'And Just Like That…' Fans Caught a Bizarre Plot Hole in the Most Recent Episode
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.'
And Just Like That... drops new episodes every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max.

Stevie Wonder Clears the Air on Blindness Rumors
Source: Justin Engelhardt / Radio-One Stevie Wonder recently addressed the long-standing rumor questioning his blindness during a stop on his 'Love, Light and Song' U.K. tour in Cardiff, Wales, as reported by Variety. Speaking to the audience on July 9, Wonder tackled the speculation with his signature humor and grace. In footage captured by fans, Wonder joked about the persistent rumors, saying, 'When did I want to let the world know this? But I wanted to say it right now.' He acknowledged the chatter about his ability to see, earning laughs from the crowd, before delivering a heartfelt response: 'Seriously, you know the truth.' Wonder clarified his condition, stating, 'Shortly after my birth, I became blind. Now, that was a blessing because it's allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth, of sight. See people in the spirit of them, not how they look. Not what color they are, but what color is their spirit?' The rumors, which have circulated for decades, have even been fueled by celebrities. Lionel Richie once joked on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' about an incident where Wonder pretended to drive a car, leaving Richie momentarily stunned. Wonder's playful sense of humor has often added fuel to the fire, but his recent remarks in Wales offered a poignant perspective on his life and vision. By addressing the rumors head-on, Wonder reminded fans of his unique ability to see beyond physical appearances, focusing instead on the spirit and essence of people. His words resonated deeply, showcasing the wisdom and perspective that have made him a beloved icon for generations.
