Playing at a 1/2 home game:

V1 is a loose-passive station, down a few buy-ins and a bit tilted.

V2 is a lagtard. very aggressive preflop, but generally plays straightforward post flop maybe a bit stationy.

Hero has been playing very TAG the whole night and villains have made commments about how few hands hero has played.

OTTH

V1($150) opens to $4 UTG, V2 ($250) calls UTG+1, Hero (covers) calls in CO with 10s9s, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop($20) 9d6s3d. checks to V1 who bets $6, V2 raises to $15, Hero???

Hero decides to call, folds to V1 who calls.

Turn($65) 3c. V1 checks, V2 bets $25, Hero???

I think you're beat here a lot. They both can't have aggressively played draws and what other hand do you beat? It kinda looks like V1 has an over pair and is just pot controlling trying to get to show-down.

If you are going to call the $15 on the flop, you can't really fold for so little on the turn, although it's not a bad idea. Not too much has changed. I might have raised the flop with your image, and raising now would look really strong.

I'm torn -- folding is probably best, but a raise somewhere would be really sexy. V2 could easily be on a draw and V1 could have overs -- at the table, I'd probably become a station and call the $25, but I don't think it's good poker, if that makes any sense.

So V2 is generally stationy, but raises this flop? I'm probably folding flop as his range is probably something like sets, two pair and draws, against which we're not doing all that well. If we're calling flop, we should be calling this turn given the price that V2 is laying, but I'm not loving it.
