VMI 2.21 Happy Go Lucky

A LONG TIME AGO ON VERONICA MARS: There have been some rough episodes of Veronica Mars, but this has to be one of the roughest. Aaron fucking Echolls is found innocent on all charges! And it’s somehow something to do with Veronica getting chlamydia? Fvck! Off!! Woody Goodman is revealed to be a child abuser, and some of the kids in the bus crash were his victims. As was Lucky the janitor, who starts firing a gun at the school, then is shot dead. Terrence Cook is exonerated from the bus crash, but condemned to work at the casino for at least a decade. Jackie LEAVES without even saying goodbye. And then, after all that trauma, Veronica has to take finals! It’s too much! Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars season 2 episode 21: Happy Go Lucky, delving into such mysteries as to whether Woody could have chosen a more disgusting password, what’s actually supposed to happen in court when someone shouts “Objection!” and why a load of physical evidence, witnesses and legal procedure <<< CHLAMYDIA.
