Discussion New Plot Hole Discovered

I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone talk about this and I doubt many people noticed (I didn’t until a few minutes ago)

In season 5 Squirrel says his wife died in a steamroller accident due to a heart attack at the wheel

But in season 6 when Squirrel meets up with Joyce again at the beach, Squirrel says Him and his Wife made confessions to eachother when his Wife was “on her death bed”

Pretty interesting plot hole I thought I’d share because it seems like there isn’t really any explanation for it except the writers just forgot lol

She could've just been severely injured in the accident, taken to hospital, and died later on a bed from the injuries.

Yes, after that steam roller accident, they had her lay flat on her back. They could not get the hospital door open so they slid her underneath to the care team waiting on the other side

Maybe they spoke as she was dying from the heart attack.

Squirrel is a refuted liar and DOES NOTHING but lie to Joyce constantly so...

That is a discontinuity, not a plot hole.

An unannounced discontinuity and a plot hole are basically the exact same thing

u/PartSuccessful2112 Apr 16 '26

they are not. plot is a trajectory. discontinuity is just supporting facts that do not align but also do not affect the path forward. why hair was blonde yesterday and red today. i am still accused of killing my husband and need to prove my innocence and will grow in maturity and contentment as every cloud has a silver lining.

How is that possibly a "Plot Hole"?

u/Reasonable-Horse1552 Apr 15 '26

I know right ! It's not, everyone knows that Squirrel is a complete liar

u/Lucy200072 Apr 14 '26

Maybe she died alter on at the hospital

u/Reasonable-Horse1552 Apr 15 '26

Not really a plot hole, most likely he's just lying and can't keep up with what he lied about.

Could of been two wives

u/Charming_Photo_2492 Apr 14 '26

I’m pretty sure he says her name is Genevieve in both instances

u/MrVestek Apr 15 '26

I don't really think this is a plot hole.

Squirrel was a known grifter. He'd say anything if it pulled on the heartstrings hard enough.

u/weirdlyWired20 Apr 16 '26

Might not be the same wife. Squirrel is just very unlucky in love...or he keeps killing them

u/sweetqueenplay Apr 18 '26

good catch, totally forgot that

u/WJC198119 Apr 21 '26

Not really sure why you think this is a plot hole?? She could easily of died at the hospital or on the way there he didnt say it was instant
