Who's Who of Veronica Mars — T

T

Fake producer on a fake show. Duped runs until Veronica dupes the dupers. Jimmy Spain shouts for T and Liam, when cornered by Veronica. Therefore, we reckon that T is probably the name Grant Winters uses to sucker the actors into playing their part in 1.04 "The Wrath of Con."

-Inigo

Tad Wilson
See Wilson, Tad
Tad's Lackey

Neptune High jerkface. Forget about him insulting gay kids and zaftig girls, or being Tad's friend, have you seen this guy's sweater? Clearly his anti-social behavior is just a cry for help in his desperate fight against a crippling lack of fashion sense in 1.20 "M.A.D.."

-grimsqueaker

Played by Nat McCormick.
Taft, Mrs.

Teacher at Neptune High. One can assume she is probably an English teacher, given that she's reading a Henry James novel aloud in class. One can also assume that she's a bit daft, given her propensity for reading novels aloud in class in a fake English accent. Oi! Mrs. Taft is probably pretentious in 2.18 "I Am God."

-funky-donut

Talley, Chris

Meg's aunt. Not an absent babydaddy, a chum from gay camp, or, as far as we know, blackmailer extraordinaire, Chris was just the person nice enough to offer the expecting Ms. Manning a place to stay and raise her baby in. Bit of a letdown from the suspense that started with the letter's discovery, but what can you do? She's one of the good guys. Then again, this is only as far as we know — remember that time some kid's dad turned out to be a chick? All bets are off in every episode of VM, including 2.10 "One Angry Veronica."

Tamara

Loretta Cancun's friend? Co-worker? Submissive? Arch-nemesis? We have no idea. Loretta instructs Cliff to tell "that bitch" that she can beg all she wants. Loretta is gonna testify. Tamara, honey? Sit down. You're rocking the boat in 1.20 "M.A.D."

-Inigo

Tammy

Girl in Kendall Shiflett's high school yearbook. Smiling and lovely in her yearbook picture, she probably dreamed of going to Nashville and becoming a famous country queen. Or of using a fake name and marrying a twice-divorced white knight who sweeps her off to bimbo paradise, like one of her classmates. Tammy is justified and not yet ancient in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

Taps

Name on a wall. The scribblings-on-the-wall epic continues, as Taps, the object of a love declaration on the girls' bathroom wall two episodes ago, now returns with his own signature in the boys' bathroom. Weevil and Logan are too busy to care in 2.09 "My Mother, the Fiend."

Tarantino, Quentin

High school dropout turned film director. Best known for Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino also had a hand in bringing us the delightful bloodbath of Natural Born Killers. He's adept at resuscitating careers, such as John Travolta and Pam Grier. Richard Grieco needs to get the man on the horn posthaste. Apparently the Hearst theatre troupe can't be bothered with Tarantino's penchant for firearms in 3.05 "President Evil."

-bethgee

Tartuffe

The title character in Molière's most famous play. Dirty, rotten scoundrel! Not a nice guy! Takes advantage of decent people to try and write himself into their wills and take over their estates! Pretends to be pious and righteous, and is a liar and a cheat! And yet his story is surprisingly funny. The Hearst theatre department tries to tell it, with undetermined success, in 3.05 "President Evil."

-fulfilled

Tartuffe, Patrick

Name appearing on a Google search for Patrick Nickerson. As a youth, Pat invented the Tartuffel Shuffle after his hero's famous dance. His sweet moves landed him on his high school's cheerleading squad, and eventually, he got a dance scholarship to Coleman University. No longer a pudgy, snaggle-toothed boy, Pat is the dance team's star. He didn't compete in the Utisdale Cross Country Invitational; he cheered on his really good "friend," Patrick Nickerson, at the finish line. Unfortunately, we don't get to see Pat shake it in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

-starxdsparrow

The Task Master

A name on the Pi Sigma scoreboard. Either a supervillain with photographic reflexes has now joined a frat, or someone's using a pseudonym in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

Tattoo Artist

He gives Weevil some new neck art and outs Felix and Molly Fitzpatrick's relationship in 2.11 "Donut Run."

Taylor, Deputy

A Balboa County Deputy, he was one of four deputies fired by Keith Mars for failing to check IDs in college area bars. Kind of harsh, Keith, don't you think? I mean, the man doesn't even get a line and you expect him to ask for ID? He needs a SAG card for that! Poor Taylor can't even protest without one in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

-alliterator

Taylor

Neptune High student. According to Cap'n Krunk, she found some loop...holes in her abstinence pledge. It's up to the viewers to fill in exact nature of these VM-isn't-on-HBO loop...holes in 2.08 "Ahoy, Mateys!"

-wyk

Taylor #2

Fellatio-favoring filly. What's classier than going down on some dude in the front seat of his car within hours of meeting him? Being tickled pink that the father of the boy attached to that penis is a suspected murderer. Logan sure knows how to pick 'em in 3.10 "Show Me the Monkey."

-bethgee

Played by Chelsea Logan.
Taylor, Jordan

Another of Woody's Little Leaguers. Suffering from a mysterious disease that renders his facial features almost invisible, Jordan spent his early days lonely and overlooked by everyone in his vicinity. Only recently he learned to use his tragedy to his advantage: unbeknownst to those around him, he has become the Faceless Robber, taking from 09ers and 02ers alike, and terrorizing the neighborhoods of his home town. No one was able to catch him until now, but fear not, Batman the dark knight of Neptune is probably already on his heels. Jordan plans future supervillainy in 2.22 "Not Pictured."

-grimsqueaker

Taylor, Kim

Singer/songwriter not related to Maria Taylor, James Taylor, any of the Duran Duran Taylors, Tim "The Toolman" Taylor, or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. We don't think, at least. She graces a concert poster in 3.05 "President Evil."

-Polter-Cow

Taylor, Maria

One half of Azure Ray and current girlfriend of Conor Oberst. Oh, Saddle Creek, how incestuous you are! Perfectly appropriate, then, that she appears to be playing solo in Neptune, Land of Incest, according to a poster in 3.05 "President Evil."

-Polter-Cow

Ted

Gamer and one of the few vaguely human inhabitants of the gaming club. In this frag-or-be-fragged world, what would make a gamer take his hands off his joystick? In Ted's case, the appearance of Sailor Mars Veronica inspires soldier-in-grungy-armor chivalry in 1.04 "The Wrath of Con."

-wyk

Played by Nat McCormick.
Ted #2

Hearst College student and amateur photographer. His camera phone captures Chip passed out in his tighty whities with his head shaved. If the Hearst Free Press published his snapshot, perhaps his next photographic oeuvre will be "Dean with mustard on his chin" or "Frat boy makes out with inflatable doll." It does make us wonder, though: since we've heard there's topless co-eds suntanning in the quad, what's Ted doing snapping pictures of half-naked frat boys in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's"?

-misskiwi

Played by Ryan Judd.
Reverend Ted Capistrano
See Capistrano, Reverend Ted
Tedster

One of the gaming club screen names. It would make sense if it was Ted's nom de geek but in another scene he would appear to be using Jezebel. Go "Huh?" with us in 1.04 "The Wrath of Con."

-Inigo

Teen Getaway, Miss

Nickname for Veronica Mars. Kendall Casablancas calls Veronica Miss Teen Getaway, referring to Veronica and Keith's dash away from Liam Fitzpatrick. Raise your hand if you think Veronica should have run Kendall over with her car when she had the chance. Veronica's comeback to Kendall is much ruder, until Keith interrupts her in 2.20 "Look Who's Stalking."

-fickledame

Teeterborough, Phyllis

Email correspondent of Woody Goodman.
Teeterborough sends on the old mail-E
Merry, scary notes to the great Woody.
Laugh Teeterborough, cry Teeterborough
Screwed his fate must be.

One of her missives is ignored by Veronica in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

Terrence Cook
 
Terry

Professional poker player. Ah, the world of pro poker — the sky-high salaries, the bling, the endorsement deals! Oh, wait, that's pro sports; pro poker is nothing like that. One guy who might be able to give us the inside scoop on what happens at the tables is Terry Lake Garner, a pro player who appeared on The Amazing Race in 2006. After losing the race, Terry went on to win a round in the World Series of Poker. Maybe Logan is watching, hoping there's a second chance for him as well. Or maybe he's just picking up tips for his future as a pro gambler. The latter seems more likely in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

Thackeray, William Makepeace

Satirist and writer of such books as Vanity Fair. His middle name is Makepeace. How awesome is that? It's his masterful way with words that leads Logan to use one of his quotes as a voicemail message in 2.03 "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang."

-alliterator

The Guy

Secret-society flunky and inept spy. This dude, lacking in subtlety, trails Wallace at a modest distance and stares at him with the intensity of 1,000 suns. Outsmarted by our favorite baller, he's forced to admit he's merely the messenger of an elite organization in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

Thelma #2

Main character in the film Thelma and Louise. She might be a pirate queen or the first female U.S. president (whose husband looks just like Jake Kane), but she is certainly not Cliff's runaway daughter. Cliff recycles plots in 2.06 "Rat Saw God."

Thomas

Dashwood servant. In Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, which is playing while Logan, Veronica, and Max wait for their hookers, Elinor Dashwood (the divine Emma Thompson) tells the family's servants that they can only keep Thomas and Betsy on due to their change in financial circumstances. Oh, if only Jane Austen knew the context in which her work was being used.... She'd be turning over in her grave in 3.11 "Poughkeepsie, Tramps and Thieves."

Thomas Magnum

Thomas, Mark

Castle member, class of 1931. We're not sure why this guy was tapped for greatness. He ends up producing a whore. If only Veronica were able to go back in time and stop it from happening in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

-Polter-Cow

Thomas Pulido
See Pulido, Thomas
Thomas, Rob

Whore. Also, singer best known for fronting Matchbox Twenty or Matchbox 20 or matchbox twenty or whatever the hell they're calling themselves these days. Then he forsook his bandmates and went solo, creating an hourlong advertisement disguised as a teen noir that pimped Saturn vehicles, Venus razors, Teen People, FHM, Wrigley's Extra gum, American Eagle apparel, and REMY ZERO!!! Okay, that last one was from Smallville. Just be glad Duncan never yelled, "Yeah, the Faders!!!" Piz would not put it past him, however. Rob Thomas is a whore in 3.19 "Weevils Wobble But They Don't Go Down."

-Polter-Cow

Thompson, Mr.

A teammate of Wallace's in Chicago. One time, against Yates, he had seven assists. I don't know what an assist is, but by God, he had seven of 'em. Guy's got game in 2.11 "Donut Run."

Tiffany

A satisfied customer with lousy handwriting. Really. We came up with all sorts of bizarre possibilities. We even published one until the light dawned. Damn right she should be offering peace. Peace from racking our brains as to what the f—heck her name is. Evidence that Curly Moran provided her with a hot rod, when what she really needed was penmanship, appears in 2.03 "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang."

-alliterator

Tiffany #2

Fern's second cutesy nickname for Veronica. Perhaps Fern's mind is consumed with high-class jewelry, wrapped in tiny teal boxes. Maybe she's comparing Veronica to a washed-up '80s pop singer. Most likely, though, she ran down a mental list of the most popular baby names of the '80s, bypassing Jessica, Jennifer, Amanda, Ashley, and Sarah, and stopping on the most pretentious-sounding one in 3.08 "Lord of the Pi's."

-fulfilled

Tim

Neptune High student and wimp with a poor taste in friends. Sorry, but anyone who can't manage an eleven-stop pub crawl without losing consciousness is just sad. He was dropped unconscious outside Neptune Memorial by his good buddy Rick. Lamb relates the gory details in 1.12 "Clash of the Tritons."

-Inigo

Tim #2

Name on the wall. When Tim met Sally, it rained roses and tulips, and the birds were singing joyfully in the crystal blue sky. Or something like that. At least the experience was impressive enough for Tim to draw a heart around their names in the boys' bathroom in 2.09 "My Mother, the Fiend."

Tiny

According to Cliffy, an enormous murderer named Tiny could be Wallace's future cellmate, and perhaps even soulmate, if Wallace doesn't turn himself in to the cops. Comparatively speaking, considering Wallace's previous ice-queen paramour, Tiny doesn't sound half bad in 2.12 "Rashard & Wallace Go To White Castle."

-wyk

Tiny #2

A fratboy at Pi Sigma, one can only assume that he is small in stature. Or perhaps the other fratboys are making fun of the size of some other body part? One can never be sure with the dirty, dirty minds of the Veronica Mars writers. Tiny isn't a dancer (okay, we don't know that for sure, but I'm just guessing here) in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-alliterator

Tiny #3

A nickname for large men. You know, like those nicknames where they are the opposite of what the person is? Veronica's is "Easygoing Veronica." Ours would probably be "Totally Not Lazy at All Writer." Woody Goodman's might be...well, actually, his name is already the opposite of who he is in 2.21 "Happy Go Lucky."

Todd

Former Handley High School student. Rumor has it this schoolmate of Kendall Casablancas/Priscilla Banks was voted "Most likely to make his hairsylist cry." Or cheer, depending on his stylist's abilities as a miracle worker. Todd makes Dick Casablancas want to say, "Dude's hair is f***** up" in 2.19 "Nevermind the Buttocks."

Token

Veronica calls Charleston this. Given that Charleston behaves completely like any other Pi Sig brother would, and thus displays no offensive stereotypes connected to Asian-American men, or really any distinctive characteristics whatsoever, it might indeed be apt to call him a token character. Or, you know, a bit player. Veronica shows off her theoretical muscles by naming Charleston's function in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

-grimsqueaker

Tolstoy, Leo

Russian author. Aaron reads him on his quest for enlightenment. Surely he encountered the sentence "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." The Echolls family is unhappy like this: cheat, belt, stabbity, scandal, suicide, birthday, beat, belt, murder, fire, jail, kick, murder, scandal, dump, jail, fire. There's a lot of war and not much peace in 2.06 "Rat Saw God," and Veronica uses Tolstoy to direct a curious student in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

Tom

Man who placed an ad in the paper announcing his ab-fab newly refurnished condo. Ahem. If I may translate this ad-speak for a moment... "2 Bed, 1.5 Bath" = "1 bedroom and a largish closet, one bathroom with a dirty shower and working toilet, one bathroom in the basement with a sort-of working toilet." "...within walking distance to Hearst and Downtown Neptune" = "20 miles from town in a bad neighborhood. Walk at own risk." "Features stainless steel appliances, hard wood flooring, two porches, and updated lighting" = "Stove that barely works, scratched-up plywood floors, deathtrap porches, and lava lamps." Seriously, if it's as nice as he's claiming, would he really only be charging $320? Tom knows how to play the student housing market in 3.09 "Spit & Eggs."

Tonin, Professor Lisa

Apollo's mentor. Although she's billed as Apollo's surrogate mother, Dr. Tonin doesn't give Veronica much help when the wunderkind author goes missing. We're not sure what was in the files she flipped through so earnestly, but it was apparently more important than her protégé's whereabouts. Dr. Tonin doesn't give a flying flip in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

-Alex

Played by Elizabeth Karr.
Tony

Answers the phone at the San Juan Capistrano PD. As Veronica has fooled him with her impersonation of Inga at least ten times in a month, he is probably too dumb to be a cop. Is it possible to be too dumb to be a cop? Tony is bamboozled again in 1.01 "Pilot."

-Inigo

Played by Scott Barry.
Tony #2

Restaurateur or publican (keeper of a pub). His establishment, on the way to Madame Sophie's, proclaims itself with wine glasses. Once you have your reading, you can pop in and drown your sorrows in 2.05 "Blast from the Past."

-Inigo

Toombs, Felix
 
Toombs, Gustavio "Reaper Gus"

Missing and probably deceased brother of Felix Toombs. Did "the Reaper" really get killed by the Fitzpatrick Clan for trying to take over the drug trade at Neptune High or did a disgruntled PCHer wack Weevil's predecessor for handing out stupid nicknames to his gang members? Gustavio's fate remains shrouded in 2.11 "Donut Run."

-grimsqueaker

Top Gun

Tad's unoriginal and frankly ludicrous screen name. Tad, honey, you ain't no Tom Cruise (and thank god for that, since the world is not ready for more than one Tom Cruise). Four years at the Academy and four years in the Navy ain't ever gonna make it so. You won't ever be our wingman. You were the wrong sort of maverick in 1.20 "M.A.D."

-Inigo

Tory

A member of one of the political parties in Britain— wait, wrong Tory, sorry. This Tory owns a wig shop (imaginatively named Tory's). She also employes people who have good recall of race — or perhaps they just know when they are being conned with an Emmy speech in 2.16 "The Rapes of Graff."

-alliterator

Played by Daniele O'Loughlin.
Tory #2

Stripper who really likes to dance to a song called "Crazy Bitch" and smokes like a big old slutty chimney. Wow, way to play against stereotype there, Tory. She's not well-liked by her coworkers, and she might have been Landry's alibi...but we'll never know, since Timothy Foyle coerced someone else to fake his alibi instead. Wait, Tory smokes? Maybe SHE did it! Tory ain't got no alibi in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-funky-donut

Towelie

After a long day of paintballing upstanding Neptune citizens, this kid lets his hair (way) down in his friend's garage to play video games and say "dude" a lot. Not behavior that screams sober. With the help of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Veronica reminds this unabashedly baked vandal to bring a towel in 3.16 "Un-American Graffiti."

-ninamazing

Played by George Griffith.
Town Posse

Hip-hop band. When Kendall Casablancas was still Lacey Shifflet, she danced in the background of their videos. The highpoint of Kendall's early career can be admired in 2.03 "Cheatty Cheatty Bang Bang."

-grimsqueaker

Tracy, Dick

Upstanding comic strip policeman with a wristwatch radio that became a wristwatch video camera that became a wristwatch computer over the many, many years the comic strip has been going. Known to both Logan and Tim, the square-jawed upstanding hero may prefer to go another round with Madonna's Breathless Mahoney — as frightening as that may be — rather than be associated with either of less than pure Neptune residents. Logan likens his condition-of-bail-on-murder-charge ankle tag to Tracy's wristwatch wonder in 2.06 "Rat Saw God." The arrogant Tim uses Tracy's name as a password on his computer, which Veronica reckons is sweet, in 3.12 "There's Got To Be A Morning After Pill."

Does he enjoy tranquilizing unsuspecting victims in order to make them more amenable to homosexual experimentation, or does he simply embrace the tranquility of being gay? Given that he's posting in a thread titled "I can't take it anymore," we're guessing it's not the latter in 2.14 "Versatile Toppings."

-Polter-Cow

The Transplants

Punk band featuring the drummer from blink-182. I'm just not punk rock enough to have even heard of these guys, so I've got no clever riffs on song titles for you here. Dammit! Hey, I can do blink-182 riffs instead! Are you feeling this? Because Veronica must look at all the small things in order to solve her cases now that she's going away to college. The Transplants lead her to the culprit behind the trashing of the dean's car in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

-Polter-Cow

Trashy-Trash, Ms.

Jackie's inner self, as imagined by Ms. Hauser. She's mean, malicious, thievinating, and skanky to boot. You know things like two-timing Wallace, name-dropping the entire phone book, dissing Jane Austen, and humiliating Veronica on public television? She wouldn't do that. She'd do stuff that was way worse. Jackie withstands some totally false accusations in 2.13 "Ain't No Magic Mountain High Enough."

-grimsqueaker

Travolta, John

Actor. Trina tells Aaron that Escaping Your Past will do for his career what Pulp Fiction did for the star of Grease and Saturday Night Fever. We have a sneaking suspicion that Dylan's project is more likely to equate to Battleship Earth. In any event, Daddy's not buying in 1.19 "Hot Dogs."

Trent

Actor. Playing Hamlet is supposed to be the high point of any actor's life; it's all downhill from here, kiddo. If this is the peak, be glad we don't see the nadir onscreen in 2.09 "My Mother, the Fiend."

Trusdale, Kurt

Recipient of "Emission to Mars." Before Dick Casablancas got him hooked on hidden-camera porn, young Mr. Trusdale watched Happy Days and built model airplanes, but since May 22, 2007, Kurt's eyes haven't left his computer screen. We would be worried, but every twelve-year-old nineteen-year-old must drink from the chalice of pixelated nudity at least once, right? Plus, Veronica Mars is totally hot. Kurt finally gets that right of passage in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

-Alex

Tsar

L.A. rock/power pop band whose track "The Girl Who Wouldn't Die" was featured in a ratings-challenged, critically acclaimed TV show, the name of which is on the tip of our tongue. We know it was in an episode called 1.13 "Lord of the Bling." Maybe Kansasian football player Kurt Fenstermacher caught the show or the band one night, for he proudly wears their name on his chest in 3.03 "Wichita Linebacker."

Tubbs, Mr.

The bearded, bewigged equivalent of Ricardo Tubbs. Veronica calls Tim this when undercover. We can't tell if she's referring to the Jamie Foxx or Philip Michael Thomas version, but considering that Tubbs was almost always considered the less interesting partner in Miami Vice, we think we know what Veronica was thinking in 3.15 "Papa's Cabin."

-alliterator

Tubbs, Ricardo

Miami Vice detective. Style over substance and perfectly coiffed, he prowled the mean streets, and occasional love interest, with his partner, Sonny Crockett. Like Logan, we always had trouble telling them apart. Tubbs, or Crockett, makes an appearance in spirit in 1.15 "Ruskie Business."

Or does he play music from artists like Three Dog Night or Three Days Grace or Seven Mary Three or Three Doors Down or even, dare we say it, 50 Cent? No answers are to be had in 3.07 "Of Vice and Men."

Alumnus of Neptune High School. That could be Tuland. Listen for yourselves. Take a stand. He is the proprietor of Tulan/d Motors and the possible reason why Mallory Dent is with child, if matchmaker Evelyn Bugby had her way in 1.07 "The Girl Next Door."

Tully, Marcus

A member of the Castle in 1929. Not only was he a member of a secret society, he was also a racer in a secret, illegal, cross-country road race. For serious. He probably gave birth to a rogue landscaper, too. He name is on Jake Kane's hard drive (rather than a mysterious thumb drive) in 3.20 "The Bitch Is Back."

Tupac

Gangsta rapper. Deceased. It's a tough business. Looking at all those gold records, Lilly figures he is alive, walking, and called Bone in 1.13 "Lord of the Bling."

Turbonegro

Norwegian deathpunk band. Yeah, apparently their music is SO unique they made up a new name for it. No one's ever combined hard rock, rock, and punk before! They were almost going to call themselves "Nazipenis," which makes us wonder if Norwegian Wood is a member. Regardless, someone at KRFF is a deathpunk fan, according to the poster on the wall in 3.17 "Debasement Tapes."

Turgenev, Ivan

Russian author. Aaron undoubtedly spent his free time in jail turning the pages of Fathers and Sons, searching for some sort of insight into parenting. Perhaps he was disappointed to discover that it was about nihilism. What Aaron really needs is a book about why-kill-ism. He name-drops his follow-up to Hesse in 2.06 "Rat Saw God," and Veronica name-drops Turgenev to direct a curious student in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

All bios: 3.04 2.06
Turvey, Jamison

Actor. When Veronica went looking for an ordinary guy type, medium height and build, dark hair and a little thin on top, who could play hockey and play the guitar, this was one of the candidates. Honestly. Does this man look like a hockey player? The agent stretches the brief in 1.15 "Ruskie Business."

TV on the Radio

Indie rock band. Not as pasty white as most indie rockers, TV on the Radio has four African American members, including the lead singer. Their music is hard to describe, as influences range from jazz to electro. I've heard TV on the Radio on the radio. I've been waiting this whole bio to say that to say that. Max may have seen them on the TV for all we know, judging from the poster in his room in 3.18 "I Know What You'll Do Next Summer."

Twist, Oliver

A character created by Charles Dickens. Listening to Keith slander Oliver to Veronica, we reckon he can't have read this classic. He describes the Moon Calf Collective as tie-dyed versions of the saintly Twist. Now had he said Fagin, or the Artful Dodger, then okay, we'd have gotten the reference. But honestly! It's a sin to compare that little blue-eyed, blonde baby to those who would scam naïve kids to pay the bills, as Keith does in 1.09 "Drinking the Kool-Aid."

Tyan, Karena

A link in the Aaron's Kidz money trail. The final name in one of three offshoots of H. Jardon Ent., it's just a dead end in 3.04 "Charlie Don't Surf."

Tyrone

A name and a number in a matchbook. Lilly tortures her mother by creating it and leaving it lying around, as she tells Veronica in 1.22 "Leave It to Beaver."
