There’s Got To Be a Morning Pill After

This one starts with Veronica having a nightmare about Logan banging Madison Sinclair, a nightmare Veronica’s been having ever since she found out about Madison and Logan hooking up while Logan and Veronica were broken up. It’s not just that Madison’s an asshole … Madison is the one who roofied Veronica at Shelly’s party a few years back, which led to her getting raped. So the thought of Logan and Madison together literally sickens Veronica. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 12”

Episode 11: Poughkeepsie, Tramps, and Thieves

This one starts with Veronica and Logan in the Hearst cafeteria and they’re definitely back together. After Logan leaves, Weevil sits down and Veronica shows him an article in the Hearst Lampoon about their offices, a statue, and the Pi Sigma frat house all getting egged the night Dean O’Dell died. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 11”

Episode 10: Show Me the Monkey

This one starts about six weeks after the last episode, with Mindy O’Dell coming to see Keith at his office. She insists her husband (Cyrus O’Dell, Dean of Hearst College, who was found dead at the end of last episode) didn’t kill himself; she says her infidelity would’ve made him morose and he might’ve even divorced her, but he’d never commit suicide. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 10”

Episode 9: Spit and Eggs

This one starts in medias res, with Piz and Mac at a big party wondering where Veronica is. Veronica’s currently running through the empty halls of the dorm, frantically hammering at Piz’s door. But Piz isn’t there, so Veronica collapses on the floor and we see blood on her face. Some dude walks up beside her, but we don’t see who it is. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 9”

Episode 8: Lord of the Pi’s

This one starts with a couple of dudes playing frisbee and literally stumbling over Chip Diller, head of Pi Sigma fraternity. Chip is unconscious and he’s has been stripped to his underwear and had his head shaved. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 8”

Episode 7: Of Vice and Men

This one starts with Veronica collecting some clothes and stuff from home and trying to sneak out. No, she’s not shacking up with Logan, she’s just being all judgmental about her dad banging Harmony (who’s married) and doesn’t want to live with him right now. (Veronica is mad at Logan too, since he swears Mercer has an alibi for the third rape, but refuses to tell her where they were or what they were doing.) Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 7”

Episode 6: Hi, Infidelity

This one starts in Dean O’Dell’s office, where he’s giving Claire shit for faking being raped. Apparently, Veronica took the evidence to the alternative newspaper, since Nish refused to print it in the regular paper. O’Dell expels Claire and tells Nish she’s done as editor of the paper. Nish swears she’ll get back at O’Dell and Veronica. Continue reading “Veronica Mars Reviews: Season 3, Episode 6”
