1.16: Betty and Veronica

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: The school mascot, Polly the parrot, is missing! A rival school’s mascot, Billy the goat, is also missing! No longer missing, though: Veronica’s mom. But she’s not in a good way… One person’s having a good time, at least: Wallace! He’s the toast of the basketball team, he’s getting high fived wherever he goes, and someone’s leaving cookies in his locker. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 16: Betty and Veronica, and consider such mysteries as when Veronica got good at baking, why Keith Mars has to say the phrase ‘making love’ a million times this episode, and which delivery company would handle an unstable box full of raw goat meat.
