Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The apparition of Delia telling Nancy where the revised will is could be explained as simply a dream after watching one of Delia's films, especially since Nancy was shown asleep before she appeared.Karma Houdini: Apparently the entire school thought it was hilarious for Trish and Inga to try and trick Nancy into giving CPR to someone who didn't need it.Unfortunately for him, Nancy records his confession on her cell phone. Just Between You and Me: Biedermeyer reveals he was the one to kill Dehlia when he corners Nancy back at her house.His very first scene has him ignoring her questions by pretending to have just gotten a phone call from his earpiece.

And the Adventure Continues: Not long after Nancy moves back to River Heights, her dad tells her she has a phone call regarding " the Loch Ness monster, and some stolen diamonds.".Clues suggests the starlet's career spanned from about 1960 to 1980 since we learn she had a twenty year career, and she died in 1981.It's made some speculate the entire film was originally meant to be a period piece. But the age of her daughter means her career had to happen in the late 70s/early 80s at the earliest, which were a very, very different Hollywood, and the "scandal" wouldn't have been nearly such a big deal. In addition, the glamorous movie starlet behind the case Nancy investigates in-film seems to have waltzed right out of the 1930s and 1940s, both in attitude, the films she starred in, and reason for dropping out of the public eye. Ambiguous Time Period: River Heights and Nancy are seemingly completely unchanged since the 60s, but Los Angeles is clearly in the modern day.
