Continuity mistake: Mia is strangling Lily in the motel room, quite convincingly. When Lily shows up at Roy's apartment, she wearing a red scarf, presumably to hide what should be vicious bruising around her neck. When she removes the scarf, her neck is almost completely unbruised. In the time it took her to drive from Phoenix to L.A. (7 hours or so) her neck should be black with bruising. (01:39:10)
