Still troubled by the events surrounding the murder of her best friend Lilly Kane, Veronica Mars returns to Neptune High for the start of her junior year. Veronica has to deal with the wrath of Weevil when she helps the new kid in town, sophomore Wallace Fennel, down from the school's flagpole he’s been duct-taped to. To save Wallace from further torture from Weevil and his biker buddies, Veronica strikes up a deal to help them out. She devises an intricate plan that helps the gang avoid trouble with the law.

| Veronica: I used to think I knew what tore our family apart. Now I'm sure I don't. But I promise this, I will find out what really happened. And I will bring this family back together again. I'm sorry, is that mushy? Well, you know what they say. Veronica Mars, she's a marshmellow.

This was the catchphrase of the 1965 Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name, Atom Ant.
| Logan: Guess what? Daddy took the T-Bird away. And guess what I won't be having? Fun, fun, fun.
Logan is cleverly paraphrasing the lyrics from "Fun, fun, fun" by the Beach Boys to describe the reason he's currently pissed at Veronica.
