Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season One Episode Thirteen

Lord of the Bling

A rap producer's daughter is missing; the girl Yolanda used to be a friend of Veronica's. That is until Veronica saw Logan and Yolanda kissing at a party. (Was she the one Logan was talking about in the last episode?)

The mystery of the week becomes more of a family than a criminal drama. Yolanda was not kidnapped; she eloped. Her brother used the situation to earn respect from their father.

Meanwhile Logan is having difficulty dealing with his mother's death. They never found her body, so Logan thinks she's still alive. The episode ends with Logan asking Veronica to find his mother.

Overall, Lord of the Bling is a weak episode, even weaker than Drinking the Kool-Aid. At least that episode introduces the voice of Clarence Wiedman and includes Veronica shredding the DNA results. In Lord of the Bling, the flashbacks of Veronica with Yolanda, Lilly and Logan don't add anything to the investigation of Lilly's death.  They show Lilly as petty and jealous, and Veronica as "caving into peer pressure" as she describes it.  The possibility that Lynn Echolls may be alive is the most intriguing part of this episode.
