Goofs/Inconsistencies

The flashbacks to Gordon Specter's funeral are said to be "seven years ago", and Harvey himself adds that he hasn't seen her in seven years. However, the season 2 episode "Rewind" firmly establishes that Gordon died in 2007, while the current year as of this episode was established to be 2016. Therefore, it has been nine years, not seven.
The show uses sepia filters to denote when a scene is a flashback. However, during a flashback scene with Harvey and Marcus in Marcus' kitchen, the sepia filter was not added.
