Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season One Episode Twenty

M.A.D.

When Veronica's classmate Carmen tries to break up with her boyfriend Tad, he threatens to send an embarrassing video of her to everyone at school. A video that Carmen doesn't even remember making.

Veronica and Mac create a fake website showing Tad's secret gay love as Carmen's means of mutually assured destruction. Tad sends out his video anyway, but Carmen doesn't retaliate, saying revenge just isn't her thing. Weevil takes his own form of revenge by taping Tad to the school flagpole echoing his treatment of Wallace in Pilot.

Veronica discovers that Carmen's video was taken a year-and-a-half earlier at Shelley Pomeroy's party--the same night Veronica was drugged and raped. She's shocked when Tad tells her he got GHB from Logan.

In other news: The Kanes have offered a $50,000 reward for information on Duncan's disappearance. Keith and Veronica are searching for him with assists from Weevil and Mac. Clarence Wiedman threatens Alicia that her job at Kane software is in jeopardy if she continues to see Keith. He also spills that Wallace had delivered the bugged plant in Betty and Veronica.

Another jam-packed episode with lots of little details that I haven't even mentioned because this post would be about twenty pages long. It's nice to see Cliff again--I love his character. Dick makes an obnoxious reappearance and his brother Beaver is introduced.  I was a little bugged by the idea that M.A.D. could be obtained by claiming Tad is gay. But it made sense based on how he treated a gay student.

Two more episodes left.
