"Not Pictured" is the second season finale of the American mystery television series Veronica Mars, serving as the twenty-second episode of the season and the forty-fourth episode overall. Co-written by series creator Rob Thomas and John Enbom and directed by John Kretchmer, the episode premiered on UPN on May 9, 2006.
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 learns the identity of the person responsible for the Neptune High bus crash. Meanwhile, Veronica and her classmates graduate from high school, and Neptune reacts to Aaron Echolls (Harry Hamlin) being acquitted.
"Not Pictured" reveals Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas (Kyle Gallner) as the perpetrator behind the bus crash and Veronica's rape. This plot twist was planned since Beaver's introduction. The episode also features the final appearances of several characters, including Aaron Echolls, Beaver, Jackie Cook (Tessa Thompson), Duncan Kane (Teddy Dunn), and Woody Goodman (Steve Guttenberg). This episode would be the final episode of the show to air on UPN before switching to The CW. The finale was critically acclaimed and is often cited as one of the best of the series.
The second season revolves around a school bus that mysteriously goes off a cliff, killing nine people. Throughout the season, Veronica investigates the murder, focusing on a variety of suspects, including the Fitzpatrick family, Kendall Casablancas (Charisma Carpenter), and Terrence Cook (Jeffrey Sams) before turning her suspicion on Woody Goodman (Steve Guttenberg) after she learns that he is a child molester. "Not Pictured" solves the mystery through a plot twist. Meanwhile, Veronica previously dated Duncan Kane (Teddy Dunn), before he left with his baby daughter (with one of the bus crash victims) for Mexico. In addition, Aaron Echolls (Harry Hamlin), the murderer of Lilly Kane, Duncan's sister, was acquitted of all charges.
