"Clash of the Tritons" is the twelfth episode of the first season of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars.

Co-written by Phil Klemmer and Aury Wallington and directed by David Barrett, the episode premiered on UPN on January 11, 2005.

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.

Meanwhile, the school guidance counselor, Rebecca James, interviews the people who were most affected by Lilly Kane's (Amanda Seyfried) murder, and Logan's (Jason Dohring) family dramas continue.

School counselor Rebecca James (Paula Marshall), who used to date Keith, has gotten Veronica to come in for a grief therapy session because of a study she is doing.

Later, Wallace tells Veronica that he heard that a mystery locker at school dispenses fake IDs if the participant pays $250.

Veronica visits Sheriff Lamb and makes him a deal—if she doesn't catch the thief by that day, she will plead guilty to any charges.

When Veronica asks Rick why he blamed her, he states that it was because Keith's investigations made his family lose money and his parents get a divorce.

The episode's title refers to the fantasy adventure film Clash of the Titans, and its related media.

Actor Harry Hamlin, who portrays Aaron Echolls in the series, played a starring role in the original 1981 film.

[4] Price Peterson, writing for TV.com, wrote in his episode verdict that "Despite the increasingly weird behavior of this school's in-crowd, Veronica's fearless takedown of a very feared club was a thrill to watch.

"I'm very happy to see that Veronica Mars is maintaining the comedy/drama mix that it managed to get just right in "An Echolls Family Christmas".

“Clash of the Tritons” isn't quite as great a piece of character work as the Christmas episode, but it's as or more fun."
