Ryan Hansen tries to get Kristen Bell and The CW execs Mark Pedowitz and Thom Sherman on board with his idea for a new TV show, a spinoff starring his Veronica Mars character, Dick Casablancas, as a private detective.
Rob Thomas, co-creator of Veronica Mars, is asked about his involvement in the spinoff. Ryan and Jason Dohring - who is really pumped about the new show - discuss ideas. Ryan reaches out to Chris Lowell to get involved.
Francis Capra talks type-casting with Ryan, and Ryan talks type with Ken Marino. Meanwhile, a dancer named Gaston gets enthusiastic about the need to practice the major dance number.
As the spinoff unrolls with Dick on the case of a murder (and his stolen sunglasses), he is reunited with Madison Sinclair and the ghost of his brother, Beaver. But this is TV 101, and no character is safe from the proverbial death knell.
