...except that back in the present, Veronica says, "I'm gonna go drink some bleach now." Casey suggests that if Veronica doesn't remember much about the party, she should leave it that way. Veronica asks if that means he saw something else. I am spent, people. No, really, I am, and I'm not even through the second act.
Back in flashback, Veronica moans that she has to go home, as the Beav looks on while Dick and Sean feed Veronica shots. This to me is at least as bad as anything else that happened at this party, given how out of it Veronica already is. I mean, she's five foot one here, and she's drinking more than Billy Martin after an extra-innings Yankees loss. We see an actress who I don't believe is the same one as in the pilot, as Casey tells Veronica that some of the guys thought it would be cool to see her make out with Shelley. We don't see if the girl-on-girl actually happens before we flash back to the present, where Veronica asks what the deal was with the shots. Casey: "Guess they were afraid you were sobering up." He leaves with a slightly bitchy look. Given that we're heading into another commercial break, shall we all put on our knee pads and take another quick trip to the bathroom? Also, it occurs to me that Shelley might have been "out of it" in a similar way to Veronica. No wonder it took a year and a half to put the events of this party together.
School. Veronica has emptied out her locker and is cleaning same. Wallace appears, and after some brief banter, Veronica apologizes for putting him up to bug Kane Software. Wallace sincerely says it's no big deal, and that he could have turned her down. He's giving himself more credit than I am, but it's a nice sentiment nonetheless. He does point out that he never asks for reasons when he agrees to do her these favors, and then informs her that Logan used one of the "untraceable tardy slips" with which he supplied her. He adds that Logan doesn't even know Wallace's name, so he's not thrilled about helping him. This one, I called. The fact that my temperature was normal while watching that scene certainly helped. Veronica lies that she gave it to Logan because she needed him to wrap up some loose ends on his mother's case. Ooh, not good. Veronica's lies are usually ones of omission, but looking her best friend in the face and lying to him is very deficient. Wallace: "Now that I have all the details, I don't feel like such a chump." He leaves, and he totally, totally knows. Awesome. He passed the chump card right back to her...
