"My Mother, the Fiend" is the ninth episode of the second season of the American mystery television series ''Veronica Mars'', and the thirty-first episode overall. Directed by Nick Marck, the episode was co-written by Phil Klemmer and Dayna Lynne North. The episode premiered on November 30, 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, Veronica finds her mother's old high school records and starts digging into her mother's past, discovering information about the Kane family in the process. Meanwhile, Beaver (Kyle Gallner) proposes a business plan to help Kendall (Charisma Carpenter). "My Mother, the Fiend" features the third and final appearance by Alyson Hannigan on the show. The show's crew found it difficult to work an episode into Hannigan's schedule because of other projects. The episode was accompanied by an alternate ending, a publicity move made by executive producer Joel Silver and the UPN promotions department. The episode was initially viewed by 2.82 million viewers and received mostly positive reviews. For example, Rowan Kaiser, of ''The A.V. Club'', wrote "I am intrigued by the decisions to make Veronica less than pure, but this time, I'm not as disappointed by the followthrough." == Synopsis == In health class, the whole class starts taking care of fake babies. Vice Principal Clemmons (Duane Daniels) calls Veronica into his office and gives her detention for having keys to his file cabinet. Beaver walks up to Mac (Tina Majorino) and asks her for a few favors. For Veronica’s detention, she has to alphabetize files and put them in cabinets. Veronica finds her mother’s permanent file and figures out that she was troubled in high school. Logan (Jason Dohring) punches Weevil (Francis Capra) and Logan's cronies beat up on him. Veronica talks to a teacher and finds out that Lianne and that teacher spread false rumors around the school and got suspended because of it. Weevil gets duct-taped to the flagpole. Veronica asks Vice Principal Clemmons about who might have known her mom in high school. Veronica talks to Principal Moorhead, who tells her that her mom was “vicious.” Trina (Alyson Hannigan) is coming back to perform in a play at Neptune High. Kendall tries to seduce Duncan (Teddy Dunn) again. Trina meets Kendall, and the interaction is rife with sarcasm. Veronica looks through her mom’s yearbook and eventually tracks down one of her mother’s old friends, who provides more information on the love triangle between Celeste (Lisa Thornhill), Jake (Kyle Secor), and Lianne. Veronica asks Keith (Enrico Colantoni) about Lianne’s suspension, which she thinks was about spreading a rumor that Celeste was pregnant. Keith says that he doesn’t know anything about it. Trina slips and falls during a play rehearsal. Beaver meets with Kendall and confronts her about selling his father’s possessions for little money. Beaver gives her his plan, which involves her being the face of his business idea. Keith checks the birth records and finds that no baby was born to either “Kane” or “Carnathan” (Celeste’s maiden name) at that time. However, he finds a mysterious baby found in the girl’s bathroom at the Neptune high prom. Veronica bad-mouths Celeste in Duncan’s room before Celeste comes in and Veronica learns that Duncan never told his parents about their relationship. Celeste insults Veronica’s mother, and Veronica deduces that Celeste’s cleaning lady, Astrid, is probably her daughter. Weevil confronts Logan angrily, and they fight, despite agreeing that they need to team up to find out who actually killed Felix. Mac shows her work to Beaver, which involves his new business project. Veronica, under a disguise, meets with the prom baby’s temporary foster mom. Veronica learns that the baby’s foster mother committed suicide and her father was in jail, hinting that the baby is Trina Echolls. Veronica talks to Trina and tells her the news of her parentage. Trina actually wants her story to go to the tabloids. However, a deaf lunch lady storms in and says that she’s actually Trina’s mother. The lunch lady says that Lianne was a friend who covered up her pregnancy to protect her. Trina’s father is Principal Moorehead, and Trina confronts him about leaving her at the prom in front of many faculty. Veronica finds the dead rat that Keith picked up at the bus. Veronica finds out that Principal Clemmons deliberately gave Veronica her detention task so that she would find her mother’s permanent file and frame Principal Moorehead. Veronica picks up Abel Koontz’s (Christian Clemenson) belongings and walks into Meg’s (Alona Tal) room and discovers that Meg is pregnant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Mother, the Fiend」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
