A LONG TIME AGO, ON VERONICA MARS:


Student Carrie Bishop claims that Mr Rooks, the best teacher at Neptune High, has had sex with her.


But Veronica is determined to prove Mr Rooks innocent! She doesn’t like Carrie, and she loves Mr Rooks’s wacky theatrical teacher tricks.


This puts her at odds with Keith all episode - we hate it when the Marses fight! But we love the very good prank he plays on Veronica.


Logan needs Veronica to prove that his mother is still alive.


And Veronica pays another visit to Abel Koontz on death row.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 14: Mars vs Mars, and crack such mysteries as whether there’s only one cafe in Neptune, whether a Teacher With Wacky Fun Teaching Methods actually makes you learn anything, if you can pay a visit to Death Row just for a mic drop moment, and why Veronica is channelling Sheriff Lamb this episode.
