Was continuity error in ‘And Just Like That’ season 3 episode an oversight or intentional? Fans debate

And Just Like That fans were left puzzled by a continuity issue in season 3, episode 6, involving Lisa Todd Wexley’s father.

The episode centres around Lisa, played by Nicole Ari Parker, navigating the sudden death of her theatre-loving biological father and preparing for a dramatic funeral ceremony.

However, confusion arose among viewers due to a line from season 1. In the series premiere, Lisa told Charlotte, “I was exactly the same when my father died last year,” during a discussion about Big’s passing. The contradiction sparked speculation online, with fans questioning the show’s internal consistency.

Many believed the inconsistency was a script oversight, with one viewer posting, “Lisa said her father was dead in the first season, how did he die again? Your writers need to do better.” Others proposed alternative explanations, suggesting Lisa may have had a biological father and a stepfather.

It was later clarified that the character mentioned in season 1 was Lisa’s stepdad, while the father who dies in season 3 is her biological dad, portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in season 2.

While HBO has yet to comment officially, the moment has reignited fan debate around the show’s writing and character development.

As fans debate whether the plot twist was an error or intentional complexity, And Just Like That continues to draw attention for both its drama and its detail.
