Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to celebrate the first year of Veronica Mars Investigations, with a parade of outtakes and outdated technologies. 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.

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.
Read MoreIt’s the return of two of our season 1 least faves: sex crimes, and TROY.
Veronica’s not pleased to see him either, but does agree to help him when he’s accused of raping a Hearst College student and shaving her head.
This entails infiltrating a frat house, which seems like the worst place in the world?
Meanwhile Cliff has been handcuffed to a bed by a sex worker and had his briefcase stolen, full of evidence about Logan’s murder case.
And Sheriff Lamb and Madison Sinclair are hooking up?? Two wrongs do make a... wrong.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 16: The Rapes of Graff, and consider such mysteries as why you would drunkenly puke into Helen’s mother’s boots, how does Veronica print out photos in the brief moment between scenes, and would you rather: Sheriff Lamb or Dick Casablancas? OK fine, you don’t have to make that satanic choice, unlike Madison Sinclair.
Read MoreLike all Wallace’s special ladyfriends, Jane requires Veronica’s services: her sister Heidi went missing after her own bachelorette party! And the wedding’s in three days!
Heidi’s got a rich fiance and a past, and these things are incompatible in the Marsverse.
Meanwhile, Aaron Echolls is back, marvelling at Kendall Casablancas’s boobs, and asking her for a favour that sends her rooting around in the shower drain.
She’s also trying to get Logan to invest in Cassidy’s booming property empire. But good luck with that: Logan’s busy dating Hannah and manipulating her parents.
A warrant is issued for Terrence Cook’s arrest, but then Keith finds some evidence that may prove his innocence - but then Terrence does something that makes him look really guilty again!
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 15: The Quick and the Wed, and consider such mysteries as engagement rings being legally binding, Gollum bachelorettes, and Kendall Casablancas being some kind of sex Roomba.
Read More• After a year and a half of being a one-line character, Corny finally gets his own plotline! One that involves him getting tased by a serial mugger of pizza deliverers.
• Is the mugger also targeting Neptune High students who are gay and will pay blackmail money not to be outed?
• And is the mugger also targeting students in interracial relationships?
• Plus: Logan is dating Hannah to get at her father, the fake witness implicating him in Felix’s murder.
• Hannah’s none too pleased to be used, but nor is she pleased to find her dad’s coke stash.
• Keith meanwhile finds proof to exonerate Terrence Cook from the bus bombing…
•...but then Veronica finds some explosive evidence.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 14: Versatile Toppings, and consider such mysteries as why you’d give Veronica a PRINTOUT of a supposedly very secret confidential website, whether Veronica ever uses the toilet, and whether it’s our brain or the plot of this episode that is a stupid mess.
Read MoreIt’s Neptune High’s winter carnival, to raise money for the school trip - but someone has stolen all the cash!
Who could it be? Weevil? While he’s taking his adorable niece around the funfair?
Jackie?? In the very brief moment when she’s not being plunged into a tank of cold water by vengeful students?
Logan??? No, he’s off flirting with the latest cute Neptune blonde girl Hannah, stealing her cotton candy and her heart, but with ulterior motives.
Random guy JB who really wants that Kane scholarship and just Veronica is standing in his way????
At least it’s definitely not Terrence Cook: he’s at the Mars office getting drunk with Keith, safe from being accused of more crimes, but not safe from Keith’s ruthless detectiving.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 13: Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough, and probe such mysteries as how big a stack of stolen cash is, why Weevil’s growing out his hair, and why everyone’s dunking on Jackie - as well as dunking Jackie.

That hit and run that sent Wallace back to Neptune is being pinned on our favourite pure-hearted boy! And he has just five days to clear his name!
Veronica is on the case, and it involves a limo kidnapping scheme, infiltrating a frat party, and phone theft.
Oh and she also plants a camera in a church confessional booth, to find out which PCHer is working for the Fitzpatricks’ drug business and therefore killed Felix.
And it’s.…..Thumper! Who also seems to be the leader of the PCHers now, leaving Weevil powerless, beaten and bikeless.
Keith, meanwhile, is cooking hotdogs and listening to witness interviews about the bus crash.
And it’s karaoke night, again, so cover your ears and assume the brace position, you know the drill.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 12: Rashard and Wallace Go To White Castle, and probe such mysteries as why anyone would get into a limo they didn’t order, why there are so many hollowed-out books in this town, what Weevil would sing at karaoke, and being hit in the dick.

Clue in, donut! Duncan kidnaps his own baby so the evil Manning grandparents can’t add her to their collection of emotionally abused children.
Sheriff Lamb is on the case, and so is the FBI - Agent LUCY LAWLESS has come to town for this case! But mainly to neg Lamb.
They search for Duncan in a boat, up at Big Bear, in the Mars apartment, in Mexico - but Duncan is GONE. You wouldn’t think he could outwit the law, would you? But…
Veronica has aided and abetted him! They fake a breakup, steal from Celeste, double-cross pretty much everyone, and kiss goodbye forever.
And as if that wasn’t enough for one episode, there’s Wallace’s hit and run case, and Weevil getting a new tattoo while tracking down the mole in the PCHers.
Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 11: Donut Run, and contemplate such mysteries as whether there is anyone who doesn’t get the better of Lamb this episode, how you get Kendall to come and take a shower in your bathroom when you’re not home, if she should eat a pizza bagel when in there, whether you can learn everything you need to know about sex from WikiHow, and, after SHOCKING REVELATIONS in the LoDown, why any of this episode happens at all.
Read MoreOMG, 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.
