"Mars vs. Mars" is the 14th episode of season one.

Plot

When Carrie Bishop, the gossip queen of the '09ers, accuses Mr. Rooks, Veronica's favorite teacher, of having an affair with her, Veronica sets out to prove her wrong and Mr. Rooks innocent. It's not that simple, however, since her father has been hired to prove he's guilty.

Arc significance

  • Veronica finds out that Mr. Rooks did have an affair, not with Carrie, but her friend. She was pregnant and didn't want to press charges against him, so Carrie took matters into her own hands.
  • Veronica finds a video that apparently shows Lynn falling into the river and shows it to Logan, but then gets a report that one of Lynn's credit cards has been used.
  • Veronica finds out that Abel Koontz is dying.
  • Veronica finds out that Duncan has type 4 epilepsy (illness does not exist in real-life).

Quotes

[Veronica works on breaking Carrie Bishop's story.]
Veronica: So? That doesn't prove anything. I could write down that I met Kid Rock every weekend at the Hedonism Lodge for sensual massage and smoothies, but that doesn't make it true.

:[Veronica sets off a blue-dye packet in a trap her father set for her.]

Veronica: This is not funny! I need to see that diary! She's lying. I know it. I can feel it with every fiber of my being.
Keith: Honey, you don't have to get all blue in the face.
Veronica: Oh, you're patronizing me?
Keith: To be fair, I am your patron.

:Weevil: If you're lookin' for my trophy, it's back by auto shop.

Veronica: Lube job? Or… can you get a medal in stealing hubcaps?
Weevil: Is this 1970? Rims, baby.
Veronica: So you got a trophy for a rim job?
Weevil: Forget it. Look, I got some information for you.
Veronica: Finally, a Deep Throat to call my own.
Weevil: I'm not gonna touch that one...

Trivia

  • The song that the 09ers sing to torment Carrie Bishop is "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by The Police.
