Does tonight bring our first glimpse of The CW’s first Tuesday-night line-up? A new ”Gilmore Girls” at 8 p.m. followed by a new ”Veronica Mars” at 9 p.m.?
“Mars” now has to deal with “House,” “The Unit,” “Scrubs,” “Teachers,” “Sons and Daughters” and “Pepper Dennis” – instead of “Lost” and “American Idol.” An excellent swap from where I sit.
After tonight’s episode, “I Am God,” only four season-two episodes remain: “Nevermind the Buttocks” (2.19), “See You Next Tuesday” (2.20), “Manning the Ship” (2.21) and “Not Pictured” (2.22). Coaxial News’ own girl detective, “Victoria Barsoom,” has spoilers for tonight and the next two episodes beyond (BEWARE!! Uninvisotexted spoilage abounds):
What’s up with your favorite Veronica Mars characters over the next few episodes?
Logan: Takes a trip down memory lane with Veronica and
flashes back to their Summer of Love. Holds a prom in
his hotel suite when the HS prom is cancelled. Invites
Veronica and ends up inviting more than he asked for.
Has a long talk with Veronica about the future of
their relationship.
Wallace: Pursues Jackie and finally snags her on prom
night.
Keith: Investigates Kendall Casablancas. Finds himself
on the wrong end of a gun.
Weevil: Is suspected by Veronica of having a role in
the bus crash. Faces off with the Fighting
Fitzpatricks.
Woody Goodman (Steve Guttenberg): Asks Keith’s help in
dealing with a little problem: an illicit liaison with
a woman who is not his wife.
Mac (Tina Majorino): Goes to the prom with a
surprising date.
Kendall Casablancas (Charisma Carpenter): Comes under
scrutiny for her role in the bus crash. Gets a booty
call from an old lover.

dreams to give her important information about the bus

Dick: Grosses out viewers with his caveman dating
tactics.

relationship to Dick.
And most importantly, Veronica: Dreams about all the
kids involved in the bus crash, including Marcos
(referred to in 2.08, "Ahoy Mateys), Peter (referred
to in 2.14, "Versatile Toppings"), Rhonda (referred to
in 2.05 "Blast from the Past") and Betina (Dick's
wrong-side-of-town ex-squeeze). Gets good news and bad
news about her college plans. Tracks down the person
who ran over her classmate’s dog. Finds out who is
stalking Gia Goodman. Reconnects with a former
boyfriend. Gets bad news from the doctor. Thinks about
restarting her relationship with Logan (expect to see
some roadblocks).
