And this is where being BFFs with a teenage detective comes in handy, because Veronica tracks down a key witness that clears Wallace of wrongdoing. Instead, the other guys in the car accuse Wallace of driving, when it was really basketball star Rashard. Wallace comes clean about the hit and run in Chicago to a reporter, but his story is never released. MARS INVESTIGATIONS, CASE 2x12: 'Rashard and Wallace Go to White Castle'

Season 2 specific: Someone says 'bus crash'.

A character, initially introduced as good, turns out to be a baddie (or vice versa).

Someone uses a disguise/alias/fake voice.

Someone mentions the 90909 zip code or '09ers.

Backup appears (take an extra drink when Backup gets recast).Mars family members hug (Backup counts!).Someone says 'Veronica Mars', even when they know full well who she is and there's no other Veronica in all of Neptune.

THE OFFICIAL FYA VERONICA MARS DRINKING GAME We also learned that the daughter of the man, the myth, the Gute! (yes, I speak of Steve Guttenberg) had been warned not to take the bus the day before the crash - which seems to portend a return engagement by the long-unseen Gute! A busy night of busy little bits on the bus front culminated with the news that Sheriff Lamb had arrested Terence, and something tells me Keith and Veronica will soon be getting a baseball star for a client.Good morning, Marshmallows! Maybe it's because a certain someone has been banished from Neptune, but it's like a gloomy, boring cloud has been lifted! I might even like Jackie now, you guys. So let's get to it! Keith put forth a new theory on the dead rat: It wasn’t a threatening gesture aimed at Veronica but a trick designed to flush the rich kids off the bus - an inspired notion. I must admit I had to strain to recall the Curly the Beached Mechanic (whom, we learned, was connected to the Casablancas family), as well as baseball star Terence Cook (a.k.a., Jackie’s Dad) and former Neptune High journalism teacher (and crash casualty) Miss DeMoss (who we learned had a thing going on with Cook). Yet I was happy to see Keith pick up the pace on VM‘s season-long bus-crash saga, which has taken a back seat of late to the recently concluded Meg-Duncan-baby story line.
