Verifiable with no original research:

Discussion

Synopsis
- Generally this section should be called "Plot".
  - done
- Also, given the episode's status as the season finale and therefore wrapping up a lot of plot, I think it'd be worthwhile adding a short one paragraph section before this section to cover the background. Mostly just to cover anyone who is jumping into this article for the first time.
  - done Tell me if you want me to add refs to primary sources.
    - Great - only thing now is that you've got actors bracketed in the background and then again in the plot section. Best just to do it once - especially since it'll cut down on the duplicate wikilinks. Miyagawa (talk) 21:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      - done

Images
- Only issue is that you shouldn't put wikilinks in image captions where you've linked elsewhere in the article. Otherwise the images are fine.
  - done

Production
- The quote starting "We knew that Beaver was the killer..." would be better if it was clarified it came from Thomas rather than one of his crew. Miyagawa (talk) 21:06, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - done
- Gia's appearance in the Veronica Mars movie needs a cite.
  - done
Reviews
- The quotes need direct citations.
  - @Miyagawa: Let me know if that's good enough. BenLinus1214^talk 21:39, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'd found a couple that you'd missed - but I added them myself. :) Miyagawa (talk) 21:48, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
