VMI 2.09 My Mother, the Fiend
VMI 2.09 My Mother, the Fiend

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • After 1½ seasons about daddies, we get an episode about mothers!

  • Veronica investigates whether her own mom, Lianne, was the high school mean girl.

  • She also investigates whether, 25 years ago, mean girl for life Celeste Kane gave birth on prom night and dumped the baby in the school bathroom.

  • And all this leads to Trina Echolls, Logan’s adopted sister, discovering who her biological mom is.

  • Veronica herself has to practice being a mother, as a school assignment forces her to take care of a robot baby…

  • But brewing up a real, actual, non-robot baby is...Meg!??! And she’s waking from her coma???!!!!!

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 9: My Mother, the Fiend, and probe such mysteries as whether schools really make students look after robot babies, why Kendall would go for car gears as a Duncan-seduction gambit, what the what is going on with the alternate ending to this episode, and why you’d keep dead fauna in the freezer.

VMI 2.01 Normal Is The Watchword

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:

  • Keith’s got a book deal!

  • Veronica’s got a new job!

  • We’ve got a new Duncan - happy Duncan??!!

  • Wallace has got a problem with his urine…

  • Logan’s got a murder charge, a broken heart and no friends, but the Casablancases’ hot stepmom is there to cheer him up.

  • There are a whole load of new characters, and a new big tragedy for Neptune: a school bus crashes off a cliff.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 1 Normal is the Watchword, and try to crack such mysteries/pissteries as how Keith Mars got a book published so fast, where smart sassy Veronica disappeared to, whether pantsing takes down both under- and over-pants, and whether the Neptune Onlyplace is REALLY a cafe/restaurant/bar/karaoke joint, or merely an abandoned warehouse full of unusual light fixtures and decorative twigs.

A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:

  • A serial killer is on the loose, strangling young women with guitar strings.

  • But because the victims are “party girls”, Sheriff Lamb’s not too bothered about investigating.

  • Meanwhile, Veronica is investigating high schoolers’ parents - and discovers shocking information about her friend Mac.

  • But to cheer her up, she’s got a new friend, Leo, to extract favours from - her favourite thing.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 11: Silence of the Lamb, and get stuck into such mysteries as: why does this episode hate guitarists SO MUCH? What’s Jenny’s connection with Girls Gone Wild? And what’s so bad about nachos??
