"Credit Where Credit's Due" is the second episode of the first season of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars. Written by series creator Rob Thomas and directed by Mark Piznarski, who also directed the pilot, the episode originally aired on UPN on September 28, 2004. 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's newfound friend Weevil (Francis Capra) is arrested for credit card fraud, and she goes on the case to figure out who actually did the crime. Synopsis Veronica is talking with Wallace Fennel (Percy Daggs III) in the halls of the high school. Wallace finds an invite to an 09-er party. With some help from Veronica, he deciphers the code which states when and where it will take place. At the party, Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) and Duncan Kane (Teddy Dunn) interact with other popular students. Weevil bursts onto the scene and gets into an argument with Logan because Weevil normally uses the beach. As the debate becomes increasingly heated, the Sheriff's department appears and the partygoers quickly disperse before they have to show IDs. The next day, Weevil is approached by the Sheriff's department, who arrest his grandmother on charges of credit card fraud, even though they actually believe it was Weevil who committed the crime. Afterwards, Mrs. Navarro's lawyer visits Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni) and expresses his belief that it was Weevil who stole the credit card. Veronica states that Logan framed Weevil, but she is dismissed by the other two. The Mars family goes on the case. Veronica visits Weevil to find out more, but he rebuffs her questions. While Veronica and Keith are at a diner, Don Lamb sits down at their table and berates him for the handling of Lilly Kane's (Amanda Seyfried) murder one year earlier. Offended, Keith retorts and the two argue. Then, Veronica goes to a newspaper class with Mallory Dent (Sydney Tamiia Poitier) after telling Wallace to copy Weevil's attendance records. Her first assignment is to do a story with her ex-boyfriend, Duncan. Veronica finds proof that Weevil is not guilty, but Keith tells her that Weevil has already confessed. Veronica also finds a correlation between Logan's web history and the credit card charges. Veronica's car also has a flat tire. Troy Vandegraff (Aaron Ashmore) helps
