Goofs/Inconsistencies

  • Katrina mentions that it has been two years since the events of "Admission of Guilt", where she returned to Pearson Specter Litt and worked together with Rachel Zane on a case for Louis. However, not only did the episode itself come out less than two years prior to this one, but in-universe the events of that episode would have happened less than a year ago.

Kwotes
