Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season One Episode Twelve

Clash of the Tritons

After a night of pub crawling, Neptune High student Tim is in a coma. His buddy Rick says Veronica provided them with fake ID's. When Sheriff Lamb and Vice Principal Clemmons open her locker, a cascade of fake drivers' licenses fall out.

Veronica confronts Rick. He claims the Tritons, a secret society at Neptune, instructed him to blame Veronica. Since Veronica is suspended, Wallace finds out about a secret locker: put $250 in the locker in the morning and get a fake license in the afternoon.  Veronica also tracks Duncan because he's a Triton pledge. This leads to Veronica's awesome rendition of One Way or Another. (Kristen Bell has a great voice; check out the musical version of Reefer Madness.) Ultimately, Veronica finds the real culprit and clears her name.

Meanwhile, the Echolls family is having issues dealing with the aftermath of Aaron's stabbing (Episode Ten: An Echolls Family Christmas.) Aaron hires Keith to find out who's leaking stories to the tabloids. Logan's family is even more dysfunctional than I thought: Lynn (Logan's mother) is the leak. The episode ends with a shot of Lynn's car abandoned on the Coronado Bridge; police are investigating a possible jumper.

Also, Neptune's guidance counselor is interviewing students close to Lilly for a study on long-term grief. Veronica finds a way to eavesdrop and discovers: Lilly was involved with Weevil (is this her big secret?); Logan blames Veronica (himself and Lilly) for Lilly's death; Duncan is off his medications (what medications?) and doesn't remember the day of her death.

The plot thickens.
