Veronica has landed herself a new job – as a college paper’s photographer. Her first assignment, as luck would have it, has to do with Parker’s rape. Apparently the Theta Beta sorority might be involved. At least, a look behind the Greek curtain is her assignment. Veronica’s new boss knows how to pitch an assignment and Veronica Mars is on her way in a floral dress. So, yeah, Veronica Mars totally plays up the sorority stereotype, which is completely unrelated to my experience. But who says Veronica Mars is based totally on reality? Veronica does meet a girl who seems a bit more laid back.
Veronica gets invited to the special –- read secret -– party full of booze and boys. A sorority party also means Dick Casablancas is there “fulfilling [his] destiny” along with a few other folks from Veronica’s past. Veronica plays the drunken party girl until she's asked to take a Safe Ride home. Her sober driver gives her a lecture about getting liquored up until she can’t say no and then crying about what happens. Who called the blame the victim card would be pulled? Me! But the lecturing sober ride home leads Veronica in a green direction.
Parker’s mom tries to pull her out of college, but Mac tells her to stay. Overbearing parents aren’t ever fun to deal with, so, hopefully, Parker will be saved from that horrible experience – or at least those hideous wigs. Figuring out who raped her will have to wait for the rest of the season to unfold.
What do we know so far? The Theta Beta’s could have easily had access to Parker’s room the night she was raped. Parker took a Safe Ride home from the Resident Advisor, Moe, the same night.
Other things to ponder: Remember, vomit is the new mace. The writers of Veronica Mars have to be fans of Battlestar Galactica with the continued use of “frack” in the show. Superman is another fave, with Dick mentioning kryptonite last week and Bizarro World this week. When will The CW ditch that stupid “Aerie” bit?
Why can’t Veronica Mars be on HBO, where we could have seen a bit more of Logan’s streaking? You know what I'm saying.
So far, the only things really missing are a decent plot for Keith Mars and any plot for Weevil.
