Background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Mac is 19, a Sagittarius and her hometown is Neptune, California.[1] True to the show's spirit of moral grey areas, in the episode where Mac is introduced, she helps Veronica find out who has stolen her password and has created a false score under her name on a purity test that had become a brief fad at Neptune High. The moral ambiguity of the show is best shown in the fact that Mac, although a friend of Veronica's, is the person who created the test in the first place, thus making it possible for the "sex crazed 09ers" to access other people's purity tests - and thus is also responsible for the chaos which is the focus of this episode.

Mac has always felt she did not belong in her family; Veronica discovered that Mac was switched at birth with Madison Sinclair. Since the mistake was uncovered four years after the births, the parents decided to keep the children. Each family received a handsome cash settlement from the hospital. While Madison's family invested and flourished, Mac's started a business and went bankrupt. Madison Sinclair is a fictional character on The CW television series Veronica Mars. ...

She formerly dated Cassidy Casablancas, but the relationship ended when Cassidy balked at becoming sexually intimate with Mac. They were back together in time for graduation, when Veronica discovered that Cassidy had been responsible for (among other things) the bus crash that occurred in "Normal Is the Watchword". Cassidy, intercepting Veronica's message, robbed and abandoned Mac while she was in the shower, leaving her without clothes. He then attempted to kill Veronica, and, later that night, committed suicide. What long-term impact this will have on Mac remains to be seen.
