[Spoilers] Veronica Mars - Now it's gettin' really good

I coulda sworn the party happened before hand.

 

[Staffan]

I coulda sworn the party happened before hand.

I just checked the first episode again to make sure. Party was definitely after murder.
"I went to a party at Shelly Palmroy's, just to show everyone that their whispers and backstabbing didn't affect me. It was a mistake. (Veronica walks through party) I don't know who handed me the drink. I wish I did. It turns out it was your basic rum, coke, and roofie. (Picture goes wobbly, Veronica lies down on a sun chair, and wakes up on the couch without panties. She sheds a tear or two, and realizes what has happened.) I never told my dad. I'm not sure what he would have done with that information, but no good would have come of it. What does it matter? I'm no longer that girl. (scene changes back to Veronica staking out Jake Kane at the Camelot motel)"

Ditto Staffan. It happened after. The party was stressful early on because she was no longer part of the in-crowd, because her father was no longer sheriff, because of Lily Kane's murder.

And yes, Wallace is the new kid in school in that first episode (taped to the flag pole).

Don't forget that she's mentioned a nuber of thimes she was only part of the in crowd because she was dating Duncan, who had already broken up with her (prior to the murder as I recall).
