[SPOILER] Logan’s mom kills herself (season 1) and his dad is murdered (2.22) For a while, we think that Veronica’s dad has died in a plane bombing, but he never got on the plane.
Lilly’s “ghost” haunts both Veronica and Duncan in season one (and briefly in season two), but it’s implied to be happening inside their heads, not part of any kind of paranormal activity

Yes, this show is from 2004 and there is very much period-typical homophobic comments/language there is also an entire arc surrounding framing a guy for being gay who isn't gay as well as actually gay characters are harassed in the same episode.
In one of the early S2 episodes, students are put into a prison experiment/challenge. One student playing a guard harrasses a jewish student who’s playing prisoner, spouting antisemitic jokes throughout the episode.
Not "Man in dress" exactly but in the same vein there is a scene played for laughs where guys hire their friend a transgender sex worker. The friend does not know this until he realizes the woman he is hooking up with has a penis, he freaks out and asks "What is that?" and the woman responds by asking "What do you call yours?" it's all played for laughs and it's a very off-putting scene.
