Rat Saw God (Veronica Mars)

Written by Phil Klemmer and John Enbom and directed by Kevin Bray, the episode premiered on UPN on November 9, 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, Logan (Jason Dohring) is arrested for his supposed stabbing of a biker gang member, and Keith (Enrico Colantoni) loses the Sheriff's election.

Veronica waits with Keith at an election party, where tensions are high due to the results being extremely close.

Dick Casablancas (Ryan Hansen) confronts Logan about sleeping with Kendall, and then hits on Gia Goodman (Krysten Ritter) by bragging about how he is the "man of the house" now that his father is hiding overseas.

Veronica leaves the party and finds Abel Koontz, who is in the end-stage of stomach cancer, outside the door of Mars Investigation.

Logan is placed in a cell with his father, Aaron (Harry Hamlin), who is temporarily being held there before his trial for the murder of Lilly Kane.

Logan is released on bail, which angers Weevil and his friends, who discuss how their motorcycle club is getting a reputation for being "soft".

Veronica breaks into Clarence Wiedman's (Christopher B. Duncan) office to confront him, but he denies any knowledge of where Amelia might be.

[4] This was one of Klemmer's favorite episodes of the show that he wrote, writing that "I think that scene with Clarence and Veronica getting together is just funny and cool.

In addition, "Rat Saw God" features the second appearance by Gia (Krysten Ritter), who had been absent since "Normal Is the Watchword".

Stolz was awarded the role for winning a small contest while competing on the fifth cycle of America's Next Top Model.

"[8] Upon being asked about Whedon's praise, Jason Dohring, who plays Logan, said in an interview: It was the buzz of the set: 'Did you hear what he said about us?,’ Stuff like that.

[11] Despite being credited, Wallace (Percy Daggs III), Jackie (Tessa Thompson), and Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas (Kyle Gallner) do not appear.

"More generally, [the plot lines] show that Veronica Mars has created a strong enough world that it can support much higher levels.
