Ahoy, Mateys!

Written by John Enbom and Cathy Belben and directed by Steve Gomer, the episode premiered on November 23, 2005 on UPN.

The series depicts the adventures of Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) as she deals with life as a high school student while moonlighting as a private detective.

In this episode, the parents of Marcos, a student who died in the bus crash, contact Keith (Enrico Colantoni) and Veronica to investigate who has been harassing them by leaving them reminders of their son.

Duncan wakes up to hear Veronica reporting her findings about Dr. Griffith (Rick Peters) to Logan, including that he was reprimanded for doing illegal surgery on a man named Danny Boyd.

At school, a boy confronts Weevil (Francis Capra), demanding the cocaine he ordered from 'some biker dude'.

At Mars Investigations Keith (Enrico Colantoni) meets with the parents of Marcos Oliveres, a student who died in the bus crash.

Boyd leads her to The River Sticks, a local bar heavily patronized by the Fitzpatrick crime family.

Keith gives Veronica an MP3 player paid for by the Neptune School District that he found broadcasting Marcos’s voice in Mrs. Oliveres’s car.

Veronica gives the MP3 player to Mac (Tina Majorino), who recognizes Marcos' voice as that of 'Captain Crunk', one of the co-anchors of a popular pirate radio show.

The show was mostly about roasting various Neptune High students, leading Veronica to conclude a large number of people could have had it out for Marcos.

Veronica confronts Weevil about her belief that he set up Tom Griffith for a favor from the Fitzpatrick family, of which Danny Boyd is a member.

Veronica and Mac track the origin of the radio signal to a house, only to be shocked when Vice-Principal Clemmons answers the door.

Logan is kidnapped by masked bikers, who subject him to torture by playing Russian roulette with various parts of his body.

", was more positive towards this episode's twist, writing that it wasn't "exactly heartwarming that a gay person would feel righteous enough to emotionally torture grieving parents, but that kind of behavior is no more monstrous than typical straight characters' actions on this show."
