Sympathy for the Goddess - S2-E17
Plot hole: Charlotte tells Chloe that she was talking to the man on the phone when she hears gunshots. Being a veteran detective Chloe should have noticed since the man's gun was in his pocket (Chloe comments that his phone was found on him) that he couldn't have been using it when he was shot, therefore Charlotte was lying. Yet she never realised this.






Answer: Yes and no. After the body dies, it loses about 1.5°C per hour until it reaches ambient temperature (i.e. the temperature where the body is found). But there are factors affecting the rate of loss, and one has to assume a starting temperature of 98.6°F. In this case, after factoring in the time from when the police were called to when the body temperature was checked, it would have been determined some time had passed, just not a lot, before Beth saw Moira standing over Megan. Really, what they were saying is Moira's story is believable: that she found her sister dead and picked up the hammer right as the garage door opened.
