A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS:


Someone called Mandy has lost her dog and wants Veronica to find him.


Even though Veronica’s busy enough trying to find out why Weevil broke into Lilly Kane’s bedroom the other night.


Logan’s sister Trina has a boyfriend who is bad news.


But Mr Bad News himself Aaron Echolls is there to deal some very bad news to Trina’s boyfriend’s face.


Veronica breaks up with Deputy Leo, but they stay friends - so he can carry on doing favours for her, great, lucky him.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 19: Hot Dogs, and consider such mysteries as why you’d be pleased to see supersmart teen detective Veronica Mars when you’re running a dognapping scheme that you presumably do not want her to bust, as well as Wishbone’s outfits, and Judy Blume’s Forever as an educational resource.
