1.06: Return of the Kane
A Long Time Ago on Veronica Mars: We meet Logan’s dad - and swiftly wish we hadn’t. Duncan’s dad makes him run for class president. Also running for president: rebellious Wanda! A new friend for Veronica - or is she? Logan’s got a new hobby: running amateur boxing tournaments. Veronica finds out something majorly dodgy in Lilly’s murder files. And: Jane Lynch in alpha mode! Our favourite flavour of Jane Lynch. Join Jenny Owen Youngs and Helen Zaltzman to investigate Veronica Mars Season 1 Episode 6: Return of the Kane, and consider such mysteries as why legs are not universally known as ‘getaway sticks’, why Neptune High’s pirate points merit system seems relevant only to the sportif and/or the rich, and whether we actually LOVE and ADMIRE Duncan in this episode?!?!?
