She tries to be cool about the whole counselor Rebecca relationship at first, but she ends up folding pretty quickly and digging up some dirt on Keith’s would-be paramour. Some part of Veronica believes that her family can be reunited. She does this because she’s noticeably rattled to discover that her father is moving on from her absentee mother, by dating Veronica’s guidance counselor Rebecca (albeit briefly). While Keith is ushering some of Lianne’s things out of the apartment and into storage, Veronica takes a peek into the box of stuff. The first season of Veronica Mars(really the whole show, but in particular the first season) is not lacking for amazing and unexpected twists, but the end reveal to this mystery (spoiler: it was Troy!) is a great minor one in the show’s canon. Clever girl, as usual.īut Ziggy is just one of two antagonists in this episode.

As far as he knows, border patrol just got smart. She does this in such a way that the revenge can’t be traced back to her - Ziggy has no idea she took the photo of him, or even what her name is.

Veronica manages to assist Luke with gathering the $8,000 needed for Ziggy’s refund and gets Ziggy off Luke’s back by cleverly passing around his photo and information about his drug smuggling to the Mexico border patrol agents. In the trunk of said sweet ride, unfortunately, is a piñata of steroids that Luke was tasked with carting back stateside at the behest of a ‘roided up gym owner by the awesomely awful name of Hank Zigman. Troy, with the threat of being sent away to boarding school hanging over his head, accepts Veronica’s offer to use her mad skillz to track down the missing vehicle. After a spontaneous bro trip to Tijuana with Logan and Neptune High rando Luke (played by the ever-adorable Sam Huntington), Veronica’s brand new boyfriend, Troy, finds his father’s car has been “stolen.” This is one of the mysteries that hits closest to home for our titular spunky blonde heroine, and she isn’t “hired” to handle the case in the traditional sense. This episode is chock full of that, buddy. We’re checking back in to Neptune with the fifth episode of the first season of V eronica Mars,“You Think You Know Somebody,” which deals primarily with the theme of betrayal.
