"Rashard and Wallace Go to White Castle" is episode 12 of season 2 of the television show Veronica Mars. It had an estimated audience size of 2.14 million US viewers on its first airing.
Plot
When Wallace spills about Rashard's hit-and-run, Rashard and his uncle counter back that it was Wallace that was driving the car, so Veronica sets out to prove his innocence with the help of a deputy from the sheriff's department and Jackie Cook, who wants to be in Wallace's life again. Meanwhile, Weevil finally finds out that it's Thumper who is working with the Fitzpatricks, but Thumper organizes a coup against him when it's exposed that Weevil and Logan were working together. And Terrence Cook, Jackie's father, is questioned in relation to the bus crash.
Arc significance
- Keith steals the interrogation tapes for the bus crash case.
- Dick and Cassidy revealed to Lamb that their father knew David "Curly" Moran as a mechanic. Dick also tells him that the bus smelled bad, which was why he got a limo.
- Gia Goodman told Lamb that her father, Woody Goodman, told her not to ride the bus.
- Keith speculates to Veronica that the dead rat was there so that the 09ers wouldn't go back on the bus, thus the only casualties would be lower- and middle-class students. Veronica still thinks it was targeted to her.
- Veronica bugs the confessional at Father Patrick Fitzpatrick's church and shows the video to Weevil. It shows Thumper, one of the PCHers, taking the drugs that Liam Fitzpatrick left behind.
- Weevil confronts Thumper, but Thumper has organized a coup against Weevil - Hector's brother works at the Neptune Grand and saw Weevil come out of Logan's room. The PCHers beat Weevil up and Thumper tells Hector to throw Weevil's motorcycle into the ocean.
- Veronica finds a picture where Terrence Cook and Ms. Dumas (the late journalism teacher) are together.
- Lamb questions Terrence Cook in relation to the bus crash.
- It seems that Jackie is trying to make Wallace jealous by taking Rashard to a Hollywood club. Wallace follows the pair with Rashard's uncle. A security guard swaps the uncles cell phone for one of Veronica's pre-bugged cell.
- Wallace gives Veronica a high-five in thanks for helping him, Jackie then walks up and also gets a high-five for leading Rashard to the club.
