Corrected entry: Kaylee gets shot in the stomach and rushed to the infirmary, where Simon works on her for some hours. Then, once she's stabilized, Mal goes and opens Simon's shipping container, in which his sister is stashed. Several scenes later, Kaylee finally wakes up from her anesthesia while Mal is with her, and makes some comment about how pretty River is lying there, even though she (Kaylee) has been unconscious the entire time River's been out of the crate. She should be asking who this stranger is.

Correction: It's blatantly obvious throughout that scene that Kaylee's doped to the gills, so she's not exactly firing on all cylinders. Even if she wasn't, Kaylee's about the most easy-going person on the ship, and it seems entirely in character for her to observe how pretty River is before worrying about who she actually is, particularly as, given that the girl's asleep in the sickbay, she's clearly not an imminent threat to the crew or ship.
