<i>And Just Like That…</i> Fans Spotted a Major Plot Hole in the Most Recent Episode

THE RUNDOWN

• In last week’s episode of And Just Like That..., Lisa Todd Wexley’s father died of a stroke.
• However, fans of the show pointed out that he had already been killed off earlier in the series.
• More bizarrely, Billy Dee Williams guest-starred as Lisa’s father in season 2.

And Just Like That... we have a major continuity error.

On last week’s episode of the Sex and the City spinoff, Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) finds out that her dad passed away from a stroke. She breaks down in tears and later tells Charlotte that she regrets not being able to spend more time with him because she was so busy with work (she’s currently editing a docuseries).

However, fans quickly pointed out that Lisa’s dad had already been killed off. In the first season back in 2021, after Mr. Big’s tragic Peloton death, Lisa and Charlotte had a conversation about grief, and Lisa revealed that her dad had died the year before. Then, in season 2, Lisa’s dad (Billy Dee Williams) attended her anniversary party. So, essentially, he died, came back to life, and then died again across three seasons.

Days after the episode aired, a source close to AJLT told IndieWire that Lisa was referring to her stepdad in season 1.

In a recent interview with Variety, Ari Parker discussed her character’s loss of her father. “It comes as a surprise, and like any human, losing someone you love is earth-shattering, no matter how old you are,” she said. “It does shake her ground in a way that makes her a little bit more focused—maybe a little hyper-focused. And now her marriage is, you know, not in trouble, but someone else can get her attention in this vulnerable place. So I think the death made her unsteady in a way that she might not even realize.”

She also spoke about fans’ strong reactions to the series. When asked if she thinks people have finally calmed down now that the show is in its third season, she responded, “I think they have not calmed down, but they can’t stop watching.”
