Party. Veronica hands out coasters to her coterie and tells them to do their own thing, but if they see a girl who looks out of it, they should test her drink. Wallace asks what he should do if a cute girl asks him to dance. Veronica: "Dance! Just know that your libido caused some girl to get raped." Well, Veronica, as we'll soon see, dancing can actually be used to help your cause. And it can simultaneously be used to make viewers hyperventilate in hysterical amusement, so really, everyone's a winner. Wallace keeps up the sass until Veronica produces fake IDs for everyone as "thanks for helping" presents. Aw, seems like just yesterday she was making her friends spirit boxes. They're growing up so fast. They go to the entrance, which is being manned by Bird Dog (real name "Drew," according to sites that are supposed to know these things), the dude who "underestimated the sassy" last year. He recognizes Veronica, and calls her his "favorite drink-tosser!" I would have thought he'd remember her more for zapping him with the stun gun, but maybe someone else with whom he's more taken did that as well. Anyway, they have to show ID to the Hearst police, and everyone must buy either a beer cup for ten bucks or a soda cup for five. Piz giddily buys a beer cup, and the guy instructs him to write his name on it and not to share it with a minor. Mac buys a soda cup and, off Piz's look, is all, "Like I'm gonna drink in there." Heh. Veronica checks out the coasters the guy is handing out, and tartly asks where Chip is...
...and inside, she finds him talking to some girl. It looks like David Tom now just has a normal buzz cut rather that a silly-looking head cap, which is much appreciated. Veronica flips out at Chip, since the coasters are the garden-variety ones that don't actually tell you whether you should be getting your stomach pumped. Chip is his usual unctuous self, and I'm surprised Veronica resisted the urge to make a crack about shoving something up his ass. After this little performance, I think there would have been a little less righteous anger on his behalf. God, I love David Tom, though. Veronica exasperatedly leaves.
Some dude is singing "Sweet Caroline." Piz and Wallace notice some girl who's basically totally passed out with her arms around a guy on the dance floor. And here's the scene I was talking about, as Piz gets in front of the guy and starts doing his best Elaine Benes. Wallace takes advantage of the spectacle, but once he tests the girl's drink, he does a double-take when he sees just how bad Piz's "dancing" is. Hee. I really love Chris Lowell, because intentionally dancing quite this badly requires a certain level of commitment.
