Revision as of 19:54, 3 July 2011

"Betty and Veronica" is episode 16 of season 1.

Plot

When someone steals Neptune High's mascot, Polly the Parrot, Veronica goes undercover at rival school Pan High as "Betty." In retaliation, Wallace and the Neptune High basketball team steal the Pan High goat. When a video surfaces over the Neptune High news channel showing Polly's kidnapper demanding that Wallace, the best player, not play at that night's game, Veronica is able to deduce who it is: a Neptune High player who has bet heavily against his own school. Veronica also checks her mother into rehab, but not before getting a lot of information.

Arc significance

Lianne doesn't know who Veronica's father is — it could be Jake or Keith.
Lianne says that she was with Jake at the time of Lilly's murder, but that Celeste barged in. However, Celeste was only there for twenty minutes.
Veronica gets the interrogation tapes of Jake and Celeste. They both claim they were at a hotel for two and a half hours, but their stories conflict.
Veronica finds that Clarence Wiedman bugged her room, so she bugs his office and gets him to reveal that Abel Koontz has a daughter, Amelia DeLongpre.

Quotes

Veronica: Hi. I'm … Betty. So, you guys all play basketball?

[...]

Veronica: I love basketball! I'm kind of a freak when it comes to sports, I totally get into it.

Richie: Are we talking face painting?

Veronica: Face painting, hair streaked the color of the school. At my old school, I was Horny! … We were the Rhinos. I was the mascot.

Richie: And what school was that?

Veronica: Riverdale.

(Note: Riverdale is the high school from Archie Comics, which featured characters called Betty and Veronica).

:Weevil: Where's the bird, Wilson? I'm nearly bursting with Pirate pride here. Weevil wanna punch a cracker.

:Veronica: Can you do me a weird favor without asking any questions?

Wallace: Isn't that the bedrock upon which our friendship was founded?

Trivia

The title Betty and Veronica is a reference to the Archie Comics characters Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge.

Goofs

When Veronica is baking snicker-doodles, she takes out one tray as she puts one in. But when she takes out the "just baked" pan, she sets it on the counter with a mitt or glove.
In the beginning, when Veronica is searching her room for the bug, you can see a crew member in the mirror of the bathroom as Veronica is passing by it.
When Veronica and her mother in the bar, her mother's hair switches parts, and between messy and smooth, in consecutive shots.
