YMMV / Veronica Mars S 01 E 21 A Trip To The Dentist

• Harsher in Hindsight: The seemingly bittersweet resolution to this plot arc becomes much worse when it's revealed at the end of season 2 that Veronica actually was raped, by Beaver, who she wrote off as a suspect halfway through this episode. If she had figured out what had happened, she'd have saved the dozen people he murdered over the course of season 2.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: More of the "bitterly ironic" kind, but still: "Suit up, you don't know where she's been." Kind of not how it worked.
