Veronica Mars Re-Watch: Season Two Episode Nine

My Mother, the Fiend

As part of Veronica's detention, Vice Principal Clemmons has her alphabetize some school records. She finds her mother's file and learns her mother and teacher Mrs. Hauser were once suspended together 25 years ago. Veronica is determined to find out more.

The girls were suspended for spreading rumors about a pregnant student. Was it Celeste Kane? Keith discovers that an abandoned baby was found in the girls' bathroom at the Neptune High prom. Veronica learns that the child is Trina Echolls, who's back in town to direct a Neptune High School production of Hamlet. Trina's mother is Mary, a former student who now works at the school. Mary is deaf and Veronica's misunderstanding of her sign language is the episode's title. (Lianne was Mary's friend.) The father: the current Neptune High principal. Veronica is impressed with Vice Principal Clemmon's Machiavellian move to have her find the file and uncover the truth.

In other developments:

Logan's revenge on Weevil ends with Weevil taped to the school flagpole, like Wallace in the pilot. Despite a fist fight between them, Logan and Weevil tentatively agree to work together to find who killed Felix.

Beaver hires Mac to set up a website for his business, the Phoenix Land Trust. Because he's only 16, he wants Kendall to be the face of his company.

Veronica finds the rat in the Mars Investigation freezer. Keith tells her that he found it in the bus.

As a class project, Veronica and Duncan have to take care of a mechanical baby. But it's Meg who is pregnant with a real child.
